Turn around and run away. There’s a lot of other places around that are for the same price. All assisted living places have their flaws but Evans Park made is clear to our family they were one of those places. Millions of dollars in renovations cannot make up for their lack of leadership and lack of professionalism benchmark provides. I can’t speak for all benchmark locations but from first hand experience, this is not the place to have a loved one live. I wish 0 stars were an option.

This is a nicely renovated place with friendly staff. The care team is attentive to the residents. It’s a wonderful home for your loved one.
Though my mother will likely move to a different assisted living facility strictly on the basis of proximity to me, we were extremely impressed by the people at Evans Park -- caring, switched on, professional, patient -- and considered it seriously. Director of Community Relations Ron Seagrave in particular was wonderful; he took a genuine interest in my mother and provided guidance well beyond what we could have expected. Thank you!
My experience over many years with the Executive Director, Maria Barbosa, has been consistently positive. She is highly professional and is both competent and compassionate in her interactions with both residents and their families. My mother’s decline presented a number of challenges. Maria always took the time to give her and me, her daughter and principal caretaker, the support we needed. My mother has passed but I still keep in touch with Maria and will always be grateful to her. Jackie O
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation to the administration and staff at Evans Park in Newton Corner. My mother Olympia became a part of your community approximately four years ago. While at first the transition was challenging (as you would expect for any 96 year old independent Italian woman) mom ended up embracing and being a vital part of this great residence. She was under the direction of four different executive directors during her time there, and was particularly close with Todd Raymond, Renato DeLeon and most current Maria Barbosa-Santos. They all treated my Mom like family and on many occasions she commented about how great they all were. My mom fell asleep not long ago and the care and concern shown by the staff at Evans Park was beyond exemplary. Mom made it a point that members of the staff should be recognized when she was gone and we have done our best to honor her wish. Her last few days on this earth were challenging for all of us, her mind was intact but her body was shutting done (at 101.75) that happens. However, under the direction of Ms. Barbosa-Santos, everything and anything my family needed in those final days was provided for us with grace and concern. The outpouring of support by the staff in expressing their love for my Mom is something, that we as a family, will remember always. If you are looking for a community that will care and embrace a loved one and make them a part of an extended family, I highly recommend Evans Park in Newton Corner.
