One Of the Best Villages
5 / 5 ★We have a very good buddy system. Having worked in the industry, this is one of the best villages around.
Welcoming village, gym issues
4 / 5 ★Bellevue is a very welcoming village. I believe that if physical activities were conducted by a leader we would all appreciate the improvement in our balance and wellbeing. Following videos in a small, equipment cluttered gym just do not work.
Caution
3 / 5 ★Do better
No hospital care
2 / 5 ★Need for individual needs assessment when planning maintenance expenditure.
Surrounded by good grounds
1 / 5 ★Some communication would be nice, haven't seen part time manger for many months.
