Benton House of Decatur

Benton House handles burdensome tasks such as cooking and cleaning so residents can focus on the important things in life. Free from home upkeep chores, our residents can focus on family, friends and fun. But with personal emergency response systems and 24-hour access to staff, residents feel at ease knowing support is available if needed.

Some seniors may need help managing their medications or other types of personal assistance. Our communities offer a variety of senior living & personal care support to match individual needs. Every member of our staff provides assistance discreetly and with great care.

Benton House combines dignity and choice within a framework of independence and support. It’s one of the many reasons our residents feel truly at home here.

Our Beacon neighborhood’s innovative design includes free access to a beautifully enclosed courtyard where residents can enjoy gardening, walking or simply relaxing in a favorite rocking chair. Families can rest easy knowing the Beacon neighborhood is keypad protected while our residents can truly feel free to move around their home.

As many caregivers can attest, familiar routines can be reassuring to those experiencing Alzheimer’s Disease or other memory loss. But as the saying goes “variety is the spice of life.” Benton House seeks to blend both of these needs through our Daily Life.

In practice this means while certain aspects of daily living, such as dining, fitness or relaxation, occur at roughly at the same time each day, we seek to vary the activities and events within those time periods so each day feels both familiar and fresh.

Ensuring that daily life remains fun and eventful is the responsibility of the Beacon Coordinator, a person dedicated exclusively to the service of the Beacon Neighborhood residents.

For many, the happiest memories of life are the wonderful meals shared with family and friends. Unfortunately for many seniors, this fulfilling part of life has now become burdensome and lonely. Benton House seeks to recapture the fun and spirit of family dining every day. And we do so mindful of nutritional needs and resident choice.
