Review from G S (Respite Resident) published on 29 October 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Designed for purpose. No steps. Room easy to find. Very helpful staff, east to call. Adequate food and drinks, comfortable chair and beds.
Lighting fair - not always easy to read unless sitting near window.
The table in my room was rather unstable. Given need, I will choose this care home before
others I have used.

The manager and staff take amazing care of my Dad. He has been there for over 18 months and I am impressed with the care he has received from the management, care staff, housekeeping and catering staff. They are very friendly and helpful and have helped Dad and me and my sister through some difficult
times. I am very pleased we found this care home for Dad.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Belvoir Vale care home has been the best possible place for our Dad. He has truly wonderful care from all the staff and team members. Management is so kind and caring plus accessible. There's so much love in the air. You hear reassurance, kindness and giggles around as you visit. Everyone works
so hard on everyone's behalf. Every time we raise a query it's handled well. Everyone is responsive to Dad and knows him as a person. His condition means it can be taxing at times and yet he receives constant caring and loving attention. He's a gentleman at core and it brings out the best in him. We've been even more impressed and grateful during this Corona Virus situation. We are so grateful to the staff for all they've done and are doing. We feel so lucky that Dad is being cared for here. Amazing place.

While the coronavirus crisis is happening, I am unable to visit mum and this is a good thing. The home is keeping us informed of how they are doing with weekly emails and this is very reassuring. I would like to thank the dedicated staff for this, as it means I can be in lockdown without worrying about
her.

Belvoir Vale is just lovely! When you walk in it is more like a country hotel than a care home - with definitely no iffy smells. The staff are all kind, friendly, gentle and very good at their jobs. The chefs produce varied and nutritious meals and cater for individual tastes. Activities are numerous
and entertaining. My brothers and I are happy that mum is happy here.

Dad was at Belvoir Vale for 10 weeks and during this time we noticed a marked improvement in his general condition. The staff were kind, respectful and caring to him and to us. They encouraged him to eat, mobilise and join in with activities. At the end when he suffered a series of seizures they dealt
with this with appropriate speed and compassion. Huge thanks to all the team.

Our dad spent two very happy years in Belvoir Vale Care Home. The staff were outstanding and always ensured that he was fully and properly cared for. The CEO is excellent and creates a warm, happy and welcoming atmosphere which transcends to all the staff and residents. As visitors, we were able to
come and go freely - we felt part of 'the team'. I strongly recommend Belvoir Vale. Thank you to the manager and the staff for all that you did for our dad.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 99-year-old grandmother needed respite care after an illness. The manager was very accommodating and made arrangements for her to go to the home that very day. All the staff were very welcoming and made you feel nothing was too much trouble. They were particularly helpful in meeting our needs. I
would have no hesitation in recommending this place - it was very safe and secure, clean and friendly. Everything was of a very good standard, including all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
With my lovely mum being 90 years old and suffering from dementia and severe arthritis, caring for her at home was no longer an option and yet I needed to find the right place, where I felt confident that I could relax and know that mum would be safe, well cared for and happy. I knew when I walked into
Belvoir Vale that this was the right place to bring my precious mum to live. It is all on one level and she had a pretty room where I was able to bring her own treasures. The food is all home cooked, laundry is done to an exacting standard. Staff are kind and cheerful, understanding my mum's sense of humour and quirky ways. There are lots of activities to fill the days and much fun is had by all. It's true to say they gave me my mum back so I was no longer just her carer.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has been cared for at Belvoir Vale for 10 years 11 months until her death earlier this month. I cannot praise more highly the care received from all the staff including the cleaners, maintenance man, office staff as well as all the carers. It is more like a home and all the staff are very
approachable and were concerned for me in addition to my sister's needs throughout her stay.
Despite being bedridden she was turned regularly and did not get bed sores, which says a great deal for the care she received. I cannot recommend it more highly.

Good to have dad assessed at home prior to respite, all lifestyle information given. On returning home dad had obviously hadn't been walking much as he was very stiff and both legs were swollen up to his knees. They were aware that dad lived as independently as possible but it appears that he had not
been encouraged to mobilise. Dad reports that he had a lovely holiday and had enjoyed being looked after, perhaps a bit too well.
Reply from Francesca Walker, Sales & Marketing Coordinator at Belvoir Vale

Thank you for your kind review and we are so pleased that your father enjoyed his stay with us at Belvoir Vale. He did walk daily to the dining room and lounge areas, but also enjoyed his rest in an afternoon, which we had to respect his wishes. We would welcome a meeting with yourself to go over any concerns or issues you have raised.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.695)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.695) out of 10 for Belvoir Vale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.695 for Belvoir Vale is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.695
  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 Belvoir Vale is based on 13 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
