Thank you for your review. We are very pleased that you returned to us for respite after staying with us during November and over Christmas. I’d like to reassure you that the staffing levels are appropriate for the amount of residents in the home. However, due to adverse weather conditions and some sickness we did utilise our resources by using all three managers at the home to work on the floor to assist with the mealtime experiences and activities. I am sorry that you did not have sight of me but I do try to make myself visible to residents and relatives and operate an open door policy should you ever need to visit me. We are pleased that you are still joining us for daycare and look forward to seeing you in the future.

Although my aunt did not have a great appetite, meals always looked and smelt delicious, there was always fresh fruit, biscuits and snacks freely available and residents were offered cold and hot drinks throughout the day.
When visiting the home we always found it to be clean, tidy, free from offensive odours and we were always made to feel welcome.
Reply from Shirley Reece Johnson, Home Manager at Moorland House
Thank you for your compliments of the facilities of the home and moreover the quality of care that your aunt received from our very dedicated team. As a new manager at the home it is always good to hear when we have made a difference and allayed any concerns when moving to a new environment like your aunt did and that we made her transition a smooth one, gaining the trust from the staff. I am pleased that we were able to support your aunt's needs without her losing her independence. She was (as all our residents are) a special person in every respect.

Thank you so much for your review. Your Mother in Law was a wonderful person and everyone loved her. We all loved to listen to her stories from her younger days and that she had always been an inspiration to people throughout her life. She will be sadly missed.

My 20 year old son commented on how all the staff he saw and spoke to, were always smiling and great with his grandad.
Everywhere was clean and spotless.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Moorland House to anyone.

My family are so grateful to the all the staff at Moorland House for looking after my dad and all of us so well. All the staff – care staff, kitchen, cleaning, laundry and maintenance, admin staff – are kind, welcoming
We all felt ‘at home’ coming to Moorland House. It is easy just to pop in at any time of day and share a meal, activity or simply spend quiet time together. The staff will always change their schedule to suit visitors and you always get offered a cup of tea or coffee.
During Dad’s last hours and following his death everyone has been so helpful and considerate – I still pop in to have a chat.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.689) out of 10 for Moorland House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.689 for Moorland House is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.689
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 Moorland House is based on 11 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 11 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.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2018
I have worked in the care sector since 1998 after completing my university studies. Initially working with Children in Care then I moved to working with older people and this is where my passion is. I have been part of the MHA team since February 2017 and worked at Queenswood in Nottingham first then moved to Moorland house 2018 and I love the home, residents and we are blessed to have a wonderful staff team. I am married to Bri and I have 2 sons Adam, Tim and 2 grandchildren Ophelia and Cosette and daughter in law Sophie. I live in Chesterfield and my interests are reading and watching dramas and movies this helps me to unwind. We recently adopted a dog (pug) called Alfie that we are trying unsuccessfully to train. I enjoy going on all types of holidays and spending time with my family and extended family.
Job Title: Deputy Home Manager
Joined: 2018
I have been in the care industry for over 10 years now and worked in numerous care environments such as Residential, Assisted Living, Domiciliary and also training. Since the age of 21 I have always had a job role in a senior position. I have learnt a wide range of skills and knowledge in the care sector throughout the years, and I have always been passionate in providing the highest standards of person-centred care. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming which to me, is what makes Moorland House so different to previous homes I have worked in. The staff team who I work alongside with are an absolute credit to the home and MHA as a whole. My favourite part of the job has always been interacting with the residents, hearing their individual stories or just simply seeing them smile. I have worked at Moorland House for over 2 years now and I’ve never been happier! Outside of work, I’m usually spending time with my 7 year old daughter and going on adventures together with our Labrador puppy, Harley.
Job Title: Administration Manager
Joined: 2003
I have worked at Moorland House in an administrative role for 17 years, being promoted to Administration Manager around 4 years ago. I am passionate about ensuring that residents and staff have the best possible experience of living and working at Moorland House. I think Moorland House is special, because we provide our residents with a ‘home’, not a Home. Our friendly family atmosphere is one of the first things that visitors to the home notice, and I am incredibly proud of that. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren and walking in the beautiful local countryside with my two dogs, Nev and Aggie.
Job Title: Home Chaplain
Joined: 2020
I started working here as a Chaplain in August 2020 and I had such a warm welcome from staff and residents. As part of my job role, I work alongside our amazingly talented Activity Coordinator getting involved in activities participating with residents and spending quality time with them all such as playing scrabble every Tuesday and also arts and crafts. I carry out a midweek service every Wednesday morning and also hold a prayer group every Friday morning. I am always available to talk to anyone, staff, residents, relatives as a listening ear. I spent over 20 years working for the NHS as a Pharmacy Technician in hospitals in London and Essex and more latterly at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. I am very involved at St. Thomas’ the local Anglican church where amongst other things I help lead the Home Bible Group for the older folk and help run ‘Young at Heart’ once a month where we get together for a cup of tea, a piece of cake and plenty of chat.
