My Dad has been at Morgana Court for just over two years. The care is superb. The staff are caring and very kind. They know my Dad's preferences, likes/dislikes and what routine he favours. He is always clean, showered, shaved.
As a family, we are well informed and included in decisions about his
care. I know I can always chat with the staff about any concerns.
My Dad loves the food and there is a good choice. His room is always clean and tidy.

Reply from Stuart Davies, Quality Compliance Manager at Morgana Court and Lodge

Thank you for your kind review. We are happy to hear that your father has been receiving great care in his two years with us at Morgana Court. It is great to know that our staff's kindness and attention to his preferences have a positive impact on his well-being. We are committed to keeping families informed and involved in care decisions and it's pleasing to know that you feel included and can discuss any concerns with our team. Your father's enjoyment of the food and the cleanliness of his room is also good to know, as we understand the importance of these 2 key areas.

Disappointed that there has been no improvement on being able to gain entry to see my grandma. Waited 45 minutes on one occasion to get in. Attitude on some staff (mostly managers) is disgusting. They speak to you with no respect and like they know my grandma better than her family. Entertainment and
activities available could be massively improved. Some entertainment and activities seem very cheap and not well-prepared or thought out. Parking is a nightmare there, especially as there is a skip taking up space in the car park. Seating in communal area for visitors is extremely limited, more movable seats would be good.

Reply from Stuart Davies, Quality Compliance Manager at Morgana Court and Lodge

Thank you for your feedback. We value all input as it helps us to improve continually.
We are sorry to hear of the challenges faced on visiting and the issues you've raised. We take your concerns seriously and will review them internally.
Improving visitor access and waiting times is a priority for us, as we understand the importance of family connections. Our management team are committed to providing a respectful environment for all residents and visitors.
We usually have excellent feedback regarding our activities but will take your comments on board.
Parking can be an issue, and we have recently created more parking spaces available.
Lastly, we acknowledge your feedback on limited seating in communal areas, we’ll take on board your suggestion of moveable seating, but also need to balance that with resident safety, space, and practicality.
Your feedback is invaluable to us, please do reach out to us directly should you like to discuss any concerns in further detail.

I would like to say the care home has given my next of kin a new lease of life.
She is well cared for every effort is made to make her feel at home.
She lived on her own before moving to Morgana Court and Lodge and I'm sure she felt isolated.
She loves the company and the care she has been given.
The
staff are incredible nothing is too much trouble.
I couldn't be happier with the care home.
Many, many thanks to the staff on mine and her behalf.

The staff overall are very caring and understanding especially in view of mother's lack of sight which creates an issue regarding her need for constant attention, which obviously is not possible. The food she says is excellent as is her room, though we did have to ask for the medication cupboard to
be moved after she hit and cut her head on it. Although mother has only been a resident for six weeks we have come to know several members of staff and have been very pleased with their attitude and support with some of mother's issues.

Reply from Bikram Choudhary, Director at Morgana Court and Lodge

Thank you for the kind review. Unfortunately, medication cabinets in rooms are not suitable for all residents, and we are sorry your mother had this accident in her room. We are pleased the hard-working staff team have been attentive to her needs.

The staff at the Lodge are excellent and treat my mother with the utmost care and compassion and allow her to keep her dignity - I cannot fault them one bit. All the staff are very welcoming and we are more than happy at the level of care she is receiving.

It is a pleasure to walk into the home and all communal areas and this is due to the excellent cleanliness throughout. Exceptional care has been shown to our uncle since he has been a resident at Morganna Court. Most friendly staff and nothing is too much trouble for them. Very approachable and we are
kept fully informed of our Uncle's health and well-being. We have highly recommended Morganna Court to friends. Keep up the good work.

I have been very pleased with the care my mother and uncle have both received at Morgana Court and Lodge Care Home.
The staff are particularly kind and caring, with plenty of time for the residents, promoting a homely feel with lots of activities to stimulate and entertain.
Communication is very good.
Both
homes are spacious with good facilities including nutritious food.
I am very happy to have chosen Morgana Court and Lodge for my nearest and dearest and would recommend them to others.

My mother is a resident of Morgana Lodge and I can't begin to say how relieved I am that my mother is getting the best care there. I live far away and can't visit on a regular basis, but every time I call (I try to call at least 3 times a week), I am given all necessary information on my mother's well
being, eating, drinking, happiness, etc. I get to talk to her every time and the staff always make me feel like I'm a part of my mother's care. They are always happy to put my mam on the phone for me to talk to her, they never make me feel like it's an inconvenience. I have family visiting her and they always say the same thing - that the Lodge is taking really good care of her and she looks really well. In fact, I enjoy calling and speaking to the staff as they are so friendly and I would say that they treat my mam like family. So grateful for all that they do for her.

It's not an easy decision or realisation that your loved one needs to go into a care home even more so when this needed to happen during the Covid pandemic and we were cut off from Mum. Thankfully we chose Morgana Court and Lodge. Mum has been and continues to be cared for to the highest standard by
an amazing team, it was a horrendous time seeing Mum struggling but now because of the team around her we see a settled and happy Mum once again, who still has a voice and quality of life, we will forever be thankful to you all.

My wife has advanced Alzheimer's disease and is in a wheelchair during waking hours. In hospital, her quality of life was poor and even the short-term outlook appeared bleak. Since moving into Morgana Court, 17 months ago, her quality of life has been better than I had thought possible. Within a week
of her moving in, the nurses and management met with my family and drew up a care plan which was so much more in tune with my wife's needs than that provided by the hospital. There was an almost immediate improvement in her well-being, which gave us great confidence in the care home staff. The management, the nurses and care staff are extremely caring and conscientious and treat my wife and the other residents as family members. They provide stimulation, positivity and a range of activities. My wife's diet is limited to pureed food, but the kitchen staff produce attractively presented meals for her. It's a home from home. The quality of care provided is excellent. Highly recommended.

My mum is now a few months into being at the home. Mum is, at times, a wanderer and is up and down. The home has gone up and beyond to deal with my mum to make her safe and I know now she is very safe. Staff are all great, they call me to let me know when Mum's ok and when I need to know something.
So thanks to the team for everything you do for my mum.

The patience, care and understanding towards my sister by the staff has been exemplary. She has been at the home for 2 and a half months now and our confidence in the staff is well founded.
Use of the well kept gardens to front and rear means we can take her out, weather permitting. Overall an excellent
home for her care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.791)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.791) out of 10 for Morgana Court and Lodge 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.791 for Morgana Court and Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 187 Ratings = 4.791

  • 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 Morgana Court and Lodge is based on 15 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
