A home that is really caring, friendly and committed to both residents and visitors. Residents and visitors are treated as if part of one big family. Residents are allowed and helped to utilize the best of their abilities and limitations. The interior decor is modern, bright and relaxing. Very informative in regards to the latest situations, including the issuing of a monthly newsletter.
My sister was in Morton Grange for nearly two years. She went in for end of life care, but soon recovered and was back on an even-keel in her health within those three months. I was encouraged at my first meeting and staff were so positive and welcoming. The carers were so professional and loving to my sister.
My sister spent 3 weeks here while work was being done on her home. She was very nervous about spending time in a home, the staff couldn't have been more welcoming or caring. I felt it was a positive experience for her and has taken away her fear of care homes. The staff are friendly and take an interest in the residents - like one big family. We hope that when things return to normal to arrange a visit to see the new friends she made while staying at Morton Grange.
Our lovely mum was happy living in her bungalow until earlier this year when her health deteriorated and her life became very difficult. After spending several respite weeks in Morton Grange, she chooses to move in permanently, and it has been, she says, one of the best decisions she has ever made. All the staff are excellent. They are kind, caring and very professional. Mum’s health has improved and, most importantly for her family, mum is happy, and is enjoying life again.
The staff work hard to provide a caring environment, such that I no longer view it as just a high-quality care home, I am actually proud to call it MY HOME.
The care, catering and nursing care is of the highest standard and I feel extremely safe well cared for in my new home.
Thank you to all the staff from a very happy resident.
Our brother stopped at Morton Grange for only five weeks before he passed away. He was in the hospital for 9 weeks through ill health. From there he went to Morton Grange. The room was always very clean and the care he got was 100%. He said that the food was excellent and so was the care he got. It was a care home that did not have that smell, like some of the care homes you go in. You can't go wrong putting family in there.
Wonderful, wonderful first-rate care on all fronts. The staff are very caring, whatever their job title and there are always activities every day with much laughter and singing. My mum is really settled. First-class from start to finish.
Thanks!
This creates an ethos which enables mum to feel safe, secure and valued. Management is excellent, organised and everyone is approachable. I am kept informed daily on mum's well being and I am able to feel confident that mum is cared for. Activities are varied and tailored to individual needs. It has mum's seal of approval and this is the highest accolade.
My mum was very anxious about staying at Morton Grange. On leaving after a week, she was very happy and relaxed. Mum enjoyed all her meals, the daily activities and lovely staff that looked after mum.
The staff are all so friendly and caring, taking the time with the residents to make sure their needs are met. I would have no hesitation in recommending Morton Grange as a caring place to be.
The grounds are clean and tidy. It is a lovely place to have a walk round or sit down. The staff ar very friendly and polite and nothing is too much trouble for them. They include family in events which is a lovley idea. The rooms are clean and tidy and if you have any issue they are happy to help. They also do different activities with the residents to keep them occupied which is fantastic.
My brother went to Morton Grange as an emergency with challenging issues. The manager recognised this immediately and with kindness and patience, my brother has benefited hugely from a team of people who really care. I visited him on his birthday to find he'd already had a party with cake, presents and plenty of attention. One of the carers had come in - in her own time to take my brother over to the weekly entertainment - where else would you get this level of thought and care. There are activities, always someone to listen/help when he feels down/poorly. He recently came out of hospital, and through the work of the staff, he is now flourishing. He has a lovely room, his own tv and bathroom. He can socialise or be on his own when he wishes. Each visit I'm updated on my brother's health/mood and offered a drink from busy staff. I can't thank Morton Grange enough for the way they care for my brother and would highly recommend them if ever you need to place a loved one in care.
Make this your 1st and last choice for your loved ones if you're choosing a Nursing home.
The staff are wonderful, nothing and I mean nothing is too much trouble for them, caring, loving and treat my mum with dignity. They make all relatives feel very welcome.
The food is all home-cooked on the premises and if there is something that your relative would like, the staff will try their hardest to accommodate.
All staff will know your relative's name and make a fuss of them even if they're not on that floor or building.
Can’t recommend this care home enough, you can go and have a look around, you don’t need an appointment (which speaks volumes in itself).
The rooms are lovely, you can take pictures, Tv’s, well anything to make it cosy.
You won’t be disappointed, my mum loves it and so do we.
Thank you, Morton Grange.
The service users are all treated the same with dignity. Most of the staff will help whenever asked. My mother is very happy with everything provided for her.
The carers were very thoughtful, helpful and kind. Although a very new resident my husband enjoyed his birthday very much, they provided a real party celebration feeling to the day. The carers treat all the residents in a very friendly respectful way and this is reflected in the atmosphere of the home.
Whenever we visited the home we were always made to feel very welcome. Everywhere has always been clean and tidy and always smelt fresh. The interaction between the staff and other residents is very caring and the meals look appetising and well presented.
We are very grateful to all the staff at Morton Grange for looking after mother so well and are delighted that she became part of their family.
Our aunt was a resident at the care home for 13 months, she was very well looked after by friendly, caring and hardworking staff.
Both my parents have health conditions, including dementia (Alzheimer's and vascular) and have stayed here for respite at least five times, and now it has come to my Dad requiring permanent care, Morton Grange is our first choice. Whilst it is an old building, the care provided is outstanding, there is nothing needing in care, facilities, services,m rooms, and all residents are treated as individuals with the utmost of respect/dignity. Every member of the Morton Grange team contributes to this, headed up by a 'hands-on' manager and owner. Thank you.
I cannot praise the staff highly enough and would have no hesitation in recommending Morton's services.

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.
