Review from Jen R (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Morel is a really caring residential home which looks after my father really well. He is 93 and would like to depart this world, but in the meantime, the lovely staff at Morel make him content: they are courteous and kind, respectful and firm. Lots of thought goes into making the residents' lives varied
and interesting, if that's what they want. If not, the lounge is very pleasant and the garden with its hens and flowerbeds, is a peaceful retreat.
Reply from Suzanne Taplin, Home Manager at Morel CourtThank you for your positive comments regarding the care and support your Father receives at Morel Court. It is important that our staff team recognise each resident as an individual and to make their time with us as peaceful and fulfilling as possible. It was pleasing to see that this home can live up to MHA value of being the best we can be.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My late mother attended Morel court, twice a week, for over two years. She was greeted warmly on arriving each visit and was made to feel welcome. I found all the staff she came into contact with, to be kind and caring towards her.
A range of activities were available every day and my mother would
always be more animated after these visits. I was more than happy to leave my mother in the safe hands of the staff at Morel Court, and I will be forever grateful for the friendliness and empathy shown to her.
Reply from Suzanne Taplin, Home Manager at Morel CourtWe are very grateful for your kind and positive feedback which we will ensure is given to the staff team at Morel Court. We are delighted to see that you felt your Mother benefited from the support that the home was able to give and that this experience has made you confident in giving the home such a recommendation.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for Morel Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.839 for Morel Court is calculated as follows: ( (289 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 335 Ratings = 4.839
  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 Morel Court is based on 28 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 28 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.
