Over a year later and my Dad still loves the staff in Assisted Living. It's a stable place and we recognize everyone. This is a clean, quiet place with weekly activities. Bingo seems to be a hit. Added bonus of switching to the on-site primary care physician and weekly mobile lab tests.

My sister has been at the Benedictine Living Community for almost two years now. Since she has been there she has spent time in independent living, skilled care and assisted living. The staff in all three areas have been wonderful. They are professional and caring. They get to know each person and their families. I recommend the Benedictine Living Community to you.

As a visitor to several area senior care facilities, I can definitely say that the Benedictine Living Community is somewhere I could and do recommend to anyone who's considering the next step in their life. The staff, rooms, activities provided are way above the normal standard. The grounds at the Benedictine are incredibly beautiful and serene, helping to make the total package even better
