Review from J P (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father spent about 3 months living in Belmont care home.
The team of staff at the Belmont were very caring and friendly and my Father very much enjoyed his time there. He especially commented on the food.
When we first visited we were impressed with how the rooms are laid out, all on one floor
as it allows residents to see each other and feel included.
We want to thank the team and also recommend the Belmont to anyone who is looking for a care home with a homey feel.
Thank you.

My mother was a resident between 2nd September 23 - 9th Sept 24 in this time both mum and I were very happy. and felt part of a big family residents and staff. I have carried on visiting the home to see friends we made. Sadly things changed from the end of Sept. No management or administration and the
atmosphere became strained. However mid December a new manager came and things started to improve. I love Belmont and would move in tomorrow if I had to they made my last 12 months with my mum memorable. Its not perfect but its home.

Review from Elizabeth C (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 21 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've now had three grandparents in this home within the last eighteen months, each with different physical and/or dementia care requirements, and I cannot express my gratitude for the staff more. I have noticed that the staff always work tremendously hard. Most importantly, they are kind and can't do
enough for the residents, so professional yet warm and gentle. My grandparents have grown to love some individual staff members like family and we trust them implicitly. There are daily activities or entertainers, delicious meals and friendly faces everywhere. The carers, laundry team, cleaners, cooks etc., are all so accommodating and helpful. The staff make this care home and I would definitely recommend it for this reason.
Reply from Matthew Watson, Manager at Belmont
Many thanks for your fabulous feedback and I am really pleased that you are happy with the care provided at Belmont. I will certainly pass this on to the whole staff team.

During these troubled times and staff shortages, we are still receiving the best care possible. The restrictions are affecting everyone, and it is difficult to keep upbeat all the time but also have some laughs. The staff are wonderful in spite of working long hours and being exhausted.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We are proud to have very committed staff who love their job and the residents. I will pass your kind words to the team.

Our care home is very busy with over 40 residents. There is a good atmosphere and the carers are very helpful, and we have a very good cook. We are being tested every day during the pandemic; the downside, we have no visitors.

Review from Susan (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father came to Belmont on recommendation from a friend whose mother had been so well looked after at Belmont. My Dad settled straight away and soon made good relationships with his carers. Our experience of the staff at Belmont is always excellent despite the challenges they face looking after him.
They are professional, kind and obviously care a great deal about him. Our family are so grateful that he has his 'family' at Belmont, especially in these difficult times of lockdown and not being able to visit him to keep everyone safe. Thank you, everyone!

Review from Gary N (Son of Resident) published on 28 April 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Belmont looks after my mum and being one of three sons, all now no longer resident in Lancashire, it is reassuring to know that she gets such good care. The manager and staff are top-notch - professional, caring and mindful of individual resident requirements. They also support our dad around any concerns
he has relating to his wife, who has now had to be in a care setting for a number of years. I do wish everyone well in the current challenging times and hope that all in Belmont are managing with the additional challenges that the current pandemic has brought to our country as a whole.

The care home looks after my wife to a very high standard. Whilst I live 17 miles away I cannot attend as often as I would like, but I telephone the staff most days. They are very considerate and provide with a huge peace of mind knowing my wife is being cared for so well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I find the home superb in a number of ways.
My mother has just been there a year now and looks far better now at 89 than this time last year.
She is eating well and is very happy in the moment, as her memory is not the best.
The home provides her with a lot of entertainment and activities that I
thoroughly enjoy.
I now plan my day around "What's on at Belmont"!!
So I cannot praise all staff enough as I find everything fine.

Having had a relative in Belmont for the past 9 months we have found that the standard of care has been excellent.
The resident has settled in remarkably well, made new friends and is extremely happy.
The staff are all very helpful, friendly and approachable.

Review from Margaret H (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident in Belmont for the last twelve months.
Admission to care became necessary when her ability to function in her home, despite several visits a day by family, due to short term memory loss, confusion, unsteadiness etc
Since her admission, despite her frailties we have seen
how physically well she has become and how much happier and positive to wanting to live.
This is obviously down to the very high quality of care she is receiving, being well-nourished, clean and tidy, stimulated by conversations with staff and fellow residents, entertainments and outings.

My mum has been a resident at Belmont since March 2015. She suffers from Alzheimer's and despite not being a care home the staff have been wonderful, caring and understanding as her illness progresses. The food is excellent and there are plenty of activities to get involved in. Mum is in the best place
she could be in the circumstances and I have peace of mind that when I'm not there she is well cared for.

I cannot praise Belmont Care Home enough for their genuine care and support. The staff were very friendly and dedicated, the food was excellent, the rooms were kept clean and tidy and the entertainment was well thought out. It was really made to feel like home for my mum, the happiness of the staff

Staff always very friendly and helpful. Mum is very difficult as her dementia is severe now and she can be quite violent.
I have absolute respect for what they do and put up with.
The manager is a lovely lady and the office administrator is very friendly and helpful.
Mum has been there for five years
and has been well looked after and is very at home there.
I would highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.479)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.479) out of 10 for Belmont 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 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 4.696 for Belmont is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 46 Ratings = 4.696
  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 3.783 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Belmont is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.8 = 0.408
  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.
