Colleagues describe him as "When you think of a leader, Eric Benson comes to mind. Being a part of his executive director team, he motivated not only me, but everyone around him. His charismatic approach, patience, and work ethic defines him as a professional. When I first met him Eric, he was transparent about the goals around the business and how forming a good team around me and sharing knowledge to grow others propelled success within our Senior living portfolio. Eric is a professional who understands the power of creating relationships and growing others around him. This skill is difficult to master and sets him apart from others. His motivation and drive to do good is contagious throughout every level of an organization. As an Executive Director, when I was posed with difficult decisions, I was always able to discuss at length a solution to the problem. Eric always supported me in any way possible. Our business in Senior living is two fold, taking care of people and managing narrow financial margins to operate successfully. Eric provided the guidance and tools necessary during one of the hardest financial moments in healthcare (Covid 19 pandemic). Staffing was a challenge for everyone, but Eric’s positive personality and ideas on how to take care of the team and residents truly made a difference in everyone’s life. It was a pleasure working with Eric and I am confident that in any role or organization that he works with will be destined for greatness. Sincerely, Matthew J. Cortis, NHA, MBA Regional Director of Operations for OakBrook Senior Living", "When you are looking for an Operations Partner, Eric is one of the best. In nursing, we sometimes fear we will not be heard or that our concerns will take a back seat to the budget, but one thing is for sure--- Eric will always listen and collaborate to find a potential solution so that the outcome is positive. It's a rare day to find someone who understands the intricacies of Senior Living and can still somehow manage to balance it all. He is what you look for in a leader-- as a executive who didn't "have to", I have seen Eric give tours (and make the sale), tie ribbons on gifts for a grand opening, and sneak into the community kitchen to grab a glass of milk for someone's special request. I've also seen him coach other leaders up to be their best selves, generate palpable success in a region's KPIs, and analyze systems to improve operational successes. With Eric's keen talent for operations and his innate ability to lead, any company would be thankful to have him as a part of their team.", and "Eric expertly fills the role of Regional Director of Operations for Anthology Senior Living for nearly 2 years now. Eric has a proven success rate with leading his communities leadership teams to being the best region in our company. Few people have the opportunity to work with someone who understands each aspect of the industry and leads his teams by coaching, mentoring and leading by an exemplary example. Eric expects everyone working with his region to excel and he is the leader to get you there! Eric’s ability to handle multiple projects with ease is unlike any I’ve seen before and he has taught each of us how to continue to be productive in the midst of projects. Eric has a knack of always making people feel comfortable in tense situations and end with a smile. Eric is wonderful to work with, and as aforementioned, has exceptional expertise in leadership, coaching and motivation. Eric is dedicated, self-motivated, a team player, and very capable of handling any project he is given. He consistently demonstrates a solid work ethic plus a dedication to success. As a team member, leader and mentor, Eric earns my highest recommendation."
