August 1, 2019, East Haven, Conn. – Benchmark, a human connection company and leading provider of senior living services in the Northeast, today announced that The Village at Mariner’s Point, a Benchmark assisted living and memory care community in East Haven, Conn., has been recognized as amongst the best in senior living through Shore Publishing’s annual Best on the Shoreline awards. Nominated by those in the communities they serve, Mariner’s Point was the only dedicated assisted living and memory care community to receive the award.

The Village at Mariner’s Point is a grand, seaside community providing individualized assisted living and memory care for all stages of dementia supported by Benchmark’s effective, award-winning Mind and Memory approach; a robust activities program; experienced staff; and a host of on-site amenities. Unlike other communities in the area, Mariner’s Point offers a more affordable rental model that is tailored to the needs of each individual resident.

“Our singular focus every day is to elevate human connection and do what we can to ensure our residents and their loved ones stay connected to what matters most so it’s exciting to have that recognized by those in the communities we serve,” says Susan Gillanders, executive director of Mariner’s Point. “To win this award is a huge honor and we couldn’t be more grateful to all of those who voted for us.”
