Setting The Standard For Senior Living
Since our inception, Benchmark Senior Living communities have earned more than 200 national, regional, state and local awards. Our associates, the compassionate care they provide, community programs, dining experiences and overall quality have repeatedly been recognized as the best. Our residents, their families, the greater communities we serve and our industry have continually selected our senior living communities over others.
Our Commitment To Inclusion
Benchmark Senior Living is committed to fostering an environment where our associates feel safe, respected and heard.
Colleagues across our organization collaborate to embed diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) across our processes, practices and policies. At the heart of this effort is the Inclusion Advisory Council, a group of associates who are committed to ensuring everyone in our organization feels welcomed, valued, and empowered to grow.

Together, we are devoted to nurturing a community where everyone feels they belong.
