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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
In the past 15 years, we have had four of our relatives in the care of Morton Grange. The fourth being my brother who is currently there. Through these times we have been so grateful for the high standard of care that's been shown to the members of our family, all with their different and sometimes
challenging needs.
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.

My wife has been at Morton Grange for six years now. We looked at other care homes but decided on Morton Grange for her and it was the best decision we could have made, she has always been happy there.
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.

Review from Roger F (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 17 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were delighted to find Morton Grange because it was privately owned by a clearly committed and engaged person and was run by professional and qualified staff. In fact, in addition to the nurses, some of the care staff have nursing qualifications.
Key points for us when we reviewed the homes were
the smell (not a problem in itself but indicative of the diligence of the care staff); the number of staff on duty and amount of quality interaction with the residents; and quality of room and communal areas.
Morton Grange scored very highly in all of these areas and throughout the 6 months she has been there the standards have remained constant.
I would also like to mention that the staff call us regularly to let us know of any problems or changes in care and we have seen some of the many events that Morton Grange runs for residents (and visitors).
I recommend Morton Grange highly to anyone needing residential or nursing care.
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.

Review from Sandy F (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum had move to Morton Grange from a residential home in Leicester due to her changed needs. After investigating local nursing homes I decided that Morton Grange seemed a good choice. We were lucky enough to be accepted relatively quickly, and Morton Grange made the trauma of moving my 91 yr old
mother 50 miles away from her home town relatively easy.
They have since looked after my mum, in my opinion, in a caring and kind manner, making her feel welcome and attending to any problems, needs or wishes as quickly as they were able. My mum is still of reasonably sound mind, but suffers from Parkinsons and the onset of dementia, so I know things will deteriorate, but it is good to know she is somewhere where the staff care about her, and where I can visit her daily.
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.

Review from Andrew R (Son of Resident) published on 21 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Looked around a few homes for mother before deciding on Morton Grange, and all of the family members have been so impressed with the decision we made on behalf of mum.
The care and kindness we have experienced for mum and ourselves has been overwhelming, and I would have no hesitation in recommending
the home for any family member looking for a place for a relative.
Kindness and care starts from the very top with the owners direct involvement visiting and sitting with residents and family, offering encouragement and always concerned about maintaining high standards. This standard of care is followed up by the Manageress who ensures high standards are the key factor of the care delivered to residents.
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.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) out of 10 for Morton Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.812 for Morton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.812
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Morton Grange is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
