My mum is so happy and feels so safe at Morel Court, all staff members treat her with dignity and respect and promote and support her independence as far as possible. They always have time to attend to all her needs and are very quick to respond to any questions and queries I may have. Communication with relatives is excellent and they provide lots of activities and outings and care for my mom holistically, respecting her religious and cultural needs. I would definitely recommend Morel Court to anyone who is considering a care home for their loved one. Thank you for all the care and attention you give.

Our mum lived at Morel Court for 2 years until she died at the beginning of August. My sister and I were extremely happy with the kindness, care provided by all the staff, including kitchen, cleaners, laundry, gardeners but especially the care staff and managers, who showed great compassion and responded extremely well to mum's personal care needs. Mum's health and dementia deteriorated over her last couple of weeks and staff were exceptionally compassionate to her and our needs. We can't thank them enough for being with her when she died.

The staff at Morel Court organised a swimming session for my mum and also a trip to Barry Island for the day, both of which were truly wonderful. The staff are all so caring and thoughtful and they have made me realise that having new experiences and happy memories and bringing joy does not have to end when you are 92 years old and living in a care home. Thank you so very much to you all.

After over twelve years of care I can only say we are so glad we chose this home. Individual needs are met and a community spirit among the residents encouraged supplementing the lessening of previous social contacts. There were no offensive or hard words used. Residents had the option to express their opinion on the menu or extra activities and their dignity respected. The underlying Christian influence was much appreciated.
