Taking time to settle in, but my Mother-In-Law is well looked after. The staff are great, and the food is excellent, and we are confident in the care provided. She has joined in the organised activities and enjoys the company.

I would be very happy to stay again.

If I could have wrote down before my mum went into Morningside care home, what I would like the home to be I couldn't have asked for a better place, the care my mum received couldn't have been any better, the staff, management, domestics, nurses, carer were absolutely "AMAZING". They all went well and truly above and beyond their duties, my mum passed away there with dignity. Can't thank them all enough for all her care.

When visiting Mum, she was always happy and loved all the staff who cared and looked after her. I can't fault anything with her care at all. I would like to thank everyone involved with my mum, it was deeply appreciated by all the family. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Morningside. It is lovely to hear how much your mum loved the staff and her time here. She was indeed loved by us all, and we miss her. We want to thank you for allowing us the privilege of getting to know her and your family.
It was a home-from-home for my mum. She was in her element here, with all the activities which she could join in or not depending on her.

Only complaint is length of time it takes for assistance to attend the toilet. Possibly purchase another stand aid to solve this problem

Initially, my Dad did not want to stay in a care home of any kind, however, he needed 24-hour care which I could no longer give. Due to the hard work of the team and the care given, my Dad has now settled and is enjoying life once again. He has a better social life than us. A big thank you to...

They do lots of things to stimulate the residents and also include the resident's families which I think is such a good thing.
Keep doing what you are doing as it’s working.

Staff at Morningside go above and beyond to make sure residents are healthy and happy. Mum is enjoying the meals that are provided and staff make sure that she is drinking plenty of fluids. The garden is great for residents and families to sit out in the sunshine.
Highly recommend Morningside Care Home
Thanks very much for the positive review. We thank you for the time you have taken to do this review.
Dad became a resident at Morningside Care Home following an awful stay in hospital. From the very first day, he was treated with dignity and respect, as were we as his family. The care home is bright and welcoming and the staff are very friendly and helpful. They have a great activities coordinator...
Unfortunately, Dad had to go back into hospital during very difficult circumstances and the staff could not have facilitated the transfer with more care for both him and us. Dad was only a resident at Morningside for 4 months but during that time he became part of their family and we will be forever grateful for the care he received there.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with Morningside Care Home, we are delighted to learn you felt we upheld your Dad's dignity and treated him with respect. It's important to us that all our residents experience dignity and respect, and that this is also experienced by our families too. Thank...

It's important to us that all our residents experience dignity and respect, and that this is also experienced by our families too. Thank you for choosing Morningside to support your Dad; it was our privilege, and we thoroughly enjoyed celebrating the festive period with him and your family.
The staff are fantastic. Both environment and all staff are caring and friendly. If it wasn't for Morningside my dad wouldn't be here today. They look after him so so well. The staff are very approachable about everything. Dad's room is always clean and warm.

Staff shortages were a real problem and that was a concern for me as I worried that agency staff didn't know the residents and that had implications for their care. However, I'm very pleased that there is a new manager in place now and it's reassuring to know that she has worked tirelessly to recruit new staff as well as generally improve areas which needed attention.
I have got to know the regular staff members well in the time my mum has been a resident. They are so kind and helpful and when I visit I am always happy to witness their patience and understanding as they care for the residents. I know what a challenging job it can be and it means everything to me to know that my mum is being looked after and made to feel safe and content.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of Morningside Care Home, it's wonderful to learn how your Mum has found the staff to be helpful and kind. We recongise that staffing has been a systemic issue across the health and social care sector, we continue to work on recruitment stratigies to improve this.
Very welcoming, very friendly people and professional staff. Find the home clean, tidy and great to see the residents up and about and doing activities. Great assets to home, such as the cinema and games console.

My mum was moved to Morningside Care Home to spend the final months of her life. When she came to Morningside, she thrived due to the care, love and support she received. She told me on every visit how wonderful the staff were and what a wonderful place the care home was. We were able to enjoy much more time than we expected with my aunt, which was entirely due to the excellent care she received from everybody - housekeepers, laundry staff, catering and care staff. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Kind Regards.
Staff very professional kind and caring. Very informative always approach us and keep us informed. Nice environment and always welcoming when we are visiting our mum. Would love mum to participate more but this is up to her. Not a reflection on the staff they try hard to get her involved.
