Review from E S (Relative of Resident) published on 9 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
If you want a personal touch and have your family member feel like family, Moorlands is the place to be.


It's those little touches the staff provide for the residents which give the homely experience to the home, which for me made me feel happy and confident that my relative would be well cared for

here and I was not wrong.

Moorlands is a lovely care home where my relative lived for a few years and was very happy here. The staff are kind and caring they go the extra mile to meet the needs of the residents living in the home. They are supported by the management team who work hard. They have a varied range of activities
going on within the home to meet everyone's likes.
I would highly recommend Moorlands to anyone looking for a placement.

Moorlands Residential Home continues to provide excellent care for my father. The care given by the staff is wonderful and caring, and he could not be in a better place. The environment is homely, and the resident activity coordinator ensures a wide range of activities to stimulate and entertain everyone.
I would recommend anyone who needs to place a loved one in care, either permanently or for respite to consider Moorlands Residential Home. We a very happy with the care and are always kept informed.

Review from Debbie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 94-year-old mother was a resident at Moorlands from October 2019. Mum settled in really quickly, all the carers have been so lovely with Mum. The care home is small which makes the place very personalised. The home dealt with the covid restrictions amazingly, activities happen 5 days a week, which
includes varied group activities and one to ones.
Our mum sadly passed away in March, the home was able to provide her end of life care, and were so amazing with Mum (and the family) showing that they deeply cared for my mum. I was able to be with Mum each day, after showing a negative covid test so I was able to witness the excellent care our mum received.
We were so pleased we chose Moorlands for our mum as she was so happy there and we’d have no hesitation in recommending Moorlands.

Review from Rosemary E (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Moorlands is a very homely place by virtue of its traditional build and a small number of residents. The welcome is warm and friendly at any time of the day; staff members are always at hand to attend to any requests. There is a feeling of genuine care, fondness and compassion and most staff seem to
have been working there for many years. Residents are encouraged but not forced to engage in communal meals and activities. A hairdresser visits weekly and a choice of meals is offered three times a day, plus drinks, cakes and snacks in between and on request.
My mother, who was very frail on arrival, has put on some much-needed weight and looks much better since she moved in a few months ago. She feels secure, cared for and warm, and her medication is managed responsibly, resulting in an improvement in her general health and well being.
Suggestions are well-received. Staff at every level are keen to make any changes that would improve the quality of life of the residents.

My mother has been at Moorlands Residential Care Home for over two years now. She has progressive dementia and finds it difficult to walk, but the staff are extremely caring to her, always friendly and welcoming to her and to myself. When I visit, there are always activities going on for the residents.
I never leave after my visits, worried that I have left her at the home because I know she is well cared for. It is a very "homely care home", with very good staff.

My mother is 101. We cannot express our thanks enough for the care my mother receives from Moorlands. Everyone of the staff are very caring and take so much interest in each of the residents - real quality care and would highly recommend this home.

Review from Jonathan B (Son of Resident) published on 5 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In 2017, my mother was evicted from a failing care home that had run into financial difficulties, along with 20+ others. I was very lucky to find Moorlands. Unlike the previous home, Moorlands is privately owned and has had the same manager, for a number of years. Also unlike the previous home, my
mother's new home scores consistently high on CQC inspections. The staff turnover, always a key indicator, is very low. The manager runs a happy home for both the staff and the residents. The catering is good, with many of the meals prepared using fresh produce grown in the grounds of the home. There is excellent provision for activities, run by a lady who spends time with the residents. The home is always clean.


All in all, a very well-run place, and one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Moorlands Residential Home is a home from home with the comfort and care that you would expect for your loved one. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful and will go that extra mile in making sure residents are happy and feel safe. There are varied activities every day including a day set aside for
pampering such as hairdressing and manicures on a Friday. Food is freshly prepared every day with a varied menu. There are several outings arranged every year which the residents enjoy and many outside entertainers visit the home every month encouraging the residents to take part in singing and using musical instruments.etc. All in all, Moorlands is an extremely good care home and is run sympathetically by its manager and proprietor.

I cannot fault the staff, they are always very caring and thoughtful and seem to genuinely like the residents.
They are always willing to answer any questions I might have and if they can't help, they will make sure someone gets back to me.

My mother has lived at Moorlands Residential Home for over ten years and has been very happy. The staff do all they can to make everyone enjoy their stay. It is a real home from home. I would (and have) recommend moorlands to anyone needing to move into care. This was an excellent decision for my
mum. I can not fault any aspect of the care provided. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, they really care about both the people they work for and their relatives.

We cannot thank Moorlands staff enough for the kindness shown towards mum since her arrival.


Nothing has been too much trouble in any respect, either during the day or night. In mum's own words, she considers herself very fortunate to have found a 'home from home' and feels very secure and well looked

after.


As a caring family who have it found it hard to accept that we can no longer cope with mum's needs at home, we are very grateful to have peace of mind that she is now being properly cared for. We visit most days and always feel welcomed into a warm and friendly environment.


Mum enjoys the range of daily activites and looks forward to the hairdresser service on Fridays. As a very fussy eater, mum reports that the food is home cooked using fresh produce.


At almost 95 years old, and having been lovingly cared for in our family home for 14 years, it is a relief to have found this gem where attention to detail can provide a safe and happy haven.
