Mum's been here for a few months now, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care and attention she receives from the care staff, entertainments and staffing at meals. Speaking of meals, they are like going to a top restaurant. Mum has improved a lot since being here and that's all due to everyone that works here. A very big thank you.
My friend is respected and looked after as she should be. The nicest, kindest most loving lady I know. All staff are very helpful. You can't ask for more. Thank you for making my friend feel at home and to feel secure.
Thank you for your very kind words. Glad to hear that she feels at home.
Since our dad has come to Bentley House in respite care we have been amazed at his progress. Everyone is so careing and kind, so much so we are now to arrange for him to stay here.
Thank you for your very kind words. We are more than happy to have Dad stay with us on a permanent basis, he is a lovely gentleman and has fit in very well at Bentley House.
Everything from the rooms, entertainment, food and care have been first class and I feel great and ready to return her home shortly, after two weeks care. It is also a comfort to know that I could fall back on this again should the need arise.
Any concerns are dealt with professionally and with great reassurance. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your very kind words. It has been an absolute pleasure having your wife stay with us for the last couple of weeks. It will be sad to see her leave but take comfort that we will be seeing her again in the future, for your well-deserved break.
My mum was extremely ill several months ago, so I decided to move her closer to me, which meant moving her from her house in London to Bentley Care Home. This was a huge change for my mum, but with the level of care from all of the staff has been outstanding, not only to my mum but to myself also. My mum always said, that if I ever moved her to a care home, she would disown me. Well, this is no ordinary home more like a luxurious hotel, and to be very honest, I would happily live there myself. Bentley House is decorated and furnished to the highest standard, the food is delicious, and the staff always go above and beyond to assist our needs. Since my mum has moved here, she is now so much better within herself, both mentally and physically. We are now able to enjoy quality time together and recently went on holiday overseas. Something we would not have been able to do a few months ago, and for that, I will forever be grateful to Bentley House, for their constant care.
Thank you so much for your extremely kind words and positive feedback. We are so pleased that Mum is doing so well. She has some fascinating stories for us all here and we love to sit and chat. She certainly is a big part of our Bentley family.
My father has been residing in Bently House for the last two years in which time he has received first-class care on all levels, treated with dignity and respect at all times. Where do I begin with the wonderful staff, there are not enough words of thanks I could give to each and every one of them, for the kindness yet totally professional service they have given to us. Although my father did not take part in activities, there seem to be things to do most of the day. The food in the restaurant is excellent, and again the staff are most helpful in assisting where needed. Rooms are lovely, clean and comfortable as is the whole building it's a wonderful environment to go and visit your loved ones. I was fearful of putting my dad into a care home after him being so independent, but have no regrets as these last two years have been wonderful for him. He has loved being at Bently House and having the company - as he says of the lovely staff that have loved him as a friend, not just a resident.
Thank you for your very positive feedback. It is a pleasure having Dad as part of our Bentley House family.
My care was very good and the staff were very kind and helpful.
Thank you for your kind words. The staff at Bentley House are always here to help and make improvements if required for all of our residents stay. We look forward to seeing you again, it was a pleasure having you as part of the Bentley House family.
Nice garden and nice food.
Thank you for your kind review, we're very pleased you can relax without having to do any work.
Excellent food. Top class surroundings.
Thank you for your very kind words. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your lunch date with us. You are more than welcome to come back anytime.
Although she really wanted to stay at home, that was not possible.
Thank you for your very kind words, it was a pleasure having your Mum stay with us for the 3 weeks. We look forward to welcoming her back in the future.
My mum had a very pleasant experience at Bentley. Staff were attentive and professional towards my mum. The building is very welcoming and I will be using Bentley House again in the future. I know that my mum is well cared for and safe within Bentley House which is a great comfort to me
The décor, with various themes, is well chosen and the facilities are first class. The food is well-cooked, with a carefully prepared and varied menu. All in all, I have nothing but praise for this establishment.
Lovely light building, everybody very friendly and extremely helpful. I was only there for 15 nights. It took me a week to remember where everything was.
Thank you for your review Sheila, we're glad you had an enjoyable stay with us. Looking forward to welcoming you back to Bentley House soon!
In all my researches, centred on the Peterborough/Cambridge area, I have not found any care home which provides such standards of care and facilities.
Well done Bentley House.
A most pleasant experience. All the staff greeted me by my name, with a smile and no request was ignored. I was there for respite after an operation and was reasonably self-sufficient. I was truly amazed at the patience and care are given to the disabled residents in wheelchairs by all the staff. Activities varied and interesting. Keep fit-fun, cinema and a luxurious nightly change of films. Great!
I have no complaints whatsoever about my stay here for respite at Bentley House. All of the staff were very professional and caring. Nothing was too much trouble for them in anything I asked for. It was a pleasant experience.
All aspects of this home are very good. The staff in the dementia unit especially are very caring and pleasant. I am kept informed about my mothers care at all times. Very good liaison with local GP all in all very satisfied.
Only concern is that as more residents arrive the staff seem to be extra busy and have less time to chat with residents.
Exemplary care all round for which we, the family, are very appreciative. Thank you.
I found everyone very friendly and kind, never a cross word. Always there to help and always call into seeing that you were alright day and night. I felt very well looked after thank you for your kindness.

Meet the Team (5)

I have had the pleasure of being part of the Bentley House family since 2018, working in a variety of roles across the home. In my current position, I am the first point of contact for families beginning their journey to find the right caring environment for their loved ones.
I truly enjoy welcoming people into Bentley House and showcasing our exceptional facilities, luxurious surroundings and the incredible team who make our home so special. Supporting families at such an important time and helping them feel confident in their decisions is one of the most rewarding parts of my role.

I began my career in care at the age of 16, working part-time as a Housekeeper while still at college. Spending time with residents quickly sparked a passion for care, and I soon left college to become a full-time Care Assistant. I spent my first ten years in the sector before taking the opportunity to travel, exploring Thailand, Australia, Vietnam, Malaysia and South America over 18 months.
On my return, I spent the next 14 years developing my career from Senior Care Assistant to Assisted Living Coordinator, then Regional Care Coordinator, supporting homes across the business before stepping into a General Manager role. I later joined Signature Senior Lifestyle, first as General Manager at Elton House and then transferring to Bentley House.
With 30 years in the care industry, I feel just as passionate about supporting residents today as I did when I was 16. Providing exceptional care, leadership, and a true sense of home for our residents continues to be a privilege and a joy.

I have worked in health and social care for more than 20 years and have progressed through different roles throughout my career. I have completed Level 5 in Health and Social Care in Leadership and Management. Currently, I am working towards CIPD Level 5 in People Management. I have a background as a qualified nurse and midwife. I have experience working with different client groups, such as dementia, learning disabilities, assisted living, nursing and residential care. I am a very hardworking and passionate person. As the Residential Manager, I believe that it is important to be approachable and willing to help others. I pride myself in having a friendly and open approach to residents, loved ones and team members.

I started at Signature at Bentley House as Dementia Care Manager.

As Hospitality Manager at Signature at Bentley House, I combine my experience in hospitality with my background in Occupational Therapy to enhance the overall resident experience and create a welcoming, comfortable, and supportive environment.
My focus is on ensuring that every aspect of our hospitality services, from dining and housekeeping to the wider living environment, contributes positively to residents’ wellbeing, independence, and quality of life. Working collaboratively with our care and clinical teams, I strive to deliver high-quality, person-centred services that reflect the individual needs, preferences, and aspirations of each resident.
I am passionate about creating an environment in which residents feel valued, respected, and empowered to live as independently and comfortably as possible. By placing the resident experience at the heart of everything we do, I aim to foster a true sense of home while promoting dignity, choice, and meaningful daily living.
