Dad has been in Bellamie Gables for a few years and is very well cared for. Highly recommended. Very friendly to visitors with a cuppa and a biscuit. Regular phone calls and reviews from the staff. The premises are spotless.

My mother-in-law has only been at Belamie Gables for just over a week. I attended their Christmas party and I must say an excellent job to all the carers and the entertainment was really good too.
My mother-in-law was in good spirits and obviously seems very settled which is good to see.
Thank you
all for doing a great job.

My mum has only arrived at Belamie Gables just over a week ago. As with all families the decision is made with a heavy heart. I have truly felt my mum is in very safe, caring kind hands. When ringing daily to check on my mum I can clearly tell the staff are trying to support and reassure me. I am very
impressed with the organisation as well including all paperwork, medication and being registered at doctors surgery. Thank you for making a hard tricky week a little easier.

My friend is treated with such care and dignity. She always looks clean, smart and clothes matching. She says she feels cared for. Plenty of activities in evidence and a lot of care and energy given to make Christmas enjoyable. The staff know her well and are so patient and I have no worries that she
is not looked after as I would want.

Review from Ken C (Husband of Resident) published on 2 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Belamie Gables is a 'pet-friendly' care home managed by an experienced professional who ably leads a dedicated team of carers.
Since my wife's arrival at the end of June, the entire care team have welcomed
her and made her feel like an important part of the 'Belamie' family. The team offer genuine
warmth and kindness and keeps me appraised of all relevant matters affecting her wellbeing.
Although an older building the resident's private rooms are well-appointed and cleaned regularly. All communal bathrooms and corridors are kept clean and the building is well maintained.
The home receives a weekly visit from a member of the local medical centre with whom they have an excellent relationship.
I have no hesitation in recommending Belamie Gables as a well-run, friendly care home.

The standard of care from staff is very high and compassionate. We have seen them deal with extremely tricky situations in a professional and caring way.
Food quality is excellent and cleanliness good. We never feel our mother is ignored. We are always made very welcome when we visit and are kept informed
of any changes in our mother's needs.

Review from M S (Son of Resident) published on 1 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I live out of the country so can only visit once or twice a year. Always been reasonably impressed with both the facilities and the staff. My only criticism would be that the implementation of new facilities does not always get done in the time promised. Things seem to take a lot longer than originally
indicated, although they do seem to get there in the end.
I find the costs expensive, although I don't believe that's a specific problem in all care homes. The government really needs to step in and make the whole system more affordable.

My mother-in-law was looked after really well and all her needs were met. Her diet plan was made especially for her and met all her requirements. We are very happy with their service and will definitely go back when the need arises.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.468)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.468) out of 10 for Belamie Gables is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.468 for Belamie Gables is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.468
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Belamie Gables is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
