My father was assessed to be admitted to Belmont , the assessment was very quick and efficient and was accepted into the care home , the home was very welcoming , clean has good facilities , the courtyard is accessible and is beautiful especially just to have a bit of outside space , even though my
fathers needs have changed and will not be moving in , we want to thank Belmont Lodge for how welcoming they are and how they made us feel in

Belmont Lodge Care Centre

from Aimee R (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 20 June 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

The majority of the staff at Belmont Lodge are brilliant. Unfortunately the care home is run down, has a strong smell of urine and is lacking general upkeep. You are made to feel unwelcome while visiting your family member, visiting stops at 4pm meaning its very difficult to go after work as you are
refused at the door. Overall the care is good but the care home itself is in need of a serious upgrade, there isn't anywhere for you to sit privately with your family member and Unfortunately have to be huddled up in their room. The bedrooms are dated as are the bathrooms - very basic living space. Carpets are dirty as is the floor, which in some places is held down with tape. The garden again is need of some TLC. I would recommend this care home based on some of the staff members but not for the facility itself.

Reply from Amanda Scott, Chief Executive Officer at Belmont Lodge Care Centre

Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry that Belmont Lodge did not meet your expectations when you visited us. We are delighted to hear the positive comments about the team and care standards, but very disappointed to hear your comments about the environment, which is currently under renovation. I am happy to confirm that we don't set time limits on visits and would like to invite you to meet me, the Home Manager, at the home and discuss this, along with your other concerns.

Happy, friendly staff make happy residents.
Treated with dignity, good food, always clean.
Back in August, Dad came home directly from the hospital. With great care, he has improved within two weeks - walking and eating. Now chest infection and falling out of bed, he is being helped to recover again.
Great patience and caring staff.

My Dad was in Belmont Lodge for a short time when he needed 24-hour care and Belmont staff were the very best we could have asked for. Not just caring but loving him as we did. Huge praise for every member of staff, we cannot praise this care home enough. Thank you, Belmont!

My dad was giving up, just sitting in hospital. Bit since he has come to Belmont Lodge Care Centre, he is a changed man, so happy now and all the staff are so good with him, nothing is too much for them. Couldn't think of a better home for him to be in.

Best thing I did for my husband. Can't describe what a lovely home it is. The staff are wonderful, they can't do enough for the patients. It's as if my husband has come alive again. The care is first-class.

Each time I come I'm always so appreciative of how friendly the staff are and how caring they are towards the residents. Most importantly, my grandad only ever has positive things to say - about how kind and attentive the team are and what a nice atmosphere the home has.
