My dad was a resident at Moorlands for palliative care. We were so pleased that he was able to spend time in such a homely and caring environment, which was also very welcoming to family members. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was helpful and compassionate. We really appreciated everything you
did for us, even though it was just a short stay.

Lovely clean, friendly home. The staff were so kind and looked after my husband so caring in his last five weeks. Their end of life care was exceptional. Thank you.

The headline news? Moorlands is an excellent care home that gave my mum the highest standard of care. The background to that headline? Well, I was looking at care homes and saw one that was at pains to present itself as the perfect place for elderly people. And yet, they didn't just want me turning
up. I had to book a time, which made me suspicious. Moorlands said I could just turn up. Which I did. From the outside, the building looks like it's seen better days. Inside, it feels like a rabbit warren of corridors and has an antique lift. But it also has something else - and that is staff who genuinely care. From the manager, who insisted on going to the hospital to meet my mum first and do due diligence, through to the nurses and assistants, they've managed to recruit people seemingly devoted to their jobs with genuine empathy and time for everyone. You can probably find homes that have beautiful lobbies and deluxe rooms, but you won't find one whose heart is better than this.

Moorlands Nursing Home provides excellent support for my mum. The staff's approach and genuine care for my mum are wonderful and ensure that the family know she is safe and well looked after. The staff have made Mum feel as though she belongs there and nothing is too much trouble.
It isn't the newest
of buildings and could do with some investments by the company in upgrading decor and facilities. However, the staff are excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Moorlands became our first choice after detailed research, personal recommendations and a visit.
Situated in a rural village and standing on its own grounds with beautiful gardens and trees, we were not disappointed. It is an excellent Nursing Home. After an awful experience in a previous home, our
brother-in-law believed he'd landed in heaven. He kept saying, "They are all so lovely". We found the manager and all her staff were: caring; professional; fun and dedicated to helping. In a very short while we all felt part of the family.
The room itself, the facilities, the nursing care, the food and the general cleanliness were all, again, excellent.
Our only sadness was we wished we'd found Moorlands earlier. I can't praise it enough and we've already put our names down for when we might need it ourselves!
Reply from Sandra Watson, Home Manager at Moorlands Care Home

He was a gentleman and a pleasure. We enjoyed the time he was here and you are always welcome for a cuppa.

The Moorlands manager and her team gave my dad a wonderful two and a half years until he died of Dementia.
I visited him regularly, he was very well looked after in what felt was a large family around him. He was always happy there, he would go on his regular walks around the building. He loved the
food, dinner time was his favourite, especially pudding.
Each time I visited it was clear that the other residents had the same experience too.

My mother-in-law was only with the manager and her team for a few days. However, during this time, we were all treated with such care and compassion that I cannot praise them high enough. Although my mother-in-law was not conscious during her time here, she was still tended to and cared for 24/7. We
cannot thank the manager and her team enough for making what was a very difficult and emotional time, peaceful and dignified.

Moorlands Nursing Home has given exceptional care for my mum during the last 19 months. She was originally admitted, only expecting to live for around 9 weeks and it is thanks to the wonderful care given that she lived 19 months. She celebrated her 100th birthday last July and they pulled out all the
stops to make this a really lovely day for her. Their care is faultless. A big thank you to all!

Our grandmother Marion was a resident for the last nine months of her life. She was always comfortable and well looked after. In her last days the staff were amazing and took it in turns to stay with her so she was not alone. The only negative aspect was communication via the invoicing team at the head
office. Could never get through on the phone to pay and then were referred to the non-payment team. Also a lot of incorrect invoices/errors on invoices.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum spent nearly 3 years at Moorlands until she sadly passed away on 3rd Jan 2022. Throughout her time there, she was both happy and comfortable which is all down to the Carers and Management staff. They grew fond of Mum which we could clearly see on our visits to the home. Every time we left Mum,
we were content that she was in the best place and was being lovingly looked after. Her room was nice and clean with her own bathroom and the lounge was large and bright with the large front window overlooking the garden. The carers were always on hand to meet the residents' needs which, at times, looked challenging due to the differing stages of Dementia, yet they went about their work both calmly and professionally. I speak for all my family when I say we are extremely grateful to the manager and her staff for making our mum's last few years comfortable and thank them all for the hard work they put in 24/7. We would recommend Moorlands Care Home to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones.

My dad came to The Moorlands, sadly against his will. He hasn't been an easy chap but the manager and some staff in particular, have gone above and beyond to settle him. He is now a different chap, happy to live at The Moorlands. I would highly recommend The Moorlands, as a nursing home for challenging
behaviour. The home is tired and maybe could do with decorating and new chairs, etc. Also regular staff, not agency.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for Moorlands Care Home 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.822 for Moorlands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 163 Ratings = 4.822
  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 Moorlands Care Home is based on 14 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 14 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2019

I have worked in care since 2000 which had been my wish since leaving school. I have worked my way up through the roles from carer to manager. I have been a registered Manager since 2013. I have been the manager at Moorlands since December 2019. The joy of seeing people maintain and have and enriched life in what ever way they can is what motivates me to want to stay in care.
