Benedictine Living Community – At The Shrine Reviews

Benedictine Living Community at the Shrine has been a true blessing for our family. My parents have both stayed in different parts of the community — my mother in Dammert Nursing Care, including during her brief hospice stay, and my father in both nursing and independent living. I have always felt a sense of peace and security knowing they are surrounded by staff who truly care about their well-being. My father has received rehabilitation and ongoing supportive services that have allowed him to maintain a level of independence he might not otherwise have. I’m deeply grateful for the compassionate staff and the warm, welcoming culture that makes this such a special community.

We loved that our parents could start in Independent Living, then move to Assisted Living and/or Skilled Nursing and still be in the same complex. We had no idea how much we would absolutely love every aspect of each. They are very sufficiently staffed and the care is impeccable. The activities are thoughtful and engaging. Our parents have thoroughly enjoyed their experience. They are also very supportive of family and even offer on-site lodging for out-of-town visitors. I am so grateful our parents were able to come here!

Our mother recently moved here from another place because she needed more intense nursing care and we found this at the Dammert center. From the very first call and visit, we knew this was the right place for her. She has been there a little over 6 months and we have been satisfied with her care, the food, the activities and friendliness of the staff. We recommend Benedictine!

Benedictine is not your usually large retirement facility. It’s a nice size so the residents can get that personalize touch. Employees are friendly and always willing to assist. Vicky and Mary are the cleaning custodians and are very nice. The maintenance guys are superb (Jim, Bruce, Roger and countless others are wonderful). The facility brings in interesting entertainment on a regular basis. They also have field trips and outings for the residents to enjoy. They have chair volleyball and exercise classes for the residents. The employees try to stay on top of the needs of the residents. During the holidays, the entire Shrine area is decorated in Christmas lights.
