Benton House

My mum was a resident at Benton House from November 2016 till her passing in December 2017. The care she received was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble for the staff who treated her with respect and loving care, making her feel loved. The staff were always friendly and chatty to my self and other family members, making us all feel that we made the right decision leaving the most important lady in our lives in their care, I cannot fault this home at all and I would highly recommend anyone who has the hard decision of finding a care home for a loved one, to have a look here. My mum was always singing and always happy.

Daughter of Resident

I cannot find enough words to express how wonderful all the staff at Benton House are. They gave alot of care and compassion to my dad throughout the whole of his 2-year stay. They kept me updated on everything and even made me feel so very welcome whenever I visited, particularly in the last few days of Dad’s passing. One member of staff, in particular, rang me regularly whenever needed, and the nurses and my dad were loved by all there. Thank you so so much for taking my dad under your wing. I feel blessed that my dad was placed there, and in my opinion, there is no better care home than Benton. I fully recommend this care home.
Thank you, Benton, from the bottom of my heart!
