Review from P B (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My brother and I were generally very pleased with the care our mother received during her four-and-a-half years of residence. The staff were caring, friendly and professional, looking after her until the end of her life, and Mother was very happy, which says it all.

We would recommend this care home.

Review from W D (Son of Resident) published on 28 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has been in St Benet’s for just over one year.
She was not recalling coping at home and had a series of minor falls.
Since going to St Benet’s, she is far better both mentally and physically than when living at home.
This is a tribute to the quality of care given to her by all members of staff.

I am happy to recommend the home to others with elderly parents in need of care and have done so.

Review from S J (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Due to mum’s worsening dementia and increasing falls, we (her family) felt she would be much safer living in a care home. She had been with St Benet’s as a temporary resident previously, following a hip replacement, so we knew this care home would suit her needs, and we were so lucky that a room became available there at the right time for us. Mum has been at St Benet’s for 9 months now and she is very content there. She enjoys the food, has a comfortable room and is very well looked after by the lovely carers. There is a large lounge which is bright and sunny, with a good sized dining room, everywhere smells fresh, it is lovely and clean. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and it is very secure, so it is comforting to know Mum is in very good hands.

As a non-resident but sent from the hospital for a short rehab, what is needed is rehab and convalescent hospitals, not care homes. The staff were wonderful, kind, cheerful and so pleasant and nice.

Overall Experience

Mum needs care and has been at St Benet’s Court for just over a year now. I live away and don't get to see her as often as I'd like, but when I do, she always seems happy and well cared for. The family who visit more frequently all seem impressed with what they witness.

Reply from Hayley Holland, Regional Director at St Benet's Court

Thank you for your compliments, We are really proud of the team in the home and the compassion they show to the residents and their families. Its lovely to hear that this is the experience received.

Review from M C (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father, 94, was discharged from the hospital to St Benet's Court (care home) at the beginning of December following a place in a care home being sought due to his worsening dementia and continuing falls. St Benet's kindly agreed to take my father as a resident. When my mum and I went to visit my father for the first time after his move, we had a meeting with and were introduced to other members of staff. Everyone was so caring. They understood that my mum was not capable of caring for my father due to her own mental and physical exhaustion. My father wasn't an easy person to deal with, but his endless care, patience and kindness towards him will never be forgotten. On each of our visits to see my father, everyone we saw was welcoming to us, and nothing was too much trouble. They all stayed in touch with us as to my father's deteriorating health. The staff made sure my father was made comfortable until he passed away on 1 January. Thank you to all at St Benet's.

Review from Ian K (Son of Resident) published on 9 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Dad was discharged from the hospital and went straight to St Benets Court, where he is now a long-term resident. The staff are exceptionally friendly and caring, and the home is clean and well cared for. As his condition is one which means his mobility has deteriorated rapidly, they have had to adjust to his increased needs - this they have done without complaint and always with a smile. The biggest compliment I can pay is that for someone who said he would "never go into a home" - he is happy there.

Review from Jason M (Son of Resident) published on 1 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum has been in St Benet's care home since October 2021, and from the moment Mum arrived, the staff have made her feel welcome and looked after her very well. Every time I go and visit Mum, the staff are cheerful, friendly and make me feel welcome in the home.
They have looked after Mum and given her the support and care that she needs. Any issues that have arisen with Mum and her condition, the home have always rang and kept me up to date with everything that is going on.

This is the first time Mum has had to be in a care home, and I feel comfortable knowing she is in good hands.

Reply from Hayley Holland, Regional Director at St Benet's Court

Thank you, it is our pleasure to support your mum. We are happy that she and her family are happy with the service.

Review from Derek S (Resident / Service User) published on 3 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have an excellent room, I was agreeably staggered by it. I’ve never been in such a large room. The only thing that outdoes it is the building itself and the grounds, it’s a beautiful house.
The staff are extremely friendly.
The house is very clean with no odours.

I had a bad experience in another home so I was nervous about coming here but it has changed my mind completely.

Overall Experience

When I am able to visit, or talk to staff over the phone, I have always received courteous and prompt responses to my queries or comments. The care home looks well run and the staff are always cheerful. When there has been a problem, the staff are quick to respond and also to keep us informed. I am very happy that my mother is being well looked after, and that in these challenging times, they are taking every possible measure to ensure the safety of the residents, so thank you to all at St Benet's.

St Benet’s has provided excellent care, not only for our mother but also for our father before he passed away.

The staff are so kind and considerate which creates a happy place for Mum to be living. They work very hard to care for all her needs whilst respecting her dignity. We could not have found a better place for Mum to be staying and are so grateful for all that St Benet’s do. Thank you.

Review from Hanan P (Niece of Resident) published on 19 May 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When my aunt needed to go into a care home I visited at least five in our area and finally decided on St Benet's. The staff and management were very nice and informative. My aunt's needs are met and all her preferences were taken into consideration. I could not ask for more care and attention. I am always informed of her situation and I could see she is very well looked after when I visit her. The staff also put up with her short temper and try to pacify her. The manager has also been very helpful in providing letters to the various authorities in order to facilitate her change of address and her continued pension.
The activities provided are very enjoyable and I have witnessed my aunt joining in.
I would highly recommend this care home to anyone.

Thank you and keep up the good work.

I love being here, all the staff are so great to me. The food is excellent, they always have something on offer. They’re so good with my dietary requirements due to not being able to eat certain things. I love my room but I love spending my day downstairs. The staff give me brilliant care and we have some good laughs along the way.

Mum sadly passed away having spent 3.5 happy years at St Benet's. Their care and love for her was exceptional. She like all their other residents became part of one big family. They met her individual and changing needs throughout her time there always putting what was in mums best interest first. They also always found time to support us her family. We will be forever grateful to them.

You have restored my faith and changed my attitude towards care homes. Couldn't have asked for better care throughout my mum's stay. Dietary requirements were well catered for. Mum thinks the cook is absolutely fab.

Having my grandmother here, it was the first place we thought of for my mum because the care has always been excellent and it's nice to see that the same male carer is still here and remembered my mum's mum. As her needs have increased, so has the care and nothing is too much trouble.

Overall Experience

I enjoy every minute of being here. I like the home and the people in it, especially the manager. She always has time to accept my wishes to see her and any problems I have personally, she helps me with. The staff are very good, they listen and conduct themselves well. I enjoy my meals, although I don't have a big appetite, they prepare my food especially for me as I cannot chew and swallow properly. When I stayed here, I found the conditions good, and the attention good. The room was clean and fresh and the bed was made up very well.
