Review from Paul C (Son of Resident) published on 23 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
During the month, the staff continued their great efforts in making the residents' lives pleasant and comfortable. A lovely Christmas lights switch on with carol singing early in the month, a Christmas party with a guest singer and a trip to a local garden centre made Christmas wonderful.
On Christmas
Day, I enjoyed lunch with my mum which was of the highest standard.
All in all, The Belvedere is a lovely place for my mum, where they understand her dementia extremely well.

The consistent care of the staff is fantastic, their unwavering attention to the residents and good humour are an absolute credit to the staff. We have a new manager now and her commitment to the home is exemplary.

Review from Christine C (Sister of Resident) published on 27 June 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The new manager is putting in place many improvements that can be seen and ensuring that residents are at the centre of all changes. The home is a much happier and more positive place, after the inaccessibility during Covid. Staff seem to be increasing and show care for the residents. In the past, I
felt the home was understaffed and the place looked unloved. My sister has always seemed happy and cared for although under last management, many personal things were lost (eg. teeth, glasses and pants) and enquiries by the family were not dealt with.
Reply from Jackie Hirst, Marketing at The Belvedere

Thank you for taking the time to review. We are continuing to improve the service and very glad to hear that you have seen the improvements. Our management team has an open door policy for families so if there is anything you would like to raise, please feel free to see email or ring the manager or deputy manager and we will be happy to help.

I cannot praise this home enough. The standard of care is excellent, my mother is a resident there and has been for two years. The standard of communication is excellent. Even through Covid times when we couldn't visit, we had video calls and plenty of updates. The management and staff there feel like
family and nothing is too much trouble. I would not have my mother go anywhere else, she loves it there and has come on in leaps and bounds since being placed there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was admitted to The Belvedere during Covid in June 2020. He suffered from Parkinson's and dementia and the staff were amazing. Within days, we knew he was going to be in good hands and we were not disappointed. Despite all the additional problems they had to cope with, we were always kept
informed and updated. Sadly, he passed away recently and on behalf of all the family, I would like to thank the entire team for taking care of him, I would not hesitate to recommend The Belvedere as the perfect home for loved ones who suffer from dementia.

Review from J O (Next of Kin) published on 1 June 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a succession of short-lived managers, The Belvedere has been held up only by its host of dedicated carers and nurses, an absolute credit to the home who have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic. The most recent CQC report awards a ‘good’ for the care and an ‘RI’ for the leadership. I think
this has been an accurate reflection and would agree with this rating. If the trajectory of recent improvements continues then I would anticipate Good/outstanding across the board. In addition to the superb care team, the home now has a wonderful new manager, supported by a fabulous deputy and friendly admin support. The home finally feels like someone at the helm cares. Communication has improved exponentially, and there is now a buzz of positivity. From a relative’s (and I’m sure my mum would agree) point of view, the new manager’s obvious passion for the best in dementia care is an absolute joy and relief.
Reply from Jackie Hirst, Marketing at The Belvedere

Many thanks for your beautiful and thoughtful review. It’s a pleasure looking after your lovely mum. Look forward to seeing you again at The Belvedere soon.

Review from L K (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 December 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother entered The Belvedere in July of this year after being in a nursing house for five years with full dementia; the nursing home closed down. She was welcomed in, and it was straightforward. She is well looked after. Any concerns, I am informed of. As far as activities are concerned, I am told
this all happened, but I've seen no sign of any when I have visited, and these poor people need all the motivation they can get.
Reply from Jackie Hirst, Marketing at The Belvedere

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the feedback provided to the care we provide.
In regards to the activities, I can reassure you those are taking place daily.
We have a blog where we post weekly pictures of some of the events taken place in the home that week. The blog is accessible on the Belvedere care home webpage under news and events.
We are also putting in place an activity folder that will be displayed in the reception with pictures of the events we’ve provided and the engagement of our residents.
Our activities coordinator is now engaged in Christmas decorations engaging all residents in the festive time.
Kind Regards.

Wonderful visit today to see my auntie for the first time in months. Excellent support and testing to make the visit safe. The staff are amazing. My auntie has been so well looked after both physically and emotionally. Looked so comfy and relaxed and made my Christmas complete. All the staff do an amazing
job. Thank you so much.

My wife has been in The Belvedere three months and my overall impression is that she is well cared for by professional and caring staff. I feel she is safe. The nurses are excellent, always having time to tell me about my wife's condition, mood and general health. The carers too always know about my
wife.

My mother was a resident in The Belvedere for six years until her death in September this year. Neither my sister or I lived locally so our visits were quite spread out.
We were pleased to leave mum's care in the hands of the staff, confident she was in good hands. Unfortunately, we couldn't be there
when mum died but they didn't leave her and she didn't die alone.

The staff have been friendly and helpful since my father has moved here. They have a good understanding of his needs and hoe to meet them. I have found the staff to be very informative and they have very good attention to detail. It gives me peace of mind to have my father here as I know he is well

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for The Belvedere is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.483 for The Belvedere is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.483
  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 The Belvedere is based on 21 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
