My sister-in-law is very fortunate to be a resident of this care home. The staff are all excellent, both efficient and friendly, and she is very well cared for. There is a lot of attention to her mental as well as physical wellbeing. There are lots of activities and visitors are always made very welcome.
There are often celebrations which are marked in personal and meaningful ways.

Review from Avril M (Wife of Resident) published on 9 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff have been exceptional since my husband became a resident within Morar Lodge. Not only do they support my husband with his every need but they have supported me through this new transitional period within our lives.
No matter who comes to visit, be it myself, our daughters or grandchildren,
every single member of the staff greets us with sincere smiles and happiness.
The ethos within Morar Lodge is calm and welcoming and all residents seem settled and happy. Activities are offered to residents to encourage them to engage with other service users and other people, this has been beneficial to my husband especially when he first came as it encouraged him to leave his room and mingle with others.
Even though my husband has been here a short period, as a family we can not thank the staff within Morar Lodge for what they have done for my husband enough.
Thank you to all the members of staff at Morar Lodge, you are the care in this care home.

Morar Lodge provides a very homely and caring environment for residents. The care staff and cleaners are all very kind to carers and visitors. The home takes time to ensure the spiritual needs of residents are respected and encourages the Church ministers to visit residents. They are always very welcoming
when I visit.

My Mum has been happily cared for at Morar Lodge for over a year. The staff know her well and their kindness, compassion and patience appear limitless. I can tell Mum enjoys them and although her memory is failing her she benefits from their consistency. Thank you for the care you give Mum.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.841)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.841) out of 10 for Morar Lodge Nursing 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.841 for Morar Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 151 Ratings = 4.841
  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 Morar Lodge Nursing Home is based on 13 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
