Benhaven is a bit different from most Rest Homes inasmuch as we have a wider range of ages. We have both men and women under and over 65. From time to time we get enquiries about accomodation for couples. We can do this too, but generally only on a wait listed basis. We are happy to take enquiries from anyone, anytime. We will try to accomodate any reasonable request, after all our motto is: "WE CARE AND WE MEAN TO SHOW IT" |
