Welcome to Belong Chester

Already an award-winning care village, Belong Chester’s state-of-the-art facilities, canalside city location and pioneering approach to intergenerational living are combining to promote wellbeing, active lifestyles and, above all, a vibrant, welcoming community.

Belong Chester is based on a village model, with households for 24-hour care, apartments for independent living and a village centre with a range of facilities to be enjoyed by all residents, customers and members of the wider community. These facilities include a bistro, hair salon, specialist gym and, for the first time, a fully integrated children’s nursery. In 2023, Belong Chester won the prestigious national LaingBuisson award for Innovation in Care based on the outcomes being achieved by this intergenerational living setting.
