The Northeast’s
Leading Memory
Care Provider
When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, family members are often confused about what steps to take and fearful about what lies ahead.
Although the most common symptoms
are memory loss, fuzzy thinking and an inability to control one’s emotions, there are many different types of dementia, and they affect each person differently. Caregivers often face issues such as how to prevent wandering outside the home, how to ensure the proper nutrition and support, and how to keep their loved ones connected and engaged.
Benchmark has been the Northeast’s leading memory care provider for over 27 years, addressing dementia challenges while facilitating strong connections that instill a sense of belonging and purpose. Comfortable, secure neighborhoods, individualized, round-the-clock care and
specialized programs are overseen by skilled associates trained to provide optimal experiences.
Below are just some of the many ways Benchmark at Mount Pleasant will support families and loved ones living with dementia.
