Belong at Home Atherton team is excellent. I cannot express how fantastic the staff and the management are, nothing is too much trouble for them. Whatever my mum needed they always put her needs first. They are excellent with her dementia and Alzheimer's side effects. They are trained and professional also, they are like extended members of the family. They give all the family and also myself peace of mind that we couldn't wish for anyone else to look after my mum. They always contact myself and brother if Mum ever has or needs anything. I would recommend Belong at Home Atherton to everyone. Thank you for doing a brilliant job.

It was a difficult time for him and the family and they were great! The manager was so lovely and knowledgeable of what we needed.
The only criticism would be that the staff visiting weren't consistent so he needed to learn lots of names. It would have been easier to have had a smaller number of regular staff who could have supported him.
Thank you for such lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear your father-in-law was happy with us and enjoyed our services. I will make sure your review is passed on to the Belong at Home Atherton team.
