Review from Francesco M (Son of Resident) published on 18 October 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Belmont Lodge was the first care home I wanted to visit, as it is close to me and I was so impressed by the tour we were given, while my mum was in hospital, my wife and I were happy to transfer her here after she was discharged. Putting a parent into a care home was a very difficult, but vital, thing
to do. However, the care required for my mum had risen to a level my wife and I could no longer cope with. Since that time, all levels of staff at Belmont Lodge have been nothing but helpful, professional and approachable at all times, so my mum's care is assured.

The staff at Belmont are so lovely and friendly. They put our minds at ease and reassure us that our relative is being well looked after and cared for. We love seeing all the social media posts of what they have all been up to and we always come to the events they put on as they make such a good effort
to involve everyone!

When visiting, I have found all staff to be caring and thoughtful. The rooms and all areas are very clean, good feel, and are very welcoming. We have enjoyed a wonderful celebration of our Queens Jubilee. The staff arranged it all, resident's family and friends had a great time, with good food and entertainment.

Mum appears happy and content. Her needs are always attended to with the utmost care. The only thing she tends to complain about is the food not always being to her liking.

Our uncle came to Belmont Lodge for two weeks of respite care following an operation. He recovered well and felt supported by the kind and attentive staff. He has limited communication following a stroke, but one week at Belmont Lodge led to an immediate improvement in his speech.

Always welcoming, a safe and cheerful atmosphere for residents. A trying time during the Pandemic but never refused entry given each test witnessed from visitors. A colourful and vibrant programme overseen the activities lady.
Thoroughly recommend Belmont for special needs and their families.

All the staff at Belmont Lodge are so kind, loving and friendly. They take such good care of our loved ones and treat them with the highest respect. They work very hard with stimulating loved ones' brains by playing their favourite music and sitting with them and reflecting on memories in their lives.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.912)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10 for Belmont Lodge Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.912 for Belmont Lodge Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.912
  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 Belmont Lodge Care Centre is based on 19 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
