Overview
Benchmark at Mount Pleasant is Thornwood’s first assisted living community offering exceptional care and experiences for seniors.
Enjoy time with friends in our modern, charming campus minutes from shopping and dining. Savor seasonal, chef-prepared meals indoors in the café or dining room or outdoors
overlooking our beautiful, wooded setting. Watch a classic film in the movie theater or learn a new game in the card room. Relish the convenience of having transportation to ACME Market and Westwood Swim & Tennis Club down the street and trips to nearby historic sites, parks and beaches. Explore daily programs, such as intergenerational offerings with surrounding schools, and others that address the creative arts, lifelong learning and more.
At Benchmark, we get to know you, understanding the people, passions and things that matter most to you. We connect individuals to others who share their interests and provide
experiences throughout each day that nurture passions and connections.
This is what it means to be a Benchmark Senior Living community.

The Benchmark of Mount Pleasant is the nicest and modern senior assisted and memory care home. The people are the warmest, cordial and helpful as can be. I’ve seen many an assisted living facility and this is top notch, simply the best. Food is chef prepared and care assistance is like having family attend to our loved one’s needs. Everyone says what a beautiful facility.
