Benchmark Senior Living at Shrewsbury Crossings provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain on the same campus as their needs change. The community is equipped to support residents who wander during the day or night, display combative or other behavioral concerns, stay awake overnight, require oxygen, follow physician-ordered special diets, manage diabetes with oral medication, or are younger than 60. Care teams are trained to work with advanced dementia conditions, and care plans can be adjusted as these conditions progress.

Registered nurses or licensed practical nurses are on site, backed by an on-call nurse 24 hours a day. All staff members undergo background checks, and night shifts are covered by awake personnel. Safety measures include a fenced rear area, door alarms, WanderGuard technology, and personal emergency response systems that can alert staff or call 911. The community contracts with podiatry providers and can accept residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is available with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the team can accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, one-person or two-person transfers, full transfers with a Hoyer lift, and bed-bound residents.

Apartments can include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the room, although these features vary by unit. Families can choose the layout that best matches personal preference, mobility needs, and budget.

Meals are served three times a day with both set menus and on-order selections, and snacks are available around the clock. The culinary staff can modify textures, restrict ingredients, and manage physician-ordered diets to support diabetes, low-sodium needs, or other medical requirements.

Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, internet throughout the building, communal gardens, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
