Since my wife has been in Benson House, now for over a month, she has been shown nothing but kindness and respect from all members of staff while she continues on her Dementia Journey. I highly recommend Benson House.

I would like to thank Benson House for the outstanding care they all gave my brother, Patrick, during his three months of care. Everyone was so kind to him and the facilities there were second to none. Unfortunately Pat passed in their care and the dignity given to him will always be remembered by
all his family and friends.

A very good level of care for my father, understanding and compassionate staff. Excellent communication about an issues arising with my Dad's care. Very comfortable and caring environment. The afternoon tea was excellent, with some of the best cake, and for both residents and visitors.

Our uncle only had 3 months in Benson House. As a family we were impressed with everyones friendliness and professionalism. He required some specialist care to keep him comfortable. This was achieved. He shared jokes with the nursing staff and was never in pain. The staff are thoughtful and
compassionate we have been happy that he was able to pass his last 3 months in such a good place. He never left his room and had difficulty with his appetite hence the satisfactory ratings below. Thank you for looking after our uncle.

My husband has been at Benson House for nearly three years and during that time has had the most marvellous care from every member of the staff, be it nursing, wellbeing, administrative or maintenance. The care and consideration given to him has been exemplary in all aspects. The home is always
beautifully clean, bright and welcoming and the gardens are well tended. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and very professional. A great weight was removed from my shoulders when my husband came to live at the home. The staff have also given much support to me at difficult times which is much appreciated.
I visited several care homes before choosing this one and I can highly recommend Benson House as being the best in the area.

My husband came to live at Benson House in August 2025. We are both pleased that he is safely there - it is a real home.
His room is lovely and he is enjoying having some personal possessions around him.
The staff are lovely, so kind and caring, but 'professional' all the time. The food is
amazing with a very wide choice. He says the days pass quickly, in no small part due to the wellbeing team. As a visitor I always feel welcome.

1/ Kind & attentive staff, easy to approach for aid
2/ Need to train nursing assistants to enable dressings change to free up nurses workload
3/ High quality rooms & gardens
4/ Give relevant residents code for front door.
5/ Overall nice play to stay & recuperate

I was asked by the receptionist and office staff if you would be attending the meeting tonight. I said there is no point as you cannot improve perfection. Each and every one of the staff team makes mum's stay extremely nice. All the staff are happy and always greet with a smile nothing is a problem.
Mum appears much happier since residing at Benson House. Her diet has improved immensley, hat's of to all the staff. Thank you all very much.

Kind, friendly staff who provide regular updates. Dad is enjoying his time at Benson House and loves the food and the broad range of activities. He hasn't stopped talking about the boat trip that I was able to join him on.

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.
02 September 2025
This is a wonderful home and on behalf of my family we are all very happy with the aesthetics, the warmth & friendliness of the staff, the care they deliver and the peace of mind we have been given since mum moved in here.
The activities are varied & from what I have seen & experienced are
enjoyable.
So, Thank you!

Dad's care was simply excellent with great kindness shown to him throughout his time at Benson House.
We will always be grateful for the wonderful care Dad received in his last few months and would recommend Benson House to anyone.
22 July 2025
Benson House has been Dad's home for just over two years.
He's well looked after by the staff who are so caring and very patient. We know if there's any problem they'll get in touch with us straight away.

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.

Wonderful staff. Wonderful food. Great entertainment. Very caring place. Nothing is too much trouble.

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.

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
