Belong Newcastle-under-Lyme provides 24-hour nursing and dementia care facilities for 72 residents in six households and 28 apartments for independent living, along with a range of community facilities.
It boasts an extensive village centre including bistro, exercise studio and therapy room and also a unique Heritage Gallery housed in the historic Grade II listed building that has been distinguished throughout the years as Samuel Bell's Pottery, The Old Pomona Inn and most recently the iconic Maxims nightclub, which closed in 2006.
The gallery is integrated within the village centre and links the past and present through shared memories, experiences and reminiscence and forms the base for Belong's Experience Days service, specialist day care for older people.
Featuring Samuel Bell's tea room, a recreated Old Pomona Inn with licensed bar, a reminiscence room, craft and activities room and hair salon with nail bar, the gallery offers a range of activities and opportunities for people to engage with local heritage.

Belong Newcastle-under-Lyme is the third residential home Mum has lived in and the best. She is treated with the utmost dignity and respect at all times by everyone she encounters. I quote Mum directly " I love it here, I feel like I am living again". She is never ignored. Her needs are always attended to promptly. The food is excellent and the facilities are amazing, meeting as many people's needs as I can imagine. If I ever need to be in a care home I want to be in a Belong care home.
Thank you for taking the time to submit your review of Belong Newcastle-under-Lyme. We are delighted to hear that your mum is happy and settled here. I will ensure your kind words are shared with members of the team. Thank you for choosing Belong Newcastle.

Generally very happy with the care and support. The layout of the home is excellent, being new and purpose built. The rooms are all en suite, nicely decorated and bright, all the rooms on the ground floor look out onto gardens. The staff are excellent, very caring, nothing too much trouble. Meals are cooked in the home and individual needs met without being too formal. The home has got a lot busier over the last 6 months and maybe a review of staffing levels would be appropriate. There is still an issue with the laundry.
Thank you for taking the time to review Belong Newcastle-under-Lyme. We are pleased to hear that you are overall happy with your experience and I will contact you directly to address the issues you have raised regarding staffing and the laundry. Thank you for choosing Belong Newcastle.
My father was only a resident for a very short period before sadly and suddenly passed away. However, Belong Newcastle-under-Lyme is a fabulous facility with 5* management and staff. The best of the best!
