About
Belong Chester is a 75-bed care home in Chester, Cheshire, run by CLS Care Services Limited, a charitable organisation that reinvests all of its income into its services. It sits within an intergenerational village model that brings together residential households, apartments for independent living and a shared village centre. The village centre includes a bistro, hair salon, specialist gym, bar and a children's nursery run in partnership with Ready Generations, so older residents and young children live and learn together. The home is a short walk from Chester railway station, close to the cathedral and the canal. The Care Quality Commission rated it Requires Improvement overall in its 2026 report, with Good grades for effective, caring and responsive care, and Requires Improvement for safe care and well-led governance.
