Meet The Manager
Fiona Benevento is Home Manager at Stokeleigh.
At Stokeleigh, I feel truly privileged to be part of something so special. For me, it’s not just about providing care—it’s about creating a warm, welcoming home where every resident is treated with the respect and compassion they deserve. I take great pride in leading a passionate and dedicated team who share my commitment to making each day meaningful for the people who live here.
Together, the team and I work hard to ensure our residents feel supported, valued, and free to live life the way they choose. Stokeleigh is their home, and everything we do is centered around making it a place where they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
An outstanding care home in Bristol. Stokeleigh is an attractive, late Victorian home that sits within its own secluded grounds, having been conscientiously extended to provide additional living space and a stylish conservatory. Elegant, yet warm and welcoming, the spacious accommodation at Stokeleigh has been thoughtfully redesigned, incorporating many original features, to provide a safe, appealing and comfortable home for our residents.
Stokeleigh benefits from strong management and committed team members, who ensure residents are not only safe and well cared for, but also happy and content. Our trained, compassionate and caring team has created an exceptional residential care home that provides a full programme of activities, entertainment and outings to cater for everyone’s taste.
