Review from T J (Grandson of Resident) published on 2 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have visited my grandmother at Alan Morkill House a number of times. Every time I have been welcomed by friendly members of staff who seem to take pride in their work and are respectful and supportive of the residents. The room my grandmother is staying in is large and cosy, with an ensuite bathroom,
she enjoys the view through her window. The main living room has a good atmosphere with comfy chairs. As is unavoidable in such a setting, my grandmother sometimes finds the necessary schedule of the day (for example mandatory meal times) a little waring, but overall she is very positive about the care she receives.

Every person I have spoken with has been so incredibly empathic and caring. Nothing has been too much trouble. I have recently reconnected with my long lost aunt and the staff have not only looked after and cared for her they have also been so wonderfully supportive of me getting to know my aunt again.

My brother was admitted to Alan Morkill House in April 2025. I have seen my brother settle in due to the excellent care from the staff. The room has been made comfortable to suit his needs. The manager is very kind and deals with any issues. I feel more at ease now I know he is in safe hands.

My mother-in-law, age 97, has been at Alan Morkill for six months now. After years of increasing upset living alone in her own home with advancing dementia, she is now finally settled, calm and safe. This we attribute to the dedication of her carers, her lovely room and opportunities to take part in
activities and socialise. Everyone we have spoken to is friendly and helpful, we are kept constantly in the loop regarding medical issues or items that she requires, such as clothing or books. The Manager has been incredibly supportive, understanding and sensitive to the family dynamics. It has been greatly reassuring for us to feel that she is being cared for by such kind people.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following the death of my father, I wanted to move my mother to London to be closer to me. The manager @ Alan Morkill could not have been kinder or more compassionate to us at this very difficult time. He was also extremely accommodating regarding logistics & the move: I was moving my mother, who suffers
from Alzheimers, into a new home, & city, hours from the home she'd shared with my father to live alone after nearly 70 years of marriage. She was made to feel welcome, permission had been given for a friend to unpack & set up her room (in advance of her arrival) so that the space felt familiar when my mother arrived.
The admin mgr was also extremely supportive and the carers kind & patient.
I have experience of both parents living in care & then nursing homes & Alan Morkill felt like a happy home in a way that none of the others have.

The person I was seeing, an ex Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Councillor. seemed happy and content in her room. She made no negative comments to me and my friend visiting. Overall there seemed to be a pleasant atmosphere at the home and we were given a warm welcome. It was an uplifting visit.
We plan to go see the lady again in the Spring.

I have no other issues with my visits except the wait time to enter the home could be more efficient. Having to wait around outside for 10 minutes while calling the home because no one is available to open the door is unacceptable. If visitors have only limited time we do not want to waste any of it
waiting outside.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My experience is not good regarding my Sister. Left sitting in a draft window opened on her back she caught a cold.
No treatment, no nurse with knowledge of the patient's needs. I had to actually take her to the bathroom in the end. She many times was often left incontinent, that was not told to her
relatives.
She caught Covid the signs were with her on 29th of November about 4 days before she was admitted to hospital. I saw my sister was unwell on the 29th of November the lady took her blood pressure i saw her with the sphygmomanometer and asked what was the readings she took. It was 120/70 and 72 pulse I requested the manager to get her seen, for her to be seen by the doctor. I telephoned 1st of December for any information I could get and was told by an agency staff member, she informed me she was an agency staff and did not have the report on my sister to give me, but I could call back. The next communication was when she was found unresponsive and very sick.

Excellent level of care. My relative has been there for just over a year. I visit weekly, and I have found Alan Morkill House practically faultless in every way. Management and staff deal with any health-related issues effectively, treat her with dignity and respect and keep her happy. Whenever I visit
I see a spotlessly clean, caring and happy place.

We moved my 93-year-old mum, who has dementia, from another home as it was closer to our home. The management and staff were very welcoming and accommodating before and after the move. The facilities, food and care are excellent. We feel it is a safe and caring environment for my mum. My mum has settled
very well and is happy.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.520)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.520) out of 10 for Alan Morkill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.520 for Alan Morkill House is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 229 Ratings = 4.52
  2. 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 Alan Morkill House is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
