There is a lovely friendly atmosphere plenty of helpful staff. There is some activity happening every time i visit (visit 2-3 times a week) i often visit near lunch time to encourage my friend to eat. The food looks and smells appetising. The residents seem very happy and there is nothing too much trouble
for the staff. I am kept well informed regarding my friends condition. Each month there is a very informative newsletter which includes future events.

We chose Morton Grange for the care of both my father-in-law and my mother. We cannot praise them enough for the exceptional and compassionate care they both received through their illnesses and subsequent passing. All the staff create a warm family atmosphere for both residents and their families.
The care they and we received was supportive, dignified, professional and loving. We will be forever grateful for the time our relatives and we spent with them.

My wife moved from a local hospice to Morton Grange on 11th October, needing 24 hour end-of-life nursing care. From her arrival, to her death on 8th January, she received first-class care, both residential and nursing, and was kept pain-free. She was held in great affection by all who met her; she was
not a resident, rather a friend, and I was treated in exactly the same way when I visited her daily.
We spent our 65th Christmas together at Morton and the staff worked so hard to make it memorable. I treasure every minute and memory.

My Father has been a resident at Morton Grange since May 2023, initially on respite and since Aug 23 as a permanent resident. The care is exceptional and the staff are all very caring and professional. My Father enjoys the food too, which always looks very appetising. There are lots of events and activities
residents and sometimes families/friends can participate in too. The rooms are bright and very clean and furniture and fittings are in good condition. We have personalised Dad's room and the staff were very helpful with this too. I highly recommend Morton Grange to you.

We as a family could not recommend this care home enough. The care everybody gave our nana to the very end was absolutely amazing. Nothing was too much for all the staff they always went above and beyond. Morton Care Home isn't a 'business' it's definitely more of a family. The staff laughed with us,
created great memories (Thursday afternoon singer was our favourite) and cried with us towards the end. They went out of their way to make food which our nana fancied if she didn't want what was being made that day. As a family this stage of life is one of the most difficult things to witness but with how kind a caring all the staff are it made it a little more bearable to go home at the end of the day. We honestly can't thank you all enough for everything you did to care for her. She loved you all so much, you are all just fantastic!
Thank you!

Mum was there for 5 months as a dementia patient, she received the best care possible and I can honestly say I never saw any staff member behaving anything other than professional but also the warmth and love they give to the residents is heartwarming. At the end of Mum's life, we were there constantly
and the staff couldn't have been more caring to Mum and also family members. I feel I formed a friendship with several of the staff and will be eternally grateful for the way Mum was cared for. My elderly dad who visited every day, some days twice a day, was also very well looked after during his visits. Today would've been Mum's 85th birthday so my daughter-in-law, grandchildren, friend and myself popped in with cakes and goodies for the staff so they could share Mum's birthday celebration of life. It was a pleasure to see the staff again and I will be popping in again at some point with Dad, they really were our extended family. Thank you to you all.

I could not praise the staff at Morton Grange enough. My Dad has quite aggressive dementia but the staff are not phased by this and always make sure dad is comfy and happy. My dad came into Morton Grange about 2 months ago and the staff have been outstanding. They are kind, caring, attentive and always
go above and beyond to make sure my Dad's needs are met.
Today was my Mum and Dad's wedding anniversary and Morton Grange did a wonderful meal for them, they had put my dad in a shirt with a pocket hankie and wrote a card from him to my mum. The personal touches they go to for not only the resident but for the families are amazing.
My mum was very worried about my dad going into care but the reassurance and support from the fantastic staff at Morton Grange they’ve given my Mum the peace of mind and knowing he is in the right place to care for his needs. The staff always keep us up to date with dads health.
Have recommended Morton Grange to friends already. Thank you.

This care home is great! They cared for my wife with what was a very bad prion disease. It was very difficult for me to put my wife into their care but I never regretted it. They were so caring, lovely staff. They did what they could, kept me informed all the time. Love all of them.

My mother was in this care home for 10 years and now my father is in it. I have never had an issue with them during all these years, they have taken great care of my family and it puts me at ease, as I live in Canada. The owner is available for chats at any time.

We looked at several other care homes for my mother who is blind, disabled and aged 94 years old. This appeared to be the best and our experience with the home, shows it is outstanding. The staff are exceptional. The patience and time they give to my mother is really good.

My mother joined the Morton Grange family after her needs from having had a stroke approx. 4 years earlier had changed to requiring nursing care.
Before entering Morton Grange, my mother was very depressed, wouldn't mix with other residents and just wanted to die.
Wow, the change in my mother's mood
since becoming part of the Morton Grange family is indescribable.
She was happy, as happy as she could be under her unfortunate circumstances, joining in with the activities and socialising, her speech and mental wellbeing improved beyond recognition.
My mother was loved here, and she knew she was and appreciated everything the staff were doing for her. They gave her choices and valued her opinion, wishes and needs. They gave my mother her dignity back, empowered her and she regained her identity.
All the staff treated us as part of the family, and they are all a credit to the care profession. I cannot thank these amazing people enough and will be forever grateful.

Our sister had deteriorated with cancer and we chose Morton Grange to provide her with the end-of-life care she needed. Every single member of staff we met when we visited was kind and caring; they adapted things to meet her needs. We were allowed to visit at any time and did so every day and staff
kept us informed of any changes. Everything was first class, and I strongly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.644)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.644) out of 10 for Morton Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.811 for Morton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.811

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Morton Grange 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.833

  • 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.
