My father recently moved into Benchmark at Alexandria. Our experience from initial contact with the Director of Community Relations, touring the community, through admission has been nothing short of amazing. Over the past few months I continue to be very grateful for the care and support that has been provided to not only my father, but our entire family by all of the staff members during this transition. If you are looking for a very welcoming, supportive and caring community for yourself or a loved one, I suggest contacting Benchmark at Alexandria. The entire staff maintain the highest level of care and support for the residents and the community.
