Chelmsford Crossings Awarded Best Assisted Living by U.S. News

Out of the more than 250 assisted living communities in Massachusetts, Benchmark Senior Living at Chelmsford Crossings has been selected as one of the best in the commonwealth by U.S. News & World Report.

Benchmark Senior Living at Chelmsford Crossings earned “Best” status by achieving the highest possible rating for assisted living in U.S. News & World Report’s inaugural Best Senior Living ratings following a comprehensive consumer satisfaction survey. Chelmsford Crossings’ residents and family members gave the community high marks in critical areas, such as overall value, management and staff, resident enrichment, dining and food, safety, transportation, maintenance, housekeeping and location.

“For 25 years, Benchmark communities have set the standard for senior care excellence in the Northeast. The U.S. News & World Report designation is special because – once again – it’s our residents and their families who are validating the important and successful role Benchmark associates play in their lives,” said Tom Grape, founder, chairman and CEO of Benchmark, New England’s largest senior living provider with 64 communities throughout the Northeast.

Benchmark Senior Living at Chelmsford Crossings offers traditional senior assisted living and independent assisted living for those who would benefit from a safer, engaging environment, chef-prepared meals, supportive living services, transportation and assistance with daily activities, such as getting dressed and medication management. Residents enjoy connecting over programs and amenities offered in many common spaces including a recreation room, demonstration kitchen, library, hair salon, private dining room and outdoor courtyards with walking paths.

“Whether it’s connecting our residents to their passions, providing meals just the way they like or making sure they get to doctor’s appointments, our associates constantly strive for excellence in all they do,” said Barry Hillerstrom, executive director of Chelmsford Crossings. “Chelmsford Crossings is truly an extraordinary community committed to supporting one another, and we are thrilled to now be among an elite group in Massachusetts.”

For more than 30 years, U.S. News has served the American public as an unbiased arbiter of quality across a variety of important choices. Whether picking a college, selecting a hospital or moving to a nursing home, consumers go to U.S. News to research and make consequential life decisions.

“Until now, families have had limited information when comparing providers of independent living, assisted living, memory care or continuing care,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “The Best Senior Living ratings fill this informational gap with comprehensive and transparent data to help older consumers and their families identify high-quality senior living communities that meet their needs and preferences.”
