My mother moved in a couple of weeks before the pandemic. She found the move unsettling due to her dementia and the fact we couldn't visit made things worse. The staff were clearly experienced in dementia care and looked after her well, taking everything in their stride. When she was at the end of her
life, they provided excellent care for her and fantastic support for us as a family. We will always be thankful for the excellent service provided.

My husband's stay was for only five days, during which ti,e he was not really conscious, so I cannot comment on food or activities. During his final days, he received care which was totally exemplary. Staff were calm, competent, cheerful and loving, so he was calm, pain-free and stress-free. The whole
environment was restful and comfortable, and I cannot speak too highly of the entire team. I shall be forever grateful for the support given when our family most needed it. I would recommend Moreton Hill without hesitation.

My brothers and I placed Dad into Moreton Hill Care home for what turned out to be the final six months of his life. He received excellent care throughout this time. He was always treated with respect, which allowed him to maintain his dignity, even with his deteriorating physical and mental health.
This is how I saw other residents treated as well. The facilities are excellent and clean. Although Dad's disabilities restricted him from using them, he was given one to one therapy in his room. The staff went out of their way to treat Dad and myself as a friend and family members. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home to anyone requiring to place a loved one into care.

Reply from Catherine Crawshaw, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre

Thank you very much for taking the time to review Moreton Hill. It means so much to the team. It is heartwarming to read that you all felt part of the Moreton Hill family. It is a privilege to care for our residents and for your dad at the end of his life.

My father received excellent care at Moreton Hill Care home across his final six months of life. He was always treated with respect and looked after so well, especially as both his physical and mental health deteriorated. Moreton Hill always felt like a sunny, uplifting place to visit, where resident's
independence and dignity were respected. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the care home to anyone looking for a safe and quality care provider for a loved one.

Reply from Daney Thomas, General Manager at Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre

Thank you for the care and kindness you gave Dad during his stay at your home. It was always reassuring to us to see him comfortable and smiling when we visited. This was down to the exceptional care that you gave him. Talking to you, we could relate to your experiences interacting with Dad. To know
that he was smiling, winking and also the odd "naughty word" showed us that he was truly contented. Whilst at times, we know he could be a challenge, we all saw the character and spirit that made him the man that he was. All your roles in these last few months really mattered to Dad; he truly brightened up, and you helped him pressure his dignity and manage his failing health with courage. Everything that you have done has really been appreciated, both in taking the strain off us and giving Dad the best care possible over the last six months. Thank you.

I feel so lucky that we found this care home. My sister and I really needed to find somewhere for our dad to get some respite and a place to heal following a difficult stay in hospital. We thought it would be for a few weeks as we had been told our dad was unlikely to leave the hospital and we wanted
somewhere for him to be that was peaceful and felt safe. This was certainly that place. The care and support he has received have been second to none. He has been so happy and well cared for and is now ready to return home. A true miracle, we are so grateful to all of the staff at Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre.

Dad moved into Moreton Hill in January following a spell in hospital.
Dad was very weak and depressed when he arrived as a respite resident.
From the moment we spoke about him to the manager she could not have done more.
The manager has been available to talk about Dad's care and supported us through
what has been a very difficult time.
The nursing team have been amazing, they have kept us informed throughout.
Nothing has been too much trouble for the whole team and we can't thank you enough for your care and compassion.
Dad is having the best time, from alpacas to therapy dogs!
Thank you.

Mum came into Moreton Hill for respite during the covid pandemic after a fall. We were unable to access care for her at home at this time. Mum arrived feeling very weak and unwell and was so very well cared for. She had access to nursing and doctor's visits. It was a real shame that due to covid there
was a period of not being able to socialise in the dining area and to attend activities during some of her stay but she was safe warm and kindly taken care of and for me and my family this was a huge relief. The staff are so approachable and would always give time to answer and discuss any questions or worries that we had.

All the staff are friendly and caring. Senior staff are extremely responsive in spite of the enormous challenges faced during the pandemic. Only issue is staff shortages, e.g reception is often overburdened not manned. Overall highly recommended.

My mum was cared for with so much love, care and compassion throughout her stay. All the staff from the ladies who brought mum's laundry into her room to the senior management treated her with respect and dignity, right up until her end of life care when the entertainment and activities staff still
involved her with Poppy Day and Christmas preparations. Also taking the magic table into her room and displaying falling leaves and such like on her wall which mum loved.

Excellent. Lovely, friendly and caring. Allows residents to join in or not with anything going on. Allows my mum to get up when she wants to and the same at bedtime.
She has nothing bad to say about anything and has become the happy person she used to be without the stress of bills, cooking and more
when she was at home. Thank you over and over again for everything.

My friend moved into Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre in Horley last year. When I went to see her she had nothing but praise for the staff and home. She is extremely happy living in and joins in every activity that is on offer. She looks well and happy and next year will be her 100th birthday, It
is so good to see a lovely lady like her still enjoying life to the full.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.823 for Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.823

  • b) 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 Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
