Benchmark at Rye completes expansion

Route 1 campus welcomed its first residents in May

Benchmark at Rye, an assisted living and mind and memory care community, opened a new 60,000-square-foot addition at its Route 1 campus, welcoming its first residents on May 1.

The expansion, which is the first new assisted living development in the greater Portsmouth area in decades, has generated significant interest since its announcement last year, the company says.

Demand is being driven by both an aging population and the Seacoast’s increasing popularity, fueled by its coastal appeal, and proximity to Boston and Portland, Benchmark notes.

The community includes an adjacent 40-apartment mind and memory care neighborhood. Designed for those living with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other memory impairments, it allows couples and family members with different care needs to remain close.
