Belgrave Care have been supporting my Aunt for the last three months. She was initially reluctant to accept that she could no longer manage without support and very anxious at the prospect of having strangers in the house. The carers have treated her with the greatest respect and dignity. They have
sensitively allowed her to maintain a level of independence and worked alongside her offering appropriate support when needed. The carers are consistently punctual, calm and polite. My Aunt began to regard them as friends and looked forward to their visits. I cannot praise them enough and thanks to them my Aunt was able to continue living at home for a longer period than anticipated.

The overall standard of care and attention my Mum has received over the past few months have been of a high standard. Some carers have gone above and beyond during their visits, carrying out those small tasks that mean so much and enabled my Mum to continue living in the family home for longer. The
managers and their team have shown compassion and empathy in their person-centred approach to Mum's care and support. I am sure they are disappointed in their recent CQC inspection report, however, I have no doubt that these areas of concern will be quickly addressed and they will continue to grow and provide exceptional care and support for people living in their own homes. My Mum would not have managed to continue to live independently without Belgrave Care. Thank You.

Belgrave Care has provided care for my 90-year old mother for about one year. They have been responsive to her changing needs and supportive in times of crisis. Any issues with care provided have been dealt with quickly and professionally. The carers are in the main skilled and able to support a wide
range of needs. My mother enjoys their company.

I am very pleased with the assistance that Mum receives from Belgrave Care. All of the staff are thoughtful of Mum's needs before anything else. She has four visits per day, three fifteen-minute calls and an hour at lunchtime, also a shopping trip once a week to ensure she has enough food and provisions.
This
has meant that my time with Mum is much more relaxed and pleasant. I no longer worry about Mum's chores but have time to enjoy being her son again.
I like the notes and comments made in the visit log, there is always something about how mum greeted or her demeanour that time, which gives a great overview of how mum is coping, which is so important for the medical and practical side of looking after mum.
Lastly, I would just like to say how lovely the ladies who visit mum are; so very thoughtful and caring. I couldn't wish for better, even the cat gets spoilt by them!
If anyone I knew was in the position where they needed extra care I would not hesitate to recommend Belgrave Care.

We have been using Belgrave Care since January 2018 initially for 15 minute 'social check-up' calls and to remove mum's surgical stockings. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, any initial teething issues are handled promptly and efficiently.
We have since increased the care package
to include cooking meals for Mum four nights a week and an additional 15 min morning call.
Mum was insistent that she didn't want people coming in and hanging around for "hours" so this length of call is very helpful as she does not actually require much physical assistance. However, on occasions when Mum has been unwell or distressed when the carer has called. They have stayed for longer than the required time and have always contacted me to keep me informed of the situation. Any issues with changes to the care requirements are handled quickly by the very friendly staff in the office, all in all, a very good service.

Having gone through the assessment process and discussing the care required and the timescales, I was assured that this company was more than capable of providing the dementia care required for my mother. On the first day of care, the timescales and care plan was not followed with the first visit being
shorter than agreed and the second visit being much longer than agreed. The personal information document left with the call log had 8 major incorrect details. Although the first carer wrote in the log book that she had contacted the office to say that she was having problems and that the manager had said that she was going to call me on the telephone, I did not receive a call to inform of a problem.


On my return home after reading the call log, I contacted the Belgrave Care office to say that I was concerned and disappointed that the requested care had not been provided satisfactorily. I was told that they required longer calls to fulfil provide the care. I decided to end the care agreement

I have been using this agency since they started up last year. I can't fault the staff, attention to detail is fabulous. My mother suffers from Dementia and has been since 2011. I was promised a team of 4 staff and it has never changed, familiar faces every day. The office support is brilliant always
there for a chat to talk and communication is excellent. The carers all seem to be mature staff which has helped a lot with my Mother, I wouldn't use another agency and I strongly recommend Belgrave Care, I have kept an eye on the reviews on their website, they should be proud of what they have achieved.

The carers arrive fairly punctually, morning and evening.
We would prefer a later evening call, but they hope to achieve this eventually.
They are kind and considerate, and mainly efficient.
We have had only four carers visiting in the six months they have been coming, so there isn't a constant stream
of new faces.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.974)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.974) out of 10 for Belgrave Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.974 for Belgrave Care is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 77 Ratings = 4.974

  • 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 Belgrave Care 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.
