Moss Park Care Home Reviews (66)
Over all time Moss Park Care Home has 66 reviews.
Care staff are on quite a low pay for such a hard job and the skills they need to carry it out! More pay would keep their staff instead of having to train new staff when they move jobs for higher wages available in the care sector.
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We really value the feedback provided by those who use our services.
My father stayed at 'Moss Park Care Home' for the last 10 months of his life with dementia. He was from Yorkshire. I was always greeted with friendly, professional kindness by all members of staff. I cannot recommend highly enough the leadership from the management and nursing team. My father was cared for as an individual with respect and dignity during his stay until his death at 'Moss Park Care Home'.
I am very pleased with the care my aunt has received since entering 'Moss Park Care Home' 11 months ago. The carers and management have been very helpful at all times. My aunt is very happy there.
We were shown round, my mum was interested to see the dining room (all set for dinner) and the menus on the tables. She has dementia so not able to do a review or form an opinion but I myself was very impressed. All the staff I saw were cheerful and busy and clean! My mum came back with a nice haircut, fingernails well trimmed and clothes all fresh and clean. I was also happy to see they have a minibus here and have outings.
My aunt is happy and well settled there. She also enjoys all the activities.
Fantastic staff and very relaxed. Environment with a nice clean facilities and good reputation in the area of Lochaber.
