I enjoy staying and really like the staff.
I have just had a not very nice experience with one of the night staff who wasn't very nice to me during the night.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in saving Mum's life. At the end of September whilst she was in Willow House my mum, unfortunately, suffered a heart attack. The staff on duty were amazing,
I would also like to thank every member of staff at Belong, everyone has made us feel so welcome and it's comforting to know as a family Mum is being well cared for.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Belong.

On discharge from another visit to the hospital, he decided that a more supportive and comforting environment than care at home would be appropriate.
As my Dad was too unwell to visit potential care environments I visited 14 on his behalf
The management team made the process smooth and welcoming which offered further comfort.
The care received has been very positive with standout individuals who became part of an extended family caring for my dad.
As a parent myself, it was a positive environment in which to bring his grandchildren to visit and although not Home, it was a best-fit substitute.
Sadly my Dad passed away this month and I am grateful for the respects that I have received from the team.
Thank you for caring for my Dad.

He was extremely settled and happy throughout his time at Belong. The family could not have asked for or expected a higher, more personal standard
The atmosphere in the house was always calm and friendly. Staff were lovely with him, quickly getting to know him as a person, and treating him with dignity, respect and good humour. They ensured that his last weeks were comfortable and happy.
I would recommend Belong Village, Wigan in the very highest terms - I cannot think of a single area that I would suggest improving.

Gill has led the team at Belong Wigan as General Manager since the village opened in 2009. She is highly experienced and has worked in the care profession for over 25 years, starting her career as a care assistant in a dementia unit. She progressed to the role of Care Supervisor and then to Care Manager in 2000, working at several homes within the organisation. Gill was promoted to the post of Home Manager in 2003 and moved to Sherwood House in 2006, where she moved the learning and development strategy forward to prepare the team of staff for the move to the Belong setting and working culture. She holds the Registered Managers Award, along with a number of other management and training qualifications.
Qualifications: Registered Nurse, Level 5 in Leadership and Management
Experience: Lana moved from Edinburgh in 2002 to complete a nursing degree at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston and qualified in 2005. She worked as a Registered Nurse for eleven years, as a Specialist Nurse in women’s health and oncology.
Lana's goal was to move away from acute care into a social care setting and in 2016 she began her career at Belong Wigan, as a Registered Nurse. She went on to be nominated for the Good Nurse Award at the 2017 Great British Care Awards, before progressing to the role of Lead Nurse in 2018 and in April 2019 she was appointed to the role of Support Manager. Lana has since completed a Level 5 in Leadership and Management and remains a Registered Nurse.
Tanya joined Belong in 2012 as a temporary receptionist and developed her role whilst working toward Health and Social Care qualifications 2 and 3, progressing to the role of Senior Support Worker and later to the role of Experience Coordinator, with responsibility for the development and implementation of a programme of activities for customers living in the village and the wider local community. In 2021, due to the retirement of the village’s long-serving front-of-house manager, Tanya made the decision to move back to the front-of-house team to lead the front-of-house, administration and caretaking teams.
Local community champion, Charlene Frodsham, from Wigan, joined the team at Belong Wigan in early 2021, taking up the post of experience coordinator and working alongside residents and colleagues to provide a creative programme of meaningful occupation via events, one-to-one and group activities.
Initially from a customer service background, Charlene's enthusiasm and cheerful nature prompted her to take on the role of community champion for the supermarket brand Asda. It was here that her talent shone as she organised community challenges and fundraising activities for local groups and charities, including those that provide dementia care and support for adults with learning disabilities. When donating board games to Belong, she was 'blown away' by their set-up, which far exceeded her expectations of a typical care provider. Upon learning about the vacancy of experience coordinator, Charlene was excited to apply, feeling this was an opportunity that she couldn't let pass by.
Taking a leading role in both these programmes, Charlene will be working closely with the residents and providing activities to inspire and delight them.
Qualifications: Level 5 in Leadership Management.
Sophie has worked for the organisation for over 11 years, starting her career as a support worker in the village households. Two years later, Sophie was appointed to the role of senior support worker and quickly progressed to the role of lead senior support worker, before joining Belong's home care team.
Sophie has completed a level 5 in leadership Management and in 2013 Sophie won the Excellence in Resident Handling Award at the Regional Care Awards and went on to the National Care Awards and won the National award. Particular outstanding features included her ability to empathise with residents in their own care planning for moving.
