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.

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.

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.

We were thrilled to welcome the charity Lest We Forget for a lively and uplifting concert at Belvedere House.
Residents, families, and staff had a fantastic time singing along, clapping to the music, and enjoying an afternoon full of energy and smiles.
A big thank you to the performers for bringing so much joy to our home and we can’t wait to have you back!

Honouring Our Maritime Heritage
We are delighted to share that our Care Assistant, Gill, has generously donated some remarkable naval artefacts to the Society: a traditional ship’s wheel and two porthole clocks.
These pieces are a wonderful addition to our home, reflecting the proud maritime history at the heart of The Royal Alfred Seafarers’ Society. They serve as a reminder of the seafaring traditions that bind our community together and honour the generations who have served at sea.
Our sincere thanks to Gill for her thoughtful contribution, which will help us continue to celebrate and preserve our nautical heritage.

A special little visitor to our grounds
While enjoying a walk through our gardens, a family member of one of our residents spotted this beautiful Small Copper butterfly. With its vivid orange wings edged in deep brown, it’s one of the UK’s most eye-catching butterflies, often seen on sunny days in late summer.
Moments like these remind us how lucky we are to be surrounded by nature, and how much joy and calm even the smallest of creatures can bring to residents, families, and staff alike.
Next time you’re visiting, keep an eye out for our wild visitors, and we’d love to hear about any sightings you spot in our gardens too!
