Belmore Lodge

My wife was looked after in an exemplary manner for eight months. All her needs were met. So, despite her initial misgivings about being a care home resident had disappeared and she was very happy and contented. The nursing element of her care was well tailored to her needs and handled a few crises most efficiently. I have nothing but praise for the staff and management.

When my mother was given a terminal diagnosis she made the decision to leave her home and move to a care/nursing home knowing that she would need nursing care at some point in the not to distant future. Having been recommended Belmore Lodge by a friend I made an appointment to visit. It was the only care home I visited, which says everything. I and subsequently my sister and our families were welcomed into Belmore and treated with kindness, respect and compassion. The end of life care my mother received was all we could have hoped for in such difficult circumstances. Losing her independence was her biggest challenge and staff approached her with sensitivity and genuine care, always listening to what she wanted and being led by her. Belmore Lodge is a professionally run and very well led care home with old fashioned values and a sense of pride in what they do. We as a family could never have imagined our mother in a care home and we consider ourselves very lucky to have found Belmore.

All of the staff are friendly, welcoming and caring to both residents and visitors alike and the nursing care and food are exemplary.

We would unreservedly recommend Belmore Lodge and its dedicated staff and thank them for making my mother's later years comfortable, enjoyable and safe.

We have found the staff very supportive when our aunt moved into the home earlier this year. It was not an easy transition and since then she has settled down well. Without exception, staff are friendly and always willing to help. The home has a wide range of varied activities every day and from my aunt’s comments, food is of a high standard. The nurses keep us well-informed and always respond to calls promptly. I highly recommend this home.

The welcome that you receive when you walk in the door reflects the warmth and professionalism of Belmore Lodge. The staff are friendly, kind and professional. The care that my dad received was exceptional. He could not speak highly enough of Belmore Lodge. The decision to move to a care home was a difficult one but after arriving at Belmore Lodge, it was clear that it had been absolutely the right one.

Mum was treated with dignity and respect. She had the best of care from carers and nursing staff alike, who kept her comfortable during her illness. If I had any concerns regarding Mum, they were heard and dealt with. I was given support by the staff during this very difficult time which was much appreciated.

I have been a resident of Belmore Lodge for six months and everything is as excellent as the day I arrived. It is very well run and organised. It has a lovely atmosphere and is very friendly. The staff in all departments are brilliant and nothing is too much trouble. The food is excellent and a good choice is there. I am pleased I chose Belmore Lodge and am very happy here.

I drive past often and feel sad he is not there anymore but also, I miss going in and seeing all the staff who were very friendly to us all. Thank you Belmore.

Belmore Lodge is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a nursing home where their loved ones will be treated with the utmost respect, dignity and unparalleled care. I wholeheartedly recommend Belmore Lodge to anyone looking for a nursing home or care home for a loved one. Thank you.

My mum spent four weeks in respite care in Belmore Lodge following an emergency admission this summer. With this review, I would like to thank all the staff who took care of my mum so compassionately and professionally. From the first point of contact, everyone worked together to allow a quick and efficient admittance. The residents, as well as the staff, also supported Mum with her recovery by both talking and listening and by sharing their stories and experiences. Mum soon showed improvements and then enjoyed joining the activities on offer as well as the food. Thank you to all the team - I cannot recommend you highly enough.

It gave the family 24-hour reassurance that she was in safe hands and that we were always made so welcome during our visits.

Thank you all for looking after one of my dearest clients if ever you need help please call me I so value your dedication.

We placed Mother in Belmore Lodge just over a year ago. At the time her health was in a dreadful state and we were very concerned that the end was near. I believe the care, professionalism and dedication of all of Belmore's staff (cleaners, waitresses, carers, nurses, chefs, management... too many to mention) gave my mother a happy and healthy extra year to her life.

We cannot thank the staff at Belmore Lodge enough for their fantastic care. From the moment my grandfather arrived, the staff made him feel like he was home. The choice and selection of food options were amazing and the quality was the same as a home-cooked meal. The room was modern and spacious and set within lovely grounds. There is never a dull moment at Belmore with their wonderful activities team. There is always something to keep the residents entertained no matter the level of care required. The Belmore minibus excursions are a real treat. Even a simple trip around the forest meant so much to my grandfather. Other trips also ensured the residents didn't miss out on important events such as Remembrance Sunday. The manager of the care home is a real asset to the company. We are so grateful to the team at Belmore for all the love and support you gave both to my grandfather and us as a family. We will stay in touch!

Mum had a birthday this month and we were so happy and even overwhelmed with the decorations in her room, a personalised birthday cake made especially for her - delicious - even gifts! The attention to detail, continuous high energy and professionalism are outstanding. Thank you to every one of the team at Belmore Lodge, we think you are amazing so keep up your fantastic work. If you are reading this, we can highly recommend this nursing home for you or your loved one(s).

A big thank you to staff for getting him mobile again.

Everyone is so kind! Food is excellent! Front staff always helpful.!

My first experience of a care home, recovering from a serious operation. I was welcomed by all and cannot find anything to criticise. I was a resident for seven weeks. The nursing care following my hospital stay was excellent. The decoration in the home lounges and common areas was more like a high-end hotel than I imagined a home to be. The food was tasty and different, I can't remember having the same dish twice. The homemade soups were especially good. All in all, if I have to come back to a care home it would have to Belmore Lodge without question.

My mother was a resident at Belmore Lodge for a number of years. During the later days of her life, as she had problems with dementia, she was at times a difficult resident. Despite this, the staff at all times treated her with love, respect and compassion. I shall always be grateful for the care she received at Belmore.
