  • Belmore Lodge, Lymington
Purpose-built in an 'arts and crafts' style, Belmore Lodge occupies a stately position close to the historic market town of Lymington, which nestles between the beautiful south coast and the wonderful New Forest.

Residents enjoy companionship and can join in with singing, music, exercise and arts and crafts sessions. There is the opportunity for gentle gardening activities in the summer sunshine, and there is a busy pen pal scheme.
The home is registered for nursing care and staffed by dedicated nurses and health care professionals with extensive experience in caring for age-related conditions and fully trained in infection control.

Designed and furnished with a country house feel, Belmore Lodge offers 55 en-suite bedrooms, a number of comfortable lounges and a dining room overlooking the manicured gardens.

There are also well-equipped kitchenettes on each floor for both residents and their visitors' use. There is a cafe serving tea, coffee and cake and part of this room make up the activities area, complete with games and books.

The home has a unique ambience where it is not unusual to experience a sense of calm alongside the frequent sound of laughter.

Residents embrace the home-from-home setting of Belmore Lodge where their family and friends are regular visitors and social activity, both at the home and in the community is the keynote of life. The focus is one of resident empowerment and autonomy leading to a rich and contented life.

Review from Claire (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 18 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nan came into Belmore Lodge very weak and not eating properly and the hope was to get her back on track. Within one week my nan was eating nearly every meal put in front of her. I saw my old nan starting to come back with her rosy cheeks. She was there almost a month and the change was fantastic.
She has lovely chats with the staff and told me everyday how lovely they have all been.They made her feel so welcome. I would highly recommend Belmore Lodge my nan felt safe and well cared for.

I am so impressed with this nursing home. My mother was in a care home, there is no comparison. The staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. There is a fantastic range of activities and trips. This is an extremely well run home.

This is my mums home and I am very happy that she is happy here. Without the help of your staff and wonderful facilities I do not have to worry about her. I live in Canada and this was a real find and I have recommended Belmore to other friends. Than you all.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for Belmore Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.993 for Belmore Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (283 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 285 Ratings = 4.993
  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 Belmore Lodge is based on 24 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 24 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.
