My mother-in-law has been a resident at St Benet's for over a year now, after her needs increased due to Alzheimer's disease. The manager and all the staff have been kind and caring towards my mother-in-law and us as a family, even in the most difficult times - catering for her individual requirements and happiness. We are kept up to date with any changes and information to the care plan, and are welcome to visit at any time.

My mother's need for a nursing home occurred after a spell in hospital and I was concerned that she would be placed anywhere with space - it was the week before Christmas. As her daughter, I felt immense pressure to find her somewhere she would be happy. Mum and I arrived at St Benet's and were met with smiles and warmth from the staff which was very reassuring. The manager went through the induction and introduced us to other members of staff taking time to ask detailed questions on every topic of mum's needs and likes/dislikes of her daily routine. Fast forward 2 months and mum regularly tells me that she is very happy at St Benet's and doesn't want to leave, ever, even when I offered to look for a new home elsewhere. The manager and every single one of her staff work tirelessly to ensure that all residents are cared for, requests for assistance are met immediately and the atmosphere is relaxed, warm and welcoming, whatever time of day. She's made friends and that gives me peace of mind.

My stepmum came to St Benet's court just before Christmas and has settled in really well. The staff has looked after her and cared for her brilliantly. We can see such an improvement in her health and wellbeing in such a short time of being there. The home is very welcoming staff is always there and happy to help. We couldn't have wished for a better outcome in her care. Keep up the good work St Benet's court you are doing great.

The level of care at St Benet's Court is excellent. The staff went above and beyond and treated my nan with such care and patience. Unfortunately she didn't get to enjoy all of the facilities for long as she became very poorly but nothing was too much trouble whilst she was there. In her last days, the staff were incredible. They treated my nan with such dignity and really cared for us as a family. I am so thankful that my nan was able to be somewhere as wonderful as St Benet's in her final days and I can't thank them enough for everything they did for us.

My grandmother moved to St Benet's Court after living at home became impossible for her. We were initially worried how she would settle owing to her dementia, but we needn't have been concerned. The staff are very caring, hard-working and go above and beyond, the food is great and there are always activities to keep the residents stimulated and entertained. We have the peace of mind that our grandmother is safe, well-looked after and happy.

It's hard enough dealing with the anxiety of an ill relative, let alone trying to find a suitable care home. St Benet's Court made this very simple and were very accommodating. The staff are very pleasant and engaging, all the things I was worrying about I needn't have. Dad settled in and was safe and happy.

I had the pleasure of attending St Benet's Court last year and I was very impressed by how my great aunt was looked after and how friendly the staff were. The home was lovely and clean, the other residents were also very happy. It's lovely to see on social media, the activities they enjoy including the pet therapy. Overall a lovely home with a fantastic team of staff which is rare to find these days.

Mum was admitted to St Benet's in November 2020. This was during Covid lockdown. Unable to visit regularly I was very anxious- however, I was informed regularly of how she was. Mum was given the best care by all. There were several management changes and when the current manager arrived the care and communication increased even more. Unfortunately Mum died in February 2024 but right up to the end her care was amazing and I always felt nothing was too much bother.

My 94-year-old mum received wonderful care. The staff were so kind, patient, and very caring. The home is very nicely decorated and very spacious, the home-cooked food is great and Mum's room was lovely. Sadly she had a stroke so wasn't there for a long time. My daughters and I were looked after so well when we kept visiting Mum near the end. I couldn't have wished for a nicer place for Mum to end her days.

My mother has received excellent care in her time at St Benet's. You always feel you are part of a cheerful and supportive community when you visit. Mum's room is lovely, the facilities are clean and inviting with lots of activities going on, and the food is good. The care staff and management are genuinely engaged with the residents, both caring and professional. Nothing is too much trouble. I have especially appreciated the excellent communication and support with Mum's increasing care needs. We feel fortunate to have found St Benets.

The home is just great - nice and small and there is always a nurse in with the residents and they are so helpful with lovely smiling faces. They send out regular updates and this is great because I feel that I am there with my Mum more often than I actually am. Thanks, St Benet's.

St Benet's Court is an exceptional care home with a level of care for its residents that go above and beyond. My grandmother is living with dementia and I was concerned about what would happen to her, but she's being taken care of well and I am comfortable knowing that St Benet's has her best interests at heart.
12 April 2024
Generally, my mum seems happy and well cared for by the extremely hard-working staff. I would of given 5 stars, but at times when I take Mum out, her appearance could be a lot better. She has come out with odd shoes on and sometimes not dressed for the appropriate season.
12 April 2024
My mum has been at St Benet's for nearly 3 years now after being diagnosed with dementia and I have always found the staff very attentive and helpful with any queries I have... it is always clean and tidy and I'm always in her room with her and that is the same. I am very happy we got her in there and she is happy and always clean and tidy and very well-fed and looked after.

This is a fantastic home, staff are super friendly, communication from management is excellent. It’s really good to see what residents are up to via the social media group, Mum loves the activities and the food she is always happy to return and speaks fondly of her time at St Benet's.

St Benet's Court looked after my aunty for the last two years up until she passed away in September 2023. She was suffering from dementia. I received nothing but the best service and communication from this care home during this period and on the occasions of visiting my aunty the surroundings seemed very nice and clean. I did not have the opportunity to visit her room, so I cannot comment on this. The home is located in a lovely quite area. The monthly charge was extremely reasonable and not expensive compared with charges my friends are paying for their relatives.
09 August 2023
The staff were lovely and it’s obvious that they really care. They go above and beyond their job role. It was always clean and tidy. The food looked great and there was plenty of choice. I would highly recommend this place for the lasting care of a relative.
