Benvie Care Home has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.577) out of 10, based on 25 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Benvie Care Home has 48 reviews.
Some staff are rude and the tail wags the dog at this care home as some carers with no medical training seem to think they know better than the manager. The manager is also devious and will suppress complaints at every opportunity.
Benvie Care Home operates a zero tolerance policy. As an employer, it has a duty of care for the health and safety of its staff and the service users. It also has a responsibility to provide a safe and secure working environment for staff. In this respect, all relatives and visitors to the home are...
I am more than grateful to the home. Any medical issues are dealt with immediately and all the staff are extremely helpful.
My mother was admitted from the hospital where she was unsettled, paranoid and tried to escape/leave the ward on three occasions. Since being admitted to Benvie she has settled into the home and is back to her normal self. This is due to the staff and very supportive management at Benvie.
Thank you for your kind review. Hopefully, we can maintain our high standards as we move forward.
Very individualised care. Loving and open atmosphere. Respect for clients and visitors always evident. Residents choices respected. Calm atmosphere and pleasing décor.
The staff are welcoming and friendly. They are professional when carrying out their duties and come across as a well-trained team. I am very happy with the level of care given to my dad and feel his needs are being met.
We, as a family, are grateful and thankful for the love, care and attention shown to our parent. Our family was not keen on the idea of a care home, but this has definitely been the best choice for our parent (and family). Many thanks to Benvie Care Home - very pleased with all aspects.
Nice welcoming home. Staff are very friendly and treat you very good. The atmosphere is very homely, warm and welcoming. You are treated very well here and I have no hesitation in recommending Benvie Care Home if you are looking for a place for family. I cannot rate it highly enough. Top marks for a top place.
My relative has been a resident in this care facility for over 7 years and I can honestly say that it has been the best decision made to ensure that she has had the care needed with regards to her illness. Every single member of staff knows each and every residents name and also the names of the relatives. You know just by talking to the staff how much they enjoy their work and that shines through when you watch them going about their duties and they always take time out when you visit to tell you what your relative has been doing. There are always activities going on for the residents and if family members wish to join in they are made to feel very welcome. The care home manager also holds meetings on a regular basis with relatives so that anything can be discussed and dealt with although having said that you can talk to anyone while you visit and it will be passed to the manager forthwith.
