My cousin is happy and settled well in a very short period of time. Staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Management are approachable and helpful and understand the residents well. The home smells clean and fresh and often a hive of activities with laughter. The food smells divine!

from Beryl W (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother was put into care after six weeks at Bournemouth hospital where at 100 she was deemed unable to go home alone. She settled in quickly at Moorland, treated with respect and a very caring staff. It was a relief to see her settled and happy. There is nothing they wouldn't do for her, including

a lovely 101st birthday! Thank you, Moorland, Barton on Sea.

Glebe House Nursing Home
from Paul R (Son of Resident) published on 7 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I visit Glebe House regularly and have done so since my mother became a resident in late 2022. I cannot praise the staff and management enough for the way they run the home and the care they provide for Mum and all the residents. I can just tell from Mum's responses that she is very happy with the care

she receives at Glebe House. Another aspect which is quite reassuring is that she is always clean and has a smart appearance when I arrive. I encourage her to participate in the many activities that the staff arrange daily and weekly. When I visit I am always made to feel welcome and every task is carried out professionally, safely and securely especially when moving my mother to a place of privacy. I am always kept informed if there is a concern or health issue that requires local attention or GP advice. I would thoroughly recommend the standards set by this care home.

Overall Experience

Dad has been here for a few months now and has settled very well with the help of all the wonderfully caring staff, his room is always lovely cosy and warm. Dad being away from home was hard for us all to accept, especially as he is the centre of our world, but knowing he is at Glebe House being care

for so well makes it easier. The meals are lovely and dad has gained weight and looks really well. So a big thankyou from every one of us.

from Faye S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 9 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our family cannot express enough how happy we are with this care home. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff here are absolutely incredible - they are not only highly professional but also kind, compassionate and genuinely dedicated to the

well-being of every resident.
It is clear that they treat each resident as an individual, with so much care and attention to their specific needs. They always go above and beyond to make sure everyone feels comfortable, valued and loved. The activities, meals and overall environment are all thoughtfully designed to create a positive and stimulating experience for the residents. The peace of mind this care home has brought to our family is truly priceless.

Overall Experience

As a family, we can only give this fabulous home 5 stars plus another 5 stars. The care and support given to Mum and to us was absolutely amazing. They could not do enough for Mum and for us and cooked special meals to encourage her to eat.
Sadly mum passed away and all the staff could not do any

more for mum or for us. They went way, way beyond in their care and respected Mum and us during the difficult time. A huge thank you.

Overall Experience

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.

Moorland House
from Robin B (Husband of Resident) published on 5 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Review of
Moorland House
from Janet M (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 13 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Lisa Wallace, Manager at Moorland House

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us, Nan is an absolute pleasure to have. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Moorland House
from L G (Sister of Resident) published on 20 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Lisa Wallace, Manager at Moorland House

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us, we are so pleased you chose Moorland House to look after your brother - it's been our absolute pleasure to have you all a part of the Moorland House family. We look forward to many more shenanigans in the future.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Glebe House Nursing Home
from G B (Husband of Resident) published on 8 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My experience of the care shown to my wife at Glebe House, where she has been a permanent resident since May 2021, is extremely positive. The staff combine excellent professional care, personal attention and respect for the individual's dignity, with equally good management. There is alertness to physical

health factors, including contact with the local GP if required. Regular arrangements are made for podiatry. There are organised social events and trips away from the care home. There is evident willingness to communicate with me and I am in email and telephone contact with the staff as necessary. My wife's room is comfortable. Very importantly, she seems fully content and at ease in the Glebe House environment. I report this on the basis of regular visits to my wife, when I am able to witness the care she receives and to have discussions with the staff concerning her personal welfare. During my visits, while in the public spaces, I have observed that the care shown to my wife is also shown to other residents.
