Jessica and the staff at Benchmark were incredibly helpful with my sister’s move there. The focus was on getting my sister moved in and settled smoothly. They all went above and beyond in helping us with her move, and we so appreciated their caring and kindness during this challenging transition!

A big thank you to Jessica for her professionalism. In searching for an assisted living facility for my mother - Jessica made the touring process informative, uplifting and fun. She is smart, intuitive and experienced. A good listener and guide - Jessica makes a difficult process easy.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Jessica and the entire staff at Clapboard Tree. My company has the privilege of moving seniors which can be a stressful and emotional time. Jessica's priority is always "What does this resident need? What can we do to make this comfortable and safe?". Occasionally there is an urgent need that requires thoughtful collaboration between many parties, Jessica and the extended team are the head conductors in creating a seamless experience for future residents. Positive energy and warm smiles meet residents and guests throughout this inviting community. I love returning to Clapboard Tree and seeing my previous client's fully engaged in activities and socializing with friends!

My brother and I recently had the pleasure of touring and learning about Benchmark at Clapboardtree for a potential change of living situation for our elderly 90+ year old relative. Jessica could not possibly have been any more welcoming, accommodating, and informative. The physical environment in the general areas is pleasant, modern, and lovely along with the well maintained studio suites that afford the ultimate in convenience and privacy. What impressed me even more than the physical setting was the wonderful spirit of community that was palpable in being in this setting for our terrific visit. It is such a wonderful reassurance knowing that this senior living setting is available right in the Norwood community when the timing is right for our loved one. Thank you, Jessica, for our interesting and informative “two hour tour”.

We had a wonderful experience on the tour with Jessica. Her extensive knowledge made the journey even more enjoyable, and she answered all our questions with ease. My aunt, who initially wasn't the most enthusiastic participant, ended up laughing the whole time thanks to Jessica's great sense of humor. We will definitely reach out again soon!
