St Benedicts Ferndale House

My father was placed into St Benedicts from May 2025 to his passing in August 2025. He was moved from a care home after his care needs increased. Suffering from Vascular Dementia, Alzheimer's and Heart Failure, the staff were able to quickly build up a rapport with my father despite him rapidly losing his communicative skills. They treated him with empathy and care, witn particular members of staff building a close one to one rapport with him. The home contacted me quickly each time he faced a health issue or had a fall, and their attentive close care in his final week far exceeded the direct one to one care he would have had in a hospital. The home is spotlessly clean, with staff visible and on hand in each room closely observing and assisting the patients based on their particular needs. Working with me, they quickly took control of his medicinal needs, working with the home's assigned GP. I would not hesitate to recommend the home to any family looking to place a loved one.

My stepfather was in the care of St Benedicts until he passed away at the start of September. As a family, we cannot speak highly enough of the care and compassion shown to him during his time there. The staff were always professional and courteous and clearly knew him very well. His care was tailored to his needs, and every effort was made to keep him happy and stimulated. Throughout the difficult COVID period, we were kept updated and able to make contact via video messages, visiting was facilitated as soon as it was safe, and every precaution was taken to keep everyone as safe as possible. We would not hesitate to recommend St Benedicts for the high-level quality care of someone with dementia.
