Welcome to Belmont House.

Located in the residential area of Starbeck in Harrogate, close to the town Train Station and Springwater School, Belmont House care home is a custom-built, three-storey care home.

The home is divided into five separate suites, spread over three floors. The Courtyard suite provides residential care for up to 30 people. The Garden and Spring Water suites both provide nursing care for 14 people each. The Park suite provides residential care for up to 17 people living with dementia, while the Promenade suite provides nursing care for up to 26 people with dementia. Each unit has a lounge and dining room for residents to relax and enjoy meals.

The home has three dedicated activities coordinators on-site to enable activities to be provided to all units.

I cannot fault Belmont House. My mum is in Promanade Suite and it is so clean. The staff are fantastic they care for my mum as if she was their mum. I'm so happy for her, no concerns.

I went into Belmont House after open-heart surgery as I live alone. I had to self isolate so only saw the inside of my room and the staff who looked after me. I was treated very well by everyone at Belmont House.

Review from Peter (Son of Resident) published on 28 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found that all the staff are very friendly, caring and kind to my mother and treat her with the dignity she deserves. They try their best to meet all her needs, which can be difficult at times! Her medication is always dispensed on time and there is usually a friendly chat to accompany the medicine.
The accommodation is super clean and smells really fresh. The entertainment is appropriate for her generation, she knows and likes most of the songs! Mother hasn't got much of an appetite, even though the food is superb and the carers will tempt her with food such as ice cream, soups or smoothies, ensuring she does not go hungry. Throughout this current pandemic the home has kept up very tight standards of security, ensuring the residents safety and security without compromising their comfort and emotional well-being. We have found the management and staff extremely understanding and sympathetic through some difficult times and we, as a family, are very grateful for their support.

Review from Jane F (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father had vascular dementia, and when Mum could no longer manage to care for him at home, we found a place for him at Belmont House. He was only there a few months and passed away in November. However, during this time, his care was exemplary. We could not visit for much of the time he was there
because of the pandemic. However, the staff were always so kind and when speaking to them over the phone, both Mum and I was confident in the level of care he was receiving. The facilities are excellent as well. A real home for residents.

Review from Andrew H (Son of Resident) published on 18 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother finally went into care suffering with advanced Alzheimer's in February. I had managed to keep her at home for 4 years as this was her wish, however she became unsafe. I felt so guilty as I had reluctantly betrayed her wishes. However, it became very obvious from day 1 that mum was in the
right place with the right people. I cannot fault the home, the management, the admin and the whole staff. They are totally professional, loving, compassionate, hardworking and patient. Now I feel assured that mum is as safe as she be anywhere and I am proud to be associated with Belmont House.
Reply from Chloe Knight, Home Administrator at Belmont House

Thank you for your kind words. I will ensure they are passed onto the suite where Mum resides, as I know this will put a smile on many faces. Thank you so much for sharing your review.

My mum was looked after in Springwater from December 2018 until her passing in February 2020. The care from the staff was wonderful. They were attentive without being intrusive and encouraged and supported Mum throughout, especially when she was in end of life care. They also supported our whole family
during this difficult time. We would recommend anyone in a similar situation to choose Belmont. They really were like an extended family.

Cannot fault the staff, facilities, the politeness by everybody. Cannot do enough. Wish I had found this place the first time my wife went into care. Although she has dementia, she has come on immensely and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

Found all the staff to be friendly, kind and very caring in looking after my wife. Daily activities being so varied enable my wife to be part of the "community". Although she needs help with the physical aspects, this is always on hand.

My uncle is in Belmont House. He can be difficult with some old fashioned values. The team working at Belmont have been excellent, efficient and friendly. They patiently explain what they are doing and why. Security is excellent, On every occasion I have visited the home is clean, the room and toilet
clean. It does not smell like a hospital or of old people but like a person's own home. The communal areas are light and people look happy. Brilliant environment. With thanks.

I always find the staff extremely helpful, friendly and professional. I feel they support my relative and know him well, his likes, dislikes and personality. They also keep me well informed about him.
I like the fact that the home is well presented and décor and change keep it feeling fresh.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.924) out of 10 for Belmont House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 11 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 4.405 for Belmont House is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.405
  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 4.519 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Belmont House is based on 11 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 106 registered maximum number of service users is 21.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.2 = 0.519
  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.
