Words of appreciation
Real voices, real impact – here’s what families say about their experience:
I would have no hesitation to recommend this home to anyone.
After my initial visit and a good look around, I made the decision to move my relative [to Belvedere House]. I wish I had done it sooner, as everything from her professional and smooth admission to her care to date has been exceptional, and I cannot fault it in any way. I have always found the staff to be friendly, caring and nothing is too much.

We cannot thank you enough.
Our mother was cared for at Belvedere House. The care, kindness and support she received was excellent. Her spacious room with the view of the courtyard garden meant she was able to see outside which has provided great comfort to her as her mobility declined. Everyone on the team from our initial introduction… through to housekeeping and the exceptional care and nursing team was warm, professional and supportive in responding to her needs with the utmost compassion and respect.

We were treated with great kindness, patience and respect.
My husband stayed at Belvedere House for two weeks respite care… We had three or four visits before his stay. At all times, we were treated with great kindness, patience and respect. Sadly, he cannot remember his stay, but I know he was very well cared for. He adjusted to home life very easily on his return. We look forward to using Belvedere House again in the future.

🐾 New Recruits in the Admin Office! 🐾
While Lindsay’s colleague was off enjoying some well-earned annual leave, she had a little help from some unexpected team members — the guinea pigs! 🐹✨
They might not be the best at filing or answering phones, but they’re excellent at boosting morale and keeping spirits high. We’re not sure if their squeaks were productivity tips or snack requests, but either way, they kept the office lively!
Thanks to our furry friends for stepping in — we think they deserve an extra carrot or two for their hard work. 🥕💻

A very special day aboard HMS Wellington 🇬🇧⚓️
We were delighted to see Doris enjoying a memorable visit to HMS Wellington on 8th May, marking VE Day 80 with a heartfelt tribute to the men and women of the Merchant Navy and Armed Forces.
The event was beautifully organised by the Merchant Navy Welfare Board (MNWB) and offered a wonderful opportunity to reflect, remember, and honour the sacrifices made for our freedom.
Doris’s smile says it all — from the warm welcome on board to the chance to share stories and memories, this was a truly meaningful experience.
Thank you to the MNWB for making this commemorative day so special.

A Special Visit from Anne – Sharing Stories Across Generations
We were delighted to see Anne, one of our remarkable sheltered housing residents, out and about recently as she visited a local primary school to meet with a group of enthusiastic pupils.
At 100 years old, Anne has lived a rich and fascinating life, and the children were absolutely captivated as she shared her story — particularly her time serving in the Women`s Royal Naval Service (WRNS). From her wartime experiences to her reflections on how life has changed over the decades, Anne had the room hanging on her every word.
The children are now writing Anne’s autobiography as part of a special school project, and once it’s finished, they’ll be sending her a copy to read. She’s very much looking forward to seeing how they’ve told her story — and we’re looking forward to hearing what she thinks!
It was a lovely example of connection across generations, and a reminder of how much wisdom and history our residents have to share.
