As he is bedridden his social life effectively revolves around his carer but they are really great and he gets all he needs in the way of social contact, conversation, amusement and yes possible gossip. I would also like to mention the helpfulness and kind assistance of reception and the continued detailed
info and updates I get from the nursing staff.
Keep up the good work!

My mother was a resident at Moss Cottage for 9 weeks and she received palliative care during this time. The staff's care was personal to us and second to none. They treated her with dignity, compassion, care and love. The day of her passing was without a doubt very traumatic for my family and the support
and love we received will never be forgotten. From start to finish, they could not do enough. When the ambulance came to take our mother away, they all stood in line and gave their respect to her. Myself and my family will never forget the care she received. With fondest love and regards to all the staff.

The care was good, the food always looked good and was always presented lovely and hot despite my husband being on a pureed diet. I joked it was like Masterchef. The entertainment looked good from what I saw my husband didn't really participate (his choice) as he was happy in his room watching TV.
All
staff from what I witnessed and overheard genuinely cared about the residents. The Laundry was washed well. I did have a couple of things go missing but I guess in a home it's to be expected occasionally due to the quantity of washing they have and I wouldn't let that deter me or anyone from this home as I had much worse in a different home. It's never easy having someone in care but if I ever had the need to use a care/nursing home again I wouldn't hesitate on using this home. They really do go above and beyond on all levels so thank you to each and every member of the staff. You're a credit to the home.

Moss Cottage is a lovely home. My aunt has been there for around nine months and is so well cared for. All staff members are lovely, they're so caring and helpful and they all seem to know my aunt well. The home itself is clean and welcoming. There seem to be lots of activities. And the food always
looks great.

My Mum spent over five years at Moss Cottage. The care Mum received was exceptional. The Home is very comfortable and the staff are friendly and very caring. Mum sadly passed away in December and the care and compassion shown to me and my family was wonderful! The staff really care.
I would recommend
Moss Cottage to anyone looking for a safe and caring home for their loved ones.

My Mum went into Moss Cottage in October 2022 and has recently passed away. The care she received during her short stay was superb. The management and staff cared for her as they would for their own family and nothing was too much trouble.

All the staff at Moss Cottage are wonderful, caring people. They are led by an excellent manager and treat residents (and relatives) with respect and compassion. I am so grateful to the staff for the fantastic care my Mum receives on a daily basis. Thanks also due to the support staff: Admin, Events
Organiser, Cleaning staff and Chefs for the wonderful service and their part in making Moss Cottage such a successful and welcoming care home.

My uncle had only been at Moss Cottage for a month when it was his 100th birthday. The staff made it such a magical and wonderful day for him. There was a lovely buffet, cake, beautiful balloons and the mayoress came to congratulate him. It was so lovely that they had taken the time and effort to arrange
this for him. I personally will remember the day for a long time.

Superb service. Staff caring, helpful and professional. Ensured my mum was looked after and comfortable in her final days and I was very pleased with her care. They also ensured I had everything I needed during my visits. I'd highly recommended Moss Cottage.

Our mum was admitted as an emergency in January 2021. Her needs were quite complex, she had been cared for at home, however her care package had been insufficient and she had deteriorated. At Moss Cottage our mum received the highest standard of nursing and care. The empathy, kindness and care bestowed
upon our mum during her stay was truly amazing. She passed away on the 22nd March, very peacefully with family by her side. The management and staff were extremely accommodating to us, allowing us to come and go at all times. I couldn’t possibly mention each member of staff, but the nurses, activities and carers were fantastic. There’s a diverse bunch of lovely kind people that work there and they make Moss Cottage a happy home. The outside of Moss Cottage looks a bit shabby chic! Do not be put off! The inside is lovely. We regret that our mum wasn’t admitted earlier. Thanks to the nurse and staff on duty the night she passed away, thanks to all of you. You’re amazing!

Though our daughters stay was only three weeks, they made her and us extremely welcome. Management and staff couldn't do enough for her. She went to Moss Cottage in an emergency, and they immediately put her at ease. Thank you all.

Unfortunately, my mother who was a long time resident of Moss Cottage sadly died on the 1st May. The manager and all the staff could not have been more helpful, kind and caring. They could not do enough for me. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Moss Cottage Nursing Home to anyone
whose relative is in need of nursing care.

Moss Cottage arranged some entertainment in the car park, so we could see my mum from a safe distance. The staff team have been fantastic. They give way past the call of duty. They are a great team and I will be forever grateful of the way they have pulled together in this troubled time.

This nursing home is absolutely amazing, the staff are very friendly and motivated, always have a smile on their face. My grandmother has been with them now nearly three years and every time I see her, she always has a smile on her face. They are really good with her and I really appreciate that. Thank
you for looking after my nana.

My uncle was only here for a short time, he was moved into three different rooms within the 9 weeks he was a resident, each room smelt strongly of urine. I couldn’t tell you what colour his sheets should have been, they were a dirty grey. I was told to put his name in all his clothing, which we did,
but this didn’t stop his clothes going missing each day, a cardigan went missing and was never found, other residents were wearing his jumpers. He was brought down and sat in front of a TV with no other activities going on for the 9 weeks he was there, carpets are filthy dirty on the upstairs corridors. Some staff seemed ok but found others just couldn’t be bothered with him.
He was put to bed one night in his clothes he had worn the previous day and when I questioned this with the manager she asked me to email her the photo I had taken of him in the state and told me she would deal with this, but she never got back to me. I was told the Manager was new, next she had gone and was told she had left.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.524)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.524) out of 10 for Moss Cottage Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.833 for Moss Cottage Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (31 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.833

  • b) 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 3.691 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Moss Cottage Nursing Home is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.25

    • ii) 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.441

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
