Bennett Lodge

My mother really loves living at Bennett Lodge. Since her arrival in September 2023, she has been much happier and content and enjoys the interaction with staff and residents. She participates in the majority of activities provided daily and this has much improved her engagement with people and life in general. The staff are very helpful, friendly, hardworking and patient. The home is always clean, tidy, warm and comfortable. I highly recommend it, it's exceeded my family's expectations.

Having visited my mother-in-law for the first time in her new care home, I knew we had made the right decision for her. The accommodation and staff are excellent with a feeling of staying at a five-star hotel but the staff make it feel like it's your family home.

All of the residents seem content and we are all happy with the level of care my mother is receiving.

In November 2018 my step mum became a resident of Bennett Lodge, she soon settled in and was able to walk about freely with security codes on exits to ensure safety. Staff built up a rapport with her and she knew how to placate her when she said she'd misplaced her car! The staff were very caring. The home was clean and nice and fresh. She was content and very well cared for. She had loving care all the way through.

Very friendly and helpful staff, always observant of residents' needs.

Bennett Lodge is a lovely and friendly care home. The staff are very kind and hands-on. I have peace of mind that Mum is well looked after and her needs are met.

Having experienced three previous visits to Bennett Lodge, I am happy to return again. Each time I was welcomed with open arms by management and staff. I found my room although rather small quite adequate. I am on a special diet again and was obliged. I will be pleased to see management and staff once again should I be able to return.

I stayed at Bennett Lodge for respite whilst waiting for my flat. It was good living here, I made friends who I will still be visiting. The staff are very good, they do a great job and I will keep in touch and visit everyone. The home is very clean.

After talking to my husband when he came home, he said he was comfortable in there and staff were very good and felt safe. He didn't do any activities as he does not like it. He was pleased to come home calm and not stressed.

Dad first stayed here in September 2022 for a 4-week assignment and even then you could feel the love and care the staff provided, he then was able to stay there permanently. My dad loved it and couldn't praise the staff enough. Also, my siblings and I couldn't ask for more for our dad, he was well cared for. All the staff,(particularly the deputy manager), treated him, like a person and not just a number, they also made us part of it all. The home and rooms are all bright and breezy and clean and tidy. Right to his passing last week, they were there for him. Highly recommend this home-from-home.

We as a family are happy because Mum is happy.

My dad loves living here. He thinks the staff are wonderful. On our visits to him, it's obvious to us that the staff really care. Very clean and comfortable room.

The staff and carers treated my parents with kindness, respect and dignity. It is a friendly, supportive home with regular activities for the residents, including those restricted to bed. I knew the minute I walked in the door that it was the place for Mum and Dad, having visited other care homes.

We as a family couldn't be happier that mum is in Bennett Lodge. Since being there she has got her zest for life back again. All her needs are more than met. The home really knows what mum likes to teat and mum doesn't have to tell the kitchen staff what she wants for her dinner they already know. As soon as you walk into the home you can sense how happy it is and all the staff are extremely good to the residents and visitors. We are so lucky that mum is there.

Cannot recommend enough.

I have nothing but praise for the staff and for the care home during the difficult time we have had in making the decision that Mum needed to go into residential care. The support and guidance from the staff have been first class while Mum has been settling in. Mum is treated with dignity and respect, both of which are key elements that we value going forward. Being able to have some of her own furniture and belongings has added to the feeling of making it her home and we are grateful for that. Food, facilities and cleanliness are all first class and we know that Mum is being cared for the way we want her to be.

Amazing staff and myself and my family cannot thank them enough.

The home had arranged for my first indoor visit (in Mum's room) since March 2020.

We had an hour together which felt very precious after all the restrictions.

As usual, all the staff I saw that day were polite, helpful and friendly. The care my Mum receives from them is exemplary and they have my heartfelt thanks for everything they do.

Mum seemed happy in the home. Happy with the staff and everything.

Regular updates, videos etc have really helped in these difficult times. I cannot thank them enough.
