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.

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.
Thank you, for your kind words and recognition of the team at Benson house. We are so sorry for your loss, and we're glad that you were able to enjoy our gardens with him in the time. Your comments will be passed on to the team.

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
Thank you, Kelly-Joy, for your kind words and recognition of the team at Benson House.

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.

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.
Thank you for your kind words and recognition of the team at Benson House. We're very sorry for your loss, and we are pleased to hear your Uncle was happy and comfortable while with us. Your comments will be passed on to the team.

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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased to read your positive comments about your mum's care at Benson House and it is lovely to hear she is settling in at the home and that the team have met your expectations with regards to communication. Your feedback will be passed on to the team who will be delighted with your five-star review.
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...
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

Really delighted with the kindness, care and careful attention to individual needs at Benson House. The activities and engagement (even with a reluctant joiner in!) are great and there is a lovely, unstressful atmosphere. Thank you.

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...
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Benson House, Joan. 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.
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...
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.
We would like to thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and the positive comments about the home and team at Benson House. We're glad you found our home welcoming and that our communication was to a high standard. All comments will be passed on to the team.
My dad spent his final week at Benson House and we're so grateful for the kindness, care and compassion of the staff. Although he was only there for end-of-life care, the difference they made was immeasurable. Having Dad at Benson House instead of at home allowed us to focus on spending precious...
The staff were professional yet warm, always going the extra mile to make Dad comfortable and treating him with dignity and respect. Their attentiveness and empathy extended to us as well, offering reassurance, support and a calm presence during such a difficult time.
We felt so confident in how Dad was being looked after and the atmosphere of care and compassion they created meant the world to us. Benson House gave us peace of mind and dignity for Dad in his final days and we'll always be deeply thankful for the exceptional team.
Thank you for your kind words and recognition of the team at Benson House. We are so sorry for your loss and we are pleased that your dad received our care with the dignity and respect he deserved. Your comments will be passed on to the team who will be delighted with your feedback.

Facilities are good but overall communication still requires some improvement. Patient information and welfare stats/updates are very limited. Too often case/key workers do not pass on information to all (management/all with a need to know.) This has been an ongoing issue. Many pass the buck (especially management). Too often I hear "I was not here" so don't know, this is unacceptable.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Benson House. We continually strive to improve the care and service we provide and appreciate your feedback. With that in mind, we will be in contact with you very soon to discuss how we can effectively improve our communication and address your feedback to meet your expectations.

Mum has Alzheimer's and is confined to a wheelchair but she is included in a lot of the activities and has a lot of mental stimulation from these and the general interaction with the nurses and carers.
All the staff treat mum with respect and love. It is honestly a joy to visit the home. The welcome I receive is always warm and friendly.
I highly recommend Benson House to anyone looking for a loving, warm, caring and friendly home.

Both she and our family are very happy with the way in which she is looked after. It took her a little while to settle and, as one might expect, the change from living independently was significant but she and we believe it was the right thing for her. During our consideration, we were made welcome and all our questions were answered in a straightforward manner. Benson House are pretty good with communication so we are usually kept well-informed. The general difficulties with Covid were well-managed and we were kept up to date with the necessary temporary changes.
Aunt is very pleased with the hairdressing service in the well-equipped salon. She is a regular user.
During a professional career, I visited a number of care homes and there is no doubt in my mind that this is the best. The only downside is the noise in the garden from the busy A-road but that is a minor detail.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Richard. We are so pleased to read your positive comments about your aunt's care and support at Benson House and it's great that she was able to settle in with our team. We're glad that the communication has met your expectations and that she...

Mum has been at Benson House since May 2023. I am extremely happy with the care and support provided to her. The nurses and carers are very sensitive in ensuring that her dignity and personal preferences are always considered in their care. They consistently provide good individual support and give time, which allows lovely relationships to be formed. The communication is also excellent: I am promptly kept up to date with every aspect of Mum's needs and care. The well-being team are invaluable with the activities and one-to-one sessions too, they really do take care to identify individual's preferences and give the time to them. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly, there is a real feel of comfort and calm at Benson House. The food is also of a very high nutritional standard and very appetising. I visited many care homes when choosing and I immediately knew this was the one for us - I highly recommend Benson House.

Mum moved into Benson House in July 2024. Until then, she had lived independently but it had become clear that she needed high-quality, residential, palliative care. Finding a room at Benson House was a godsend! Mum could relax, happy in her garden room, surrounded by kind staff and well nourished with delicious food. All the staff - from nurses to carers, cleaners, catering staff and managers - cared about mum as much as I did. It felt like we were a team with the same goal - mum's well being and comfort. The nurses are truly amazing! With kindness and professionalism, they did their utmost to look after her right to the very end. Integration with other health services (GP and Sue Ryder) was exceptional. I will be forever grateful for how everyone made a very difficult time so much easier for not just mum but me. I miss her greatly but also the team there. So supportive at every stage. This is how end of life care should be. Couldn't recommend more highly.
