MY sister appeared to be very happy; she usually is. She is well cared for and has a very good relationship with the staff. The staff are very friendly and inviting, and always find the time to attend to my sister's needs. Her room and general facilities are clean and tidy.

My elderly brother moved here from a larger residential home where he had lived quite happily for many years, but which no longer suited him and where he was displaying signs of distress.
Moving to Belamacanda has turned out to be the best thing for him. Its smaller setting with fewer residents with
complicated needs, gives it a more homely feel to where he was before, and now my brother is much happier and calmer. The staff are all very friendly and attentive, and makes us welcome when we visit.

Reply from Richard Lain-Smith, Head of Marketing and Social Media at Belamacanda

Thankyou for your really thoughtful comments about the care and support your brother is receiving at Belamacanda, we're so pleased he is settled and happier. We will pass your comments on to the staff.

Its a happy home, only thing sometimes is lack of communication about brother feed back of how he is update of appointments and meetings, of his future etc. Needs to be encouraged to do more get out more trips, and someone to talk to, he gets lovely but a great care home overall.

My brother has been a resident at Westfield House for 6 years and I visit regularly, often unannounced. I have nothing negative to stay. The staff are professional, caring and friendly. Management are efficient and approachable. Activities are varied and plenty.
The lack of a downstairs shower room
is a downside for some.
'Well done' and 'thank you' to the amazing staff. You are fantastic!

Our son has been a resident at Westfield House since 2018. During that time he has settled down and matured into a young adult. The staff are always very sensitive to his needs and disability and treat him with great respect. The atmosphere at the home is always warm and welcoming when we visit. Everyone
seems very happy there!

I cannot recommend Mid-Meadows highly enough. My sister has been a resident since 2022. Her age was 55 then.
The whole community is fabulous. She does so much more than she did when she lived with our parents.
From the amazing staff member who organises entertainment and activities to the fabulous
care staff and catering staff, it really is 10 out of 10.
She has a really lovely friendship group with other residents that has made such a difference.

My son sometimes has challenging behaviour and the staff have coped with this well. I am pleased with the professionalism they have shown. I would have liked more success in encouraging my son to engage with other residents and activities in the home but realise how stubborn he can be. He says he is
happy at Belamacanda.

I became a resident last month, I have been made to feel welcome, all the carers and other staff are so supportive, I feel safe here.
Moving to Clacton from Braintree was something I had to do as I wanted a fresh start, plus with my mobility problems, I know that I will get the help I need.
Thank
you Belamacanda.

My son has been a resident in Belamacanda for about a month; he is very happy there. The first time I visited him, there was a very friendly welcome from both residents and staff, superbly equipped and very clean. I quickly got the distinct impression it was like a big family all living under the same
roof. Excellent home.

My husband and I are delighted with the care and support that my brother receives from the manager and his staff. He recently had a stay in hospital where the staff stayed with him 24 hours because he is non-verbal and was very frightened. We cannot thank them enough.

Due to our daughter's autistic spectrum behaviours, she is difficult to integrate socially, but she appears to be settling and we are optimistic that she will become more integrated in the future, as she did manager to integrate while attending day care.

My daughter has been living at Drummonds since July 2022. I’ve never seen her so happy as she is now! The care she receives is excellent. She is constantly stimulated with entertainment and activities. The carers are amazing they really do care. The support that my daughter gets when she has any kind
of health problem is fantastic. Not one negative thing to say about the place.
Thanks every one who works there.
