Dad couldn’t be at home on his own. We’re so glad he moved into St. Benedicts. The staff are caring and understanding towards his needs, a credit to the home. There seems to be a relaxing atmosphere there which he enjoys.

I was a resident with St. Ben’s for almost a year after suffering a stroke whilst driving!

 Initially I spent 2 or 3 days in Wycombe Hospital before being transferred to South Petherton Community Hospital. It was here, over 2 months, I regained movement in my fingers and toes. When less groggy my wife and I requested a move to St. Benedicts as she lives down the road in Glastonbury so could visit me more frequently. Just after Christmas 2021 I moved in.

 Still very groggy approaching Easter, slowly and surely I managed to mobilise even more. I am now at the point I can move the affected leg and even walk with the aid of a frame! Just before Christmas 2022 I was discharged and have now returned home with my wife and a package of care that I hope will taper off as I continue my rehabilitation.

 I got on with everyone at St. Ben’s. I liked the fact that everyone is individual and is a character in themselves. There’s a familial atmosphere there too. Everyone gets on whether you’ve been there for 6 minutes or 6 months. There’s nothing you couldn’t ask of somebody…

 I will definitely be returning (for a cuppa and some cake)and hope to remain a visitor for as long as I can!
