The staff have really done a remarkable job keeping our family close while we have to physically stay apart.
Knowing that Mum is so well taken care of physically – and also mentally and emotionally – provides so much comfort to our family. We know that we don’t have to worry about her and can just enjoy our time together.
We can really feel the love the staff have for our Dad. They always have time for his jokes and stories and he is so well cared for. We know we made the best decision for him.
I’ve never been bored at Belmont! There is always so much to do and I can tell the recreation staff really care about what they do. The mid week current events group is a highlight of my week and full of interesting debate! I also really look forward to the live entertainment twice a week. Feels so luxurious to have such talented musicians visiting our home!
