What others say about Belmont Care Home

Belmont

Margaret H (Daughter of Resident)

"My mother has been a resident in Belmont for the last twelve months. Admission to care became necessary when her ability to function in her home, despite several visits a day by family, due to short term memory loss, confusion, unsteadiness etc. Since her admission, despite her frailties we have seen how physically well she has become and how much happier and positive to wanting to live. This is obviously down to the very high quality of care she is receiving, being well-nourished, clean and tidy, stimulated by conversations with staff and fellow residents, entertainments and outings."
