Benton House of Grayson

They are a horrible agency to work for or to receive services from very unprofessional Not in the best interest for the patients

From the moment I walked into the Benton House of Grayson, I felt the loving energy and knew my Mother would be well taken care of. I have not been disappointed. The director is Christine and she runs a great facility. Jenna is in sales and greets you every time you walk in. Everyone is gracious and caring. Denise is at the front desk and coordinates everything. Sharlene is responsible for the medical part and she is on top of all things that come up. I can't say enough nice things and both Mom and I teared up as we moved out today. It's not BH's fault. If they had a Hoyer lift (My Mother can no longer stand or walk) we would be there today. I sure hope the owner's of the company know how great the staff is. And the food is also good. We will miss everyone. Debbie A.

I am an independent art teacher and work out of many facilities in the area. The Benton house has something extra. The staff always seems to be smiling and there are lots of activities for people to choose from. The place is always clean and inviting.Very nice place.

My dad was resistant to any sort of assisted living arrangement and one of his fears was being so far away that we wouldn't visit. I explored and popped in for lunch at several facilities in our area that met our financial expectations and had been referred by members of dad's care team as possibilities. Benton House was the only facility dad visited and he fell in love with the director, the staff, the community, and the facility on the very first visit. Initially, he felt that he was 'just going to give it a try' and within just a few weeks, felt this was where he sincerely wanted to be at this point in his life. Dad's diagnosis of Parkinson's bewildered us at first and watching him decline during our year of care of him was disheartening. Since moving into the Benton House in Grayson, his health has drastically improved and we believe this is due in large part to the fact that he is incredibly happy. He has made new friends, eats great food (the new director heard those earlier complaints of less-than-inspired offerings), gets his medicine on time and overall, is thriving in this environment. His doctors are pleased, we're thrilled, and Dad is happy to be a Grayson resident in his apartment at Benton House. As a family, we are relieved, thankful, and just so, so, so blessed to have Christine, Sharlene, and the whole BH staff as our partners in this adventure.

THE WORST PLACE TO WORK...I FEEL BAD FOR THE RESIDENTS...THERE IS NO COMUNICATION AT ALL BETWEEN THE KITCHEN AND THE STAFF( WAITERS, HOUSKEEPING, CNAS)...FOOD SUCKS BECAUSE MOSTLY OF THE FOOD COMES FROZEN AND PROCESSED WITH ALREADY PRINTED STUPID MENU FROM US FOODS ( EVEN IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE SOMETHING IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE CORPORATE AND TO WAIT 3-4 MONTHS FOR THE ANSWER NO WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE STUPID MENU...NO BENEFITS AT ALL ...STAFF VERY RUDE TO RESIDENTS ( Theyre afraid to ask or to change their order) IF YOURE HIRED LIKE FOOD SERVICE DIRECTOR OR COOK YOU'RE FINISHING TO BE A DISHWASHER ... AND NOBODY CARES ABOUT THAT... NO GOOD COOKS OR CHEFS RESTING TOO LONG THERE GOOD TRAINED SAFF LEAVES (70% of The STAFF WENT TO THE OTHER COMMUNITY DOGWOODFOREST ACROSS THE STREET )A LOT OF TURNOVERS ...
