As a daughter of a resident my mum has been in Benvie for over 2 years I have been in many times visiting her and find it hard to find carers residents sit in the lounge unattended the food is a disgrace for what they are paying for ie cauliflower cheese for dinner sandwiches and a packet of crisps this isn't nutritious meals this is cheap food some residents are sitting with food down there clothes there is no interaction from staff no entertainment and a second hand mini bus that doesn't work Sits 6 people and the same people going on trips when the staff can be bothered taking them out.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are disappointed to read about your experience - this does not reflect the high standards we set for ourselves or that were recently recognised in our latest care inspection report.
Benvie is led by an experienced manager, we will ensure...
As Sam's partner I am totally happy with the care he has received. The staff have been very helpful to me and the care Sam has been getting is excellent. He cant do anything for himself and the staff have been at hand all the time.
Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you're happy with Sam's care and support - the team at Benvie are really committed to personalised care and will appreciate your kind words. Very best wishes, Renaissance Care
Don't think this is acceptable professional working practices.
On the passing of this relative I did not receive a phone call or any communication of their passing away till 5 days later of receiving a phone call from social worker.
The domestic who helped me with her belongings was appreciated and the laundry assistant who attended her funeral was greatly appreciated.
I found any communication between myself and the care manager was not greatly received and was what I would class as being obstructive.
We use a digital care planning system that allows our staff...
Benvie is a very friendly supportive home. All carers & nurses are very helpful making my father feel he belongs & is being cared for.
Thanks very much for your kind words, we're delighted to hear your dad is happy at Benvie - the people there really are wonderful. Best wishes, Renaissance Care
My mother has been a resident now for four mths she has settled in well, she enjoys her interaction with "Benvie's" staff. She calls this her "new home" enjoys her food as it is excellent, as my mothers son, I am kept up to date, with my mum's progress, I am there to visit her six days a week and see the effort Benvie's staff put into looking after my mother, zero concerns
Thank you for sharing such lovely feedback. It's wonderful to hear your mum has settled in and feels at home with us. The team will be so pleased to know their care and efforts are making a difference.
She was tenderly and efficiently cared for at all times during her 10 month stay, but particularly during her final few weeks.
All staff were so respectful, caring and consoling to her and all her family. We shall miss them all.
Thank you for your kind words at such a difficult time. It was a privilege to care for your mum, and we're so pleased our team could bring comfort to her and your family. We're thinking of you all.
Cannot thank Care Home Manager enough for the help she gave with my husband's emergency admission. She is exceptional in her role and support of resident's & family. Her warm, cheerful, friendly, enthusiastic manner sets the tone for a very positive, welcoming atmosphere throughout. Extremely impressed by the entire staff as a unit. Highest praise for the care staff who helped my husband settle in quickly, treating him with dignity, respect, patience and personal interest. Cleanliness very good, testament to hard work. attention and efficiency of staff. The peaceful haven of the garden is a bonus, a very pleasant surprise to find it free of traffice noise in a built up area.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear about your positive experience - your comments about our team, the standard of care, and the peaceful surroundings are greatly appreciated and will be shared with everyone involved.
My husband is in Benvie Care Home around 8 months ago. From the beginning we have been seeing and receiving a very good care. Staff is doing amazing job and working hard. Rooms have got everything that patients needs. It's a very warm atmosphere in this care home. And its getting better from beginning of this year very very satisified. Big thank you to all the staff and management.
My husband is in very good hands.
My gran's end-of-life care was utterly appalling. I can't even describe the heartache this has caused me to witness being a carer myself. Tried to express my concerns with management, she was not interested and would not take my complaint seriously. I needed to go to care inspectors instead to reveal that my gran didn't have an end-of-life care plan written out, pain management hadn't been managed properly, and gaps in paperwork an hour before passing, and when she's was in palliative care - 15 minutes checks were meant to be getting done, she died alone as no one called to tell us she was deteriorating and not one member of staff said we can stay until a young member of the family was told when leaving. Her mouth care was not given any of the times I was in. I was the one giving her mouth care. The list goes on. The article in the paper from August was my report to the care inspector. The level of care was heartbreaking, no apology from home. Every complaint I put in could not be upheld.
We offer our most profound apologies for your experience at the home. We know that elements of care fell below the standard that our residents and relatives should expect and that we are committed to achieving. We are working hard to make significant changes within the home to ensure we can...
Pleased to have found a caring environment for my husband who has dementia. He is contented and well looked after which puts my mind to rest.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very grateful that you took the time to leave us a review.
My sister-in-law and I looked after Dad for five years before he was admitted to Benvie Care Home and we are both most impressed with the level of care that he is receiving.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We love to hear that you are happy with the care we provide.

Meet the Team (6)

Hello, my name is Mya. I have been a Registered Nurse for 23 years which I started in South Africa specialising in Intensive Care Nursing. I moved to Scotland in 2004 to further my career, and I have now worked at Benvie Care Home for nearly 20 years.
I started at Benvie as a Registered Nurse, hoping one day I would beable to climb a ladder, and here I am, very proud to be Deputy Manager.
I enjoy looking after people who require support and care. This gives me satisfaction when I go
home after my shift and I feel proud to be able to provide our residents with the care they require.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and going on walks to see bonnie Scotland.

Care Home.
I am often the first person you will see when you visit the home. I am responsible for all things
financial, whether it be payroll, dealing with BACS or customer accounts.
I thoroughly enjoy my role here at Benvie Care Home and I am looking forward to progressing within
the company.

I first started as a care assistant, working towards my SVQ3 to become a senior care assistant. I then went on to study BSC in Adult Nursing for 4 years at the University of Dundee. I am now a fully
qualified staff nurse within the care sector.
I am fun, friendly and a good team player, who loves caring for our residents here at Benvie Care Home.

My role here is to offer support and companionship to the residents, ensuring that the highest level of care and excellence is delivered at all times. Getting to know the families of the residents and ensuring they feel supported is extremely important to me.
My compassion and care for the elderly, with the support from the Benvie family, inspired me to
complete my SVQ level 2 in Health and Social Care.
I thoroughly enjoy my role at Benvie Care Home, and I am grateful for the opportunities the Home has provided for me in progressing my career.
I look forward to welcoming you when you visit the Home.

I’ve worked in care homes across Scotland for over 30 years, where I started as a care assistant, then moved to activities, until I found my passion in the kitchen.
I make sure all resident’s nutritional values are adhered to in every meal, but I do enjoy making
specialist foods for our residents who request it. The residents’ health and happiness are always foremost in mind.

I am passionate about my job, and I take pride in making sure everything is up to standard for each resident and their needs, helping them feel at home.
