OUR NURSING CARE SETS US APART


We employ our own nurses

It is inevitable that, sooner or later, most elderly care residents will need nursing care, yet over the last decade, we have seen many care home operators move away from offering nursing care, relying instead on visiting community nurses.

At Belmore Lodge, we have always believed that nursing is an intrinsic part of elderly care, and that as a care home, we have a moral obligation to provide our residents with whatever care they need, whenever they need it.

Reassurance 24 hours a day, seven days a week

You can’t put a price on peace of mind. We employ highly-skilled nurses to be on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so that our residents can enjoy their homely surroundings, vibrant atmosphere and beautiful gardens with the reassurance that should they require nursing assistance at any time of the day or night, it’s not only available immediately, it’s provided by nurses they know, and who know them.

Your Care Services

Assisted Care

Our care teams assist with all aspects of daily living for our residents, from personal care to taking regular medications, working flexibly to promote independence providing support to maintain the physical care and comfort of residents.

Nursing Care

Belmore Lodge’s nurses are available for all residents, at all times. We believe that’s the bedrock of a safe and happy home, providing nurse-led care to manage complex medical conditions, whilst ensuring all residents can stay within their familiar and comfortable home setting should their care needs change.

Residential Care

Our residential care service is designed to provide a comfortable and relaxed home environment where home maintenance, laundry, cooking and housekeeping are taken care of on your behalf.

Short Stay & Respite

We offer the same high quality care services enjoyed by our long-term residents on a short-term basis. Whether it’s for a short period of recovery, a respite break or simply a trial run for those looking for a permanent move, we offer a home from home where residents can live their life, their way.

Dementia Care

Although Belmore Lodge is not a dementia home, we are committed to supporting our residents to live meaningful and fulfilled lives, and that includes those living with the earlier stages of dementia or cognitive impairment.

End Of Life

We want people to live well with us, making the most of every single day. If that means being together until the end of life, we want our residents to die well with dignity with family around, in familiar surroundings with staff they know well.

Wish you were here!

We aim to make every day worth writing about, and enjoy keeping loved ones up to date with what’s going on within Belmore Lodge. Here are some of our residents’ recent highlights.

The words of our residents and relatives say more than we ever could.

“I would really like to express my deepest gratitude to all of the staff that have cared for Nan over the past few years. It hasn’t gone unnoticed, by me, my brothers and my Dad’s partner. I really appreciate all of the love and care that has been given to her and I am always amazed at the dedication and smiles of all of the team, from the tea ladies, to the care takers, and of course all of the nurses, health care workers and companionship team. It will be strange to be back in the UK without these weekly visits. Please do share my thanks with everyone who was a part of her care”

“Thank you to everyone for your wonderful care of my mum throughout her year of residency with you. We will always fondly remember our ‘wedding day’ as a time of so much joy, especially for mum. She was so happy and we will always be grateful for the huge amount of work from Janie, her staff and residents that made the day so special. Thank you also for the understand and difficult handling of our ‘challenging family dynamics’. Special mentions for Edita, Daniella, Kelly, Mariza and Jesmi for there exceptional professionalism and compassion in her final days. To the companion team who kept her company on the few days we were unable to visit. To Pierre, Stephen and Julian who quickly became her favourites. There are too many names to mention, however every role and Belmore Lodge was very much appreciated by mum and by us.”
