Families describe a community with warm, engaged staff and a secured memory care neighborhood, though one detailed account raises serious concerns about care oversight, cleanliness, and communication during a resident's hospitalization. Overall sentiment is largely positive, with reviewers praising activities and staff attentiveness, but the negative report highlights gaps that matter for anyone considering memory care here.

Mom was in memory care for 5 months. The Memory care unit went months without housekeeper resulting in cockroach problem, very little activities for memory care residents, installed cameras in bedrooms without my consent for ‘ fall prevention’ yet no cameras in all common areas. Requested a care plan meeting and was told over 2weeks, various staff were ‘unavailable’ to participate. I was then emailed a care plan that i wasn’t included in the meeting,, and was billed retroactively to date of careplan, an additional 400/month fee. Lack of knowledgeable caregivers was an ongoing problem with constant change of staff. I felt compelled to check on my mom daily, and had friends visit a couple of hours a day to keep mom’s room/bedding/bathroom clean. My mom was sent to the hospital due to a behavioral change. She spent 22 days in the hospital with not one person from The Addison inquiring about her…i notified them at day 6 in hospital that i wasn’t sure she would be able to return. I asked if about a balance on her rentI heard back 2 weeks later with amount of monies due. Again, no inquiry of my mom’s health. I went in the evenings to remove her things as not to disturb the other residents and the night staff were genuinely concerned about my mom. Such little oversight from Ahca in terms of patient staff ratio with Alf’s and memory cares due to mostly private funds involved—no Medicare monies …and they all are bought and sold because they are big business/moneymakers.

The atmosphere of the Benton House is peaceful, family-loving and all inclusive of family members of residents and Day Care. My husband has attended day care for a year and the same staff is in place, and make us feel like family. Patients are well loved and cared for. It all begins with Matthew, the Administrator, Jessica, Receptionist, Amanda and Jackson who plan exeptional social activities that are creative and fun! Kym and staff in the Memory Care area, provide meaningful and fun art activities for the residents, as well as field trips to restaurants, movies and fun explorations in the area. No wonder they are rated #1in the nation by US World & News Report! They deserve it! If you are looking for a quality residential living or day care for a loved one, this is it!

My mother moved into The Beacon, Benton House of St. Johns’ memory care community, in October of last year. Despite the stressful limitations of COVID-19 protocol, the staff at Benton House helped make the move go smoothly In stark contrast to Mom’s previous assisted living community, Mom is well cared for and treated with a high level of dignity. The rooms and common areas are bright, cheerful, and clean. The menu options are varied and look delicious. Activities are creative and entertaining. During my biweekly visits the other residents appear happy and content, greeting me enthusiastically. While other communities struggled to keep their residents engaged and content during the pandemic lockdown, the staff at Benton House excelled.
