I have just had a wonderful stay at Belmore Lodge. It is so friendly and welcoming. It has been a long time since I have eaten so well. My skirts are now too tight. I have been involved in a wide variety of activities and trips. I never knew a care home could be so much fun.

At the time of his end of life, we were kept well informed on what was going on. We are a large family and many times we were all here sometimes all night.

The staff not only looked after Dad but looked after us too with a constant supply of tea, coffee, sandwiches snacks etc. They even gave us a room to go and relax in and sleep in if we required it. Belmore Lodge completely exceeded our expectations and highly recommend to anyone looking for a HOME!! and a place where you will be cared for. 5 stars?? ????????

I visited Belmore Lodge only once before asking Colten Care to accommodate the lady I act for. I have been extremely pleased with the professional, relaxed way ALL the staff carry out their duties. It starts at reception when all queries are dealt with a smile. Cleaners, carers, caterers, nurses are all brilliant, with the VERY helpful manager co-ordinating things. Entertainment including trips out is all included! Better than a 5-star hotel!

My dad sadly passed away last week, he was only at Belmore Lodge for a few months.For the time my Dad was at the nursing home, until the day he passed away, the staff were excellent. They maintained his dignity and went that extra mile to ensure Dad was comfortable, safe and well looked after - nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you to ALL of the staff, you maintained compassion, empathy and professionalism throughout, you are all a true asset to Colten Care and the nursing industry.

Overall Experience
Very good care was given to my late father. He went to live at Belmore Lodge in March 2017 and arrived from being very poorly in hospital.
He was given months to live and I'm sure with the care he received at Belmore Lodge went on to live a reasonably healthy life for a year.

From the moment my wife was admitted to Belmore Lodge nearly 3 years ago we all felt that we had joined a family. She was not able to do very much for herself but was totally cared for with dignity. The care staff were well trained and made my wife feel how important she was. The food is excellent with a good choice. Visitors are made very welcome and their names and connection are quickly remembered. I enjoy going in to visit her most days - my second home.
