Bellamy Fields

Our Story

The demand for specialized geriatric care came as changes in hospital and skilled nursing care created a niche for a more medical-model assisted living. The need for services for people affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders began to grow at an unprecedented rate. Dr. John Hopkins of Portsmouth created a company in which local management and private ownership brought a level of attention to detail in great contrast to the corporate absentee ownership which was overtaking the field.

Our Mission

The mission of Bellamy and Watson Fields is to minimize the impact and slow the progression of degenerative dementia diseases (Alzheimer’s and others) and other chronic conditions of aging.
By doing so, the quality of the residents’ life is enhanced, family bonds are prolonged and new relationships are formed. The therapeutic communities employ a “bio-psycho-social” approach popularized during the early 1980’s when Dr. Hopkins was helping to develop New England’s first geriatric psychiatry program in a community hospital.

Our Vision

Our vision involves developing the space in the healthcare system where acute care has less curative potential as chronic conditions increase. Then, by offering families realistic opportunities to manage chronic conditions with the goal of enhanced quality of life for their elders, the health care and family systems become partners in successful aging.

What our Residents and Families are saying

To all staff, I am so very grateful to the wonderful people at Bellamy Fields. You not only showed great care and respect for my husband but also gave welcomed support to my son and myself. My husband was full of surprises and at the core remained the same until the end. Thank you all for your expertise and loving kindness.

Wife of Resident

I want to thank all of you for the wonderful and loving care you give my dad from the moment he arrived he has been very happy. He tells me every time I visit “this place is so nice” “ I like all the people here”. His favorite place to spend time is either in the activity room or outside helping in the garden. My dad is a people person and enjoys all that your facility has to offer. I am so pleased my Dad is happy. I never worry about him. Every single one of you makes my Dad’s day brighter. Thank you!
