Benchmark is owned and independently operated by Richmond native Whitney Crawley, LPTA. Whitney has specialized in geriatric care in a variety of settings including hospital, continuing care communities, skilled rehabilitation, independent living, assisted living, memory care, long term care, and group home settings for greater than 15 years. Whitney has practiced as both a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant and Director of Rehabilitation in the Richmond area, with medical expertise in geriatric care, dementia care, and orthopedic care. Whitney understands each community’s philosophies, advantages, and disadvantages. Her strong clinical background has proved to be fundamental in every situation she encounters with families and within communities.
To Whitney, advocating for seniors and guiding families to solutions that make sense for their unique situation is a life passion. “I knew, while in clinicals, that the senior population was my calling. I want to take care of the group of people that have given younger generations so much – wisdom, knowledge, work ethic and love. It’s my turn to give back.”
Whitney obtained her Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration from Old Dominion University and an Associate in Applied Science. She is Licensed by the Virginia Board of Medicine and certified by the National Board of Certification of Physical Therapy as a Physical Therapist Assistant, and is a recognized Certified Dementia Practitioner.
In Whitney’s free time she enjoys camping with her husband and three children, being outdoors planting a vegetable garden, and raising a variety of chickens!
