Review from M C (Son of Resident) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother Kathy was.at Moormead for 3- 4 months approximately (late 2025) and I honestly cannot praise the staff enough. The staff work tirelessly and were very personable and made my mother feel very welcome from the beginning when considering she was very emotional on arrival. It has a very cosy feel to the location and a close knit community and it was very sad for me to see my mother leave the residence. I wish nothing but good luck to the staff for the future.

Review from T C (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 December 2020 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I absolutely believe that due to the fantastic care my mum received is one of the reasons she is still as healthy as she is - she is 99-years-old. The staff here are more of a family, they go above and beyond. They are accommodation, loving, helpful and friendly. The care they give - well I couldn't wish for better for my mum. They have regular activities and us and excuse for parties. I am so glad I found Moormead; the manager and every single one of the team is a credit to the caring industry; they deserve recognition.

Review from Hilary F (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 November 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum entered Moormead directly from hospital. She had been very poorly, sadly lost her husband of 65 years whilst in hospital and been unable to return to her home. A time of turmoil for her and us as a family, Moormead immediately made her feel at home and have been very kind to her. In these difficult times of Covid, they have enabled us to visit, within the guidelines. Mum has settled as well as can be expected and has given the staff and the food a big thumbs up. Thank you.

Overall Experience
My experience is that even though the staff are stretched with coronavirus, they are still happy, caring, conscientious in their work, putting their resident's needs and wants at the top of their list.
