Overall Experience

After a turbulent time, a new year experience for us, this care home gave my dad everything he needs. He’s kept clean, dignified and given the food he loves. The staff cannot do enough for us and give everyone the personal touch they deserve. Very well managed and a care home that not only cares but

understands medication and the best needs of the residents. I remain very happy!

Overall Experience

Our dad receives the best possible care at Bennfield House. All staff, regardless of their titles, are welcoming, helpful and kind. The most important thing for myself and my sister is that the staff truly care about each and every individual. There is a genuine feeling of warmth and love towards all

the residents. The way staff deal with the challenges faced is second to none. We feel confident and our minds have been put at ease that our dad is in such a special place.

Review from Daryl B (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My father has been a resident of Bennfield House for the last eighteen months. He has never been treated as anything other than a member of the wonderful family that lives and works at Bennfield. The staff all treat him like their grandad and he loves them as they love him. Visitors are treated like

family too, it’s such a wonderful environment. You know when you leave your loved one at the end of a visit that you are leaving them in safe, caring hands. Every member of staff, no matter what their role, takes the time to get to know the residents. I think this helps to give the residents a real feeling of safety and well-being.
Everything that the residents could possibly need is there and their comfort is the priority. They are treated with utmost care, respect and the ability to maintain their dignity. I would recommend Bennfield House and its wonderful staff to anyone.

Review from Christine W (Niece of Resident) published on 19 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Bennfield House was not offered to my aunt when it was first decided that she required 24-hour care in a care establishment. However, after a year in care, she was reassessed and was then deemed to need nursing care. Bennfield House has opened our family's eyes to how my aunt should have been treated

with love, respect and as a person not a number. Since being transferred there, her general health and well-being have greatly improved and she is now happy to live within care surroundings.
The whole team are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. I am kept informed of any developments, decisions in my aunt's care. Such a lovely home. Thank you everyone.

Overall Experience

The entire team of care staff which ranges from the care home manager to the nurses, carers, kitchen staff, cleaners, the handy man and admin staff are all brilliant towards caring for my dad. They all provide an excellent standard of care and are all willing to go the extra mile in order to make a

positive difference for all the residents. I can't thank them enough for the quality of care they have given my dad.

Review from Clare W (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

During the time that my dad has lived in Bennfield House, I have always found the standards of care and hygiene to be extremely high, particularly when measured against the four previous homes my father had been in.
The staff are warm, kind and regularly receive training which I have witnessed, sufficient

staff are always on duty allowing them time to spend with clients such as my father. They go above and beyond for their residents, for example, my father was always anxious about not working and not having money in his hand and to calm him he “worked” in the dining room and received copied money. This went a long way to improve his level of happiness.
I am always informed of any issues or problems promptly as I am of the many events they organise.
It is clear that these exacting standards are lead and implemented from the top.
