About Belong Limited

Belong Limited was established in 1991 to provide high quality, person-centred care, accommodation and ancillary services to older people. The vision of the Charity is that by operating a continually improving and innovative care model that integrates services, housing and community, the Charity aspires to redefine what's possible for the well-being of older people and give its customers and staff a genuine voice in how it goes about it.

The Belong villages provide dementia and nursing care, as well as apartments for independent living, within a community village setting. They provide a full spectrum of care, from respite care to end of life care, enabling the Charity to support older people as their needs change.

Each Belong village offers:

· Households: typically, Household residents are frail, older people aged 85 or above and around two thirds of Household customers have a diagnosis of dementia.

· Apartments: typically, Apartment residents are in their early 80s and move to a Belong village to be part of a more vibrant community at a time when they or their partner may need more support.

· Domiciliary care services and specialist day care for those needing care and support in their own home known as "Belong at Home": the Charity has a registered home care service to provide support in the wider community and this has often proved a feeder route for people experiencing support from the Charity prior to moving into a Belong village.

· Specialist day care, known as "Experience Days": this service is open to people living in the wider community, enabling them to enjoy a day taking advantage of Belong village facilities and activities in a supported and facilitated way, often in order to give carers a break.

· Exercise services: available both to residents and members of the public that have been referred to the Charity or are connected to the Charity in some way, each Belong village gym is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and technology and the Charity's fitness instructors are trained to develop specialist, personalised programmes which have been independently evaluated and found to improve mobility, balance, stamina and strength according to people's needs.

· Purpose-built buildings and grounds for access to communal living.

· A programme of events and activities which are attended by people from the wider community as well as Belong village residents.

Taken together, the Charity's services offer a continuum of care and mean that it is able to support people as their needs change, offering a 'home for life'.
