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

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.

My family had a bad experience. The facility looks shiny and new, but there are big problems. They appeared to be wholly unable to look after my loved one, frequently requiring us to hire external aids. My loved one regularly complained about the quality of the food. Staff turnover was rapid with senior people not remaining in place. It was unstable and chaotic. Management at the senior level was confrontational, lacked compassion, and conducted themselves in an unprofessional manner. I strongly recommend avoid this facility. This was truly a horrible experience. My advice to Benchmark is to find suitable management because your residents deserve it.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Benchmark at Mount Pleasant, and I was truly impressed. The staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, creating a supportive environment from the moment I walked in. The community itself is beautiful, well‑maintained, and thoughtfully designed to make residents feel comfortable and at home. It’s clear that Benchmark prioritizes compassion, professionalism, and quality care — all of which shined through during my visit. I would highly recommend Benchmark at Mount Pleasant to anyone looking for a caring and engaged senior living community.

The Benchmark is so beautiful and Vilma is super friendly and accommodating. Everybody there is very nice and you always get welcomed as soon as you walk in the door. I especially love the little fine touches that they put in the place and I would recommend anybody looking for that kind of place to put their loved ones there.
