View Full Details of Benarty View Care HomeMy mum needed care with personal care as she was becoming more and more frail, eating less and less and becoming more and more withdrawn. Her legs were ulcerated and mobility poor. Since going into Benarty View mum has gained weight and looks so much better. Her legs have cleared up and most importantly she is back to being the happy, contented mum we know and love. The social activities are great. She loves going to the companion club and other excursions. The staff are so lovely with mum. From the management and admin team; the nursing team; the carers; the activity team; catering staff and cleaners. It's a very special place and I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone who is looking for a care home that really cares. It's been a year for mum and she walks so much better and has really flourished in Benarty View.
In difficult circumstances in December 2024, I had to find a care home for my father who had Alzheimer's and we could no longer manage at home. Whilst trying to get assistance from Social Services, I took the chance to phone Benarty View direct. We will be eternally grateful for the compassionate assessment of our situation and they assistance we were given; Dad moved into Benarty View that evening. I can't speak highly enough of the care Dad received in his 6 months at Benarty View. From the Home Manager right through to the domestic staff, Dad, my mother and I have been shown nothing but kindness. The care staff were genuinely interested in Dad and so incredibly attentive. From day trips and activities at the start, through to finally managing end of life care, Dad was so well looked after in clean, well organised surroundings. No hesitation in recommending and I genuinely miss seeing the residents and staff following Dad's passing.
I decided to move my mother from another care home to Benarty View in April 2025, and I'm so glad I did. The Care Home Manager, Administration Team, Cooking, Nursing, and Care Staff have been nothing short of outstanding! Their approach is consistent and empathic, resulting in a vast improvement in my mother's health and sense of wellbeing. The team have helped mum get around her anxiety troubles and socialise well. They've also supported her with day trips and provided essential post-operative care following and emergency hip replacement. My mother doesn't give out compliments easily however, she always tells me 'everyone' is being so kind and helpful which is reassuring. She always enjoys her meals and food choices too. The care home rooms are traditional compared with new purpose built facilities, but the this is less important than the care provided. I would highly recommend.
Management, carers and all staff (kitchen, maintenance, laundry) are very approachable and accommodating. If they can't give an immediate answer to a question they always do get back to you, nothing is ever too much trouble. If you have a large family, like I do, we were made to feel that there would be no restriction on visiting which has helped immensely. There are a wide range of activities and day trips out for residents with which they have a choice whether to participate or not, the decision is always theirs, maintaining their independence.
My Mum moved into Benarty View two months ago after being diagnosed with rapid onset of Vascular Dementia. This was a very stressful time for me as sole relative. The Management team were so wonderful with me and understood how very difficult this was for me. I cannot even begin to say how happy I am with my choice of Benarty View. The home is scrupulously clean, the staff are absolutely lovely and very well adversed with Dementia. Maintenance and garden are immaculate. Washing and ironing must be a nightmare with so many residents but all Mum's clothes are clean in place and she always has a matching outfit on which was important to Mum. The food is amazing and all home cooked. It was my Mum's 90th birthday this week and a beautiful home made cake and candles appeared at afternoon coffee time. The activities are vast and fun and really focused on Dementia. Mum took a good few weeks to settle in but with the help and care of the staff she is settled and happy.
Although Dad only had a week at Benarty View Care Home before he sadly passed, he was surrounded by genuine care, compassion and love during his days there. I witnessed at first hand the excellent care he received and know that his final days were calm, peaceful and comfort filled as a result. Nothing was too much trouble for the team at Benarty either for Dad or us, his family. The entire team worked closely and seamlessly together to make Dad's experience outstanding. Sadly he wasn't there long enough to become fully part of the community that very clearly exists at Benarty. I cannot fault anything about our or Dad's experience and will be eternally grateful for their care of Dad as he passed. Thank you.
Excellent care home, brilliant all round. 10. out of 10. There is nothing more to say. ok, I think this is easily the best nursing/care home in this area. This care home has two of the best manageresses in this business. The staff are top-notch in all of their duties. I have every confidence in the Management team.
My wife moved into Lomond Dementia Unit at Benarty View Kelty on the 17th of November 2023 and was a resident there until my wife very suddenly passed away on the 8th of January 2024. In the short time that my wife spent in Benarty Veiw, I have to say that my wife was treated with dignity, respect, kindness, compassion, and a level of care and professionalism from all the staff which was truly exceptional and I cannot thank them enough for all that they did for my wife during her stay at Benarty Veiw. All staff involved in my wife’s care are a true credit to Benarty View and indeed Four Seasons Care.
My father was challenging because of his Alzheimer's combined with a strong personality, he found the transition of going into nursing care extremely difficult. The staff made every effort to get to know dad and what his needs were. Despite his reluctance to join in activities, the staff were good at encouraging him but it soon became evident that dad's safe place was his own room. The staff were happy to spend time with dad in his room and nothing was too much trouble. When he became very ill and was coming to the end of his life the nursing care was exemplary and the kindness from all healthcare professionals towards him and the family was excellent. Their work ethic as carers and the empathy shown was nothing but the best. The managers take great pride in the home they run and the quality of care that everyone provides. There is a strong family feel to the whole environment.
Whilst my aunt has only been in Benarty View for three weeks, I can see such a difference in her physical appearance and her demeanour. Prior to being transferred to the home, she was in a hospital side room and I felt that her health was going downhill rapidly however, since she has been transferred to Benarty View, she has come on leaps and bounds and is looking and feeling far better than she has done for some time. This of course could be down to the homemade food which looks delicious. The manager and team have all been amazing and nothing is too much trouble. I feel that she's very well cared for in the home, she's safe, happy and content and that's all anyone can ask for.
Benarty Care Home is a warm, inviting and very caring environment. The manager and her wonderful staff helped my husband through the process of ensuring his mum received the best care possible. At 92 years of age with progressing dementia, nursing care and social support will enable her to have a quality of life not possible living alone. We live in Canada. It is a huge relief to know that my mother-in-law is safe and well nourished and in a stimulating environment. Her room was beautifully decorated when she arrived. The manager ensured her tastes were taken into account. We are able to see updates on the social media page. As a registered nurse myself I have visited many care homes. Benarty View is exceptional. We are so thankful and feel very blessed that my mother-in-law has a wonderful new place to call home.
My father has recently moved to Benarty View Care Home due to closure of his previous care home. He was welcomed warmly, with friendly staff providing the support he needed helping him to settle. Care was taken to introduce him to others with whom he could chat. His room is well set up, including his own toilet/washbasin. There is a choice of lounge, in one of which he eats his meals, but he can also have meals in his room. When he had a fall and needed to go to hospital, staff kept me well informed, stayed with him until he was admitted, and went back with items he needed on the following evening when he was kept in. Communication with the home is good.
Benarty View provides consistently high standards of care for my father-in-law, whom we see regularly. He enjoys a raft of activities and is provided with lovely meals and lots of drinks to stay hydrated. The home is always clean, with refurbishments taking place. There is a large, fantastic garden that residents and visitors can use. The manager and all staff are very welcoming with very good communication channels. All in all, my father-in-law is very well looked after, both physically and mentally, which is very reassuring for all of the family.
Mum has been a resident in Benarty View for a year and has been very content. She settled in well after her initial quarantine. She has found the staff generally very caring and helpful and my concerns have been dealt with promptly by the management. The visiting arrangements were very well organised during the Covid crisis and we continued to visit twice a week.
I wanted to write this review to say thank you to Benarty View Care Home staff for the excellent care they provide to my papa. It’s been comforting to know my papa has been in safe hands during the pandemic. The staff at Benarty are always very friendly and welcoming when visiting my papa, and my papa is very complimentary of the care he receives! The home is always very clean, and it’s nice to see the recent refurbishments that have taken place. I’m always amazed at the amount of activities that are put on for the residents. My papa has a busier social life than me! Thanks again for all the hard work and care you provide.
I cannot rate this home highly enough. The change in my mum since being here is amazing, she is happy and cared for by all members of the staff from the manager and her great team. We also are made to feel at home and are welcomed on each visit by a member of the caring staff. It has taken a lot for us to put trust in a care home but we have no worries with Benarty View, they do an excellent job and nothing is too much trouble. At my mum’s 90th birthday they put on a wonderful buffet and all sang happy birthday, brilliant, it made a special day memorable for us.
I am happy with the care my mum has received since coming to Benarty View. The staff are always very polite and friendly every time I visit my mum. Nothing is too much bother. I am delighted to see my mum as happy.
Benarty staff and management give 100% to help with anything that is required to make my wife's stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Nothing too big or small to be dealt with in the most pleasant manner.
My mum went into Benarty View during lockdown and was initially very anxious as I hadn’t had a proper look around the home before she went there so was very unsure if I was doing the right thing for my mum. The management has been great, taking on board any comments or concerns and dealing with them straight away and making my mum feel at home and I have built up a trust with them now that my mum is being well looked after. All the staff are very friendly and really care for the residents. They have a great activities co-ordinator who organising a good variety of activities to keep them occupied. Last week was the first time I had been in the home and was really pleased with the facilities and my mum's room. It was great to be able to visit my mum in her room for a little while, with all the PPE. The only thing I was disappointed in was that I was not allowed to give her a hug, but hopefully soon when we have all had the vaccine I will be able to give her a big hug
I am in awe at the care, love and nurture my mother has received since arriving at Benarty View Care Home. The manager is highly professional and the nursing team are exceptional. All the carers are highly skilled and are genuinely compassionate. I am safe in the knowledge my mother is loved and supported by the team around her.
