My mother-in-law with dementia was rapidly declining at home in all aspects of her life. Reluctantly she agreed to go for a few weeks respite. In such a short time, the change in her is amazing, she is healthy, happy, immaculate and content now and does not want to return home. That is all down to the
manager and her fantastic team. I honestly could not find fault anywhere even if I tried. From the second you enter you are made to feel welcome, always greeted with a smile and a chat even though they are clearly busy, nothing is too much trouble for any of them. They are always on hand to answer questions or queries I have about this whole process of permanent care, even if it's out of their remit, they have taken time to give me advice. The effort that is put into the range of activities to enrich their lives does not go unnoticed. I love the cafe you can use when visiting. As a family, we were dreading a care home for her as past experiences were dreadful. Genuinely cared for, treated with respect.

Reply from Suzann Culley, Manager at Mossview @ The Opera

Staff are always amazing, never a problem best place for my mum, always entertain the residents, carers are all amazing head staff are the best, always there for you no matter what they're doing they never complain.
When my mum turned 80 she couldn't get to the party we had arranged so the entertainment
along with staff and even management joined in to make a party they had put on a very amazing day for mum. My mum is now bedridden and on oxygen full time and still, I can't find fault in my mum's care this is the reason for the 5-star review.

Can't praise Mossview Care Home enough, struggled with having to put my mum into a care home, but from the start, the manager and the staff have been fantastic. Very supportive and helpful, encouraging mum to get involved with all the activities.
Thank you for all you do for all the residents.

Following on from my previous 5-star review, all the team at Mossview were exceptional on Mum's unexpected and sudden passing, the whole family were overwhelmed by the love, compassion and professionalism shown by everyone at Mossview.
To know how much Mum was adored by the staff has meant a great
deal.
We can't recommend Mossview highly enough, should anyone ever need to consider them to look after their loved ones.

The wonderful Mossview @ The Opera team have gone above and beyond to provide really warm, exceptional and individual care to our mum, and us as a family. Nothing was too much trouble, communication was excellent and there’s so much on offer for residents. The team have a good relationship with the
local GP and community nursing team - we always found a rapid response to anything which needed to be escalated. Recently we had the sad occasion to work with the team to deliver family palliative care - sensitive, caring, compassionate- these are just a few words to describe the team right across all departments. We can’t recommend Mossview highly enough if anyone is considering residential care for their loved ones.

My father was in Mossview from the end of December until he sadly passed away on the 24th of June of this year. During his stay, he was given every consideration and respect regarding his care. The staff and management were excellent, and could ask no more of them.

I was apprehensive about my dad moving into a care home, but from his first day at Mossview, I felt more relaxed. The staff were polite, humorous and attentive to my dad's needs. There was also a good atmosphere in the home with activities on the go and plenty of staff around to help anyone who needed
it. The meals looked nice, and my dad's room was always clean and tidy. The home also gives the residents a voice through planned meetings for them and keeps families up to date with a Facebook page, newsletters through email and good verbal communication when I visit. Most importantly, my dad is very happy. Mossview was initially a temporary placement, but my dad wished it to be his permanent home as he liked it so much.

Reply from Katrina Valentine-Taylor, Manager at Mossview @ The Opera

Thank you for your lovely comments; I really appreciate you taking the time to complete this review. We are so happy your dad has settled and has chosen Mossview as his new Home.

Excellent standard of care at Mossview @ The Opera. My dad is happy and his needs are well cared for. Recent medical issues were dealt with speedily and with compassion. A variety of activities are on offer which my dad enjoys greatly. The intergenerational arrangements with a local nursery are superb,
Dad loves seeing the children pop in.

I visit my cousin in the home every Monday morning for the past 28 months. I have been welcomed and treated with respect every visit. The staff are very well trained and although they are conspicuous by their absence, they appear out of nowhere at the push of a button. They respect my cousin and her
lack of movement, they always talk to her and joke with her. She unfortunately is at the near end of her life but the carers treat her with the dignity and respect they would give one of their own family members. The manager is always cheery, welcomes me when she is available and I am kept up to date with my cousin's condition. The whole staff are a credit to the name of the care home. It has been a pleasure to see how my cousin has been treated.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Mossview @ The Opera is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.887 for Mossview @ The Opera is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 221 Ratings = 4.887

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mossview @ The Opera is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
