Tom Grape

When Tom founded Benchmark Senior Living in a two-room office in Wellesley, Mass., he understood the significant health and social benefits his consumer-centered approach to senior living would provide people.

Nearly 25 years later, Benchmark is one of the largest senior housing companies in the country, with more than 60 communities that consistently receive industry-leading resident and family satisfaction scores.

Tom’s commitment to seniors has gone beyond those served by Benchmark. He has advocated for all seniors and helped pave the way for the industry both regionally and nationally.
