According to the company, which operates three senior care facilities in Rhode Island with 317 employees, the corporate wellness program is a personalized program accessed via a website or mobile app, and at no cost to staff.

Benchmark said, “As a result of our wellness program, we have better retention. For those that obtain wellness levels, we’ve been able to reduce associates’ medical deductions.”

The Rhode Island locations are three of 56 senior living communities offering independent living, assisted living, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and continuing care beyond the Ocean State in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Vermont.

A healthy thought:
‘As a result of our wellness program, we have better retention.’
