My Mum passed away recently following many years at Belvoir Vale where my father had also been a resident some time before.The Care is excellent and the staff have much empathy and compassion for the residents.There is very much a Team environment and good communication.
The Home is not standing still
as it is always looking at improving systems, listening to relatives and residents.This is clearly seen within the Activities programme.
Thank you for making my Mum's last few years enjoyable and comfortable.This was her home.

My Mum spent five happy years at Belvoir Vale where she thrived. After a couple of respite visits she took the decision to move to the home permanently. Mum quickly made new friends and thoroughly enjoyed all the amazing activities that the home offered. She had dementia but with the move to Belvoir
Vale she was able to relax and she no longer had to worry about the pressures of daily life. Belvoir Vale is extremely well led and all staff go above and beyond in everything they do. They work brilliantly as a team and are highly valued which is clearly reflected in their happiness at work. The standard of care is outstanding and staff all have a great knowledge and understanding of the residents. Everyone is treated as a family member and with compassion and dignity. The rooms are gorgeous and furnished to a high standard. The food is freshly prepared and the residents are given plenty of choice. The home is in a great location set in well maintained beautiful grounds.

Mum was at Belvoir Vale Care home for a couple of years. We can't fault them, staff always amazing, kind & considerate.
Lots of activities for her to join, mini bus to take residents out. The room was always clean. Very pleasant environment.
Very inclusive for friends and family with regular
meetings to discuss concerns & changes.
We'll miss not going into see everyone.
Thank you again

Mum is battling Alzheimer's and has been for over 5 years. We've just had her first respite (one week) at BV's dementia unit. I visited many homes before making a decision including large brand new businesses. BV is highly resident-focused, caring, kind, and clean. Mum has put weight on and enjoyed
3 cooked meals/day plus copious drinks and biscuits! She's come home much more mentally alert and is also cheerful - an improvement from pre-respite. Thank you to every staff member who helped us from day one (The two men from Maintenance -moving room furniture around for safety) and to one staff member in particular for helping with baggage on leaving. BV's care staff showed only patience and dedication. A couple of issues I highlighted were dealt with promptly and in full.

Right from day one everything was all we could have wished for.
Nothing was too much trouble and we were kept informed with everything that was happening. All the staff without exception seemed to be focused on one thing, the welfare and comfort of the resident and for that we can't thank them enough,
knowing Dad was getting all the area and attention he needed meant so much. His older brother actually said we always had a fear of care homes but now we have seen this place that fear has gone. Dad was only in for just under 3 weeks but in that time all we can say is thank you for your amazing work in making him comfortable to the end.

My father has only been here for one week, but in this time, he has enjoyed and settled down to his new life. He thinks he's in a hotel. The food is not bad - missing my food, he tells me! Loves the view from his window (the garden), but, still early days. Thank you for having him; he's a kind, sweet
man and will not bother the staff in any way.

My aunt has been a resident at the Belvoir Vale care home for two years. During that time she has received excellent care and attention. The staff are simply superb and care about every individual in the home. The organisation and professionalism of the management is exceptional, particularly communication
and meeting the needs of family members visiting the home. We cannot praise the home highly enough. My aunt hopes to spend many years in the home and we will continue to enjoy visiting her.

My mother moved to Belvoir Vale Care Home four weeks ago. Initially she was very anxious and needy, but by the fourth week she was more calm and settled. The staff had got to know her and found that she needed to be distracted and occupied, especially with music. This has been very comforting for me
knowing that she is in good hands. I ham sure my mother is living at the right place for her needs and managing the dementia.

We could not fault the staff. Everyone was considerate, careful and always keen to treat Mum as an individual and accommodate her wishes. We were saddened, therefore, to have to make the decision to move Mum to another care home that is more accessible for her friends and former neighbour to visit,
especially those reliant on public transport. We would not hesitate to recommend Belvoir Vale to other families. Thank you for everything.

My mum moved into Belvoir Vale in November 2021 and passed away there in February 2023. I am so, so pleased I found this care home for her to live in. It is a homely and comfortable place, with nice rooms and a garden and wood nearby. The staff were very attentive, caring and helpful and Mum and I enjoyed
the time there, and going out together to nearby cafés. Care was always good, and in the heatwave of summer 2022, the staff did everything they could to enable residents to stay cool and hydrated. The needs of individuals were put first, and care included outings, games, exercise, entertainment and religious input for those who wished this.
I would also like to commend the staff's support of relatives like myself, who are coming to terms with the loss of their loved one to dementia, as well as their ultimate death. Support and information were given, arrangements were made to see the home's GP and intelligent input was given over end-of-life care decisions.

My aunt became a resident at Belvoir Vale at very short notice following a fall and subsequent discharge from the hospital. The management is very empathetic and understanding. The care my aunt received for latter-stage dementia was reassuringly good. Some members of the team were excellent and went
the extra mile in terms of kindness and care. Following my aunt's death we were treated again with much kindness and respect.

Our mother needed some quality food, attention, physio and care after a broken femur in December. Finding Belvoir Vale was just amazing. We are very pleased with her care, all the team are beyond brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble. We call and speak to Mum on the phone if we don't have time to visit,
I feel bad calling when everyone is so busy, it's never a problem. Attention to detail is remarkable. Mum even has poached eggs on lovely toast for breakfast, in her words, better than she would have made herself! Well done team, Mum is getting stronger every day.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.857)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.857) out of 10 for Belvoir Vale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.857 for Belvoir Vale is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.857

  • b) 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 Belvoir Vale is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
