Belong Crewe has an amazing staff. They have been caring for our mum for almost a year in a totally professional and efficient manner. Just as important, they are loving, kind and very generous with their time and energy. We have watched them deal with some very tricky situations with grace and class
and are grateful for everything they do for mum.

I have found Belong Crewe to be almost flawless. I live in America and my mother in Crewe. She started by attending experience days every Wednesday, then got a flat, and then moved into one of the households. At every step everyone has been enormously helpful, both to my mother and to me, they go beyond
and above what we want, are incredibly professional, clean, well-mannered. The place has a wonderful feel to it and everyone pitches in to create a well-oiled machine. I thoroughly, unreservedly recommend it.

Review from John O (Son of Resident) published on 5 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 93 year old mother had become increasingly confused and was hospitalised many miles away after a minor fall. She could not be discharged back to her home as she now needed full nursing care in an end-of-life context. I approached Belong to see if they could help me at very short notice. They were
incredibly helpful and very soon Mum was in a beautiful room at Belong. I cannot praise the staff at Belong highly enough for their care and compassion for Mum (and me!). The staffing levels are very high and all are very well trained. I quickly got to know the group of staff dedicated to the small household in which Mum was resident. Her last days were very peaceful and I could visit and sit with her at any time. I was pleased and amazed that a staff member sat with her all the time during her last hours. I thoroughly recommend Belong Crewe. They couldn't have done better!

My Father has always been treated with respect and given stimulation relating to his interests, even when he attended experience days for many years, prior to becoming a resident. The aided his adjustment to staying and also the friendly welcoming staff already knew him. The standard of care is excellent,
high standard of dementia care, homely atmosphere. The staff of all levels are helpful, approachable and nothing is too much trouble. They offer a second home to relatives encouraging family feeling throughout the clean, well laid out home, supported by the many thoughtful activities for everyone to join in. I cannot recommend Belong Crew enough, it is like a four-star hotel!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very impressed with the "household" set up at Belong. The village is an amazing design with one large building containing apartments, 6 households and other superb facilities.
My dad lives in a household of 10 with open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area. He enjoys going to "the venue" with
a variety of daily activities and I enjoy taking him out to the Bistro all under the same roof. The dedicated team of carers in the household show genuine love and concern for my dad. I would especially like to thank his nursing companion whose prompt action in February definitely saved his life.
This dedication and genuine concern is exemplified by the manager of Belong Crewe, shown by the time and care he gave to my family when looking for the ideal nursing care for dad at very short notice. We wish we had discovered the "Belong Village" 5 years ago.
Reply from Phil Caine, General Manager at Belong Crewe
Thank you for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear that your dad is happy at Belong Crewe and that the dedication of our village staff team is making a difference.

Our mum was a resident of Patriot Household, Belong, Crewe for four years. Throughout that time we have been very impressed by the excellent quality of service offered by Belong from the management at the top, through to the nursing staff carers, cleaners, cooks, hairdressers, handymen, physios, events
organisers. They work as a team, are very dedicated to looking after the individual needs of residents to provide a cheerful welcoming environment for residents, family and community. Mum was never lonely. She was always treated with dignity and respect. Belong carers became like an extended family to mum. With their help, she achieved full recovery from a hip operation aged 97 years! We as family members were welcomed and supported through difficult times at any time of the day or night. We thoroughly recommend Belong as a care home. It has been a joy and still is a joy to visit Belong.

The household staff try so hard to create a home from home environment. Mum is treated with love, care and respect. She has bonded very well with the carers. She believes they are her 'friends'. Nothing is too much trouble - they always go above and beyond in their attempts to deal with Mums ever changing
and demanding needs.
The support they have given me is valued highly. Everything is explained and I can ring and visit whenever I want to.
It's so nice to know that Mum is living in such a happy and safe environment.

Luckily, I only live 5 minutes away from Belong Crewe. I regularly go to the hairdressers. It is not too expensive and the ladies are excellent at their jobs and are always so patient and kind with any of the residents who have various problems. I regularly go for lunch - very good food and not too
expensive.


I and some friends enjoy playing scrabble with 2 of the residents. The activities are excellent eg. darts, keep fit, modelling, outside speakers, bingo, quizzes etc. There is a lovely garden with a water feature, raised beds, lovely plants and shrubs etc. I have visited many local homes and this is the best.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I visited my sister-in-law today as she had a fall a week ago and has sustained injuries to her right side upper chest at the back and is having a hard time with movement at the moment. I also bought her a new dressing gown, the one she has was very dirty with food all down the front. She was sent to
the hospital in it which embarrassed my husband and I.
I asked the staff on bringing her back from the hospital to wash it but two days later when we visited it was still the same, I asked again and it was done by next visit. Surely the staff can see it was dirty.
On my visit today I had to tidy her room and bathroom and the carpet needed vacuuming. I also had to assist a lady to find a chair. I realised the staff were doing a handover but they should have taken over from me as I am not insured to help a client. I feel the staff are friendly but they just seem at times a little nonchalant.

I have been very happy with the way in which my husband was welcomed and settled into the household. He quickly became less stressed than he has been at home, finding the environment less puzzling and the constant presence of staff comforting. Any difficulties or issues have been dealt with in a professional
and timely fashion. The care model is good, care staff are kind and professional. My only reservation is that I believe management could support them better so that morale is maintained and good staff stay.

My temporary stay in Belong Crewe, the nursing and care home, was to determine whether I could manage on my own there, with the difficulties I had been experiencing in my own home, not only "old age" but ongoing "ill health". I was panic stricken and deeply worried that I had to take my son's advice
that I needed help at 96 years of age as I was not likely to improve very much. Happily, during the past six weeks, my stay with the staff at Belong has been very good indeed and I hope to continue. I have been made so welcome, with life enjoyable again, due to their caring and devotion and I have been so comfortable in this beautiful home.

Belong (Crewe) has turned out to be just the right place to cater for my 92 year old mothers needs.
It is a large financial commitment but this relates to the care and attention which is given to residents - a very human place to be living!
Dementia is not easy to live with, or for the person involved,
but to have a happy and contented mother is a blessing at her stage of life!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.879)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.879) out of 10 for Belong Crewe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.879 for Belong Crewe is calculated as follows: ( (381 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 428 Ratings = 4.879
  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 Belong Crewe is based on 36 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 36 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.

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.

Jessica

Jessica Butler

Job Title: Experience Coordinator

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.
