Benchmark Senior Living continually sets the bar higher.
Health Care REIT can identify with that.

The Benchmark portfolio contains 34 premier senior living communities in six Northeast states – Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. This portfolio includes 3,005 units for assisted living, memory care and independent living. The majority of the communities offer a continuum of care, which is increasingly demanded by consumers who desire to “age in place.”

Led by Tom Grape, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Benchmark Senior Living has grown from a disciplined management approach and its vision to be a great company delivering world-class senior living services. The name “Benchmark” means a standard by which something can be measured. It was chosen to reflect its focus on excellence.

Benchmark’s values-based culture focuses on three areas – improving the experience of senior living, being one of the best places to work in the industry and providing attractive returns for investors. The partnership with Health Care REIT developed because these values aligned.

Trust and performance characterize Health Care REIT’s approach to business and Benchmark took notice. “We have known Health Care REIT over a long period of time,” says Tom Grape. “We were impressed by their demonstrated abilities for a quality personal relationship.” The addition of Health Care REIT’s full platform of services for acquiring, managing and monetizing real estate assets resulted in a perfect fit. “It was a perfect confluence of events when Health Care REIT reached out to us,” explains Tom Grape. “We saw it as turning a page for a new chapter in our company, with a strong foundation for growth.”

“This positions us with a capital partner and a stable foundation to grow. We can now add properties and pursue new initiatives like geographic expansion beyond our six New England states.”
