Award winning community care service, Belong at Home, has launched in Chester, marking a new era in specialist dementia care available to local people living in the city and surrounding areas.  

Operating from the Belong village on City Road, community support workers are now assisting older people to live as independently as possible in their homes.

They will help with one-to-one personal care, housekeeping, food preparation, as well as running errands, helping with excursions and offering companionship.  

The service is available to those living in Belong Chester's independent living apartments, alongside people living in the city centre and the wider catchment, including Blacon, Greater Boughton, Hoole, and Upton.   

Customers can take advantage of the site's amenities for a small cost, including bistro, gym and hair salon, as well as its vibrant experiences programme, offering the chance to make new friends.  

Uniquely, support workers can also assist with arranging for customers to spend time with children up to age five to enjoy shared experiences including arts and crafts, music and singing, and shared dining.

This is possible thanks to the care village being integrated with The Nursery in Belong, a children's nursery operated by the charity, Ready Generations. 

Belong at Home head of operations, Andrew Shield, said: "We are pleased to say a big hello to Chester and that our award-winning home care service is now open for anyone who'd like a helping hand at home.

"Our team is trained rigorously to offer our customers the best possible care and we are looking forward to assisting them to enjoy everything later life has to offer."  

Earlier this year, the Belong at Home group was named in the UK's top home care groups for the seventh year in a row, based on independent reviews on leading comparison website, homecare.co.uk.

With feedback lauding well-trained teams, punctuality, and friendliness, it is the only not-for-profit operator to have achieved the feat every year since 2018.  

The launch is also set to benefit the local workforce, with training and employment opportunities available for those looking to build a career within care.
