Benchmark Senior Living at Putnam Farm was a beautiful building. It was well maintained. They had friendly and attentive staff. I liked the level of cleanliness there, and the maintenance of the whole facility was great. They were in a beautiful location with very nice outdoor areas for walking.

My mother is at Benchmark Senior Living at Putnam Farm. She's in memory care. I like it because it's very small. It's only 20 people in her wing. They all eat in the kitchen and it's very family-style and small community. I think that the staff cares about the people who live there. They have activities all day long. They have music groups and memory groups, arts and crafts, they go outside and play games, they have musicians come in and have sing-alongs, and they play bingo. I have eaten there and the food was fine.

I am very concerned about the residents' safety at Putnam Farm. Putnam Farm has gone from an excellent facility to one that is mediocre at best. My Dad lived in the Harbor memory care section of Putnam Farm from September 2016 - January 2017 until he passed. The care he received then was exceptional! I moved my mom from the assisted living side to the Harbor Memory care unit in April 2020 and it was a completely different experience in the worst way possible and she passed away 3 months after being moved to Harbor on July 31, 2020. 2020. The staff was sparse and hard to connect with. One example is when my mom fell out of bed, I did not receive a call, and somebody put her back in bed without notifying anybody. The day team found her that morning, in a great deal of pain, in her bed, and sent her to the hospital with no paperwork. I had to make several calls to find her. The surgeon at Salem Hospital told me there is no way she could have gotten back into bed on her own due to the severity of the hip fracture. After my mom's fall, Putnam was not able to provide the level of care that she needed, so I stepped in and stayed with her in her room. I asked for an investigation from the director of Harbor, and the director of Putnam, but they never got back to me with an answer, and both subsequently quit their jobs shortly after. The lead nurse in charge of Harbor resigned from her job right after as well. Please, if you value your loved ones, think twice before putting them into Putnam Farm at Danvers, Benchmark Living.
