Care Homes Owned by Benridge Care Homes Ltd in Merseyside

Mum has recently moved into Benridge Care Home from another care home and I can honestly say that the care she is receiving is second to none. The staff have really helped mum to settle in, and they also quickly established a relationship with me, which is brilliant as it means I feel confident we can discuss mum's care openly and honestly. The home has a lovely, homely, feel about it, and the staff are wonderful and spend time with mum, getting to know her as a person rather than simply just another resident.

After a 2-week hospital stay, it was clear Mum couldn't live alone in the short term, and the hospital wanted to discharge her to a care home. The first five I visited were dreadful. Thankfully Good Companions was next on my list. Immediately it had a great feel about it, it was warm and cheerful, and they had a nice room available. Mum moved in the next day. Since she's been there, she's brighter, happier, chattier, she's getting all the hydration and warm nutritious food she needs, and the managers are acutely attentive. Making the decision to place Mum in a care home setting was a personal ordeal, and finding such a place has rested my mind. I'm happy that Mum is so well cared for, the food is excellent and is presented beautifully - that effort speaks volumes. I've seen such kindness and patience towards the residents, it is heart-melting, and there are so many daily activities! We are delighted that this care home exists, and its 'Good' accreditation doesn't do it justice.

From first greeting to taking me to see my friend, your kindness and care cannot be improved or bettered, having visited many similar places I can say from experience that there is no better place where people can be cared for, thank you to all the staff who always treat me well, and I go home knowing that my great friend is in safe hands.

My mother is a resident of Benridge Care Home, she is very happy with in the home, she is always clean and well cared for, she has made good friend with one of the residents. Staff are excellent always friendly and welcoming. I would always recommend the home due to its homely atmosphere, the food is fresh and cooked on the premises daily. I have no concerns about the care my mum is receiving, I can call anytime throughout the day, and if I have a question it will always be answered by staff. I highly recommend the home, especially to anyone living with dementia.

My mother suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and has been at Benridge Care Home for nearly a year. The staff have been wonderful with her. She has put on weight and looks much healthier. The senior healthcare assistant and the staff are lovely and they recently moved Mum to a ground-floor room as her mobility isn't great. After caring for Mum for three years, I am now reassured that she has 24-hour care and is happy, safe and well.

Mum's been here since 2014, and during that time, her care has been fantastic. Her needs have been met on every occasion, especially over the last twelve months, as her health has deteriorated. The staff at the home are great - anything Mum needs, the home accommodates. Our family feel that we are always involved in Mum's care and are welcome every time we visit.

My mum was in Good Companions care home in August for two weeks respite. The management were really helpful in getting her in there while we went on holiday. My sisters said my mum was happy, clean, looked well and alert and appeared to be looked after and cared for when they visited her, while I was on away. They immediately contacted the family about any concerns or queries they had about my mum’s well being. Thank you all.

My mother has been resident here for over twelve months, she has settled well and has lots of activities available to her to keep her occupied. Staff care for her exceptionally well and treat her with great respect. They adore her and she them. They handle her needs and demands to a very high standard of care. The Good Companions team are inspirational.

I cannot thank each and every one of the staff enough for all they do to ensure Mum is living the best life she can.

Good Companions was our clear number one choice having visited about half a dozen homes. This was mainly due to the look and feel of the home/room, but mainly due to the obvious care and attention given by the team, led by the amazing care manager. Throughout the entire time, we were in no doubt that Mum was being cared for, both professionally and with genuine love. The entire team became Mum's 'family' during which was a terrible time with lockdown, right up until she passed away. They very quickly learned of Mum's needs, despite her being unable to communicate through speech due to her condition and when she deteriorated, they always made her feel loved and respected. They made the whole ordeal so calming for all involved. It made our family feel so confident that she was being looked after all the time. We will forever be grateful to the care manager and the team for the genuine love and care that they showed Mum and would have no qualms at all about recommending Good Companions to anyone.

My mum is a resident at Good Companions EMI care home, an absolutely wonderful friendly home. The manager is outstanding at her job and goes out of her way for everyone, all the staff are wonderful with my mum she is very happy there. The home is so clean and the food is wonderful couldn’t ask for a better place for mum.

My father has recently been in respite care at Good Companions. I am of the opinion that his stay was most enjoyable. The staff treated him with the utmost respect and dignity and the care was excellent in all aspects. The care manager was very supportive and readily available for any issues. Based on this experience, I would recommend Good Companions as a trusted and caring company. I would have no hesitation in putting my father in their care for any future occasions.

Mum has been cared for at Good Companions for 9 years, the care she has received is exemplary. Having had a terrible experience in the first care home we tried it was a massive relief to get Mum safe and cared for by people who understand dementia. Mum enjoys her food, it’s been excellent! Staff are always caring despite residents sometimes showing challenging behaviour. Activities are varied and frequent, even though Mum is now bedbound she is included when it’s possible. I am very grateful for the care Mum has received and do not hesitate to recommend Good Companions Care Home.

Wonderful staff who deserve appreciation and thanks for the invaluable work they do.

At the end of my sister's life, the home continued to be supportive of the next of kin and I thank them sincerely for their care.

The home was so welcoming for the Christmas period. It was decorated beautifully! I was able to FaceTime and see the wonderful meal that was prepared too. Benridge Care Group has navigated COVID brilliantly and kept our loved ones safe from harm. All I can say is - thank you all. God bless.
