Do you cater for special dietary requirements?

How is resident safety maintained?
All Bellevue employees, subcontractors and volunteers possess current Police clearances. We have a strict nightly lock down routine which is followed stringently by all staff. Regular checks are made of all wards throughout the day and night to account for residents’ whereabouts. All visitors must sign in and out, registering their reason for visiting the facility. All accessible areas are electronically secured. Fire Safety compliance is of paramount importance at Bellevue Care Centre. All of our buildings and policies comply with strict government regulations. All staff attend annual training sessions to ensure they are proficient in managing any emergency. We also utilise a facility-wide emergency call system.
Can I still use my own doctor?
Bellevue will always facilitate continuity of care. If your General Practitioner is able to attend to home visits, then we are more than happy to work alongside him/ her. We have a dedicated group of General Practitioners who visit Bellevue on a regular basis. We will facilitate a change to one of these if you require.
