My brother-in-law is being well looked after and is happy at Benson House. Since he has been there he has become more sociable and happily speaks to and relates to other residents. Staff are friendly and helpful. He enjoys sitting and walking in the garden. He enjoys the meals. Medical help has
been appreciated. Although his stay will be temporary the experience has given him more confidence to live a more independent life.

Review from Rachel S (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident of Benson House since January when I moved him from a different care home in Oxford. I could not be happier with the level of care provided by the team. He has been bed-bound for months and is cleaned/changed 3 times per day which means he is always clean and happy when
I visit him. His room always smells pleasant (unlike the last home he was in) and the surroundings are really lovely. The team at Benson House and the care they provide is outstanding. I always receive a warm welcome and they truly seem to care about my father's wellbeing. The food is top-notch, the services bang up-to-date and the building itself is a home away from home. My father and I lucked out with Benson and I'm thankful that he's in very good hands.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad was 94 when he was admitted to Benson House, and he spent just over two weeks there before he died.  He only got to use a small proportion of the facilities available, as he was not well enough to engage with most of them.  We did take him into the gardens in a wheelchair, and that was very pleasant
and tranquil.  Although he wasn't able to test many of the things available, he did make use of the best of the feature of Benson House - the care.  There were lots of staff available at all hours of day an night, and they were always cheerful.  It was a great blessing to us to know that he was receiving great care, care that could not have been replicated at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
If you're looking for a warm, safe, and loving environment for someone you care about, look no further. Benson House isn't just a care home-they become family. I can't thank them enough for what they did for Nana and for us.
The staff at Benson House were exceptional. They always had time for us ,
offering a shoulder to cry on, a comforting hug, or a laugh when we needed it. They genuinely cared about not just Nana, but us as her family. That compassion made all the difference.
There were many staff members who went above and beyond for us during an incredibly difficult time. After Nana passed, we even held her wake at Benson House. The staff organised everything, chatted with us throughout the day.
They were there when we needed love, comfort, and support the most.
We'll never forget them and will always carry them in our hearts as part of our family for the rest of our lives xx

My Dad came to Benson House for planned short term recovery but ended up staying for a number of months.
We can not fault the staff who were incredibly accommodating of his dietary requirements. All staff were without fail always cheerful, willing to spend time with my Dad and do whatever it took to
keep him happy. This was from all kinds of staff - the maintenance team, catering, nursing carers and the management and administration. We were so impressed.
Whenever we had a query or concern, response was immediate.
Benson House is a fantastic care home. They made my Dad' s last months as a comfortable as possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Benson House cared for my uncle for 3 years and at times he wasn't always grateful, but I know he was safe and had people around him instead of being home alone. I felt very supported by the staff and especially the carers who cared for Allan throughout his time at Benson House. They followed his wishes
and when the time came for my uncle to leave this planet they gave him a dignified death and allowed him to be discharged from hospital and die with the people who he knows and cared for him. With me being overseas and him having no relatives their care and support after he died with paperwork was so helpful. I am so happy we found Benson House, my uncle was happy there. With my heartfelt thanks.

My mum came to Benson House for end-of-life care. All the staff have been excellent, very caring and approachable. The level of care has been tailored each day to my mum's needs. My mum's room is very comfortable and cleaned regularly with accessible bathroom and shower, TV and telephone. There is a
weekly activity programme which is very good for interaction between residents. The meals are outstanding, with a good choice of options. The management is very approachable with any concerns and responded quickly to our questions.

Review from Ann L (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff at Benson House were very helpful when we required care for my mother at short notice. Mum had an assessment at home within a few days and moved into the home the day after the assessment. Circumstances meant we extended mum's stay at short notice but this was never an issue for the home. We
were very happy with the care and attention mum had from staff. Access to the nurses was easy and they always had time to talk and discuss mums progress showing a deep understanding of her needs. The nurses communicated well with mum's GP and hospital clinicians, adjusting medication as required.
Unfortunately for mum an out break of covid meant that access to the activities was restricted but she still had chats with the other ladies at mealtimes
It was reassuring to have audio in mums room as we were concerned for her, especially at night.
Family were always made welcome when visiting.
The home was very accommodating when mum continued to visit Benson Day Centre a couple of times a week

You want clothing articles named, I bought eight pairs of trousers for my husband in July/August 2024, three pairs of which I have never seen him wear or in his room, I know he is incontinent. His sports jacket was ruined when it had been washed, most of the shirts and many pairs of trousers now in
his room are unnamed and not his. He has had a watch, two pairs of glasses and an electric razor and charger go missing. The glasses and watch had not been labelled. His file of photos and framed pictures seem to have disappeared.
I am well aware that in the time my husband has been with you his behaviour has been diabolical and a fair bit of the time, very awkward, not his old self at all, fortunately he seems totally unaware of where he is and doesn't seem distressed about it.

My husband came into Benson House to provide respite care for myself and my family after almost a year of being cared for at home, which had become increasingly stressful for all concerned. All the staff at Benson were friendly, welcoming and accommodating in providing excellent care for my husband
and support for each member of the family. We were able to visit at any time, day or night, and were always made to feel that no query was too much for the kind and caring staff.
We all found Benson House to be a lovely environment to visit and spend time in, it is clearly well-maintained and comfortable for residents and visitors. The atmosphere was calm and caring upon every visit.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.767) out of 10 for Benson House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.767 for Benson House is calculated as follows: ( (359 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 443 Ratings = 4.767
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Benson House is based on 37 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 37 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Job Title: Home Manager

As the Home Manager, I believe in enhancing the lives of our residents and that they should be able to live the life they want. I enjoy taking on the responsibilities that come with managing a home and I encourage the inclusion of everyone in the home, to create a friendly environment and a great place for us all to live, work and visit.


I have been qualified as a licensed nurse since 1996 in the Philippines and a Registered Nurse in the UK since 2004 with me being a Senior Nurse for over 12 years. I am proud to have been promoted from Deputy Manager at Benson House to the new Home Manager and have the opportunity to support and develop the team at the home to create a culture where continuous learning is encouraged and valued.


I operate an open-door policy and am approachable, not only to my team but to the residents and their relatives too as it is their home. I encourage residents to make their rooms their own, by bringing in personal items to help make them homely for them.


I am passionate about being able to support and develop my team and seeing team members grow in their roles at the home as I work with them to offer the best care and environment possible for our residents.


I have lived in Benson for over two years and our home has a strong connection with the local community, and this is something that I am proud of and want to develop further. My favourite aspect of the local area is the river that the home overlooks and the accessibility to Oxford Centre.


In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and I like to create new dishes while cooking for my family and friends.
