My Darling 93-year-old Dad lived in Morven House for just over a year, sadly he passed away a few weeks ago. Mum and I cannot emphasise enough what a wonderful home this is; Dad was treated with respect, care and loved by all the staff. Even though Dad had Alzheimer's he always seemed relaxed and content.
We were and still are, always made to feel welcome. When the time did come for Dad to pass, Mum and I were given our own private space in his room so that we could be with him alone for a few hours. The staff then washed him and put him in his finest clothes. Thankyou so much, everyone at Morven House.

Graham only uses other peoples clothes, why?
I have you a pair of trousers, I have only seen them once.
Reply from Delsy Ninan, Business Support Manager at Morven HouseThank you for sharing your concerns, and I'm sorry to hear that this has caused you worry.
Initially, due to a change in his size, some clothing provided through charitable donations within the home was used temporarily to ensure his comfort and dignity. Once suitable clothing in the correct size was provided by the family, this was discontinued, and he has been wearing his own clothes.
We will continue to monitor and review this to ensure his clothing is clearly organised and managed appropriately at all times. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and value your feedback.

My 91-year-old stepfather has been bed-bound since December 2024 and the staff have been so thoughtful and kind in making him as comfortable and as happy as possible.
He enjoys chatting to them and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I've noticed there is a gentle understanding between the carers and
the patients, and I've witnessed how quickly they respond to everyone's needs; their experience shows in every way. I am truly grateful to them all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father is currently a resident at Morven house. I chose Morven as previously my mother was a resident there. The staff and management are what makes this care home special I feel.
They have got to know my father and his likes and dislikes really quickly and are always super kind to him. The staff
get to know the relations of the residents also and always have time to discuss anything that's on your mind, which is really helpful if you're worried about your relative. Whenever I visit there's always a good atmosphere and there's also lots of genuine kindness and compassion for all the residents.


Some residents can be very awkward but I have only ever seen residents looked after incredibly well and with great patience and understanding. I have no hesitation in recommending this care home.
There are some lovely rooms here and staff are willing to help you make your relatives room feel homely and personal.

Reply from Delsy Ninan, Business Support Manager at Morven HouseWe truly appreciate your kind words. It's always a pleasure and a privilege for us to care for your loved ones. We're always happy to see you visit your dad-you're very much a part of our extended family. Thank you again for your encouragement and support.On behalf of Morven House

The staff have always been very friendly and have greeted us with open arms. We are treated like one of the family. We have seen recently, especially a vast improvement in our friend. The staff try to get her to interact as much as possible. We know that an entertainment lady used to come to the home
doing games such as Bingo etc. This would be a good idea to bring back. A big thank you to staff as they do a very difficult job and seem to do it with such ease. One other big positive is that the setting the home is in is idyllic and beautiful. We do not find any fault with this care home.
Reply from Delsy Ninan, office manager at Morven HouseWe are really grateful for your kind words of appreciation. We love your constant visits to Morven as it makes your friend and us very cheerful. Your positivity and support for our staff members really encourage us to keep up the good work.

My sister has only been at Morven House for 3 weeks but I am highly impressed by the care she is receiving. When viewing care homes, Morven House was by far the best one we saw.
The staff, at all levels, are incredibly friendly and helpful in all matters. My sister seems really comfortable and happy
at Morven House and I can see a really positive change in her since she’s been there. She is settling in well and it feels like she’s been there much longer than 3 weeks as it feels like home. I’m so happy my sister is there.
Reply from Delsy Ninan, Business Support Manager at Morven HouseThank you very much, we are over the moon to hear that you are happy. Your sister is a pleasure to look after. We hope to see more of you often.

Mum has been at Morven House for well over a year now. I am happy that Mum is looked after well and that her needs are met. I genuinely feel that the staff care about her and her wellbeing. Morven House is kept clean and Mum's room is always tidy and has a fresh feel about it.
The care home has started
to feel much more homely with pictures and photos around the place. The summer and Christmas parties are a lovely way for families to get together.

The staff at the facility consistently treats all residents with the utmost respect and kindness, demonstrating their warmth and professionalism from the moment one arrives. Since my aunt moved in, her happiness and sense of belonging have never been greater. The care and individual attention she has
received exceed my expectations and the staff's unwavering empathy and patience are truly remarkable.
The rooms are meticulously maintained, clothing is regularly laundered and a diverse selection of nutritious meals are provided daily. Additionally, residents enjoy a variety of scheduled activities such as singing, music and film screenings. Special occasions are also celebrated to create a homely atmosphere. The management's communication with relatives is exceptional.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife and I are 78 years old and our return car journey to Kenley is always 6-7 hours, so our visits are limited and we are unable to give some ratings.
On this visit, my sister-in-law looked well and was bright and cheerful and well cared for. The staff were all very helpful and considerate and
she was treated kindly. She was being involved in a number of social activities including a much-appreciated outing to the shops. The facilities were clean and neat, the residents seemed calm and settled and the staff were organised and competent which must reflect positively on the management of the facility. Our thanks for the care my sister-in-law is obviously receiving.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.528)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.528) out of 10 for Morven House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.728 for Morven House is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 147 Ratings = 4.728
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Morven House is based on 12 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 12 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.
