I really look forward to the ladies coming into my home. Always punctual, respectful, well organised, caring and efficient. I enjoy their friendliness and little chats. I enjoy the sandwiches, really appetising. The ladies have helped to settle me into a routine very efficiently.

I have already recommended to the GP and other general public. I was so pleased that Belong have set up in this area. The care providers have taken a lot off my shoulders and now I can enjoy time for myself and more time with Mum. It's lovely to have professional help as an 'extra pair of eyes'. All
the ladies are well organised, caring, polite and punctual. They enabled Mum to settle exceptionally quickly.

Wonderful service that has helped enormously support the self-care of my mum. The team are lovely, respectful and understanding. I appreciate the care planning that takes care of individual needs rather than a 'blanket approach'.
Mum appears settled, has made good connections with Belong staff and
has enjoyed many social visits.

The staff are lovely, very caring. Nothing is too much trouble. Every week my mother comes for a bath. The bathroom is spotless and very modern. After, we have lunch in the restaurant (the food is fantastic) with lots of choice, very reasonably priced. Overall I would rate the care 10/10.

We have been using Belong at Home Warrington since October 2018. This involves helping my husband each morning with getting showered, dressed etc. Monday to Friday. This helps me enormously and my husband is happy with this as it is done extremely sympathetically.

I was looking for a company that could give Mum the support she needed to stay independent in her own home. After meeting with Belong at Home I had no doubts that they could offer the support she needed. I have since met all of the team allocated to Mum's care and am very impressed with the total commitment
they give and how relaxed Mum is in their company.


Nothing is too much trouble, they always arrive on time and give Mum the full allocated time. They will carry out household tasks for her, just sit and chat or even accompany her on short walks. They also maintain a log of their visits which clearly states what they did, I find this very useful.


Another bonus is that they regularly take her to the Belong Village in Warrington to take part in the activities that take place on a regular basis. I know that Mum looks forward to and enjoys these visits.


I have no doubt that in appointing Belong to take care of Mum, I have given her the ability to stay independent in her own home.

Mum was reluctant to have any form of support at first. Eventuality she was open to the idea of a companion, Belong at home had a slow approach that enabled mum to build up her confidence, the support mum received was invaluable.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

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

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Belong at Home Warrington is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 125 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Belong at Home Warrington is based on 21 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.
