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.

Now coming out of Covid, I was very assured and happy that Mum was and still is cared for. She's been in Belmont for 7-years, and we have been kept up to date with her wellbeing. The staff, I can only praise for their dedication and respect they have for my mum and family

I live abroad and knowing that my mother is being looked after tirelessly by a wonderful group of people who also took the time and effort to interact with me while I visited my mother, makes me realise how blessed I am. The staff at Belmont Lodge interact so beautifully with the residents on a one
to one basis with patience and kindness which I absolutely admire and I know my mother is happy, safe and well looked after.
My heart thanks you and I am forever indebted to you all.

Good quality care. Friendly and caring staff. Went above and beyond during lockdown.
The only negative is sometimes the lack of communication between staff members, otherwise, we're truly happy with mums care.

Review from Gill P (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I would like to say there has been a huge improvement in recent months. I have been informed about my Mother being resident of the day on a regular basis. She has been involved in activities and I have seen proof of this in the Facebook page and we have been sent regular updates of what she has been
doing through email. I have been able to whatsapp my Mum and this was made possible by willing staff. Thank you very much! I am now also able to visit inside after a Covid-19 test. She has been dressed well and hair kept tidy in spite of no hairdresser during these Covid-19 times. I have been informed by staff if there has been any physical or medical problem with my Mum, as soon as possible after it has occurred. My Mother was moved to a downstairs room after I mentioned it may be a lot easier for her with her condition and I believe she has settled well into her new room and likes it very much. As soon as a problem with her diet was discovered, this was quickly changed to suit her needs.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.924 for Belmont Lodge Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (268 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.924
  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 22 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 22 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.
