I have only visited St Benet's a couple of times so far, but as soon as I was greeted at door by the manager and taken through to the lounge to see my friend, I knew this Residential Home was a good one compared to several I have had to visit when supporting a Resident. The Staff were respectful to the Residents and spent time talking and explaining things to them. I was offered drinks and when I requested a wheelchair to be able to take my friend outside into the garden, the Staff got one straightaway for me. One of the staff requested more information from me about my friend, so they could understand and get to know my friend much better. So far, I cannot fault St Benet's Residential Home. Thank you for being so caring.
The manager and all the staff have been kind and caring towards my mother-in-law and us as a family, even in the most difficult times - catering for her individual requirements and happiness.
We are kept up to date with any changes and information to the care plan, and are welcome to visit at any time.
As her daughter, I felt immense pressure to find her somewhere she would be happy.
Mum and I arrived at St Benet's and were met with smiles and warmth from the staff which was very reassuring. The manager went through the induction and introduced us to other members of staff taking time to ask detailed questions on every topic of mum's needs and likes/dislikes of her daily routine.
Fast forward 2 months and mum regularly tells me that she is very happy at St Benet's and doesn't want to leave, ever, even when I offered to look for a new home elsewhere.
The manager and every single one of her staff work tirelessly to ensure that all residents are cared for, requests for assistance are met immediately and the atmosphere is relaxed, warm and welcoming, whatever time of day. She's made friends and that gives me peace of mind.
The staff has looked after her and cared for her brilliantly. We can see such an improvement in her health and wellbeing in such a short time of being there. The home is very welcoming staff is always there and happy to help. We couldn't have wished for a better outcome in her care.
Keep up the good work St Benet's court you are doing great.
The level of care at St Benet's Court is excellent. The staff went above and beyond and treated my nan with such care and patience. Unfortunately she didn't get to enjoy all of the facilities for long as she became very poorly but nothing was too much trouble whilst she was there. In her last days, the staff were incredible. They treated my nan with such dignity and really cared for us as a family. I am so thankful that my nan was able to be somewhere as wonderful as St Benet's in her final days and I can't thank them enough for everything they did for us.
My grandmother moved to St Benet's Court after living at home became impossible for her. We were initially worried how she would settle owing to her dementia, but we needn't have been concerned. The staff are very caring, hard-working and go above and beyond, the food is great and there are always activities to keep the residents stimulated and entertained. We have the peace of mind that our grandmother is safe, well-looked after and happy.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that your grandmother has settled well at St Benet's Court and that our caring and dedicated team has helped ease your worries. Knowing that she feels safe, well looked after and happy is exactly what we strive for. It's wonderful to...
It's hard enough dealing with the anxiety of an ill relative, let alone trying to find a suitable care home. St Benet's Court made this very simple and were very accommodating. The staff are very pleasant and engaging, all the things I was worrying about I needn't have. Dad settled in and was safe and happy.
Thank you for your kind review. We understand how difficult it can be to find the right care home for a loved one and we're so glad to hear that St Benet's Court made the process easier for you. It's wonderful to know that your dad has settled in well and feels safe and happy here. Your kind words...
The facilities are excellent and our Mum was very happy and all our family members were always made very welcome when visiting.
Thanks to the manager and all the staff for the care and peace of mind they have given us.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear that your mum was happy and felt part of our family here. Creating a welcoming and caring environment for residents and their loved ones is so important to us and we're glad it gave you peace of mind.Your kind words mean a lot to the...
Mum was given the best care by all. There were several management changes and when the current manager arrived the care and communication increased even more.
Unfortunately Mum died in February 2024 but right up to the end her care was amazing and I always felt nothing was too much bother.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt review. We are deeply sorry for your loss and honored that we could care for your mum during her time at St Benet's. We understand how challenging it must have been during the Covid lockdown and we're glad that our team was able to provide regular updates and...

I couldn't have wished for a nicer place for Mum to end her days.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review. We are deeply sorry for your loss but honoured to have been a part of your mum's journey and to have provided care and support during her time with us. It means so much to hear that you felt our team was kind, patient and caring and that the...
My mother has received excellent care in her time at St Benet's. You always feel you are part of a cheerful and supportive community when you visit. Mum's room is lovely, the facilities are clean and inviting with lots of activities going on, and the food is good. The care staff and management are genuinely engaged with the residents, both caring and professional. Nothing is too much trouble. I have especially appreciated the excellent communication and support with Mum's increasing care needs. We feel fortunate to have found St Benets.
The staff are always so helpful and happy, they keep us informed on how mum is doing on a very regular basis. the home is always clean and the decor is nicely refreshed which is a big plus for us, that along with the care they give Mum we are very happy with St Benet's.
St Benet's Court is an exceptional care home with a level of care for its residents that go above and beyond. My grandmother is living with dementia and I was concerned about what would happen to her, but she's being taken care of well and I am comfortable knowing that St Benet's has her best interests at heart.
My mum has been at St Benet's for nearly 3 years now after being diagnosed with dementia and I have always found the staff very attentive and helpful with any queries I have... it is always clean and tidy and I'm always in her room with her and that is the same. I am very happy we got her in there and she is happy and always clean and tidy and very well-fed and looked after.
Generally, my mum seems happy and well cared for by the extremely hard-working staff. I would of given 5 stars, but at times when I take Mum out, her appearance could be a lot better. She has come out with odd shoes on and sometimes not dressed for the appropriate season.
This is a fantastic home, staff are super friendly, communication from management is excellent. It’s really good to see what residents are up to via the social media group, Mum loves the activities and the food she is always happy to return and speaks fondly of her time at St Benet's.
I received nothing but the best service and communication from this care home during this period and on the occasions of visiting my aunty the surroundings seemed very nice and clean. I did not have the opportunity to visit her room, so I cannot comment on this. The home is located in a lovely quite area.
The monthly charge was extremely reasonable and not expensive compared with charges my friends are paying for their relatives.
The staff were lovely and it’s obvious that they really care. They go above and beyond their job role. It was always clean and tidy. The food looked great and there was plenty of choice. I would highly recommend this place for the lasting care of a relative.
My father went into St Benet's Court for respite care after a short spell in hospital following a fall. I found the staff to be extremely helpful to both residents and relatives/visitors. Resident's meals looked very good in terms of variety and nutrition. It was very important to me that I could bring my dog in to see my father as he missed her a lot. I would recommend this care home.
