Benton House at Oakleaf

We moved my Mom into the assisted living at Benton House at Oakleaf in July of 2018 where she is safe, compassionately cared for and loved. I was amazed at how well she adjusted after a little time and finally became a part of the community. A few days before Covid virus shut everything down, we moved her into the memory care unit at the same location. What a blessing that was because her dementia is progressing and she needs that extra care and help. There are wonderful people working at Benton House....from the front desk, to the administrator, the nurses, to all of the staff that provide room care, clothes washing, and custodial service, as well as the serving staff and chefs in the kitchen! It just touches my heart that they know what my Mom loves to eat and wear. They will even take time to dance with her when the mood hits! They know her by name and accept her hugs readily. There is one special lady in the memory care unit~ Miss Barbara~ who I feel goes above and beyond for my Mom while I cannot be there. I know she loves all of the residents as well. That means the world to me and I will never forget her kindness and the FaceTime calls she makes so I can "visit" with Momma!
Benton House at Oakleaf has worked so hard to maintain a strict, healthy and clean program and I'm so thankful for their efforts!

I was at wits end with my Mother who had Dementia with Lewy Bodies. My husband and I have been caring for her for almost 5 years, 3 of which we lived together. It's hard being a loved one and care taker. We had not had any sleep in weeks and we were completely worn out when I found Benton House. I was on the internet and Lisa Picard from Benton House reached out to me and I can tell ypu, she was a gift from God, not only for me and my husband but ultimately for my mother as well.
She was kind and compassionate and understood exactly what we needed. The staff and Lisa helped me through an extremely hard time.
They offered respuit care and a 30 day program until we decided to make it her home.
The staff treated her with kindness and respect and alot of patience.
I want to thank everyone at Benton House for helping myself, my mother and our family with caring for my Mom.
I especially want to thank Lisa Picard because she knew exactly what I needed and she was kind and understanding.I also want to do a thank you to Barb as well. She runs the memory care area and she is wonderful with the residents.
THANK YOU to all the staff!!!!
From the bottom of our hearts. Benton House was truly a blessing for us!!

Lisa Picard,

Thank you so very much for all your help. You have no idea how much stress it has relieved! You have an amazing wealth of knowledge, you gave me more information in one conversation than I have gotten from countless sources in the last year and half. I cannot express my gratitude enough!!

Best Regards,
