Benarty View Care Home

Overall my grans health and mental well being since moving into Benarty view has greatly improved , we know she is in safe hands.

Our dad has been at Benarty View for a month now and we are very pleased as a family on how he is getting on and the care he is receiving. He is enjoying the meals and likes the vibrant and sociable atmosphere. The process of dad moving in to the home from hospital was seem-less and not stressful at all partly due to the management team and the nursing staff at the home. Any time I visit dad the staff are welcoming, patient and friendly and take time with any questions or concerns you may have and are happy to chat and nothing is ever a problem. It is very reassuring to know he is in good hands.

When my mother went into Benarty View, she was underweight and withdrawn. Her general health was poor and mobility was very limited. Since then, mum has returned to good health and very much enjoys living in Benarty View. There are loads of activities, which she enjoys. The food is lovely- the staff are very professional and caring - nursing staff have brought our mother back to us, as she feels safe, loved and cared for. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home for your loved ones. Karen, the manager in the home is very approachable and knows each and every one of the residents and cares deeply for their welfare and that of their families. My mother has just thrived in this place and they deserve full credit for this

I hope my step dad has many years to come living here and enjoying life.

Thank you to the staff at Benarty View for everything that you do.

We recently moved mum into Benarty View Care Home after she had a fall at home and we felt she had become unsafe to live at home. The Management Team made our decision easy as we felt confident that my mum was going to be in good hands. The transition for my mum from hospital to the care home was made easy and they had mum settled in with a nice cup,of tea. The home is spotlessly clean and has activities going on every day and the staff are encouraging mum to take part in these. It is so reassuring to see mum sitting at a dining table eating home made food with other residents. All staff in the home treat the residents with care, kindness and dignity and go above and beyond to make sure all residents are happy and their needs are met. The Management Team which are wonderful are always on hand if we have any concerns and nothing is too much trouble for them. I am confident my mum is well cared for and I feel happy that I know she is safe so thank you Karen and all your staff.

The activities programme was very good, there was something planned for every morning and afternoon.

Thank-you so much for all you did to help Mum. You (Karen) and your staff were a fantastic support and help.

Sadly, my friend died before she was able to enjoy the full facilities of Benarty View. The staff were exemplary in every way, they showed gentleness, respect, and compassion to my very unwell friend and kindness in abundance to everyone around them. When my time comes I hope I am as fortunate as she was - thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for her.

My father has had a few difficulties recently with his health. Management and staff have worked tirelessly to resolve this despite encountering obstacles. Therefore, I have confidence they have my father's best interest at heart.

More than happy with my dad's care. The staff are very helpful and attend to my dad's needs at all times of day and night. Management always available to answer any questions or quieries we may have. The care home is spotlessly clean well maintained. Care staff always on hand to assist. All round very happy with all aspects of dad's care.

In difficult circumstances in December 2024, I had to find a care home for my father who had Alzheimer's and we could no longer manage at home. Whilst trying to get assistance from Social Services, I took the chance to phone Benarty View direct. We will be eternally grateful for the compassionate assessment of our situation and they assistance we were given; Dad moved into Benarty View that evening. I can't speak highly enough of the care Dad received in his 6 months at Benarty View. From the Home Manager right through to the domestic staff, Dad, my mother and I have been shown nothing but kindness. The care staff were genuinely interested in Dad and so incredibly attentive. From day trips and activities at the start, through to finally managing end of life care, Dad was so well looked after in clean, well organised surroundings. No hesitation in recommending and I genuinely miss seeing the residents and staff following Dad's passing.

I decided to move my mother from another care home to Benarty View in April 2025, and I'm so glad I did.

The Care Home Manager, Administration Team, Cooking, Nursing, and Care Staff have been nothing short of outstanding! Their approach is consistent and empathic, resulting in a vast improvement in my mother's health and sense of wellbeing. The team have helped mum get around her anxiety troubles and socialise well. They've also supported her with day trips and provided essential post-operative care following and emergency hip replacement.

My mother doesn't give out compliments easily however, she always tells me 'everyone' is being so kind and helpful which is reassuring. She always enjoys her meals and food choices too.

The care home rooms are traditional compared with new purpose built facilities, but the this is less important than the care provided. I would highly recommend.

Mum took a good few weeks to settle in but with the help and care of the staff she is settled and happy.

Although Dad only had a week at Benarty View Care Home before he sadly passed, he was surrounded by genuine care, compassion and love during his days there. I witnessed at first hand the excellent care he received and know that his final days were calm, peaceful and comfort filled as a result. Nothing was too much trouble for the team at Benarty either for Dad or us, his family. The entire team worked closely and seamlessly together to make Dad's experience outstanding. Sadly he wasn't there long enough to become fully part of the community that very clearly exists at Benarty. I cannot fault anything about our or Dad's experience and will be eternally grateful for their care of Dad as he passed. Thank you.

Excellent care home, brilliant all round. 10. out of 10. There is nothing more to say. ok, I think this is easily the best nursing/care home in this area. This care home has two of the best manageresses in this business. The staff are top-notch in all of their duties. I have every confidence in the Management team.

My wife moved into Lomond Dementia Unit at Benarty View Kelty on the 17th of November 2023 and was a resident there until my wife very suddenly passed away on the 8th of January 2024. In the short time that my wife spent in Benarty Veiw, I have to say that my wife was treated with dignity, respect, kindness, compassion, and a level of care and professionalism from all the staff which was truly exceptional and I cannot thank them enough for all that they did for my wife during her stay at Benarty Veiw. All staff involved in my wife’s care are a true credit to Benarty View and indeed Four Seasons Care.

My father was challenging because of his Alzheimer's combined with a strong personality, he found the transition of going into nursing care extremely difficult.

The staff made every effort to get to know dad and what his needs were. Despite his reluctance to join in activities, the staff were good at encouraging him but it soon became evident that dad's safe place was his own room. The staff were happy to spend time with dad in his room and nothing was too much trouble.

When he became very ill and was coming to the end of his life the nursing care was exemplary and the kindness from all healthcare professionals towards him and the family was excellent. Their work ethic as carers and the empathy shown was nothing but the best. The managers take great pride in the home they run and the quality of care that everyone provides. There is a strong family feel to the whole environment.

Whilst my aunt has only been in Benarty View for three weeks, I can see such a difference in her physical appearance and her demeanour. Prior to being transferred to the home, she was in a hospital side room and I felt that her health was going downhill rapidly however, since she has been transferred to Benarty View, she has come on leaps and bounds and is looking and feeling far better than she has done for some time. This of course could be down to the homemade food which looks delicious. The manager and team have all been amazing and nothing is too much trouble. I feel that she's very well cared for in the home, she's safe, happy and content and that's all anyone can ask for.

As a registered nurse myself I have visited many care homes. Benarty View is exceptional. We are so thankful and feel very blessed that my mother-in-law has a wonderful new place to call home.
