Benchmark Senior Living was founded in 1997 by the company’s Chairman and CEO Tom Grape. Tom had long recognized the value of the consumer-centered approach to senior living and the many health and social benefits the philosophy offers residents.



Not only had Tom decided to make senior living his life’s work, but he did so with a commitment to set the industry standard – to be the benchmark.



Today, Benchmark is a leader in senior living throughout the Northeast, offering independent living, assisted living, mind and memory care, continuing care retirement communities and respite care options in 63 communities across seven states.
