Stratford Bentley

We really couldn't have been luckier in finding this caring home for Mum and it is such a comfort that her last few months could hardly have been better.

Mum moved into the Bentley in December 2024, quite frail, and knowing that she was approaching the end of her life. Under the diligent care of the staff she began eating again, her energy level improved, and most importantly, her spark returned. We were able to enjoy a glorious few months with our Mum back.

She loved virtually all of the staff as her new extended family, and felt genuinely loved back.

As she approached the end and grew nervous, the staff were superb at allaying her distress and assuring her that all would be well. They then managed her and us through the final stages with perfect care and consummate professionalism.

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at The Bentley from the management and administration to the nurses and carers to the support staff in the kitchen and the cleaners. I have experienced care homes owned by big corporate companies - this could not have been more different. It always felt personal, and someone was always on hand.

10/10!

The Stratford Bentley has a nice welcoming feel when you walk in. It doesn't smell and is always bright and clean with fresh flowers and often cakes in reception. It is an older-style building but is kept clean and has a nice family feel to it. Families are welcome to visit at any time and nothing feels like too much trouble.

I would recommend this nursing home very highly. Very caring staff and calm atmosphere. This is a small nursing home where residents are treated as individuals.

My husband has vascular dementia. The nurses and carers have created a happy and cheerful relationship with him. They are also kind and welcoming to me and to his other visitors. Regular meetings are held with the resident's relatives to give them the opportunity to raise any concerns or suggest any changes. I very much appreciate the fact that although there are the inevitable staff changes, these are relatively infrequent. He is very well and professionally cared for.

Am happy with the care my mother is given, which gives me peace of mind that she is safe and well looked after. Staff are friendly and do a good job.

Although none of us lived locally we all enjoyed our visits and joining Mum in the range of activities that she was able to join.

My dad loved being in the Bentley. The staff were always so friendly and supportive. I couldn't have wished for more for dad. I know the last year of his life was one of the best.

My wife arrived at the Bentley care home in May 2019 following a stroke. She is unable to speak or talk and has other disabilities. Throughout her time at the Bentley, she has been unfailingly cared for in a totally professional manner by all members of staff. The environment is loving and caring led by a dedicated and experienced manager who has the full backing of her staff. A qualified nurse is in attendance throughout the day and night. I would highly recommend this establishment.

Her health has improved greatly since being at the Bentley.

As a family, we really appreciate how professional, hard-working and friendly everyone is at the Stratford Bentley.

Mum has been cared for at Stratford Bentley for several years and in spite of her very limited mental and physical capacity, I feel that she has always been well looked after and is settled and as happy as she can be. I like the personal, family feeling which you don't get in larger care homes, and I feel confident that Mum is getting the best possible care.

Although our mum wasn't at Stratford Bentley for very long she was given the very best of care and above all kindness from every one of the staff. Our family were also given the utmost good care and were always welcome whatever time of day. We would recommend the Bentley nursing home to anyone seeking care without any hesitation.

Cannot recommend enough.

My mother was a resident in Stratford Bentley for over two years, prior to her death in February 2024. Throughout her time at the home, she was treated with the utmost respect and care as were myself and my siblings. My mother was very happy to be in such a caring environment and in the last few weeks of end-of-life care we were kept fully informed and allowed to be with our mom daily. I can only say that Stratford Bentley is an excellent and outstanding care facility.

This gives us peace of mind.

An excellent nursing home.

The care and attention provided for my wife, who is totally immobile, during the last four years have been outstanding. All the staff have been friendly and completely efficient, responding rapidly to her needs. They have also been completely supportive of me in what has been a very difficult period. I have no hesitation in recommending the home to those in need and have done so frequently.

My first impression was that every member of staff was friendly and spent time with us. My room was large, warm and comfortable. The menu is varied with choice and is maintained at a high standard. All staff were professional, caring and attentive. In my opinion, the standard of care is higher than any other home I have seen.
