Home From Home
A home away from home in the heart of North Northumberland.
Our day care service offers a warm, sociable and stimulating day out for elderly people and those with care needs - with door-to-door transport, homecooked meals and a wonderful team to look after you.
A day out that feels like home
Home From Home is Bell View's day care service - a warm, welcoming and sociable day out for elderly people and those with care needs across North Northumberland. Run by Cat and Deputy Manager Hayley, our experienced and fully trained team are dedicated to making every client feel safe, valued and genuinely cared for.
Our team collect clients from their own homes across Berwick, Belford, Wooler, Seahouses, Powburn and the surrounding areas in our fleet of fully adapted, wheelchair-accessible vehicles - so there's absolutely no need to worry about getting there.
Many of our clients also use our Help at Home domiciliary care service, which means they're welcomed through the door by familiar, trusted faces. That continuity of care matters enormously - and it's something we're very proud of at Bell View.
All of our staff are fully trained to the highest standards, with specialist expertise across a wide range of conditions and care needs, so you can be confident your loved one is in the very best hands.
