St Benet's Court

Mum came to stay at St Benets following a long period of hospital treatment. It was no longer safe for her to live at home. From the outset Mum was treated with dignity and respect and as one of the 'family'. Mum had vascular dementia and many other chronic health conditions. She was given an 'MOT' by her new GP including her meds. Health conditions and weight were monitored and I was kept up to date with her care plan.Visiting hairdresser and podiatrist were immediately booked. The home cooked meals from scratch were a great improvement for Mum who was kept well supplied with coffee and home made cake too. Mum was not too keen on joining in, she was encouraged to do so but on her own terms. Going out in the garden, fresh air, the birds were lovely. The inclusion of the private FB group was fantastic as we live far away. I can't speak highly enough of the staff at St Benets, nothing was too much trouble. The care and kindness shown to Mum and to us has been exemplary. Thanks x

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.

We are kept up to date with any changes and information to the care plan, and are welcome to visit at any time.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks to the manager and all the staff for the care and peace of mind they have given us.

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 St Benet's.

I couldn't have wished for a nicer place for Mum to end her days.

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.

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.

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.
