It is just over a year since my Dad moved to Morton Grange and I am delighted with how he has settled. I was really impressed with the friendly welcome I received when I first visited to look round and I could tell that the staff I met were being open and genuine. Without exception I have found staff to be warm, kind, respectful and professional and they have come to understand Dad's needs and preferences. Everyday life hums along with calm purpose and the team work hard to create regular varied opportunities for fun, exercise and entertainment. They invite suggestions and act on them whenever possible. The gardens are a lovely setting for summer picnics, events and quiet chats. Liaison with colleagues, such as specialist nurses, paramedics and the local hospital have been excellent and I am always kept in the loop. Meals are fresh, varied and appealing, with food woven into the many celebrations and events, just as in any family home. As Dad often comments, "it's a good place this."
Your kind words about the team's warmth, professionalism and understanding of your dad's needs really do make a difference.

My husband was discharged from hospital to the Beeches at Morton Grange. The care we received was outstanding from the start. The management & staff were wonderful. They treated him with care, consideration, compassion and always with a smile. I cannot praise the staff at Morton Grange enough. A heartfelt thank-you from myself and my son xxx
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a great deal to all of us at Morton Grange to know that the care we provided made a positive difference to you, your husband, and your son.
We are grateful that you took the time to share your experience, and we wish you and your family continued strength and comfort.
Just wanted to say Thank you to all staff at Morton Grange. The manager and staff are friendly, professional, approachable and genuinely care for my Dad. I know he is safe, treated with dignity, well looked after, happy and comfortable at Morton Grange.
Thank you so much for the feedback. It means a lot to the whole team to know that we are making a positive difference for your Dad and you. We're committed to providing care that is warm, dignified and person-centred. Your trust is truly appreciated, and we're always here if you need anything. Thank you.
Morton Grange is a delight, my partner feels at home there, that the staff are her extended family. The staff are warm, kind and considerate. They have infinite patience, even when many would have wilted. Meals are fine, varied and balanced. Checks are kept on consumption so they know if someone is off their food. I can't speak highly enough of Morton Grange.
Thank you for taking the time to share such kind comments. It's wonderful to know you feel so positive about the care we provide, and your words have really brightened our day.
We were welcomed by staff and enabled to talk with my mum with some privacy in the dining room. Staff are all very helpful. Senior staff show good understanding of my mum's condition and provide great support and engagement.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that you've had such a positive experience at Morton Grange. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us and motivate us to continue delivering the highest possible standards of care.
When Mum first went into Morton Grange, we hoped she would last another six months, but due to the quality of care and support, she lasted another two and a half years. It's good to see management and staff working together to put residents' care and needs first. I would like to say to the staff, thank you for making my mum's final years happy and memorable for my sister and I. If in the future I need a nursing home, Morton Grange would be my first choice.
Thank you, Rob, for such heartfelt and moving feedback. We truly appreciate it. Your words are a powerful reminder of how our care can impact not just the resident, but the family as well. Once again, thank you for taking the time to give us the feedback.
where do I begin: my father was diagnosed with cancer and was admitted to morton grange for end of life care. From day one is felt like home. He loved it and so did we as a family. The care he received was amazing, so kind, considerate. The staff were so thoughtful and friendly. They not only looked after our father they cared for us, and then when the inevitable happened the compassion shown was impossible to describe... amazing does not say enough. Thank you to everyone for making my dad's end of life so special. love you all.
Thank you so much. It's wonderful and touching to read your words and we are proud of our hardworking team who love what they do and care so deeply for our residents and their families.
Our lovely mum went into Morton grange in May 2025, she unfortunately passed away on 27th August..The staff are not only professional, they are deeply kind, compassionate, and attentive. Every interaction was filled with kindness and dignity.
The home itself is welcoming, and we always felt reassured knowing Mum was in such capable hands.Even the undertaker, who had never worked with Morton Grange before, commented on how outstanding the staff were. That speaks volumes.We are so grateful for the love and care shown to Mum, and for the support we received as a family. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Morton Grange to anyone seeking a place where their loved one will be truly looked after
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It is wonderful to be able to share your thoughts with our hardworking team.
The carers are very friendly and helpful. You get a team over the week who you get to know, and they get to know you. You can go into the lounge and dining room or stay in your room. Having a church service led by the local vicar is good. You are not pushed into anything. You are treated accordingly to your ability and mental capability.
Thank you for taking the time to review Morton Grange. I am very pleased to see that you feel that our staff respect your choices and independence. Glad to know that you are enjoying the church services. Hope you are enjoying the trips and other activities like seated sports, weekly entertainer,...
Our mum has recently been admitted to Beeches at Morton Grange, she was discharged from hospital to the setting. The standard of care provided is excellent by the staff, they demonstrate care, compassion, kindness and patience to mum. The atmosphere in the home is professionalism shown by staff and friendliness to our mum and visitors of mum. All relatives and friends of mum have commented on how lovely the staff are, it is exactly why we chose the setting, because the staff seemed caring and considerate to mums needs.
We sincerely appreciate your positive feedback. It truly means a lot to us to know that you and your family are happy with the care your Mum is receiving here. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything more we can do. Once again, thank you for kind words of appreciation.
I have lived here for 8 years. I used to live with my step dad because my mum past away when she was diagnosed with cancer. I am so glad I decided to live here I am independent with assistance.
Thank you for taking the time to give us the feedback. We are really glad you chose Morton Grange as your home. We would love to know what we can do to improve on rooms and activities to achieve 5 stars on those areas. Once again, thank you for your feedback.
There is a lovely friendly atmosphere plenty of helpful staff. There is some activity happening every time i visit (visit 2-3 times a week) i often visit near lunch time to encourage my friend to eat. The food looks and smells appetising. The residents seem very happy and there is nothing too much trouble for the staff. I am kept well informed regarding my friends condition. Each month there is a very informative newsletter which includes future events.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us the feedback. Glad to know that you are happy with the care and support your friend receiving here. Your feedback is very important to us. Thank you
My experience of Morton Grange is nothing but positive. My Dad always looks clean + tidy + have been present when activities have been taking place, which are great to keep the residents active + entertained. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who always greet you with a smile + hello. I would highly recommend Morton Grange + its given me + my dads family the peace of mind that my dads well looked after.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us the feedback. We feel honoured that you trust us to look after your Dad. We appreciate all your support. We would like to excel in all areas. So could you please let us know what we can do to improve on the areas where we didn't score 5 stars? Your feedback is very important to us as that will help us to improve further. Thank you
We chose Morton Grange for the care of both my father-in-law and my mother. We cannot praise them enough for the exceptional and compassionate care they both received through their illnesses and subsequent passing. All the staff create a warm family atmosphere for both residents and their families. The care they and we received was supportive, dignified, professional and loving. We will be forever grateful for the time our relatives and we spent with them.
Thank you so much the lovely feedback. We really appreciate you for trusting us to look after your loved ones. Your kind words are an inspiration to all of us. Thank you.
We spent our 65th Christmas together at Morton and the staff worked so hard to make it memorable. I treasure every minute and memory.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are pleased to hear that our care and support helped you during the most difficult time in your life. Your kind words encourages us more to give the excellent care to those who needs it. Thank you.
My Father has been a resident at Morton Grange since May 2023, initially on respite and since Aug 23 as a permanent resident. The care is exceptional and the staff are all very caring and professional. My Father enjoys the food too, which always looks very appetising. There are lots of events and activities residents and sometimes families/friends can participate in too. The rooms are bright and very clean and furniture and fittings are in good condition. We have personalised Dad's room and the staff were very helpful with this too. I highly recommend Morton Grange to you.
We appreciate your feedback and are so pleased to hear how happy your father is at Morton Grange.
Staff were very friendly and approachable and helpful. The care home was clean with no odour on entry and Mum was always adequately dressed for the conditions.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would love to know how we can improve and make your experience even better. Could you share what we could have done differently to achieve excellent satisfaction from you? Your insights are invaluable to us, and we are committed to making necessary improvements. Once again, thank you for taking the time to give us the feedback.
All staff and management are extremly good. Patient and understanding of my parent's needs, well done all with a difficult and demanding job.
Thank you for such a positive review. It is wonderful to have feedback we can share with the team.
Thank you!
Mum was there for 5 months as a dementia patient, she received the best care possible and I can honestly say I never saw any staff member behaving anything other than professional but also the warmth and love they give to the residents is heartwarming. At the end of Mum's life, we were there constantly and the staff couldn't have been more caring to Mum and also family members. I feel I formed a friendship with several of the staff and will be eternally grateful for the way Mum was cared for. My elderly dad who visited every day, some days twice a day, was also very well looked after during his visits. Today would've been Mum's 85th birthday so my daughter-in-law, grandchildren, friend and myself popped in with cakes and goodies for the staff so they could share Mum's birthday celebration of life. It was a pleasure to see the staff again and I will be popping in again at some point with Dad, they really were our extended family. Thank you to you all.

I have worked at Morton Grange since 2002 and this is like my second home. I am a nurse by profession and have completed a Masters Degree in Dementia. I am a member of the Social Care Nursing Advisory Council and also the Chair of the Registered Managers Network for Derby and Derbyshire. I have won awards in Dementia care, Dignity in care, the Chief nursing officer award as well as a National Award for Registered Managers. I was also honoured with an invite to Buckingham Palace recently for my contribution to Social Care.
My door is always open and I work late into the evening meaning you can always come in for a chat with any questions you might have. I love my job as it feels like being surrounded by your family. My residents and staff are part of my family and together we are making lots of happy memories here.

I am pleased to introduce myself as a dedicated and compassionate individual with many years of experience in the healthcare field. I have been at Morton Grange since 2013 where I have honed my skills as a nurse and a natural leader, which has enabled me to effectively train and support my team.
I firmly believe that kindness, hard work, and a positive attitude are essential in my role and my commitment to providing the highest quality of care to residents aligns perfectly with the values we uphold at Morton Grange. I am dedicated to ensuring that all residents receive the care and attention they deserve and that my team feels supported and empowered to deliver their best work.

My career journey started in 5* hospitality and then in 2008, I joined Morton Grange as their Administration Manager. Ensuring those who work at Morton Grange have the same common passion for caring means we can all thrive in such a positive environment. My career background ensures we keep high standards of maintenance, cleaning and hospitality. The residents will always be my priority and I believe they deserve the very best. I am here to listen to them and make their stay as comfortable and as welcoming as possible.
