St Benets Court is a warm and welcoming home where residents can truly settle, belong, and stay as their needs change over time.
Families often worry about their loved one being moved when care needs increase, but St Benets Court specialises in supporting people whose mobility, clarity, or health may not be what it was, or be declining, with one promise in mind: someone’s loved one can stay with them,...

Very satisfied with the level of care. My wife seems quite settled and shows no sign of distress. Very happy.
I have been particularly impressed with the response when my mother has been unwell or needed medical treatment. We have felt fully informed and impressed by the staff's vigilance.
Staff have also been very helpful in supporting me to support my mother in the best way regarding her issues with memory.
Dear Julia, Thank you for your kind review. We always try to treat everyone with dignity, kindness and respect.
If I cannot live in my home, St Benet's Court is the next best place to be. The only problem is laundry day. Attention from managers and day carers are excellent but some carers overnight are 'less caring'.
Thank you for your kind comments and we are pleased that generally you feel everything is excellent. Please rest assured that we will look into any negative comments we receive and let you know the outcomes
The staff have been so kind and caring towards them both. Mum settled very quickly, made friends with staff and residents alike. She loves the company and all the daily activities and she feels safe and at home there. Staff are so caring, patient and respectful. Mum is always clean as is the home. Whenever I have needed to speak to management, the office door is always open, as it is for the residents too.
They always have the time for us. Mum is so much calmer since being there and I believe it is down to the loving, caring environment. I would be quite happy to recommend St Benet's to anyone.
What can I say that isn't anything other than positive about the staff at St Benet's. They are a second family to Mum, patient, kind and know how to jolly her along her when she has a down day. Mum has always taken pride in her appearance and care staff spend time helping her coordinate scarves with jumpers so she always looks smart. Those caring touches make all the difference and don't go unnoticed.
Office staff make time to discuss mum's care even when busy and we never feel we have popped in at an inconvenient time.
Kitchen staff make every effort to cater for her even making bacon sandwiches early in the morning! Residents get along well and mum has a lovely friendship group. There is lots of laughing and joking.
We can't thank them enough for helping mum to find enjoyment in life again.
As a very frequent visitor to this care home over the past 5 years, I have finally decided to write a review. In the last 5 years the standard of care, support, given to the residents is of an impeccable standard, more so in the last 12 months with a new deputy manager that has progressed up through the chain and has thrived to support staff and services users to the maximum. The home is of a high quality, everywhere nicely decorated and the facilities bathrooms. Kitchens. Lounge immaculately clean, from an overview of this care home dedication from all staff, give the home a calm and relaxed atmosphere, time is properly given to each of the resident's needs, with dignity and respect. The lovely manager of this home has so much compassion for the staff and residents she makes this home complete. A massive well done for such a hard dedicated 24hour care provider would recommend massively to anyone that needs that extra special touch for their loved ones.
Thank you all. Continue your good work.
The staff were always polite and very patient with my mother as she was very deaf.
Dad's arrival was very welcoming and stress free. Thanks to the friendly, conscientious staff and efficient management team. Thank You.
