More Than a Care Home

Discover a radically different approach to care. More Than a Care Home explores the 'household model' at Belong Crewe, an award-winning village dedicated to independence and world-class dementia support. Each episode features insights from our specialists and heartwarming stories from the people who call our village home."The "Household" Model: Instead of one big ward, they have 6 small "households" of about 10–12 people. It feels like a real home where everyone eats together and knows their neighbours.Open Doors: Their facilities like the Bistro, Gym, and Hair Salon are open to the entire public, not just residents. This stops the village from feeling isolated.B’s Café: They recently launched a monthly dementia café (supported by Crewe Town Council) which is a massive support for local families.LGBTQ+ Inclusion: They are well-known for their "Silver Pride" initiatives and award-winning work in making sure everyone feels safe and seen, regardless of their background.Location: They are right on Brookhouse Drive, famously opened back in 2010 by Pete Waterman!Official Website: Belong Crewe Main PageWhat’s On & News: Latest Events at Belong CreweCare Quality Commission (CQC): Belong Crewe Rating (Currently rated "Outstanding" as of their last major report).Dementia Support: Admiral Nurse Service Information
