  • Signature Bentley House, Hertford
The home is purpose-built and offers exceptional accommodation, which is affordable but of a very high standard. The team at Bentley House offers a warm welcome to all and is a care home like no other in the area. Life here at Bentley House is about making it feel like home.

The home has not one, but two outstanding restaurants with the menu being chosen by current residents. Bentley house has a cinema which is in constant use, quite often by visiting grandchildren. A large Wellbeing and Lifestyle Team provide trips out, visiting speakers, one-to-ones and activities which are again chosen by the resident committee, who meet on a regular basis.

A typical one bedroom suite offers a bedroom, separate lounge and kitchen, with a full en-suite wet room and the apartments are unique as they offer double the space of most care homes and are ideal for those wanting an extra room, or for couples who want to stay together. The home also has smaller studios for those who prefer something cosier. The apartments come unfurnished, allowing residents to bring furniture and personal items to help the settling in process significantly.

Although Bentley House has outstanding facilities, the home is all about the care it provides. Residents range from those who are relatively independent and still drive to those who require respite, full nursing, dementia or end of life care. The team at Bentley House pride themselves on providing discreet support.

I am so happy with the care my mum receives. They are always trying to encourage my mum to participate in things and to get her out of her room, even if it's just for a coffee downstairs, the staff are always so happy to help with anything you need. Bentley House is outstanding for all of my mums needs.

We have had several friends and family become members of care homes in different counties across the country. None of which compare to our recent encounters with Signature Bentley House, Hertford.
Each and every component of our experience has been seamless and pleasurable.
Reception welcomes you
with open arms, and the care staff working throughout show the utmost respect and hospitality. Our liaison manager made it very clear prior to joining that our loved one would be made to feel part of a community whilst receiving a high standard of care.
We have been filled with such confidence thus far. Leading us to prompt others to choose this care home over others.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our dear friend for whom we held Lasting Power of Attorney for began living at Bentley House in March 2023 following the death of his wife.
From the first visit to Bentley House, he was made to feel welcome. Everything was discussed with him, rather than us, which made him feel in control and valid,
it was after all his decision.
As the song goes ' Everyone knew his name' after that first and subsequent visits.
My friend found the food to be faultless, he deemed the nutritious soups delicious. Enjoyed the variety of daily options. And when feeling in need of a simple fried egg on toast it was never a problem.
His spacious apartment was kept clean, as were his clothes.
As for his care, there was continuity at every stage of his life at BH. Liaison between BH and his LPA's was faultless. Eric often said it's like being in a 5* hotel, his needs were met and he was happy residing there, being surrounded by his own possessions, and familiar faces. Independence with excellent care 24/7.

My Mother has been a very happy resident for over a year now.
Throughout this time all the staff have been unfailingly courteous & helpful.
My Mother's care has been exemplary & it's been a pleasure to chat to the two ladies on Reception.
Dom has always been on hand to helpfully deal with any issues-
nothing has ever been too much trouble - from settling my Mother to making sure she gets the best care.
Thank you so much.

My father moved in to this wonderful home in May. It was no easy decision for us as family, however finding Bentley House made us feel so reassured that Dad would be in the best possible place. The home itself is beautiful with a warm and welcoming environment. The staff have been absolutely incredible
with Dad, from care staff to liaison management to reception staff; wherever he goes, he is greeted with a huge smile and warmest of encounters, this makes him feel extremely valued as a resident and part of a new and extended family. The staff are extremely caring and responsive and have been fantastic at communicating with us and welcoming us all as family. Dad has formed incredible bonds with some staff. They are fantastic at providing feedback. No question or request is too much, and they are always learning about Dad to personalise his care. We feel blessed to have Dad living at Bentley House and hope he continues to have this amazing accommodation and care for years to come.

I was initially concerned about moving my mother into a residential care home, as she had always said a care home would not be for her. The move into Bentley House was very straightforward once we had a move-in date. Soon after she moved in, she said that she was very happy being at Bentley House. The
staff are all very kind, friendly and very polite to her and always use her name. She enjoys going to the cafe for tea and cake and seeing other residents and staff. She has been taken to watch films in the cinema which she has enjoyed. She has tried a few activities and the staff are encouraging her to try some more.

My Stepmother moved into Bentley House July 2024. The transition from home to Bentley House was smooth thanks to the support and guidance of staff. Although early days and the huge change to her life she has voiced that it was the right choice and place for her. Considering that she has high expectations
she has settled and is enjoying the activities offered. She considers the food to be of a good standard and has praised the care and commitment all staff have shown her.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father-in-law moved into Bentley House in May, sadly due to having early-onset Alzheimer's. It was a very difficult decision that my husband and his sister had to make but, having provided care for him to an increasing degree over the last 7-odd years, it was undoubtedly the right one.
The first
impression is that it seems more like a 5-star hotel than a residential care home. The words care home can, as I am sure most people imagine, conjure up quite unpleasant images, but Bentley House couldn't be further from these stereotypical ideas. It is very clear that time, effort and consideration have gone into every aspect. This isn't a place that people come to wait for God but rather to actively live and experience what is there for life to offer.
Nowhere is perfect and there won't always be an ideal solution for every problem, but I'd wager that Bentley House and its staff come as close as is possible. Would highly recommend it to anyone in our position.

Our experience with Bentley from the very start has been excellent. Every aspect has been dealt with very well and with little fuss.
Viewing was easy, getting a room was easy, moving in was easy and the continued support is awesome.
We are so pleased with how this has turned out and couldn’t ask for
a nicer environment for Mum, who is also very happy in her new “home”.
Dominic was especially helpful throughout.
Bentley House is from what we have learnt a different class from the others around.

The staff have always been so friendly and caring towards all the residents and visitors from what I have seen during my time visiting. Nothing seems to be too much trouble when speaking to the staff, no matter how big or small

My friend visited Bentley House for a 4 week respite unfortunately after having a fall, and I have to say from start to finish the care and compassion that the team at Bentley have shown has been incredible. The facilities alone made me want to move in and I genuinely believe that if it wasn’t for the
care and hard work they put in, my friend wouldn’t be in the brilliant position they are in now.

Nothing is too much trouble at Bentley House. All staff are caring and committed - even knowing every resident's name and cheerfully smiling 'hello'!

My mother lived in her home with my help until she was 89. Sadly there followed a stroke and dementia and we were advised that she should no longer live alone. I researched carefully and moved her to an assisted living apartment in Bentley House, Hertford with the promise of 24-hour care on hand and
help with personal care and everyday requirements eg meals, laundry etc. The facilities were fine but mum was moved to a 5th-floor apartment which we soon discovered was the only inhabited apartment on the floor. Mum became increasingly isolated. Her mental health deteriorated. I discovered sores on her body. She was not showered. They couldn’t manage her medication, personal care or mood swings. Challenging behaviour was met with calls for me to attend or hospital stays. I was soon the only one to shower her. It was clear that Bentley House could not manage Mum, promises were broken, and her care was lacklustre and inadequate. We moved.

Reply from Care Team at Signature Bentley House

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.


We are sincerely sorry that your experience did not meet the standards you or your mother expected, and I'm sure we could have done more to support you both during your mother's stay.


Supporting individuals who exhibit challenging behaviours involves our team working in partnership with the individual's family, external healthcare professionals, and our central dementia experts. We always act on our residents' wishes, including when they want their family contacted or involved in their care, and our dedicated team work hard to manage and resolve an individual’s distress.


It would not be appropriate to go into full detail, but our team worked with you at length to find a suitable solution to address your mother's challenging behaviours and the impact this was having on other residents. We are sorry we could not find a suitable route forward despite the many support strategies that were tried. Whilst we have a dedicated dementia community, we are not able to support the most complex dementia presentations, which require the intervention of a mental health team, and there are other very specialist services that are better suited to this type of highly complex care.


We wish your mother well in her new home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Signature Bentley House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.798 for Signature Bentley House is calculated as follows: ( (350 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 405 Ratings = 4.798

  • b) 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 Signature Bentley House is based on 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2023

I first started working in the care industry at the age of 16 years while still in college, working as a part-time Housekeeper. I started spending more time with the residents and realised my passion for care at a young age. I left college and became a full-time Care Assistant. I spent my first 10 years in care before I decided to go travelling, visiting Thailand, Australia, Vietnam, Malaysia and South America over 18 months. When I returned, I worked for Sunrise Senior Living for the next 14 years developing my career from a Senior Care Assistant to an Assisted living Coordinator, then onto a Regional Care Coordinator which took me into supporting a home and I then became General Manager. I finally left Sunrise Senior Living to take an opportunity with Signature Senior Lifestyle, firstly as the General Manager at Elton House and then transferred to Bentley House. I have now worked in the care industry for 30 years and feel just as passionate about looking after our residents now as I did when I was 16 years of age.

I started building sites from a young age and continued on and off until I moved to the UK from Ireland in 2012. When I initially moved over, I got into the hospitality sector and ended up running restaurants for five years. I decided to get back into construction and maintenance in 2017, managing the maintenance team in a Grade 1 listed, 150-year-old country house which operated as a hotel. I consider myself a hardworking, self-motivated and determined individual who takes pride in their work. I would regard myself as a polite, friendly person who is confident when communicating with others.
