    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.

    GS

    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.

    Peter D

    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.

    ⚓ A big thank you to our Trustees ⚓

    While they may not always be in the spotlight, our #Trustees play a vital role in helping the Royal Alfred Seafarers` Society continue to support older seafarers and their dependants.

    Their knowledge, guidance and dedication help shape our future, strengthen our charity and ensure our residents remain at the centre of everything we do.
