The staff of Benbow Unit are brilliantly understanding, caring and sympathetic in the way they look after my mother who presents them with daily challenges! I thoroughly recommend the unit.

My lovely sister was in the care home for about five months, the room was nice and clean, staff was very nice and the food was fine. I recommend the home to anyone who has a relative that needs care.

Activities needs a new fresh look into more activities to cater for their needs. We are still waiting over a year for a new refurbishment, more colour, texture, relaxing for all.

Residents have plenty of activities planned by the well-being coordinators following consultation from Residents and their families, however, we welcome any new suggestions. We are still waiting for the confirmation of the date for refurbishment.
