Team members are specially trained in Montessori methods to support memory care residents.

Offerings include chair yoga, balance exercises, and wellness programs; themed parties, holiday celebrations, happy hours, and community outings; arts and crafts, cooking classes, music programs, and lifelong learning opportunities; and opportunities for worship and reflection with nearby faith communities.

I rarely give a negative review but anyone looking into putting a loved one into the care of Benton House should seriously reconsider their options. My mom spent less than a year here and it was full of turbulence. I think it stems from poor leadership. The medical director quit. People were fired for smoking pot while on the job, temps are brought in on evening and weekends. My mom complained of certain people mistreating her. It was a terrible experience. There were a few good people mixed in but as a whole, I do not recommend.

Since 2018 I have had positive experiences working with, and referring to, the Benton House of Staley Hills.  Their welcoming community is always a joy to visit and support.  I constantly hear positive feedback from my clients and contacts who either live at Benton House themselves or have a family member living there. Sandy, Michaela, and their team are fantastic!
