My mum has been a resident here for nearly 2 years. In that time she has received the best care and treatment it's possible to have. Whenever my mum is not well, the staff pick it up quickly and a doctor is called. The nurses and everyone on Benbow House are working so hard during this awful pandemic but still provide 5-star care.
I feel like I am being looked after and I am happy here.

Mum is reaching the final days of her life. The staff are doing everything possible to ensure her continued care. The staff treat her with dignity and respect. I must mention two staff members who are providing a continuity of care for my mum and for me. I feel that they go above and beyond to ensure final days are pain-free, comfortable and peaceful. We can ask for no more.
We had a wonderful visit. The staff are outstanding in their care for my god-mother.

He was in Mountbatten Community where he absolutely loved being during his short stay. He was constantly telling everyone how much he liked it there, how kind all the staff were to him. In this respect he meant this compliment to be for everyone involved in his care, from, kitchen staff, wellbeing staff, housekeeping staff, carers and nurses as well as the management team who had made it possible for him to come to live there.
Prior to being in the Mountbatten Community he was living on his own and had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's and was struggling to manage his basic needs even though the family he had in Chelmsford tried their best to help in whatever way they could. The COVID lockdown made it very difficult and it certainly had a profound effect on him.
My mum came to Admirals Reach in June from hospital, she lives in Benbow House, so far I have been impressed with the care my mum receives, we are kept informed of any changes in Mum's health and wellbeing at all times.

My mum came to Admirals Reach in June from hospital, she lives in Benbow House, so far I have been impressed with the care my mum receives, we are kept informed of any changes in Mum's health and wellbeing at all times. Mum seems relaxed, the hardest thing has been not being able to visit and help with Mum's care cos of lockdown, but the staff do their best. We are very happy with the service so far and would recommend Benbow House at Admirals Reach Care Home and the friendly staff.
