What Edgehill does

Edgehill is a Type-A Lifecare Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) located on a 32-acre campus at 122 Palmers Hill Road in Stamford, Connecticut, on the Greenwich border. Founded in 1999 and operated by Benchmark Senior Living, it serves affluent seniors aged 62+ in the Fairfield County market with a full continuum of care delivered on a single campus: 216 Independent Living apartment homes (across roughly 10 floor plans ranging from ~765 to ~1,216 sq ft), Assisted Living, Mind & Memory Care, and a Sub-Acute Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing neighborhood rated five stars by Medicare. Edgehill's core product is the Lifecare Type-A CCRC contract, which pairs a 90% refundable one-time entrance fee with monthly service fees starting at $7,550, granting residents priority access to higher-acuity care at predictable cost.

The business model is a hybrid of subscription recurring revenue (monthly service fees, Signature Services for medication management) and one-time refundable capital (entrance fees). GTM is sales-led with dedicated on-site sales leadership, supplemented by educational events (e.g., "Experts & Experience"), Matterport 3D virtual tours, content marketing via a senior living blog, social media, email, PR, and a $10,000 resident referral credit. Customer segments are verticalized by acuity: Independent Living (primary), Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Sub-Acute Rehabilitation. Ancillary revenue is generated via enhanced care services and Medicare-reimbursed rehabilitation.

Edgehill's technology footprint is standard for the sector: 3D virtual tour capability via Matterport, OpenTable for dining reservations, website-based tour scheduling, and standard CRM-style lead capture. There is no proprietary platform, no AI/ML capability disclosed, and no mobile app. Operations rely on a stable, long-tenured workforce — the highest associate retention rate within the Benchmark portfolio (45+ Danzinger Society members at 15+ years tenure, 75 associates at 10+ years). Brand equity is reinforced by sustained third-party validation: U.S. News & World Report Best CCRC (4 consecutive years), Best Independent Living (5 years), Best Short-Term Rehabilitation (7 years), Best Long-Term Care (3 years), a 2026 DISHED "Palate Pleaser" award for Executive Chef Anthony Napolitano, and twelve-year fundraising streaks with the Alzheimer's Association and Stamford Health Bennett Cancer Center.
