Review from Janette B (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot find enough words to express how wonderful all the staff at Benton House are. They gave alot of care and compassion to my dad throughout the whole of his 2-year stay. They kept me updated on everything and even made me feel so very welcome whenever I visited, particularly in the last few days
of Dad's passing. One member of staff, in particular, rang me regularly whenever needed, and the nurses and my dad were loved by all there. Thank you so so much for taking my dad under your wing. I feel blessed that my dad was placed there, and in my opinion, there is no better care home than Benton. I fully recommend this care home.
Thank you, Benton, from the bottom of my heart!
Reply from Catherine Berry, Registered Home Manager at Benton HouseThank you for your review, it was a pleasure to care for your dad and yourself during his time at Benton House. The staff thank you for your kind words and we appreciate the time taken to acknowledge their work during this difficult time for you.

Review from Lynda M (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 October 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been a resident for over three years at Benton House, he is well looked after by the wonderful staff. They always contact me when dad has falls or any other issues. I am now at a stage where my mum is in need of 24-hour care and when phoning Benton House and speaking to the manager, this
has helped make this hard decision an easy one has Benton House is the place for my mum. The manager was so kind and understanding and reassuring that I wouldn't want my mum to be anywhere else. The Benton House manager and staff are excellent support not only to my dad and hopefully soon to be my mum but to the family as well. Over the past few years, we have cried and laughed together which has helped us through. Thank you Benton House. I would highly recommend Benton House to anyone looking for a care home.

Would not recommend this care to anyone. Very bad. No equipment used. Dietary needs not met. Had to ask for ambulance assistance myself. Never seen anything like this in my life. Please don't place loved ones here.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
This care home provides a lack of care and a lack of appropriate equipment to their residents.
I placed my grandmother in respite for 1 week, on the day she was due to come home she passed away. The manager had previously advised she was fine, yet failed to report a number of issues including a fall.
They state they are a specialist Alzheimers home yet treat them with a lack of care or understanding for the disease. They also lost most of her property and have no sympathy for their actions at all. Do not put your loved one in this accommodation.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident at Benton House from November 2016 till her passing in December 2017. The care she received was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble for the staff who treated her with respect and loving care, making her feel loved. The staff were always friendly and chatty to my self and other
family members, making us all feel that we made the right decision leaving the most important lady in our lives in their care, I cannot fault this home at all and I would highly recommend anyone who has the hard decision of finding a care home for a loved one, to have a look here. My mum was always singing and always happy.

My husband has Parkinson's disease and dementia. I do feel that Benton House is the best place for him to be since I could no longer manage to meet his needs at home. It is clean and comfortable. The residents are well fed and looked after and the staff are very kind and patient with them. My husband
seems fairly settled and I visit most days and am always made welcome by the staff.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.580)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.580) out of 10 for Benton House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.889 for Benton House is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.889
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.691 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Benton House is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.441
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
