Our commitment includes recruiting care workers exclusively from the communities we serve, ensuring that we contribute to and strengthen the local ecosystem. This approach ensures that the individuals we support receive care from people who are familiar with their neighbourhoods. 

Q: How does Bellevie engage with the local community? 

A: Our unwavering commitment involves active collaboration with local community groups, organising Wellness events like Chair Yoga, Nutrition Talks, and Chair Dance in partnership with the local Age Concern and Adult social groups. We also engage in volunteering efforts aligned with charities that share similar values to ours. Looking ahead, we aspire to expand our engagement by working with additional community groups and local retailers in the coming months. 

Q: Why should someone consider the Bellevie Care to look after their loved one? 

A: Our team is made up of carefully selected local caregivers who not only share our passion for helping individuals to live in their home for as long as possible, but also resonate with our values and ethos to enhance the enjoyment and comfort of later life. 

We’re not just caregivers; we’re your neighbours, your friends, and trusted members of the community. Your wellbeing is our wellbeing, and that’s what strengthens our community bonds.

A: We firmly believe that our purpose is to support you in living life on your terms, from personal development to hobbies like cooking or dancing.

Q: What is the future of BelleVie Care? 

A: BelleVie Care stands as a beacon of hope, not only for those we support, but also for individuals aspiring to work in the field of care. Care roles are frequently undervalued and underappreciated, and we are dedicated to transforming this perception.
