The expert team at Benson Care Home can support a range of care requirements. They have a team of fully trained nurses with specialist expertise, chosen for their compassion and experience. The home is a purpose-built luxury care home that provides quality nursing, residential, and dementia care for up to 70 residents on a permanent and short-stay basis.
The home is luxuriously furnished, giving a homely feel. There are a range of living areas for residents to socialise, with various lounges as well as a cinema room and a hairdressing salon. There are also a variety of daily activities to keep residents engaged. If residents prefer to spend time outside, there is access to vast landscaped gardens, with outdoor seating all year round to soak up the sun. Safety and comfort are a foremost concern at Benson House. That’s why all rooms have acoustic monitoring and are fitted with a nurse call system.

I couldn't commend the place and the staff highly enough frankly, they made a genuine fuss of my Dad and my Mum and I were both massively impressed and felt blessed that he got to spend his last days there.
Thanks to all for treating my Dad with the dignity and respect he so deserved, and I have to say that every stakeholder I engaged with, every single one of them all went the extra mile that so made the residents feel valued during a very hard time for residents and their families.

Mum was placed on emergency respite back in March of this year. Obviously a very difficult time for her. All staff have been friendly and welcoming with Mum and the family, who visit daily. This continues to be observed on each visit. Always a "good morning" from reception and staff on the way in and up to see her. She is addressed with respect and her dignity is preserved. Any issues have been addressed as soon as mentioned. Mum enjoys the activities, she sometimes needs encouragement from staff to participate but is easily reassured by their gentle, calming approach. She has made friends, is happy and has settled well, which in turn makes us, the family, happy. Thank you.

The only negative would be that one SRN (Nurse) on duty on my mother's floor 2 was always quite abrupt and rude and she never answered alarm bells, we witnessed this first hand - we reported this to the home's General Manager.
Saying that there were a lot of caring staff who were lovely to my mother.
We always liked the atmosphere in the home which we normally found to be very friendly, calm, and relaxed.

Benson House treat dad with the utmost dignity and respect he deserves. All the staff are welcoming, friendly and delightful to be around. As a family we have come through an exceptionally challenging 9 months since Dad suffered such a serious fall. But we know it is the best decision we have made to move dad here. He is safe and so well cared for. Despite the sadness of our personal.situation, I look forward to my visits several days a week.

Staff were all so kind, patient and good-humoured - even under difficult circumstances - and I had regular updates from staff and care reviews. Access to a GP was much appreciated. End of life care was respectful and compassionate, and as a family we all felt very much cared for.

I find it very relaxed but I have everything I want
When and if I have to ring the bell someone always comes quickly. Although the staff are busy they are always pleasant and helpful.And not bullying in any way.

The staff were kind and helpful although some seemed to require better training . I had to ask on several occasions for my water jug to be refilled this should have been done twice a day My room was comfortable and the furniture was in keeping it was nice to have a fridge. A bedside light would...
The food was not acceptable as what was written on the menu was often not what was produced . Often cold and the chef / cooks had no idea what ingredients are required to make certain meals and presentation poor also lack of green vegetables . There must be a great deal of food wasted. Considering I was visited in hospital and asked what I like to eat you couldn't even provide natural yogurt. Frankly the hospital food was better.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are always trying to improve the care and service for each resident that lives at the Home, so we will be in contact with you very soon to discuss the issues raised below to rectify them and how we can meet your expectations in the future.
