Muscliff Nursing Home

from B M (Wife of Resident) published on 1 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During the last 4 year period from 2011 to 2025 it has been my pleasure and experience to relate with confidence to the specialised nursing care and attention that my husband (Jack) has received. I have always considered the care, management and nursing staff outstanding, and would welcome the continuity
of Muscliff Nursing Home and its first-class status.
Reply from Sara Gallagher, Operations Manager at Muscliff Nursing HomeThank you so much for taking the time to post this review. I will be sure to share it with the Muscliff team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother spent his last couple of months living at Muscliff and their care and attention to his needs could not have been better. With advanced Dementia, some of his needs could be challenging but nothing was a problem for them. There is a very strong culture of respect and of affording dignity to
everyone and the staff group and Manager are extremely supportive to families as well as residents. The facilities at the home are exceptional and the staff very well trained and the right people for the job! With impressive activities and events, my brother could not have been better cared for. Thank you to everyone working there.
Reply from Dedrey Charles, Home Manager at Muscliff Nursing HomeThank you for the feedback. Ensuring all our residents have a meaningful day is at the core of our care delivery. Staff training ensures our team is competent to deliver the right care at the right time every time for the residents that we are privileged to support.

Excellent staff and activities. Always welcoming. Amazing with residents. Vast range of activities that go on every day to cater for everyone. Home is always warm and happy. Cheerful staff who are always willing to help and answer any queries. Could not ask for better residential care for my mother.
All her needs are met and we are reassured she is happy and receiving the best possible care.

I feel lucky to have found Muscliff Care Home for my wife. She has been a resident for 15 months and the care provided during that period has been exceptional. The staff is so well trained and qualified that the home runs efficiently as individual members of staff know what care is required and administer
it before it becomes a problem. It is a pleasure to visit the home to see my wife as she always appears to be happy and contented. The home is clean and the residents are presented in a clean and tidy fashion. It is a pity that Muscliff is not used as an example of care for dementia patients as many other homes who advertise dementia care just haven't got a clue.

I am impressed with the way the staff care for my husband; they always seem to be kind and respectful. He cannot really communicate, and they take trouble to try to explain things and find out what he wants. Such as extra drinks during this hot weather. The atmosphere is quite jolly and the activities
put on by staff such as the fashion show are great fun and it was noticeable they way all the residents seems to respond. It is all much appreciated. It helps to make what is a very sad situation for me somewhat better.

My family and I are extremely happy that my husband has come to be cared for at Muscliff Nursing Home. He has presented some challenging behaviour, but all the staff have been amazing, patient, and kind. I am always welcomed with a smile, no matter what time I visit. He is kept well-shaven, clean and
tidy and always in his own clothes. I couldn't wish for a happier and caring home.

As a family, we feel blessed to have found Muscliff Care Home. Having to accept that the time had come for our father to go into care was the most difficult decision we've had to make as a family. We received so much support and have continued to do so during the 15 months Dad has been a resident. All
of the staff are very caring, attentive and have the utmost respect for the residents. The whole team are led by the manager and another member of staff and we are so grateful for their dedication. Everyone from the management, nurses, carers, kitchen, laundry and maintenance do everything they can to provide a happy, safe environment for both residents and visitors. Thank you.

Muscliff Nursing Home

from Deborah W (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Absolutely the worst care home my mum has been in and over the past 3 years my mum has sadly been in 8 care homes in Dorset due to misdiagnosis of her condition.
All my concerns I have photos to prove my mum was left upstairs for over 12 weeks like a caged animal left in her own urine for over 7 hours
no clothes on no sheets on the bed with sores scratches and bruises on her.
The manager comes across as caring but don't be fooled muscliff received 10,000 from the council one of 5 care homes for acoustic monitors in rooms which written permission was meant to be had before done NEVER was it's meant to be extra protection for falls.
My mum was left unattended on her commode at 2am in the morning a high risk fall since March my mum aged 79 has been in hospital with a double break on her wrist AND and open fracture which needed surgery my mum is terrified to return muscliff knew she wouldn't go back but they have still been getting £2000 a week chc funding theft abuse neglect.
Reply from Dedrey Charles, Home Manager at Muscliff Nursing HomeIm truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. I understand your concerns and appreciate you sharing your experience. However, I respectfully disagree with your assessment of Muscliff Nursing Home. While it's unfortunate that your mum had a negative experience, it's important to consider that we faced challenges in managing her behavioural needs while supporting her wish to be independent. At Muscliff we take all concerns seriously and are committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care to every individual we support. We work with multiple agencies to ensure our service are to a high standard and this is audited internally and externally. Our commitment to providing exceptional care remains at the forefront of the Muscliff Team. Once again, we are very sorry that you feel the experience did not meet your expectations.

Mum has been at Muscliff for over 5 years and we have seen lots of changes in that time. What has not changed is the care, compassion and support that the staff have shown to our mother. The home is always a happy, vibrant place to visit, there is always something going on, from entertainers, activities,
outings and visits to food tasting and fashion shows. We feel very lucky to have such a great place for mum to live.

I was extremely fortunate to choose Muscliff Nursing Home for my Mother's End-of-Life- Care. Muscliff is lead by a highly experienced Manager, supported by an excellent Deputy Manager. All the other staff are absolutely amazing, so kind, so helpful and so caring. All exceptionally well trained. Always
polite and courteous, nothing was ever too much trouble for any of them. I was constantly kept updated regarding my Mother's health and her day to day well being. Additional Medical support was available and called in when necessary. The home is spotlessly clean, highly organised and has a lovely homely feel to it. l only wish that l had found this amazing Nursing Home earlier. Thank you to all the lovely staff, I am truly grateful for everything that they did for my Mother - she had wonderful care.

My dad was cared for by Muscliff for many years, we moved him from several care homes from him not being cared for correctly. Once we moved him to Muscliff that was the place he'd be cared for till he passed away.
The home is a lovely place, the staff are so accommodating and there are lots of things
for residents to do. Communication from the home is great too, they send out a weekly email with the activities the residents can do and any updates on your loved ones.
Will definitely consider Muscliff if a home is needed in the future.

My mother has been a resident at Muscliff Nursing Home since May 2022. She has advanced Vascular Dementia and is physically very frail. The staff have always shown kindness and compassion towards Mum and have always been very welcoming to family members when we visit her.
The nursing team keep us updated
on any physical health concerns that they have for Mum and has always been prompt to get medical attention for her when needed.
Overall the quality of care is much better than most of the Nursing homes that I visited before Mum came to live at Muscliff.
