I can't recommend this care home highly enough.
My Dad just loves the daily activities and trips out in the mini bus that make his life enjoyable at 98 years.
He is allowed to maintain his independence while getting the care that he now needs.
He particularly likes going to The Bistro every day for
his lunch which is a lovely social event with nutritious delicious food.

Our sister came into Belong wigan in October 2025. She has Alzheimers and previously lived in Leeds with live in care. We find she is very well cared for in Willow house and the staff are very caring. It is good that we can come and take her out or eat as a family in the Bistro. It is a very clean
environment and we think we made the right choice in choosing Belong Wigan.

Mum has been in Elm Household for 3 years this month and we cannot fault anything or anyone at Belong. She has Alzheimers and her care has been outstanding. The home is so warm and welcoming from the reception to the households. The staff are amazing with nothing being too much trouble. Mum is
so happy and content here. She enjoys the activities and outings very much and her mind is kept active. We cannot recommend Belong enough.

My auntie had been on one of the households until she passed away with dignity, love and care.
So when mum needed 24 hour care. There was nowhere else I would consider for her.
I wanted for mum what her sister had previously.
When we visit all the staff are friendly and caring. It feels like home
from home. Everywhere is clean & tidy and lots of activities and events to keep everyone entertained. They even have their own mini bus now for trips out. In my opinion there is nowhere better.

My auntie moved into Belong March 24. The care team made her so very welcome and she loved her time here. Her carers 'loved' and cared for her with such dignity, they couldn't do enough for her and us as a family. They went over and beyond what I could only hope for. I would highly recommend Belong
+ all the staff as you'll be in safe hands if you come here!

This year has started as last year ended. Great staff, all friendly and reliable. Really dedicated to their work and make my husband feel content. Belong is the best experience for residents and family.

Belong Village, Wigan has provided faultless care to my mum since she moved into a household about six months ago. The 24/7 presence of the care staff is highly reassuring and every carer takes their responsibilities seriously, getting to know the residents individually by spending time with them to
understand and cater for each person's needs. The standard of care is very high and medical support is available if necessary in the form of onsite nursing staff. Fresh meals are produced three times a day within the household, to a high standard: all dietary needs are catered for and staff are flexible so Mum always gets food, even if she misses a mealtime. A convivial atmosphere is encouraged by the carers and Mum has made new friends and revived old connections since living at Belong Wigan, much to her benefit. A huge effort is put into the provision of meaningful and fun activities, including trips out in the minibus. I highly recommend this home and can't thank staff enough.

I needed one week respite at short notice following the sudden closure of the place where I normally go. I was so lucky to find this excellent nursing home that could accommodate me in Laurel House. I was a little nervous, with it being my first stay, but I need not have worried as the care and
attention I received from all the staff was second to none. I use a ceiling track hoist at home for transfers and here they used a very comfortable mobile hoist which was perfect.
I had a very spacious, modern room with a profile bed and air mattress. It also had a TV, fitted wardrobes, desk, cupboards and walk-in wet room.
Laurel House, like the other five 'houses' at Belong, only has eleven residents which made the lounge and dining area very cosy and homely.
The food was very good both in the 'house' and also in the bistro on the ground floor.
I really enjoyed my respite week and will definitely be going back in the near future. I would have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful place.

My father moved into Elm in March of this year. The care team on this household are excellent and look after him very well. The manager and the staff in all other areas of the home are also very good, friendly and caring. The home is very clean and the facilities are excellent. The activities
provided are good and the residents are encouraged to participate. Having visited a number of care homes in the area, this is definitely the best.

My father has been in Belong Wigan for nearly three years before he very sadly passed away. The care home is excellent, from the receptionists who are welcoming and knowledgeable to the bistro staff who are friendly and provide excellent food.
The care, love and support my father received in Cedar
House was fabulous. My father suffered from dementia and at first, he was very active but displayed classic symptoms of sundowning in the evenings. He liked to arrange tables and chairs in the home which was sometimes annoying but the staff were always on hand to divert his attention.
In his last year, Dad lost the ability to walk and he became "grumpy". He hated having to be hoisted into a wheelchair or turned to be changed. This did not put the staff off, they continued to do their best for Dad.
The staff at Cedar House made our family feel part of the household - they looked after us and gave us emotional support in the challenging times.
I would highly recommend Belong as a care home.

Mum was in Willow House for a year. The staff prioritised her wishes and well-being at every stage of her illness. She was always treated with dignity and kindness and during her end-of-life stage, Mum was given outstanding care, beyond what we would expect. Willow House is a home to the residents
and always felt homely, very clean and everyone was very well cared for. All staff gave highly professional care. Thank you.

Everyone at Belong provides a first-class service to both residents and to their families. The household staff, in particular, are really caring, and nothing is too much trouble. The food provided is varied and nutritious. The en-suite rooms are clean, spacious and well-equipped.
12 August 2024
Mum and Dad were both residents of Belong at the same time. The staff did everything they could to make their stay as comfortable as possible. The carers and nurses were brilliant. Special mention to the manager who helped me resolve many difficult situations involving other agencies. She was very
comforting and compassionate with me at a very difficult and emotional time.
03 July 2024
Our mum and dad didn't have much of a retirement together. Dad passed from MND at 68, then Mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's six years later aged 73. After some time using home care, we thought Mum deserved the best and so found her a place at Belong.
It's a wonderful place, doesn't look like a
typical care home, more like a hotel.
It's spotlessly clean and tidy, inside and out. The staff are amazing and care for Mum so well.
We're so happy to have found the perfect place!
18 June 2024
Many thanks to all of the carers, nurses, and management staff at Belong Wigan, for their outstanding care for my Dad, especially during the last few months when his health deteriorated before his recent passing at the start of Jun'24. We are very appreciative of everything that was done for my Dad,
and also for the amazing levels of support and sensitivity that was shown to our family during the last few weeks of his life.
12 June 2024
The village is amazing and feels like a hotel. The carers must be trained to a high standard because everyone is amazing. My mum moved into nursing care in Nov she is so happy and the staff on Laurel House and the nurses have been so feelful and explain everything so clearly. Thanks everyone who
makes Belong so different.

Having looked after my dad for almost four years, we can't thank Belong staff enough for their support and care during his final weeks. Dad's dementia had seen him go from an incredibly active and lively person to someone who didn't recognise us and couldn't care for himself. Throughout this time,
the only 'bright' spot in an otherwise desperately sad situation was the care, support and standards that we knew Dad was receiving 24/7. Everything from the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the environment to - and probably most importantly - the care was exemplary. Special thanks to one member of staff and her team on Elm House. Thank you so much.

My husband, who has dementia, became a resident at Belong Wigan just a month ago, and we have been so pleased with the attention and care he is being given by the staff in Laurel House. From the first time we visited, we found everyone involved in the running of Belong so friendly and caring, from
reception, the bistro and the household itself, which feels homely and welcoming. There are plenty of activities available for the residents to take part in if they so choose and when relatives and friends visit, they can visit the bistro for coffee or a meal which feels like “going out” to my husband.
We are so happy we chose Belong and it gives me and my family peace of mind to know he is being so well cared for and his needs are being met by all the caring staff.
22 April 2024
One day I hope that all care homes will be like Belong.
The staff are all knowledgeable and caring and put both residents and relatives at ease.
Belong is a social hub for the residents with numerous events to cater for all abilities and needs.
The bistro is the focus of Belong and everyone is
welcomed for their amazing selection of 'home-cooked' food, the bistro staff know all the residents well.
The venue is a great facility and the on-site hairdressing salon is easy to use and convenient.
The carers in each household take care to cook food that is enjoyed by the residents and the environment is always spotlessly clean with capable on-site maintenance staff.
The carers ensure that all residents are as comfortable as possible with strict attention to medication needs.
There is good access to a GP and the on-site nursing team.
There are gardens and children's facilities.
The front-of-house staff and management are highly capable and approachable.
I hope that I haven't left anyone out!
