Mum died in Morton Grange 31st January 2019, the care and support at this time, again, from all staff and management was extremely good (and still is).
Many thanks to all staff and management at Morton Grange.
I find Morton Grange helpful, clean and have a very kind approach to the residents.
Dad as a Resident and Mum as a Day Care/ Domiciliary consumer of the services there.
My mum has been a resident at Morton Grange for over six years and she is very happy and settled there. The staff are well trained, kind and very caring. Mum's health and mobility have deteriorated over the years and the staff always treat her with dignity and respect. I highly recommend Morton Grange.
Staff work very hard and will always take time to have a chat about the resident. Very supportive and respectful environment. I am totally convinced that this is the right home for my father. There are wonderful views from the windows. Activities that are inclusive of all residents and a real interest in how to increase the variety of activities. Nursing staff are very professional and communicate regularly. They keep very detailed care plans. Carers are lovely and attentive to the needs of the resident.
Friendly staff, cannot do enough for you. Varied meals showing photographs of meals so the resident can see meals if unable to view the daily menus. Resident dressed cleanly/smartly. Nursing staff all hands on. Day trips to take residents to places of interest so more interaction. Rooms kept tidy so no falling hazards. Would recommend the Grange for their level of care and cleanliness and friendliness towards residents.
Very pleased with the level of care my Mum receives. She is well fed, well cared for, has a pleasant room and there are activities on a daily basis. The staff are friendly and approachable.
All the staff and carers are so understanding and helpful.
The staff got to know him well, therefore, always respecting his wishes. There is a clear, care pathway for end of life care, which is well-documented. We were always consulted with aspects of his care and updated regularly.
Dad passed in peace, knowing he was loved by all involved with his care. Thank you.
The care my dad received at Morton Grange was exemplary. The carers loved and cared for him and treated him like a family member. I will never be able to thank them enough.
My husband was a resident for over 4 years. He suffered from Alzheimer's disease and oral cancer. He was well loved, cared for and looked after. He was part of an extended family. I always felt assured that he was safe. The care, end of life, was as expected. Caring, loving and tender. The whole staff always went the extra mile. I cannot praise them enough.
My mother has been a permanent resident at Morton Grange since May, previously she visited for respite. I visit daily and assist with eating and bedtimes. She is content but has bouts of challenging behaviour, which the staff deal with stoically, they treat her with care. consideration and gentle persuasion. The Home is spotlessly clean. Her clothes are changed when necessary/laundered daily (she spills - because of a tremor, and throws - because of temper). The quality, selection and variety of the food are very high and her eating issues (dementia-related swallowing issues) have been resolved in that her food is blended to the extent that it can be liquidised to a soup so she can drink it. The nursing staff are informative. supportive and willing to discuss issues and solutions. Care staff are friendly, attentive and address needs regularly and efficiently. Activities are varied, entertaining and frequent. The whole team work together and supply quality of care that is second to none.
I visit five times a week at different times and everyone is always looked after.
Throughout this time, Mum had always been cared for with love, kindness, dignity and respect by all members of staff, this enabled her to feel safe and relaxed.
I have always been very pleased with the level of support given to myself and other family members, during this time.
The staff was helpful and I was made very welcome.
Staff very helpful, the food was good.
After the normal teething adjustment when he first lived there, since then they made it his home and treated him as part of one big family.
Only when looking back through newsletters do you appreciate how much activities and entertainment, as well as day trips out, meals out, just a ride round in minibus to see the seasons, they do with residents.
Towards the end of his life, from the owners, the matron, numerous carers, down to laundry and kitchen staff were second to none, so supportive, caring and understanding.Not only there for dad, but for mum and myself. They made his last years enjoyable, cared for and loved.
For that, we thank them and give praise where praise is most definitely due.
The meals were very good with varied choices each day.
I was able to relax at home and know my mum was safe and being properly looked after
Mum will definitely be going back there next time she has respite.
He has been treated very well and with respect. He has only been here for 2/3 weeks but we feel he is being looked after really well. All the staff are marvellous and cannot do enough for he or my husband. He is kept clean and tidy, having a shave every day. We feel he is in good hands.
I have had many conversations with management and various staff and found them all to be very warm and welcoming to my husband and myself. I was very impressed by the family feel of the wards/rooms and the atmosphere of a real home. Nothing seems to be too much trouble with all the resident's needs being met with all medical needs put in place for any emergency. In all, I feel so relieved that I can leave my husband in such caring and comfortable hands and I too feel part of a big and happy family.

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.
