Overall Experience

My Mother spent the last 6 months of her life in Belle Vue, and as a family, we could not have wished for a better establishment for her, the way she was cared for and treated was first class. The staff were so committed and caring and we were comforted that Mum was treated with dignity, respect and

with a great deal of understanding. We as the family were always kept well informed and our concerns dealt with promptly. The home is making improvements to facilities which are further enhancing the environment. In short, we would highly recommend Belle Vue to anyone considering it.

Reply from Honor Keatley, Managing Director at Belle Vue Care Home

Many thanks for your lovely review. The team at Belle Vue will value your feedback in knowing that they did all they could to ensure your mother's life at Belle Vue was a good one.

Overall Experience

All colleagues who work here are amazing. The passion they all have for the work they carry out, shines through. My Dad, due to his illness, was rather "challenging" at times. However, this didn't affect the way he was treated. They continued with the incredible care that they had always given him.

Not only do they care for the residents but also for the family and friends that visit. It felt like one big happy family. I personally can't recommend this home highly enough.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Belle Vue Care Home

The team work so hard to ensure that every resident receives the very best of care, no matter what their circumstances, it is so good to know that their efforts do not go un-noticed. Kind regards

Overall Experience

My Mum moved here when she needed Nursing care for the last few weeks of her life. The new Manager and her staff were very professional and caring in looking after Mum in the last couple of weeks of her life. The standard of cleanliness generally and in her room was very good and the bedding was changed

regularly. Belle Vue is a very pleasant Nursing Home where the residents are comfortable, at ease, well-looked after, well-fed and above all, feel safe and respected. More could be done to provide Coffee/Tea making facilities for friends and family, maybe a machine rather than the kettle in the dining room when there are rarely any clean cups or spoons. The Home and floors are controlled by keypad access. My only issue was trying to remember all the numbers so maybe they could be rationalised - suggest one number for all inner doors and one for lift plus one for the outer door. That way only 3 codes to remember!
Would recommend this home to others.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Belle Vue Care Home

Many thanks for taking the time to review Belle Vue Care Home. I take on board all of your comments and I will be certain to convey your suggestions to the team so that they can further improve the quality of service to family members. With regard to door codes, they are in place for resident safety and security, so different areas of the home have to have their own keypad numbers. The staff are always on hand to help with door access and they know all of the numbers, which helps! I was so pleased to read your feedback regarding the professional care delivered to your Mum, the fact you report that residents are 'comfortable, at ease, well-looked after, well fed and above all feel safe and respected' shows that the most important considerations are being addressed. Thank you for your recommendation to others, it is much appreciated. Kind regards.

The last few weeks of my mum's life she was cared for with dignity. The family had plenty of support and the standard and cleanliness were second to none.

Overall Experience

Light and airy. Patio garden. reception area for socialising.
Good cooking and choice. Maybe need more staff and time for feeding. The staff are very careful of respect and dignity. Great that many more activities are planned.
Concerning safety. This has improved tremendously. Obviously, it is not

possible to prevent residents from wandering about if they are unstable on their feet but staff often rush up with walking frames or to escort them. The outside doors and lifts have security code systems. Certain rooms are fitted with motion sensors. On the whole Belle Vue is a very pleasant place which the residents do regard as "home" after a period of adjustment where they are comfortable, at ease, well-looked after, well-fed and, above all, feel safe and respected. Much progress has been achieved towards making Belle Vue one of the better nursing homes in Torbay, largely thanks to the policies implemented by the new owners, Harbour Healthcare, and, especially, its new manager.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Belle Vue Care Home

Thank you very much for your review. I am so glad that all of the hard work by the team is being noticed and 'felt' by residents and visitors alike. Our new manager brings so much experience to the role and the team are appreciative of her leadership and approach. Well done, we very much appreciate your hard work and thanks for the efforts of the whole team who are working so hard to continuously lift standards! Kind regards

Overall Experience

We were invited to a Valentine's lunch with our relative who is a resident. It was first class. The food lamb and potatoes and very plus chocolate and cream were lovely. The staff were super.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Belle Vue Care Home

How great it is to have feedback from a family member about their experience of our menu and dining service. There is always a generally held presumption that food in care homes is not of a standard it should be, but your review proves otherwise. We very much appreciate the time and trouble you took to review the Valentines Day lunch you attended and we are all so pleased that you enjoyed your meal. Come again for dinner! Kind regards

Overall Experience

My Mum came to Belle Vue after discharge from hospital. When she arrived she was frail and exhausted. One month on Mum is more independent, back to good health and happy and comfortable. The staff are so kind, friendly and caring - cannot fault them. The home has an open, homely and welcome atmosphere.

I feel part of the home as a relative.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Belle Vue Care Home

Thank you very much for your comments, they are much appreciated. The picture you give of your Mother's experience will do much to reassure those who are searching for care for a loved one. We'll be sure to share your comments with our team at the home. Kind Regards.

Overall Experience

We are always impressed with the standard of care/facilities/food in this home. Recently we have seen numerous very favourable improvements to the latter, however, this month our visit was enhanced by the invitation to share in a special Valentine's roast lamb lunch, cooked to absolute perfection by

the exceptional chef. The food was superbly created and wonderfully delicious! Thank you!

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Belle Vue Care Home

Thanks so much for your very positive review, it will certainly help to reassure those families who are searching for a 'forever home' for a loved one. I'm just sorry I missed the roast lamb! Kind regards.
