My husband always looks well looked after. He is always clean and shaved and is wearing clean clothes. His room is clean and looks cheerful with family things added. Although he can only have pureed food, the food I have seen always looks appetising.

The managers, care staff, kitchen, etc. All work to a very high standard. My husband always looks clean and cared for. The most impressive thing is that many of the staff have been on Benbow for several years, hence the continuity of the excellent care.

My dad was very well looked after. Even though I know how hard he could be to even do the simple things he carer built up a great relationship with him that he would listen and do the staff that he should do. Everyone showed care and passion with dad's care. We are very grateful.

The staff are so lovely and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. They rely any information to me very quickly, either when we visit or by phone. Overall, we have no complaints, only praise for their hard work and care. Thank you.
Everything is good, sometimes getting Dad to the toilet can be delayed, but apart from that, all good.
