Overall Experience
We just wanted to say a big thank you to you for all the help and advice you gave us before and during Dad's stay at Belmore Lodge. Without you we are not sure how we could have gone forward with his care after a very difficult few months in hospital following his fall at home.

You and all of your colleagues are all very special people and it was a pleasure to meet you all. Belmore Lodge is a lovely place and we were very pleased with all the wonderful care, help and kindness we received. The last couple of days have been a bit of a challenge you could say trying to settle him in back at home together with making sure we have everything in place but we are slowly getting there I think! Needless to say, we are missing you all but we will keep in touch. Thank you again for everything.

Reply from Janie Wilkins, Home Manager at Belmore Lodge

Thank you for your kind feedback. We're pleased the team at Belmore Lodge were able to provide support and reassurance during such an important time, and we appreciate your thoughtful words about the care, kindness and guidance your family received.

Overall Experience
My mother has been at Belmore Lodge for 5 months now. Initially for a trial period, she found the home so friendly and relaxing that she didn't want to return home. The staff have been fantastic in getting to know Mum, her likes, dislikes and needs. I have been so impressed that everyone got to know her so quickly from the reception team to the dining staff, from the companion team to the fabulous nursing team.

It is such a relief to me to know that Mum is so well cared for and nurtured.

Overall Experience

From the moment I visited Belmore Lodge and met some of the staff I knew this was going to be good for my Father as a respite break. It has a warm and welcoming vibe. All areas are clean and tidy, beautifully decorated. Lovely large lounge, restaurant and garden area with lots of seating. My Father was nervous first of all but soon started to enjoy himself. Staff were very kind and considerate. He is very much looking forward to another stay at the end of the year. Couldn't be more satisfied with his experience.

A special thank you to all the amazing staff who help and support my sister-in -law. She has been in Belmore for a long time and has always had fantastic care and support . Even when she is feeling down they chivvy her along and brighten her day. To see her laughing and joking with the carers the other day was so lovely to see. A reflection on how much they care for her .

Brilliant place.

My Dad is so happy at Belmore Lodge and loves all the staff. He has been living here for 3.5 years and has been looked after so well. It helps set my mind at rest knowing he is safe and cared for by the whole team. Recently we have had to make some adjustments to his care plan, Janie and the team have been so helpful and supportive during the process. Thanks to the team for making a difficult situation a lot easier.

Review from J C (Cousin of Resident) published on 11 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Belmore Lodge stepped in to help in a moment of crisis for my elderly cousin, who had had a fall. The management couldn't have been more helpful in accommodating my cousin at short notice. This care and kindness continued while she remained in their care. The members of management were professional and helpful, and went out of their way to respond promptly to her family's requests. The atmosphere in the Home was calm, warm and encouraging, and the staff were attentive and kind. It was a positive experience all round.

Overall Experience

I injured my leg and needed respite care while it healed - it had become infected. I had a wonderful welcome (even a welcome notice in the care park) and was impressed immediately by the reception staff. The comfort and attention, food and whole experience has been wonderful - kind and thoughtful - I am going home soon, feeling rested + relaxed with my leg healed. A memorable experience. Comfort + decor a1! Thank you Belmore.

Review from Martin C (Brother of Resident) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My sister was a resident at Belmore Lodge for eleven months, sadly requiring round the clock nursing care for her terminal illness. The nursing care my sister received was exemplary. Every member of staff was always friendly, caring and courteous to both her and myself, nothing was too much trouble for any of them. My sister mentioned to me frequently during her care, that she had come to regard many of the staff as her new friends! Sadly my sister has now passed on, and on the odd occasion I have visited Belmore Lodge since for whatever reason, the staff are still very friendly and courteous to me.

If one day in the future, sadly I require some form of care, my first enquiry will be placed at Belmore Lodge, I very much doubt I will need to enquire elsewhere!!

Reply from Janie Wilkins, Home Manager at Belmore Lodge

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt feedback regarding Belmore Lodge. We are deeply sorry for your loss and are truly touched by your kind words about the care your sister received. It means so much to know she felt supported and cared for, and that our team could also offer comfort to you during that time. Your trust and recommendation mean a great deal to everyone.

Review from Philip T (Respite Resident) published on 11 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

May I again thank you for looking after me during my 5 week stay at Belmore Lodge. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right knee which caused swelling and lack of flexibility and then I developed a hematoma in the same leg which really reduced my mobility. I was at home by myself (not married) for a couple of weeks with no appetite and unable to walk without sticks. My right leg felt so weak that I was afraid to go outside in case I fell. I decided that respite care was the only solution as I was barely eating and you were kind enough to allow me to stay in the Lodge with you again. All the staff, again, were first class in assisting my recovery and I left on Tuesday in a much better frame of mind than when I entered the Lodge. I am now looking forward to meals (not as good as your chef's who could easily be given a few Michelin Stars) and am now able to walk short distances (I spent yesterday afternoon tidying up the garden) without sticks thanks to the physio I was given

Reply from Janie Wilkins, Home Manager at Belmore Lodge

Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review. We're so pleased you chose to return to Belmore Lodge for respite and that our team were able to support your recovery. It's wonderful to hear you left feeling brighter, enjoying meals again, and able to get back to your garden. Your kind words about the staff and chef mean a great deal to us all.

Review from Mark U (Son of Resident) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

On arrival at Belmore Lodge, one is always greeted by the very friendly and welcoming staff at reception. To be fair, all of the staff are welcoming and friendly, and no request, no matter how trivial, ever seems to be a problem for anyone. The home is always spotlessly clean and tidy, the gardens are beautifully maintained, the food is exceptionally good, and it always has a bright and happy feel. My mother has been a resident there for ten years now, and she is certainly very happy with the care that she receives. She loves the staff and her second floor room overlooking the garden, and despite the fact that she can no longer join in with any of the activities, she always manages to keep herself occupied, positive, and cheerful. If you are considering a care home for yourself or for a loved one, I can highly recommend Belmore Lodge.

Reply from Janie Wilkins, Home Manager at Belmore Lodge

Thank you for such a lovely review of Belmore Lodge.

Review from Jane W (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother recently spent 4 weeks in respite care at Belmore Lodge following an extended stay in hospital. From initial enquiry onwards, everyone and everything at Belmore Lodge was excellent. The professionalism, support, standard of care, attention to detail, personal touch, environment, friendliness and kindness of every single member of the team, enabled my mother to feel at ease, rest, recuperate and rebuild her strength, to the extent that she has now returned home and, for the time being, is able to enjoy independent life again. Family and visitors were always made to feel extremely welcome throughout. Despite initially feeling a little reticent about going into care for the first time, my mother found the whole experience so superbly positive that she's now very much looking forward to returning for a further respite stay (holiday cover) in a couple of months and I'm sure will be back again. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful facility on our doorstep, thank you all!

Reply from Janie Wilkins, Home Manager at Belmore Lodge

Thank you for such a wonderful review. It's lovely to hear that your mother had such a positive experience with us after her time in hospital, and we're so pleased she felt at ease and supported throughout her stay. It means a lot to know that both she, and you as a family, felt so welcome and well looked after. We'll look forward to seeing her again for her next stay.
