My mother has been a permanent resident at Morton Grange since May, previously she visited for respite. I visit daily and assist with eating and bedtimes. She is content but has bouts of challenging behaviour, which the staff deal with stoically, they treat her with care. consideration and gentle
persuasion. The Home is spotlessly clean. Her clothes are changed when necessary/laundered daily (she spills - because of a tremor, and throws - because of temper). The quality, selection and variety of the food are very high and her eating issues (dementia-related swallowing issues) have been resolved in that her food is blended to the extent that it can be liquidised to a soup so she can drink it. The nursing staff are informative. supportive and willing to discuss issues and solutions. Care staff are friendly, attentive and address needs regularly and efficiently. Activities are varied, entertaining and frequent. The whole team work together and supply quality of care that is second to none.

My Mum spent the last 7 ½ years of her life living at Morton Grange, where we regarded as her home.
Throughout this time, Mum had always been cared for with love, kindness, dignity and respect by all members of staff, this enabled her to feel safe and relaxed.
I have always been very pleased with
the level of support given to myself and other family members, during this time.

Everyone gets involved, including owner at Morton Grange, we cannot praise them enough, for just under the 4 years dad was resident.
After the normal teething adjustment when he first lived there, since then they made it his home and treated him as part of one big family.
Only when looking back
through newsletters do you appreciate how much activities and entertainment, as well as day trips out, meals out, just a ride round in minibus to see the seasons, they do with residents.


Towards the end of his life, from the owners, the matron, numerous carers, down to laundry and kitchen staff were second to none, so supportive, caring and understanding.
Not only there for dad, but for mum and myself. They made his last years enjoyable, cared for and loved.
For that, we thank them and give praise where praise is most definitely due.

My mum was in Morton Grange for 2 weeks at Xmas. My family and I were highly delighted with the care she received, the interaction with staff and the residents was excellent nothing too much trouble for them.
The meals were very good with varied choices each day.
I was able to relax at home and know
my mum was safe and being properly looked after
Mum will definitely be going back there next time she has respite.

He has been treated very well and with respect. He has only been here for 2/3 weeks but we feel he is being looked after really well. All the staff are marvellous and cannot do enough for he or my husband. He is kept clean and tidy, having a shave every day. We feel he is in good hands.

I have had many conversations with management and various staff and found them all to be very warm and welcoming to my husband and myself. I was very impressed by the family feel of the wards/rooms and the atmosphere of a real home. Nothing seems to be too much trouble with all the resident's needs
being met with all medical needs put in place for any emergency. In all, I feel so relieved that I can leave my husband in such caring and comfortable hands and I too feel part of a big and happy family.

My wife has been in Morton Grange for three and a half years. Although there have been changes in staff over that period, I cannot say I have disliked any member of staff.


I visit on average twelve times per week and I have never seen anything that disturbs me. Patients are taken at frequent times

to the toilet. If my wife wants changing at any time, her needs are promptly dealt with. (I have no complaints).

The care afforded to my dear elderly friend was exemplary. Sadly she only spent a relatively short time at Morton Grange but settled in very well and happily. The personalised care offered to all residents was so good to see and the care and attention and the interest the staff took in those in their
care was wonderful.
Staff took a great deal of time to find out as much as possible about my friend, her family, interests, hobbies etc and then most importantly did their best to follow up on those interests through their daily activities whether it was joining in the in-house activities or going to a garden centre, shopping or just being in the gardens enjoying the fresh air.
The nursing and personal care were professionally and kindly administered - so refreshing to see staff who really cared about the residents.
I was always welcomed as a visitor whatever time I visited - thank you.

I looked all around Matlock and Chesterfield for a suitable home for my very active aunt aged 96. When I went into Morton Grange and spoke to the owner, manageress and staff I knew it was ideal. They were dedicated, caring and enjoyed there work. The owner advised I also look at other homes but none
matched Morton Grange.


Sadly my aunt was not there very long but throughout her stay, the staff, service and care exceeded my initial impressions. I could not fault anything. I know that because this is an owner run home there is a dedication to care and services. I am still in contact with the home and would recommend it for all the care they offer.

My father spent the last 2 weeks of his life in Morton Grange, where he was looked after in a very caring and professional way.
Not only were the nursing staff very good but everyone from administration to management were attentive and welcoming to the family.
We could not have asked for more, we
would not hesitate in recommending Morton Grange to anyone needed a safe and caring environment for their loved ones.

My father has been a resident for almost 3 years. The nurses and carers are kind and attentive and cannot be faulted. They are patient and always cheerful even in difficult situations. The management are visible and play an important and proactive role in daily life. They organise many activities for
the residents both inside and outside the home including friends and family of the residents.

In the past 15 years, we have had four of our relatives in the care of Morton Grange. The fourth being my brother who is currently there. Through these times we have been so grateful for the high standard of care that's been shown to the members of our family, all with their different and sometimes
challenging needs.
There are too many homes out there that are not fulfilling what they should be doing and that is caring. Morton Grange do their very best for everyone, that includes the residents relatives who are always listened to if they have problems.

My wife has been at Morton Grange for six years now. We looked at other care homes but decided on Morton Grange for her and it was the best decision we could have made, she has always been happy there.
It is well run from the top down. The care staff are brilliant. They are well trained and treat
the residents with respect and help them to keep their dignity. I am always made welcome whenever I visit with a smile and a friendly word. The entertainment for the residents is top class as are the trips ou in the mini bus. So from my experience, I can highly recommend Morton Grange.

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.
