CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Belford House is a 42-bed residential care home in Alton, Hampshire, run by Belford Care Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs. Most homes in Hampshire are smaller: the median there is 25 beds.
264 other homes in Hampshire share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in May 2026. 84% of homes in Hampshire also score 5. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from February 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in January 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Hampshire, 46% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
