... I was going.
I was collected from the hospital and taken through a very nice reception area to a room and I couldn't believe I had my own room with a window onto a quiet garden. It was perfect.
I don't know where I would have gone if not here. The staff were very very special.
I had a buzzer if I needed anything, it was like a little holiday - a lovely place.

... al again. Places like Benjamin Court stop that from happening.
It's a jolly useful place and a huge resource for the NHS.

... ce now. We need convalescence beds here in Cromer, people need looking after.
I have a very high opinion of Benjamin Court and am thankful for the care they gave me.

... r' in the hospital and said he wanted to die.
His physical and mental state declined rapidly in an overcrowded dirty dismal ward...with overworked and demoralised nurses.
One day the wonderful news came that a bed was available at Benjamin Court. His experience there was excellent and after a couple of weeks he was able to return home.
We live in Cromer. Benjamin Court filled the gap between hospital and home.
I dread to think what will now happen to other people in a similar situation to my husband. I am aware that frail and sick people are now being sent home to receive minimal homecare.
The result is that some of them are returning to hospital within a week or two. This would not happen if a rehabilitation bed was available.
We need more rehabilitation units like Benjamin Court, not less.

... he right sort of care that he needed. My father liked it at Benjamin Court and was cared for by a wonderful care assistant.
We live locally so friends and family could easily visit. Also, as he got better we were able to take him home for short visits before he was fully discharged.
This was helpful so staff could see if he could manage being at home and friends could visit him in his own home. My family and I were able to get to know the staff as we were there a lot.
They gave us lots of advice on rehab. Even after my father was discharged we were still told that we could call anytime for advice.
This enabled us to be the best carers that we could be. Local people volunteered at Benjamin Court.
They gave their time to play games which is great for rehab.

... re all just so good.
The nursing staff for my husband were all angels. He was in a room on his own.
It was lovely and quiet, it was so peaceful. It is what he wanted.
It is such a waste for it to close and it takes relief from the big hospitals.

... d physios as well as Occupational Therapists. Nothing could be improved on.
It is quite a big facility. There were 18 beds on the side he was on.
There was a restaurant where I could eat if I chose to. There was a sitting room overlooking a garden and his room did too - there were squirrels there! This will be the first winter without Benjamin Court and the staff are now having to do home visits.
What about when the snow and ice comes? Staff are wasting their time going between houses. Staff are better placed in the Benjamin Court hospital and the patients are too.
It was full when he was there and we had to wait for the bed. And they did palliative care if we needed it - we didn't - but had we, we would have used it.

My partner had palliative care at Benjamin Court. It was superb. I can't speak highly enough of the place. The people of north Norfolk are only getting older and older and which make places like Benjamin Court a necessity.

... my own room which was en suite with my own shower.
The soundings and staff helped me feel more relaxed which speeded up my recovery. They made sure I took my medication even when I didn't want to.
I would like to thank them, they were absolutely marvellous.

... care which is so important for end-of-life patients.
