This has become her home, and she is surrounded with caregivers who ensure her safety and well being. Grateful for the care she is receiving!

We love all of the staff at Benton HouseThey are fabulous, fun and caring

The staff at Benton House have truly changed my mother's life. Over a year ago, my brother and I realized that we could no longer care for her ourselves. Our oldest brother had passed away just a few months before, and Mom was inconsolable, physically and emotionally in terrible shape. She had always expressly said that she never wanted to be put in a 'home,' but she was just not safe without someone around 24 hours a day. Thankfully, we found Benton House. She was surprised at how nice it seemed, and she agreed to try it.Since then, there have been a number of changes in our lives, but the one constant has been the support and compassion of everyone at Benton House. My mother is not just better since coming there - she is thriving and experiencing real happiness again. She spends time with peers who understand what its like to be her age. She takes part in outings and in-house activities that are fun and give her a sense of purpose. She is happier and healthier than she has been in years. She has gotten so much better that we recently discussed her moving back home. She wasn't interested. 'I am home,' she said.And that is the great irony: never wanting to be in a 'home,' she found her home at Benton House. It truly is assisted living. She is living her life, being her best version of herself; she simply gets help with all those things she needs while maintaining her independence and sense of self. She no longer has to worry about falling, or accidentally leaving the gas burner on overnight, or forgetting to eat or take her medicine. Continence issues, difficulty bathing and getting dressed things that used to make her feel like a burden are all handled with great care and compassion by the staff at Benton House. Mom tells me almost every day how well she is treated. The staff there have become like family to her and to all of us that love her. Whenever I leave after visiting, I find myself wishing that all assisted living centers could be that good. Getting older is difficult, but when you are valued for the person you are despite the things you can no longer do yourself, there is so much joy to be had! My mother is experiencing the joys of aging because of the kindness of the people who assist her every day. For that, we are blessed, and we are thankful.
