The staff were all wonderfully caring and patient with my mother who was a resident for the last few weeks of her life. She told me that she felt safe and cared for, which meant the world to me. Thank you so much.
Today was my Mum and Dad's wedding anniversary and Morton Grange did a wonderful meal for them, they had put my dad in a shirt with a pocket hankie and wrote a card from him to my mum. The personal touches they go to for not only the resident but for the families are amazing.
My mum was very worried about my dad going into care but the reassurance and support from the fantastic staff at Morton Grange they’ve given my Mum the peace of mind and knowing he is in the right place to care for his needs. The staff always keep us up to date with dads health.
Have recommended Morton Grange to friends already. Thank you.
The care my sister was given was wonderful. The care home was always clean and the staff were all very friendly to my sister and anyone visiting whatever the time of day.
This care home is great! They cared for my wife with what was a very bad prion disease. It was very difficult for me to put my wife into their care but I never regretted it. They were so caring, lovely staff. They did what they could, kept me informed all the time. Love all of them.
Morton Grange Care Home is 100% in everything they do. Can't praise them enough.
My mother was in this care home for 10 years and now my father is in it. I have never had an issue with them during all these years, they have taken great care of my family and it puts me at ease, as I live in Canada. The owner is available for chats at any time.
She was a daycare user for three days per week prior to taking up permanent residence; in The Willows House of Morton Grange residential nursing and care home.
All good!
My aunt has been in the care of Morton Grange since March 2022, she is looked after extremely well, and is happy there, staff are amazing. Everyone is very friendly and caring. They understand the needs of their residents and keep family members informed of all aspects of care of loved ones. Extremely happy with Morton Grange.
We looked at several other care homes for my mother who is blind, disabled and aged 94 years old. This appeared to be the best and our experience with the home, shows it is outstanding. The staff are exceptional. The patience and time they give to my mother is really good.
Before entering Morton Grange, my mother was very depressed, wouldn't mix with other residents and just wanted to die.
Wow, the change in my mother's mood since becoming part of the Morton Grange family is indescribable.
She was happy, as happy as she could be under her unfortunate circumstances, joining in with the activities and socialising, her speech and mental wellbeing improved beyond recognition.
My mother was loved here, and she knew she was and appreciated everything the staff were doing for her. They gave her choices and valued her opinion, wishes and needs. They gave my mother her dignity back, empowered her and she regained her identity.
All the staff treated us as part of the family, and they are all a credit to the care profession. I cannot thank these amazing people enough and will be forever grateful.
Our sister had deteriorated with cancer and we chose Morton Grange to provide her with the end-of-life care she needed. Every single member of staff we met when we visited was kind and caring; they adapted things to meet her needs. We were allowed to visit at any time and did so every day and staff kept us informed of any changes. Everything was first class, and I strongly recommend it.
From start to finish - excellent. I was supported from day one of my enquiry for respite care, from the telephone assessment and then trying to get a PCR test sorted over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend ready for my stay was quite stressful, but the staff at Morton Grange were excellent. Many many thanks to you all. I really enjoyed my stay.
We had been searching for the right care home for Mum as we did not want her to be "another number" which is the impression we had assumed from a number of other homes. Morton Grange is literally on our doorstep, however, not our first consideration. We just wanted a place where we were safe in the knowledge she was being not only looked after but cared for. Morton Grange has delivered this and more, every one of the staff we have dealt with have shown the same care and compassion for Mum and the other residents and this has been borne out in Mum's wellbeing since she arrived at Christmas. She was in a depressed state, shying away from social interaction and loss of appetite etc. when she arrived, and we honestly feared for her future. The staff at Morton Grange have supported her through this and now she is back to her former self and we could not have wished for a better outcome for her.
My partner is treated very kindly with genuine affection by all the staff I’ve seen looking after her.
Morton Grange appears to have a lot of long serving staff and management, with no agency staff, which I’m sure contributes to the positive culture and its success.
The more I visit Morton Grange the more I feel that we are lucky to have chosen it.
I am so pleased that we chose Morton Grange for my mum when she needed nursing care and I highly recommend it. We, as a family, have the peace of mind knowing that Mum is really well cared for by an amazing team of kind, caring and friendly staff. The home has a really welcoming family atmosphere and I am always kept well informed and up to date with how Mum is doing. Mum has a lovely room and she really enjoys the food and there is a good programme of activities going on.
Moving Mum to Morton Grange was the best decision and I would not have wanted her to be anywhere else. At the time I didn't appreciate how crucial that decision would be. When Covid-19 turned our world upside down it was a great relief to me to know how loved and cared for Mum was there in every aspect. Despite her dementia she settled so quickly. It was home. She came from a rural area and to see the farmland close by was something that was familiar to her. My mum was there for just over a year and although we had only been able to share in the socials and Mum's life briefly before restrictions prevented it, I loved the way staff always had time, nothing was too much much trouble and there was always such a lovely family atmosphere. During lockdown, their video calls to keep in touch were very special. We ,as a family, felt their care and support for us as well as Mum. Her last days were peaceful and we will be forever grateful for their excellent care.
The team at Morton Grange looked after my mum for complex end of life care. The staff were amazing. They provided true patient centered care and they extended this to the needs of my family. Morton Grange exceeded our expectations and we as a family would recommend Morton Grange without hesitation. We are so appreciative of everything Morton Grange did for my mum and for us. They will always hold a special place in hearts. With grateful thanks.
I go to see my grandad and he is well looked after. When he has fallen and is on his way to the hospital, they always get hold of my uncle so he can go straight there to meet the ambulance. My grandad has a good relationship with the staff.
The staff and management were exceptional in helping us with our care when it was no longer possible for my mum to stay at home. From the very start of the journey to the end, Morton Grange and every one of the team have been brilliant. I cannot recommend Morton Grange enough for all that it did for us.
My husband has only been at the home since April 2021 and therefore due to covid restrictions, it's our experience of the care home. However, the staff are kind to my husband and family and he appears to have established a report with them. They always inform us of any problems that occur. He is happy and appears well looked after.

Meet the Team (3)

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.
