    Lovely community but understaffed occasionally

    I toured several places and chose Benton House - it's a beautiful, clean, small community with large bright rooms, active activities, good food and many caring staff. My mom transitioned well and staff were generally warm, helpful and attentive, especially during the tour and move-in. That said, chronic understaffing, spotty communication/coordination (nights/weekends), inconsistent training and occasional safety concerns meant care could be delayed or uneven, particularly for residents who need more hands-on help. For more mobile seniors it's excellent; I recommend it with the caveat to set clear expectations and stay involved.
