Extremely impressed with the staff's attitude to the residents. Treated with empathy and dignity. The cleaning is very impressive, chairs cleaned, floors washed, which is a daily occurrence. Most importantly, there was also fun!

I am very glad that Mum is a resident in Moorland House. The staff are very caring and it's run by a wonderful director who goes above and beyond to make the residents happy and cared for. She organised activities most days to keep Mum happy, singing, playing games and favourite visits from the animals. A hairdresser pays regular visits. Also has her nails painted. She has a cosy room with her personal things. Food is excellent. I am delighted that Mum is well looked after.

I find Moorland House Care Home to be very warm and comfortable and is made up of two lounges and a dining room for patients, the bedrooms are very nice with a toilet and washing facilities, wardrobes and dressing table and a comfortable bed. The food also is very good. They have a good-sized garden where in the summer on warm days, patients can sit outside. I am very pleased that my wife is being looked after at Moorland House and she wouldn't be better anywhere else.

Such lovely staff, so patient and so respectful of all the residents, they deserve a medal. The care manager goes above and beyond her job role to inform us of any changes with our nan who is 103. They helped organise our nan's birthday celebrations through COVID regulations and coordinated video call meetings with all our family. Any requests for extra tea and sweet treats for my nan are always given to Nan without any questions. It's not the most upmarket care home but what it lacks in style it gains in old-value traditional caring and support.

After moving my brother from another care home, Moorland House was so supportive of us as a family. He settled very quickly due to the support of the special manager and her team of great carers. I always feel very welcome, reassured and supported by the team. The home is such a lovely homely environment. In the other home, my brother was isolated and never socialised but at Moorlands he comes down for all his meals and sits with his 'mates'. We as a family could not be happier with the care he is receiving.

Thank you to all the staff at Moorland House, especially the manager, for making my husband so warmly welcomed, settling him in and being cared for. It was a difficult decision for me to relinquish my role as his carer. The home is a happy place, very clean, with lots of activities. The food is excellent with a varied menu, all freshly prepared. I really like the open door policy as it makes visiting easy.

Extremely good.

I have found all the staff at Moorland to be caring, responsive and happy to discuss anything. Good humour is be found wherever possible. The home remains friendly whilst being immaculately clean. Every staff member is sensitive to the patient’s needs. They have a lovely team looking after people.

Under new ownership with a very caring team, very responsive to the needs of both residents and relatives. The manager is all you could ever wish for in the role. Lots of ongoing improvement initiatives and excellent communication. This is my second experience of two different care homes for both parents. I have no hesitation in recommending Moorland House Care Home and the team as they are experts at making sometimes difficult and stressful situations easy and manageable for both residents and relatives alike. Five-star.

Thank you for making Mother’s Day lunch special for Mum and me. Your efforts were really appreciated. You sat us in a very sunny place with privacy. The food was beautifully cooked and very tasty.

Moorland House was the perfect solution for respite care for mum. We found the care home to be very homely and comfortable. The home is kept extremely clean. We found the staff to be relaxed and calming, which was exactly the approach we needed over mum's fortnight, respite stay. The staff at Moorland House have a good understanding of dementia care, which is evident in every interaction. We have no complaints whatsoever. Mum returned home happy and content. Thank you.

The team treated my grandmother with such care and respect. She was always dressed well and cared for in the best way. The staff kindly accommodated her needs when she could no longer manage to get upstairs and my grandma always said how lovely and plentiful the food was. Cannot thank them all enough.

Moorland House helped us at a very difficult time with Mum, we needed emergency respite care which they provided to start with. We were greeted, Mum, me and my husband, with exceptional understanding and compassion and understanding of our situation by the manager which was such a relief during our very desperate time. The patience and caring attitude of the staff helped so much and it became very obvious to us we couldn't cope with her dementia with carers at home anymore. Anyone who has been in this situation will understand how traumatic this is for the family. The staff were reassuring and so kind and patient to both us and Mum. The room was large and comfortable with an ensuite and we were able to take Mum's things in such as her TV - all helping her to settle. We are very grateful for all the help we got and how caring the staff were. They were proficient at getting medical assistant as and when needed, which meant any treatment that was needed was prompt and any issue dealt with.

Moorland House has recently been sold and is under new ownership. We were very happy with the care my father-in-law received, but as he, unfortunately, died just as the new owner took over we can't say the same about the way we have been treated since. Having initially agreed to refund fees paid in advance, we had 5 weeks of extremely poor communications and trying to avoid a refund before having to send details of their obligation under consumer law to finally receive a partial refund.

My friend finds Moorland House very comfortable and friendly.

Staff are friendly and caring. Rooms and areas kept clean and tidy. Information is passed on to me when the doctor etc has visited.

My mother is currently resident and despite her initial reservations and resistance to join in and embrace, she has now settled nicely. This is due entirely to the dedication and patience of the staff who have treated her with dignity and as an individual the whole time. Credit is due to all the staff at the home for their care and compassion.

My husband moved into Moorland House recently after a stay in hospital and what can I say he has never been happier. The quality of care is exemplary, the whole of the staff team are all fantastic, particularly the home manager, office administrator, care coordinator and especially one certain carer who is extremely professional and compassionate in all that she does. They have all been more than helpful. The food is of a very high quality. My Husband is encouraged to get involved in all the activities on offer, and I must say his social life is better than mine. I would recommend Moorland House to anyone who is looking for a care home.

Nan has recently moved into Moorland House and from the start, we have been treated with the utmost respect. Nan has settled in really well, which we were worried about how she would settle, as she had dug her heels in and did not want to leave her home, she now calls Moorland House home which is a huge relief to us as a family. The staff treat everybody with dignity and respect and have a lot of time for the residents and go out of their way to make all relatives welcome. The food is always freshly cooked, always looks good, nan said it always tastes nice too. Management is very friendly and seems to know the residents very well, there is a good rapport between the staff and the residents. There are activities going on most days, which nan enjoys, she has not once said a bad word about the place, the family as a whole feel so glad we have found this place.

Very good and very helpful. Staff are pleasant and help you with anything you want. There is always someone to talk to. I love sitting in the gardens in the summer. I wish they would take us out to the shops or garden centres sometimes. I would like more singers please.
