Benchmark Senior Living began as a vision of Thomas H Grape, Chairman and CEO of Benchmark, to be a great company delivering world class Senior living services. Today Benchmark stands with a mission to creatively improve the experience of aging.

"I wanted to be in a career that would give me the opportunity to build something tangible. I knew senior living had a great future and I wanted to be in on the ground floor. Of course I didn’t do it alone, not by a long shot. From the start, Benchmark has been blessed with a team of incredibly smart, talented, hardworking, high-energy people- not only in the Home Office in Wellesley, but in each and every one of our communities throughout New England. I love the fact that what I do really touches people’s lives in a personal way. I’ve built office buildings in the past. Who cares if you build another one? But doing this right — doing senior living right — that’s different. I see it in the letters we get, the lives we touch, the stories we hear."
-Tom Grape, Benchmark Senior Living, Chairman and CEO
"My professional priority is to drive superior quality, unsurpassed resident care, and a strong team culture at Benchmark. Providing excellent care is essentially about understanding people. Benchmark's commitment to culture, mission and values strongly aligns with my personal and professional profile - each day I look forward to partnering with Tom and all of Benchmark’s associates in delivering the best quality of care and services to the seniors in New England."
-Stephanie Handelson, Benchmark Senior Living, Chief Operating Officer
