Belong at Home have been visiting Mum at home twice a day for the past few weeks. We have been really impressed by the level of service. All the staff are very friendly, caring and efficient. This was particularly evident when Mum had a fall recently. We would have no hesitation in recommending Belong
at Home.

Excellent, supportive personal service. Thank you for your continued help and guidance over the past couple of months since our father passed away. One member of staff, in particular, has connected with my mum brilliantly in such a difficult time and also introduced the two carers now to help care for
my mum. I am so grateful for their support to us as a family.

It took a while for Mum to accept she needed outside help in addition to the support provided by myself and my sister but she has settled really well because the carers are all lovely to her. She looks forward to the their visits and loves to chat with them. They help her with personal care, prepare
her meals and other small household chores. It's a great relief that Mum's needs are being met in such a friendly and professional manner. Wish we'd done it sooner!

Belong at Home is truly a five-star service, absolutely nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend to anyone. The carers go above and beyond to ensure all Dad's needs are met and as they have got to know him more, make suggestions on how to improve his daily life further. Dad's package of
care has increased and now includes a shopping visit out to a local supermarket which keeps him independent, weekly house cleaning and personal care visits. Dad knows in advance who is coming to see him and has pictures of them which is good, especially if it's a staff member he hasn't met before. From a personal perspective, Belong at Home has become a lifeline not only to Dad but to myself too, knowing he is receiving quality support from such caring individuals is a welcome relief and one I can't thank them enough for. Thank you Belong at Home for the incredible work you do, you are all amazing!

Reply from Jane Gabbert, Area Manager at Belong at Home Crewe

My sister has been living as an independent resident in Belong at Home Crewe for about nine years. We are both delighted with the standard of accommodations and care she has received. Staff go well beyond the minimum requirement of care, e.g. she suffers from seizures and has learning difficulties but
staff are very patient and respond immediately if required. When I am away, I can relax knowing that she is in good hands.

Great care for Dad. Carers keep us fully informed of Dad's care. Dad looks forward to seeing the carers and we can now go back to being his daughters and spending quality time with him as carers have taken away the need for us to look after him on a daily basis.

Belong at Home Crewe have been looking after my mother-in-law for the last couple of years now. We use both the weekly shopping service and daily care visits, both have been invaluable to help my mother-in-law which gives my partner and I peace of mind that she is being checked and looked after. Over
time we have added extra services as her care needs have changed which Beyond have always managed to sort out to keep continuity. We cannot fault the service they provide and have found all staff to be patient and caring with her. We would highly recommend the service to anyone looking for care input.

The team who care for Mum are outstanding. They offer Mum personal care (in the form of showers) with true dignity and respect. It was quite a difficult decision for Mum to allow carers in to help her in her apartment, but every member of the team has supported her in this transition and I am so grateful
as supporting Mum has meant a great deal of relief to myself and the impact it has also had upon myself - relieving my stress about Mum.

Belong have been caring for my mother for over 6 weeks. The carers are reliable and very attentive. Mum's confidence has improved along with her strength. She is eating well and the carers will help her with any chores, as well as preparing. My sister and I have peace of mind, knowing that Mum is well
cared for by people she loves.

My dad was very well cared for by the staff. They sorted out his physical needs such as washing and meals. They also chatted to him throughout their visit, which helped him to remain cheerful and happy to stay in his own home. I spoke to him almost every evening and he was always positive about whichever
member of staff had visited him that day.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Belong carers to anyone else looking for kind and efficient carers in the Crewe area.

It is difficult to express the gratitude my mother and I feel for Belong At Home. The carers looked after my mother with professionalism and, more importantly, love when she was having care at home in the last few years.
She has since moved into the Village in Crewe, where carers from Belong At Home
visit twice a week. She enjoys their visits very much, it gives her a different focus during the week, and I know how much they care. I cannot recommend Belong at Home highly enough.

The Belong At Home team supported our dad for two years before he went into the Belong Home and since then, our mum at home for the past two years. The caring team are excellent with mum in every aspect of what she needs. The senior team are very responsive and really understand Mum's needs and situation.

We have requested to change the timing of mums visit but there is still no visibility of this after several months of waiting - this is not a criticism of the Belong At Home Crewe Team at all - There appears to be a shortage of staff to enable ours and other peoples requests for visits at peak times which I would request the Management Team who assess the resourcing of the Crewe Team need to address.

Reply from Jane Gabbert, Area Manager at Belong at Home Crewe

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback, and we are heartened to hear that your experience with our support team has been so positive. We are sorry that we have not yet been able to accommodate your request to move the timings of your mother's visit. We appreciate that this is frustrating, and we assure you that recruitment is always a high priority for Belong at Home. It does remain a challenge across the country due to the national shortage of care workers, and of course, we need to ensure that we do not compromise when looking for people with the right values and attitude to ensure they will provide the level of service that is consistent with our expectations in Belong. We do appreciate your patience as we continue with our recruitment drive, and we will certainly look to make the changes you have requested as soon as we are able to do so.

The Belong at Home team has provided my mum with excellent care over the last couple of years. Evermore so when Mum was discharged from hospital 5-months ago. They ensured the correct care package was in place, and continually review and communicate any changes they feel necessary. Mum is treated with
compassion, dignity and respect. They provide our family with peace of mind too, as we know, she is in excellent hands.

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.974 for Belong at Home Crewe is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 78 Ratings = 4.974

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Belong at Home Crewe is based on 13 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
