Belong Crewe, the not-for-profit care operator specialising in supporting people living with dementia, has been named in the UK's top 100 care homes for 2025, cementing it as one of the town's best places for older people to live.  

The first-ever Lottie Awards from the online care finder recognise and celebrate care homes across the country that demonstrate exceptional commitment to residents, families, and staff.

Lottie's team conducted a comprehensive, data-driven review of thousands of homes, assessing key criteria that matter most to families when choosing care, including Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings, team wellbeing, and resident feedback. 

The Brookhouse Drive village was singled out for its workplace culture. 

Belong Crewe holds an 'Outstanding' CQC rating placing it in the exceptional 4 per cent of adult social care settings in England to achieve the feat (Ryan Parker).

Lottie said: "Belong Crewe is a fabulous care setting, which invests in its people, ensuring they are fully aligned around organisational vision and values, and put residents at the heart of all they do. 

"With six households, all of which provide residential, dementia and nursing care, the village living spaces provide a more intimate, inclusive and welcoming atmosphere."

"Our unique village concept is designed to provide options and choice for our customers, and to offer them a vibrant place that they are proud to call home. We are delighted to be honoured in this way." 

For the recruitment and professional development of its colleagues, the organisation holds the prestigious Gold Investors in People accreditation, thanks to its strong commitment to culture and training, collaborative working and encouraging innovation.

As a result, Belong is amongst the industry's and country's – top employers.
