Morton Grange

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.

My wife has been in Morton Grange for three and a half years. Although there have been changes in staff over that period, I cannot say I have disliked any member of staff.

I visit on average twelve times per week and I have never seen anything that disturbs me. Patients are taken at frequent times to the toilet. If my wife wants changing at any time, her needs are promptly dealt with. (I have no complaints).

I was always welcomed as a visitor whatever time I visited - thank you.

I looked all around Matlock and Chesterfield for a suitable home for my very active aunt aged 96. When I went into Morton Grange and spoke to the owner, manageress and staff I knew it was ideal. They were dedicated, caring and enjoyed there work. The owner advised I also look at other homes but none matched Morton Grange.

Sadly my aunt was not there very long but throughout her stay, the staff, service and care exceeded my initial impressions. I could not fault anything. I know that because this is an owner run home there is a dedication to care and services. I am still in contact with the home and would recommend it for all the care they offer.

We could not have asked for more, we would not hesitate in recommending Morton Grange to anyone needed a safe and caring environment for their loved ones.

My Dad has settled in at Morton Grange better than we ever expected. The staff are so patient and go above and beyond to enable all the residents to receive the best care possible. Dad seems very happy and comfortable, which makes it easier for us to visit him and be at peace knowing he is very cared for. Thanks to all the staff at Morton Grange.

For the last 2 years, I have visited my friend every week and attended a number of events arranged by the staff. I have been very impressed by the range of events available and the involvement of the staff. It all creates a very friendly and relaxed environment for residents and visitors.

My father has been a resident for almost 3 years. The nurses and carers are kind and attentive and cannot be faulted. They are patient and always cheerful even in difficult situations. The management are visible and play an important and proactive role in daily life. They organise many activities for the residents both inside and outside the home including friends and family of the residents.

On arriving at Morton Grange you are greeted very warmly, a cup of tea straight away. There are no secrets, you are told everything. The staff treat everyone as one big family. If you need any help or advice they will bend over backwards to provide it for you. Everyone is on first names and treated respectfully. It is very clean.

Celebration of 30 years, opened as a care home 1986. Wonderful celebration and gifts for residents and family. Wonderful entertainment and food provided. Food is really good at all times and many residents took part. Nothing too much trouble and the carers provide exceptional care to enable as many residents to take part. Well done.

There are too many homes out there that are not fulfilling what they should be doing and that is caring. Morton Grange do their very best for everyone, that includes the residents relatives who are always listened to if they have problems.

It is well run from the top down. The care staff are brilliant. They are well trained and treat the residents with respect and help them to keep their dignity. I am always made welcome whenever I visit with a smile and a friendly word. The entertainment for the residents is top class as are the trips ou in the mini bus. So from my experience, I can highly recommend Morton Grange.

Note also that fees are very reasonable.

My Mum receives excellent care in all respects here at Morton Grange. The food is excellent, the home is very clean and the staff are wonderful. It is always difficult when a loved one needs care over and above what you know you can provide, Morton Grange provides this. The residents are treated as part of an extended family, with regular entertainment and trips out. I am very pleased my Mum is here. I don't think I could find anywhere better.

My father has improved greatly since he has come to Morton Grange. This is his fourth nursing home and by far the best. The staff are very caring and nothing is too much trouble for them.

I like the care my husband receives at Morton Grange. The staff are always very kind to my husband and myself. The managers get their hands on to all sorts of things and are always trying new activities for the residents. If anyone asks me about Morton Grange as a care home, I always recommend it. Thank you.

Mum loves all the activities, outings and social occasions Morton Grange offer and after the recent street party for the Queens 90th birthday, mum said she really enjoyed it. The next "party" is Morton Grange's 30th anniversary - we are looking forward to that.

When you walk into the home it's always warm, clean and well ventilated. The staff welcome you when you visit. They give information about how my sister is progressing. There is always plenty of staff around to respond to the needs of any patient. It is a pleasure to visit because the staff are always happy, smiling and thorough, they are very busy. I think my sister is safe because staff respond quickly to any emergency. It is comforting to know that my sister is in a loving caring home.

My family have been so grateful for the wonderful and loving care my sister has received over the past 18 months while in Morton Grange. From the very top of management staff to the cleaners, laundry and personnel. We are aware of how caring they are to residents and give them so much support and all whilst retaining their dignity. Everyone has been wonderful to the whole family during a time of immense sadness when my sister requires 24 hour care.

During our daily visits we have met nurses, carers and cooks and it is impressive to see not only their commitment to care, but to see them smiling and happy in the job they are performing.
