From start to finish - excellent. I was supported from day one of my enquiry for respite care, from the telephone assessment and then trying to get a PCR test sorted over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend ready for my stay was quite stressful, but the staff at Morton Grange were excellent. Many many
thanks to you all. I really enjoyed my stay.

We had been searching for the right care home for Mum as we did not want her to be "another number" which is the impression we had assumed from a number of other homes. Morton Grange is literally on our doorstep, however, not our first consideration. We just wanted a place where we were safe in the
knowledge she was being not only looked after but cared for. Morton Grange has delivered this and more, every one of the staff we have dealt with have shown the same care and compassion for Mum and the other residents and this has been borne out in Mum's wellbeing since she arrived at Christmas. She was in a depressed state, shying away from social interaction and loss of appetite etc. when she arrived, and we honestly feared for her future. The staff at Morton Grange have supported her through this and now she is back to her former self and we could not have wished for a better outcome for her.

After the initial upset and sadness of my partner being admitted into care with Alzheimer’s, I soon became comforted and reassured by a very genuine caring and kind team of staff/management looking after her at Morton Grange.
My partner is treated very kindly with genuine affection by all the staff
I’ve seen looking after her.
Morton Grange appears to have a lot of long serving staff and management, with no agency staff, which I’m sure contributes to the positive culture and its success.
The more I visit Morton Grange the more I feel that we are lucky to have chosen it.

I am so pleased that we chose Morton Grange for my mum when she needed nursing care and I highly recommend it. We, as a family, have the peace of mind knowing that Mum is really well cared for by an amazing team of kind, caring and friendly staff. The home has a really welcoming family atmosphere and
I am always kept well informed and up to date with how Mum is doing. Mum has a lovely room and she really enjoys the food and there is a good programme of activities going on.

Moving Mum to Morton Grange was the best decision and I would not have wanted her to be anywhere else. At the time I didn't appreciate how crucial that decision would be. When Covid-19 turned our world upside down it was a great relief to me to know how loved and cared for Mum was there in every aspect.
Despite her dementia she settled so quickly. It was home. She came from a rural area and to see the farmland close by was something that was familiar to her. My mum was there for just over a year and although we had only been able to share in the socials and Mum's life briefly before restrictions prevented it, I loved the way staff always had time, nothing was too much much trouble and there was always such a lovely family atmosphere. During lockdown, their video calls to keep in touch were very special. We ,as a family, felt their care and support for us as well as Mum. Her last days were peaceful and we will be forever grateful for their excellent care.

The team at Morton Grange looked after my mum for complex end of life care. The staff were amazing. They provided true patient centered care and they extended this to the needs of my family. Morton Grange exceeded our expectations and we as a family would recommend Morton Grange without hesitation.
We are so appreciative of everything Morton Grange did for my mum and for us. They will always hold a special place in hearts. With grateful thanks.

I go to see my grandad and he is well looked after. When he has fallen and is on his way to the hospital, they always get hold of my uncle so he can go straight there to meet the ambulance. My grandad has a good relationship with the staff.

My husband has only been at the home since April 2021 and therefore due to covid restrictions, it's our experience of the care home. However, the staff are kind to my husband and family and he appears to have established a report with them. They always inform us of any problems that occur. He is happy
and appears well looked after.

A home that is really caring, friendly and committed to both residents and visitors. Residents and visitors are treated as if part of one big family. Residents are allowed and helped to utilize the best of their abilities and limitations. The interior decor is modern, bright and relaxing. Very informative
in regards to the latest situations, including the issuing of a monthly newsletter.

My sister was in Morton Grange for nearly two years. She went in for end of life care, but soon recovered and was back on an even-keel in her health within those three months. I was encouraged at my first meeting and staff were so positive and welcoming. The carers were so professional and loving to
my sister.

My sister spent 3 weeks here while work was being done on her home. She was very nervous about spending time in a home, the staff couldn't have been more welcoming or caring. I felt it was a positive experience for her and has taken away her fear of care homes. The staff are friendly and take an interest
in the residents - like one big family. We hope that when things return to normal to arrange a visit to see the new friends she made while staying at Morton Grange.

Our lovely mum was happy living in her bungalow until earlier this year when her health deteriorated and her life became very difficult. After spending several respite weeks in Morton Grange, she chooses to move in permanently, and it has been, she says, one of the best decisions she has ever made.
All the staff are excellent. They are kind, caring and very professional. Mum’s health has improved and, most importantly for her family, mum is happy, and is enjoying life again.

I have been a resident here for a long time now and I am taking the time to share my experience of the care provided here.
The staff work hard to provide a caring environment, such that I no longer view it as just a high-quality care home, I am actually proud to call it MY HOME.
The care, catering
and nursing care is of the highest standard and I feel extremely safe well cared for in my new home.
Thank you to all the staff from a very happy resident.

Our brother stopped at Morton Grange for only five weeks before he passed away. He was in the hospital for 9 weeks through ill health. From there he went to Morton Grange. The room was always very clean and the care he got was 100%. He said that the food was excellent and so was the care he got. It
was a care home that did not have that smell, like some of the care homes you go in. You can't go wrong putting family in there.

Mum has been at Morton for a month now and in this time, I have seen and experienced a consistently high standard of care from every member of staff.
This creates an ethos which enables mum to feel safe, secure and valued. Management is excellent, organised and everyone is approachable. I am kept informed
daily on mum's well being and I am able to feel confident that mum is cared for. Activities are varied and tailored to individual needs. It has mum's seal of approval and this is the highest accolade.

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.
