My dad moved into Belong from another home, his mental being was very low at this time, since being at Belong he has put a little bit of weight on, he was very thin,, he watches tv in the communal lounge & occasionally takes himself to another house & sits with other people, the staff take good care of him & have a bit of a banter with him, which he likes, the home is very clean & very welcoming, relatives can visit anytime; you don't have to make an appointment.Dad does not take part in a lot of the activities, he's a bit on the quiet side & wont mingle, hopefully he will do in the future, as the staff are always putting on a full timetable of activities, I have my lunch with him 2/3 times a week in The Bistro, family occasionally join us, the food is lovely with plenty of choice, overall very happy with Belong, management & staff.
Thank you for taking the time to submit such wonderful feedback. We aim to maintain high standards at Belong Crewe; we are so delighted to hear this has been your experience and that your Dad is feeling settled and improving since joining us. I will make sure your kind words are passed to the village teams.

My wife has been in the hospital for an operation, for medical reasons I have stayed for 2 weeks. I could not have been looked after better in the Ritz hotel. It has been a pleasure to talk to your staff, and have interesting conversations with the residents. Some have known me for many years as a councillor and my work in Crewe Railway works. Many thanks.
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. It means a great deal to the team here and we are so pleased to hear you have been so happy and well looked after, in Belong Crewe.

My dad was discharged from hospital to Coronation House as a new resident in late November 2024. From the minute he arrived, I felt at ease with the care he receives. For the second time in a care home, Dad has settled in so well because the whole team have taken the time to learn about him, get to know him and tailor his care plan to match his needs, not try to make him fit into the "model". As a professional inspector of care homes in Australia, I cannot praise the Belong Crewe team highly enough.
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide this great feedback which is valued by all the team. We are delighted to hear that your dad's experience at Belong Crewe has been truly positive and that he has built strong relationships with the team. It's a pleasure to have him with us.
The carers are all fantastic with all the residents. They are always thinking of how they can make the residents' lives more comfortable and enjoyable. I'm delighted my mum is at Belong Crewe. Outstanding facility, outstanding people!

My husband's uncle attended Belong experience days and then for a period of respite which culminated in him becoming a permanent resident. My husband and I have been totally happy with his time in their care at all times. We have total confidence in the care team in his house. They are caring and supportive always, welcoming and kind to everyone. He has totally settled in their care. We could not wish for a better life for him at this difficult time in his life.

My dad has been very happy and well cared for in Belong Crewe. The staff are always welcoming and extremely loving towards Dad. I'm very impressed by the range of activities provided for the residents. Dad is always encouraged to participate but doesn't always want to join in. The bistro is an amazing place and Dad and I enjoy going there to chat over a cup of coffee and eat one of their delicious meals. The bistro is a hive of activity and a great place to socialise with others. The accommodation is clean and well cared for. I feel very happy in the knowledge that Dad is being well cared for.
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. It means a great deal to the team here and we are so pleased to hear your dad is happy and well cared for. We do our utmost to offer high-quality services at Belong Crewe and it is so good to hear your appreciation of them.
I wanted to extend my deepest thanks for the incredible 105th birthday celebration your team organised for my aunt. The care, attention and thoughtfulness from everybody made it such a special day. We are grateful for the love and support you provided, not just on milestones like this but every day.

I can't thank the Belong team enough for taking such amazing care of my nan during her final weeks. She connected with so many of the staff members in the short time she was there and taught them all so much too, as she has with her family over the years. It has taken a huge amount of stress off our shoulders, her being taken care of, and given her family the opportunity to make the most of the time we had left with her. Truly appreciate the amazing staff they have.
Please accept our condolences; it was a great privilege to care for your nan and we are so thankful that we were able to get to know her and give her the special attention that she needed and support you as a family. Thank you for taking the time to submit your review and we will ensure your kind words are shared with the team at the village.

Although Mum has deteriorated, we feel the staff have got to know her very quickly. They don't so much care for people, they love them and behave towards them as though they are family.
We are so grateful for Mum getting a place at Belong. We know she is safe and yes, understood by staff.
We would thoroughly recommend Belong to anyone needing care who is seeking a home-from-home.

I have settled in well and after a recent trip to the hospital, I now call it home.

My wife has been in Belong Crewe for almost 12 months and the care and indeed love she receives from the care teamin Duke, and indeed across the entire home, is just incredible. Passing my wife into someone else's care was a very difficult and emotional thing to do and was upsetting for me at the time. This 'guilt' has been all but removed by seeing how much she is cared for in the Duke household. The online portal is a wonderful tool - even though I probably overuse it - as it offers me yet further assurances over my wife's care. I have no hesitation in giving this care home top marks for providing an excellent and caring environment for its residents.
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with this wonderful feedback. Our Belong Crewe team work really hard to ensure a friendly, homely and welcoming environment. We are so happy to hear you are reassured that your wife is in the best care. It means a great deal to our Duke team to know that this is appreciated.
Excellent care home. Gran felt safe and happy here while on respite for 3 weeks. Highly recommend.

I would like to report how happy I am with the care my dad receives on Coronation House. The staff are amazing. They are attentive, caring and action requests made. The staff understand my dad's needs in detail and this makes me feel confident that he is being cared for in the most appropriate way. My dad has been in several care homes prior to Belong and Coronation House provides the best staff and the best care we have experienced. My dad is the most settled he has been since being in a care home and I would like to thank all the staff on Coronation House for their exemplary care provision.
Thank you very much for this lovely review. We really appreciate you taking the time to provide it and our Coronation House team will be delighted to hear that your dad is being so well cared for and is finally settled and happy. I will pass your kind words on to them.

I have seen a positive difference in Dad since the start of his respite stay last month. He physically looks better, he is engaging more socially with others but can retreat to his own room when he desires for quiet time. Staff allow him to maintain his independence but support when required. Dad has attended the experience days for two days a week since last year. Being in respite, he now has the luxury of attending them daily, picking and choosing the activities he prefers and is a regular, particularly at the dominoes club. He is enjoying the food and the option of being able to eat either in the bistro or the households. He continues to extend his stay which is a sign that he is content and for this, I want to thank everyone, I don't believe he could be in a better place. All staff are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble. This really is a place where you want your loved ones to be, they treat residents like their own family. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for such lovely feedback. We are overjoyed to hear your dad is happy with us and enjoying our services. It is wonderful to hear that he is showing such improvement and that you feel he is in the right place. I will make sure your review is passed on to the entire Belong Crewe team.

My friend has been in Belong a while now, her son was also there as well until he sadly passed away. The care her son received was beyond exceptional and the care my friend has received since her son's passing is amazing. The teams they have working at Belong go above and beyond... I visit my friend every day, I've got to know all the carers and residents and feel like I've met a whole new family. My daughter visits on her own and she feels welcomed all the time. My friend is very happy where she is. The activities she does during the day are exceptional and always has something to tell me about what she has been doing (from gardening, crafts and decorating biscuits and many more).
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide this feedback, which is valued by all the team. We are delighted to hear that your friend is so happy at Belong Crewe and that you are also welcomed and made to feel a part of our Belong family.
What more can be said? Staff are excellent, dedicated and very caring and helpful. The home is very clean and modern. My brother has improved in his mental health beyond words since his arrival here. I don't believe he could be in a better place.

Caroline Anthony was appointed as General Manager at Belong Crewe in April 2024, following her five-year tenure in the role of Support Manager, where she consistently demonstrated her leadership skills with compassion and dedication.
Amongst the country’s first graduates for the NVQ in health and social care when originally launched, Caroline’s career took off when she secured her first care job in a local nursing home. Following a brief break, she returned to work, this time for the council, providing domiciliary care in the community.
It was after joining Belong in 2016 as a senior support worker that Caroline began to develop her leadership skills, progressing to Lead Senior Support Worker and then earning her promotion to Support Manager.
As General Manager, Caroline has overall responsibility for all who work and live at Belong Crewe, whether in 24-hour care households or independent living apartments.
She operates an open-door policy and always welcomes feedback from customers and members of the wider village community as we work together to enhance wellbeing and outcomes for all in our care.

Dean joined Belong Crewe soon after it opened in 2011, quickly proving himself a compassionate, dedicated and highly regarded team member. He worked as a Support Worker for 12 years, providing outstanding support to residents while completing both his Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Adult Social Care. Promotions to Senior Support Worker, then Team Leader, followed, and it was during his tenure in the latter role that Dean deservedly won the fiercely contested Belong Champion Award for Leader of the Year.
He continued to demonstrate his dependability as he took on increasing levels of responsibility following the appointment of Caroline Anthony as General Manager. He was appointed to the Village Management Team as Assistant Support Manager in 2023, before being promoted to the Support Manager role the following year. He is currently working towards his Level 5 Diploma in Adult Social Care.

Jane Hughes was promoted from her role as Acting Support Manager from Village Nurse Manager in April 2024.

Nurturing home-grown talent, Belong Crewe promoted Jessica Butler to the post of Experience coordinator in June 2021.
Jessica will work with the wider village team to ensure the provision of meaningful occupation for residents of both its 24-hour care households and independent living apartments, as well as managing the Experience Day programme for customers of Belong’s specialist day care service.
Joining the team as a bistro assistant at Belong Crewe when the village first opened in 2010, Jessica has progressed with the organisation, as it quickly became apparent that her skills in connecting to customers would be highly beneficial in a care capacity.
Belong supported her learning and development to make the transition to becoming a support worker, and Jessica worked under the guidance of Belong’s Dementia Trainer as she took her Level 3 qualification. Jessica soon flourished, showing the perfect balance of empathy and positivity to bring joy and purpose to Belong’s residents and she progressed to a senior support worker.
Inspired by the value added by the Experience Day Team, Jessica later moved across to a role in this service. Already knowing the residents and their needs well, she understood how to create meaningful activities that engaged the customers on a daily basis.

Jane joined the Belong at Home team in 2018 and has made improvements to the service during that time.
Having progressed within the organisation, from the role of Community Support Worker to Senior Community Support Worker, before being appointed to the role of Area Manager in January 2020; Jane brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the role. Jane has previously worked in marketing and has experience in leading teams and performance management. Jane has worked and lived in both South Africa and America and returned to the UK in 2015 after living most of her life abroad.
