Since mum has been a resident at The Moorings she has had excellent care from the manager and kind staff. Her room is very comfortable, the large window and French doors overlook the lovely garden. Everything is always very clean and tidy. The freshly cooked meals are very good and plentiful. Mum enjoys tea/coffee and biscuits served mid morning, and tea and cake mid afternoon. Whenever we are visiting we are always offered these as the staff want us to feel just as welcome as if we were in mum's own home. Nothing is too much trouble. The doctor and nurse visit The Moorings very quickly when required for a health check or medication. Mum enjoys fresh air on fine days as staff take her around the garden in the wheelchair. Movement by ball and balloon games while sitting in the lounge are fun, and mum loves to make a fuss of the 'pat dog' on her regular visits. The staff are very kind and thoughtful. Mum is happy, feels safe and well looked after which means a great deal to her family.

My mum has been in The Moorings for over two years and I can't speak highly enough of the care and compassion my mum has received. It is a truly wonderful home that cares for all. Lots of activities to suit all needs and so much support for families too. I have really appreciated the open communication and all the carers and staff know and care about all the residents. I couldn't have wished for a better home for my mum. The manager, Dani, is superb, as are all her team! Nothing is too much trouble and no question goes unanswered. A real gem of a care home!

So firstly I would like to say how wonderful The Moorings care home is. I currently have my mother in residence and my father was until he passed away last month. The care my father received whilst he was in his last month of his life was truly amazing. From the mangers all the way to the laundry staff, the level of care and kindness is always such a high standard. If I can speak about food, it is so well prepared and always very tasty. Facilities are brilliant and their hygiene level is really top top. Activities are to a very high standard including visits from Elvis and many animal sanctuary's. If someone asked me to rate The Moorings it would always be 10/10 across the board.

Both my parents have been residents at The Moorings in Earsham for the past ten months, and the care they've received has been outstanding. From the very start, the staff have been warm, kind, and endlessly patient, always going above and beyond to make them feel at home. Both need support with mobility, and the team have helped them maintain their dignity and independence with real compassion. The home is spotless, welcoming, and full of warmth, with beautiful gardens and a lovely, calm atmosphere. The food is excellent, and the activities are thoughtful and engaging. Communication with families is brilliant, and we always feel included and reassured. We're so grateful to everyone at The Moorings for the care, respect, and kindness they show every day. It truly feels like a home from home, and we couldn't recommend it highly enough

Our team work incredibly hard to provide compassionate, personalised care in a homely environment, and knowing that this has made such a positive difference means so much to us.

Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. It is deeply appreciated.
Dad was cared for and looked after by the caring, dedicated and professional staff at The Moorings for 4 months. We can't praise them highly enough. He and all the family truly appreciated their friendship and care at the end of his life.

The Moorings is an absolutely amazing home with the kindest, nicest, most compassionate staff. My mother arrived in August 2023 in quite a bad way, but the carers, led by a wonderful lady, managed to settle her well and even got her involved in craft activities which she had never wanted to try in...
Sadly, she died in April this year but following her wishes she remained in the care home until the end and I can only say the team were even more wonderful, if that were possible, during her last days. I will be forever grateful for the care, patience, kindness and compassion they showed her and would highly recommend The Moorings as a safe, caring, friendly and all-round fantastic place for a relative or friend. A heartfelt thank you to everyone.
My Mother lived at The Moorings for just over 3 years until she passed away. She always seemed happy, calm and well cared for. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The manager in particular kept us updated on any changes and needs. Mum enjoyed being pushed around the lovely gardens...
Mum was treated with respect and dignity, especially in her last few days. Consequently, she remained calm and peaceful.
As soon as we walked into The Moorings we knew it was the place for Mum. It has the most friendly and welcoming atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble for the staff who take such wonderful care of Mum. (She is taking part in activities which we never thought she would do!). When mum was 90 she...
I would very much recommend The Moorings to anyone looking for a care home for friends or family.
My father and my stepmother went into care at The Moorings together quite a few years back. The staff were excellent in helping them to adjust to their new life and they were able to enjoy several years before my stepmother passed away. The care she received was kind, considered, supportive and...
For residents and family it is an enormous step when considering care be it temporary or permanent but I can look back over many years now of my dad’s care at The Moorings and feel that we were fortunate to have found this care home.
From the day we looked around the Moorings when considering where Dad would like to see out his final years, I have nothing but praise for the Moorings. It's a fabulous welcoming and most importantly homely and safe environment. Nothing is too much trouble for any member of staff from the cleaners...
This is all before you consider the immaculate and beautiful grounds that the care home is situated in. The gardens are kept to a very high standard and are a joy. Also, you can regularly see wildlife wandering in and out of the gardens which is lovely too. We couldn't have found a better care home.
Both my parents went into The Moorings in December 2022. Their care has been excellent. Mum received palliative care and sadly passed away in December 2023.

Both my parents went into The Moorings in December 2022. Their care has been excellent. Mum received palliative care and sadly passed away in December 2023. The care and compassion she received was exceptional. Dad being left on his own received love and support from all the staff there after Mum's passing and is still receiving wonderful support. Every time we visit, there is always a friendly atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble.
If you are having a dilemma about arranging care for...

Prior to her death, my mother was cared for in the most amazing and beautiful facility and spent her last years in the perfect and picturesque surroundings. The management and staff have been fantastic from the very first day to the last, when she passed in her sleep. The attention and care given to her throughout her stay was just exceptional. We could never have found a better place for her to live out the remainder of her life, surrounded by a professional and caring team. Literally, every staff member we came across was simply brilliant. We could not recommend this place highly enough. Our thanks to The Moorings!
Despite finding it hard to settle Mum...
In her last week they enabled us to spend valued and special time together, ensured she was comfortable and enabled her to have a 'good death' for which I will always be so grateful.
I was a resident for 6 months - July 2019 - January 2020. All care was excellent.
