Excellent, caring staff and management treated my dementia suffering wife with compassion and love, ensuring her dignity and comfort were maintained at all times. They were understanding of all her needs and of my grief as her mental condition deteriorated from Easter and could not have been more considerate towards the concerns of the family at a difficult time. Her seven months stay at the home until her passing were comfortable, her room was clean and warm, and the carers - day and night staff - were attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and always on hand.
Thank you for your kind words. We feel truly privileged to have cared for your wife and supported you through such a difficult time. We especially enjoyed being part of those special moments before her health deteriorated, including her final dance with our Elvis act, helping us wrap the Christmas...
From the moment you walk through the door, you can feel the warm, friendly, family atmosphere. It is a family-run home, and that really shows in the way the staff care for the residents. They don't just look after them - they genuinely treat them like part of their own family. The staff spend so much time with my auntie, and it is clear they truly care about her happiness and wellbeing.
One thing that has particularly impressed us is the food. My auntie is a very fussy eater, but the team have always been willing to adapt meals to suit her preferences and needs. Nothing ever seems too much trouble, which makes such a difference. Unlike some places where residents are expected to simply accept what's on the menu, the staff here go out of their way to ensure she enjoys her meals.
Most importantly, my auntie is genuinely happy there. Knowing that she
Thank you so much for your kind comments. Your Auntie has such an infectious personality and lights up every room she enters and just brings pure joy and happiness to the Bellstone. Absolute pleasure to be around and to have as part of the Bellstone family.
Fantastic professional caring staff. Homely feel. staff treat residents as family. Dignity is kept at all times even when a resident can be difficault. Lots of activities to do. Lovely garden to sit in. Family always welcomed and drink always offered.
Thank you for the lovely comments. We are very proud of our staff and blessed to have such a wonderful team. Comments like this go such a long way and I know that they will appreciate your kind words.
I am very happy with the care that my handicapped brother Peter has received and continues to receive. From the first evening he has been happy and that is down to the quality of care he has received.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Your brother has such an infectious personality and is by far the best dancer in the Bellstone.
All the carers are so kind and give gold standard to the residents. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Families are welcomed and looked after very well.
Thank you for your kind comments. The staff will be so pleased as they really do work hard and never stop smiling. Your Auntie is so lovely and a pleasure to care for. Such a kind, caring person, and of course a cracking sense of humour.
Mum is encouraged to take part in activities and has made some friends among the residents.
I am always impressed with the staff, they are caring & friendly & genuinely care for the residents. It is a relief to me to know that Mum is looked after so well.
Thank you for your lovely comment. We are so pleased that your mum is happy and making friends amongst the residents. I will pass it on to the care team.
My mum moved into Bellstone Care Home in Elixstowe just 2 weeks ago. From the minute she entered the building every single member of staff has been incredibly kind, helpful, friendly and supportive. This is not only true for Mum but everytime I go they are amazing to me too. Nothing is too much trouble and she feel extremely happy.
Thank you for your kind review. We are very happy to have your mum with us, she is lovely and has a great sense of humor. We will inform the carers of your lovely review.
I am pleased to tell you this home away from home was a bit of a treat. I didn't plan for it all just accepted it and made best of it. I was treated friendly and I felt it was a pleasant experience
Staff and management are amazing, keep us in the loop with things regarding Mum. Kept spotless, would have no problem recommending Bellstone.
Keep up the good work!!
We are extremely happy with the care mum receives at Bellstone Residential Care Home. It is very comfortable, a home from home environment. The staff have mainly worked there for many years, there is good humour and chatter amongst the residents and with the staff too. Entertainment too regularly - Elvis is the favourite!
My working career was in housing including services for older people. When I first walked into the Bellstone three years ago I immediately felt the love that is there and I knew that my mum would be well cared for. Three years on and initial instincts have proven to be correct. Firstly the team that were there then are nearly all still there now, which speaks volumes. I visit almost daily and I see how dedicated every single member of staff is. My mum is surrounded by people who care for and love her which means so much and I simply cannot fault the Bellstone.
I feel very humbled to have my mother in the best home in the area, thank you Bellstone Felixstowe.
Thank you from all the staff, management and owners of the Bellstone. We take great pride in having such a loving and caring team. We are so pleased your mum has come to the Bellstone and has already become a part of the Bellstone family. Thank you kindly for the lovely review.
Caring staff.
Excellent food and help with feeding as appropriate.
Provision for family to visit, with young children at times.
Medical concerns attended to promptly.
Thank you for your kind review. It is a pleasure to have your mum as part of the Bellstone family.
My godmother (my mother's cousin) is very happy to be at Bellstone. She has been cared for very well over the last 6 years. She will be 95 this month and still quite happy to be cared for. I visit most weeks with my partner of years and we all get on really well.
As always we value your opinion highly, your godmother has been with us some time now and is still an absolute pleasure to be around. Thank you for taking the time to submit your review.
At first, he was very reluctant but the care and patience of the staff has won him over. He now wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
We thank you for your kind comments and taking the time to submit your review. Your dad is a well-respected member of The Bellstone family. The care team love to sit and listen to all the adventures he has been on. He is lovely and great company.
I could not wish to have come to anywhere "better" I do hope I can "end" my days here. I could not ask for anywhere being "in every way". A very happy lady living here.
Thank you for your kind comments. You are a ray of sunshine and a lovely person to be around. We are so pleased you like it here with us and we will continue to do our best.
Dad has settled in well thanks to the very helpful and friendly staff.
Thank you for your kind review. Your dad is a lovely man and he really enjoys ice cream on the beach on a Friday afternoon. He has most definitely settled in nicely.
Excellent care home, with wonderful staff who are caring.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Your mother in law is a lovely lady and a pleasure to care for.
My mum has been a resident for five years and five months, and she is very well looked after. They made every day a pleasant experience for mum like she was one of the family. The staff are always friendly, helpful and caring. They go out of their way to make life fun. Catering and cleanliness are always great. Unfortunately, my mum is at the end of her life, but they are making things as comfortable as possible for her and us. We will always have a fond place in our hearts for Bellstone, as mum has been very happy.
Your mum was such an amazing lady and loved by all. I speak on behalf of all the carers and staff that she was an absolute pleasure to care for and most definitely considered part of the family. Her dancing, cheeky wit, singing and effortless ability to make anybody smile as soon as you enter the...
Bellstone is a lovely family-run home. They look after the residents really well. They treated my mum really well, very caring, lovely food and entertainment.
