I recently visited mum who has been a resident of St Benets for a number of years now. She was sat in the living room in her usual chair enjoying a cup of tea and a chocolate cake. Mum is pretty much unable to speak these days but the staff, who are always welcoming and helpful, were able to fill me in on mums current condition, mood etc etc. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating whenever I visit and I always come away feeling that they are all taking very good care of mum.

My Mother goes to St Benet's Court for Respite Care during the day once a week. The staff are all unfailing kind and patient. She loves going. The lunch and cake are excellent! I have never heard even the slightest hint of impatience or irritation from any staff member. They are all consistently calm, warm and professional in their interactions with the residents. My Mother is looking forward to going for 3 weeks residential Respite Care in September 2026. The physical environment is pleasant. Regular attention is paid to keeping the environment nice for the residents.
Michelle is an exceptional manager. She is kind, enthusiastic and leads by example.

My dear sister passed away at St Benet's on 11 May. It was all very peaceful. She enjoyed her lunch and then was sitting in the lounge having her usual nap but this time she didn't wake up again. She had been suffering from Alzheimer's for just over six years, her last year at St Benet's. I could not fault the care she had at the home. The staff are all very kind and caring, and I knew my sister was being well looked after. . Her passing was dealt with in a very dignified way and I would like to thank Michelle, the manager, for her kindness to me at this sad time.

Our relative sadly died a month ago at St Benets. During her brief stay(5-6 weeks) she received outstanding care by caring competent staff who on all occasions went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our relative and ourselves got the best of care and support. Sadly Frances passed away in my presence but we were comforted by the fact she had been given loving outstanding care in her final weeks of life. We witnessed this on a daily basis. As this was not our first experience of Frances and nursing homes I can say with authority St Benets is the best care Frances and we received. Good leadership, effective communication, personal care, residents at the centre of care. All in all outstanding care home. Well done Michelle, Lisa and staff.

My uncle was in St Benets for the last 6 months of his life. During that time I saw a great change in my uncle. All of his life he had been a loner. But the staff at St Benets encouraged him to join in activities and be part of what was on offer. He started to enjoy music activities he enjoyed painting. He enjoyed bingo I even saw him dancing with staff. It was great to see. At the end of his life when he was on palative care they watched him constantly The staff were all so caring They showed him love he knew they cared And so did I. Thank you to all the staff
You are a great set of caring people.

My brother has been in the care of St. Benet's for over 18 months and the care is second to none. The staff are all very professional, efficient and caring. Both the manager and deputy manager are very hands on and very much part of their team. The home is clean, tidy and bright, and is always a cheerful place. My brother often remarks how good the food is. The chef makes amazing cakes and the home makes a big thing of celebrating resident's birthdays, Christmas, Easter and Halloween. They also have a summer garden party. There are many activities which keeps resident's focused and entertained. These include bingo, flower arranging, drawing and painting and music, to name a few. They have a good knowledge of dementia and all residents are encouraged to join in the activities.
I cannot recommend St. Benet's enough, and feel very happy that my brother is in such a wonderful home.

My cousin's sister and I were anxious about the impact a move of care home might have upon my cousin who has advanced dementia. She was in the same more expensive care home previously for 5 years. We need not have worried. Her new room is beautiful. The transfer was managed gently and kindly by patient staff who treated her then and now with the utmost respect. Rapidly we noticed significant positive changes in her. Previously an unresponsive woman, flat in mood and seemingly void of any understanding of her environment, she blossomed. At the previous establishment her time was spent either isolated in her bedroom or left slumped over a dining table after a meal.
At St Benets she leaves her room to spend much of her day in the lovely large day-lounge. It has a quiet area as well as a more lively activities area. She smiles, says a few happy words to staff and engages with things going on as much as is possible, given her advanced condition. We are thrilled.

Our mum received excellent personalised care over 18 month period , despite the challenges she presented with behaviour relating to Alzheimer's Disease . She was afforded privacy and treated with dignity, including at the end of her life. Nursing care was responsive when her needs changed suddenly and communication was good, especially when she started to deteriorate. Thank you St Benets.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's clear that your mum received compassionate and personalised care throughout her time at St Benets. The way the staff supported her dignity, privacy, and changing needs, especially at the end of her life, is truly commendable. Your words highlight the professionalism, compassion, and dedication of everyone at the home

My mum moved to St Benets in August of this year when she could no longer be safe at home my mum is recovering from a hip fracture and she has mixed dementia, I would just like to say on behalf of myself my brother and the entire family how pleased we are that we moved her to this care home she has been shown great respect and dignity and nothing seems to be too much trouble for the carers that work there. Mum now seems to have settled in nicely, we are relived that she is now safe and content with her surroundings, thanks again to Michelle, Lisa and the entire team for all you do.

Our mother moved to St Benet's from another care home locally as we believed that she would benefit from a smaller, more hands on approach to care. She is not one for joining in with activities but is happy to observe at least and we were keen for her not to withdraw and be ignored. St Benet's staff are all, without question, the most attentive and caring staff we have encountered. The enthusiasm for their roles is clearly delivered from the top, with superb leadership. There is always someone on hand to talk to and get updates from with regards to how our mother is doing and being far away, this is incredibly important to us. In a very sad and complicated situation, we are incredibly grateful for the care and support of the home in making our mother's end of life care as comfortable as it could be. Thank you
