From day one of Mum's moving into Moorgate Lodge, we knew we had found the correct care for Mum. The home is beautiful. The staff, well, I can't praise them enough. Caring and professional, keep us informed at every stage of Mum's care. The rapper Mum has with everyone is a delight to see. I cannot recommend this place enough.
The staff at Moorgate Lodge treat my mum as if she was a member of their own family. They really care about her, and nothing is too much trouble. As a family, we feel at ease knowing she is looked after and cared for.
From the moment we walked into Moorgate Lodge, we felt welcome. The manager was professional and knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The care given to my father was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond their duties. Moorgate Lodge felt like a "home", not an institution. Staff supported my elderly mother and the family when they visited with my father with such kindness. Thank you for making my father's remaining months so comfortable.
I find the staff are all very caring and treat the residents and visitors very well. At times it appears that there is a shortage of staff. Perhaps there could be more things done to stimulate the patients instead of just sitting and watching TV, although I appreciate that not all residents want to do anything or are capable of doing other things.
2 members of staff have become very friendly with my friend and go above and beyond to make sure he is looked after.
On the very few occasions that my friend has had an issue, it has been dealt with promptly and fully.
Although he would obviously rather not be in the home, my friend is well-settled and comfortable in his surroundings. This is mainly due to the care staff who look after him.
Very pleased with the care my husband is receiving. All the staff are cheerful, kind and considerate. Have already recommended you to other people.
My mum received end of life care in Moorgate Lodge from June until she passed away at the beginning of October. The care she received was never less than outstanding and the staff were some of the kindest and most dedicated professionals you could wish to meet. I would just like to say thank you for everything they did to make my mum comfortable during her stay. Way beyond any expectations.
Dad has been here almost 5 weeks now. The care he is receiving is outstanding. I would recommend anyone who is in need of residential or nursing care for their loved one to come home. the nurses and carers are all so very pleasant and nice.
Very impressed with the care my wife has received since her admission to this nursing home at the end of May. The staff have been very helpful and informative and my wife's condition has improved noticeably. All the staff have been cheerful and friendly.
My friend seemed very happy and comfortable with her surroundings and the care she is receiving.
Moorgate Lodge is a welcoming, clean, happy and pleasant home. Every single staff member I have come into contact with are cheerful and friendly, professional, accommodating and genuinely appear happy in their work. From the day of my mother's arrival, she has been treated as an individual, with dignity and respect by staff who genuinely do care and will go the extra mile to ensure people are feeling comfortable, happy and settled. Thank you to everybody at Moorgate Lodge for all your care, hard work and support. It is greatly appreciated.
My husband was in Moorgate Lodge for only one week suffering from stomach cancer. The care he received was outstanding, he felt so comfortable. The nurses were so caring towards him, also they were so kind and welcoming to me. He was in the lodge from 22/02/22 - 01/03/22.
He received outstanding care during the time he was with you and was made to feel so comfortable and unafraid. He passed away on 01.03.2022.
My mom passed away a week ago after one year in Moorgate Lodge. We are very thankful fo the home manager and lovely staff on all levels. It has a happy, positive atmosphere with caring friendly staff.
Looked after all Mum's needs from her arrival to the end, when she passed away.
I cannot rate this nursing home high enough. The care my dearly beloved mum received from her first arriving at Moorgate Lodge right up to her sad passing was truly second to none. She was treated with the utmost respect and dignity by all staff, who went above and beyond to ensure she maintained her usual high personal standard. I found it reassuring and heartwarming how much they genuinely care, and could not have been more relieved and grateful that she was in their care.
I, like most daughters, wanted to care for Mum at home, though over time it became more and more apparent that in the best interest of her welfare, her needs could only be met by her going into a care home. And as my dad had some 10 years earlier had had the best care, she had always said that should the time come that she need to go into a nursing home, Moorgate Lodge was the place she wanted to go.
I now have the peace of mind knowing that my precious mum had the best care possible.
My mother was transferred to Moorgate Lodge care home after a spell in hospital. From the very first day, she was treated with kindness, dignity and wonderful care from the amazing staff. Mum is very settled here and it is our wish as a family that she remains here as her permanent home. The staff are always cheerful and extremely kind and nothing is too much trouble. This home is a happy comfortable environment.
This care provider is an excellent place. My dad is really happy and well cared after.
I would certainly recommend this home to other people. I would also like to mention the food is of a good standard and Mum always enjoys it. Overall, highly recommended.
One more small point, meals are fabulous but sometimes some vegetables are not cooked enough and so cannot be eaten. Most old people have dentures! These are valuable points but overall if this is where I was to end my days, I would be quite happy.
