Our Aunt was at Moreton Hill Care Centre for only a few weeks. During that time all staff did everything they could to make a difficult move for an elderly lady, who was daily becoming more frail, as welcoming and comfortable as possible. The management, nursing and care were excellent and professional.
Communications from the home were regular and relevant. They were happy to spend time answering any concerns or questions. Our apprehensions about a new environment were erased. Our Aunt sadly passed away but was treated with the utmost care, dignity and thoughtfulness. Our undertaker commented on the care. Many, many thanks for your care and kindness.

We had been searching for a care home for my mum in vain until we drove up to Moreton Hill and realised that what we had hoped to find did really exist after all. Set in a beautiful location with superb buildings and grounds, the physical environment was only matched by the exceptional staff that we
met. They are warm, caring and highly professional, and Mum loves them dearly. Their kindness and dedication have kept Mum safe and happy during these difficult times - and they have the heartfelt gratitude of Mum and all her family.

A big thank you to everyone at Moreton Hill. My dad is a recent resident admission with advanced dementia. We were made very welcome at short notice by the manager and staff. Dad is already settling in and receiving excellent care - he is 93. Minor observations are around the online visit booking system,
which is very limited. The home is very accommodating with out of service visits, but the current policy of daytime week visits is not helpful for those of us in full-time work.

Thank you to this beautiful care home. This is a beautiful home. The staff are dedicated and look after their clients with special care. It takes so much stress away from family knowing that their loved one is cared for so well. I cannot praise all of the staff enough for the way they cared and looked
after my nephew the way they did, he was so happy with the care he had, allowing his mother and father to relax and worry less about his care.

The wonderful positioning and surrounding views create an atmosphere of well-being and ease when entering. The thought given to receiving refreshment and a friendly greeting from the lady receptionist is so considerate and kindly received. Being taken to your family room and to each other's needs and
questions happily done. The provision of quiet rooms, central and other outside rest areas, games, hobbies, reading, writing and personal care are wonderful.
Finally, the personal care and attention to every individual resident by each member of staff can only be admired and loved. I was reluctant to leave.

The service and care I have given are very much in line with my expectations and needs. The restrictions caused by Covid have been carefully and excellently applied and so caused residents little inconvenience. There could be an improvement in the distribution of information.

My mother was a resident at Moreton Hill from June 2019 until she sadly passed away in August 2020. My mother very much enjoyed living at the home. Staff welcomed her warmly and she was soon involved in the activities, the activities coordinator was wonderful and worked out my mother's personality quickly
and found activities that would suit her, she particularly liked poetry reading and flower arranging. My mother had vascular dementia and she was looked after appropriately and encouraged to participate as much as possible in the daily life of the home, she was in a wonderful bedroom with views overlooking the surrounding countryside. She enjoyed dining in the dining room and going on the odd excursion outside of the home. Staff at the home are genuinely interested in the residents, without exception, I found them caring and friendly often doing over and above their duty; they encouraged feedback and ways to improve. Everyone was respectful towards my mother and empathetic of her needs.

The care home has worked with me to settle mum into the care home, I especially like the activities to keep mum stimulated. Mum says she enjoys the lunches and likes going on trips out whenever possible. Mum loves the care home cats!

An elderly church friend of mine had the urgent need of care after discharge from hospital and Moreton Hill has been fantastic in stepping into the breach, taking him in and caring for him until he recovered enough to return home. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were warm and supportive, and
it was a huge relief to know this dear friend was safe in these challenging times at the height of the Covid pandemic. Thank you especially, to the lovely manager for going the extra mile.

My husband was transferred from another home as a result of flooding with the other residents, on February 18th 2020. The staff at Moreton Hill Care Centre, working under pressure, were extremely caring and friendly. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and they always kept me updated.

I think all the staff at Moreton Hill Care Home have been brilliant over the last couple of weeks with the extra residents from another care home which had flood-related problems. Not one member of staff has complained but carried on regardless of the extra work. Well done.

I received a very warm welcome by the Manager, which made me feel very much at home. My friend, who has dementia, is very well cared for by the staff in "the attic" who treated her with warmth, respect and dignity. Her appearance and clothes, which were colour coordinated, showed sensitivity. The "Attic"
was homely and staff attentive.

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.
