The staff at Belmont Lodge Care Centre are so friendly and welcoming. When we visit Mum it's like visiting a large family. Mum is well looked after and cared for. She is well fed and she loves her food. There is often entertainment to which we are invited too. All in all, we are very happy with Belmont
Lodge Care Centre.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I find it very hard to write about how I feel about my husband living in Belmont Lodge.
I never thought we would live apart until one of us died, but now he lives in care and I can see he is being looked after with kindness and care.
I must say I feel much better that I ever thought I would, so thank
you all at Belmont Lodge for taking care of my husband for me, God bless you all. Many thanks.

Nice clean home for my dad. Friendly staff who are always willing to help and always make our family welcome. Dad is happy as he can be and the food that is provided always looks lovely - lots of variety. I have trust in the care home that they will care for him and meet his needs.

My aunt has been in Belmont Since April 2016. I feel grateful she is safe, well fed, clean and treated lovingly by an incredibly kind staff. I visit very regularly and have never witnessed anything remotely worrying. Belmont's main quality is it's friendly, warm atmosphere.

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.
