Rooms are very well kept always neat and tidy and smelling fresh staff are helpful and kind they do work very hard and long hours they have plenty of activities going on and fund

I stayed in Morningside Care Home for 1 weeks respite from 3rd - 10th May 2025. Everything was 1st class. From my room and facilities to my treatment by the staff. I enjoyed the food and especially liked the little church service on Tuesday and entertainer on Thursday.The bedroom was spotless, also
the dining area and communal areas. 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.

We were able to take Mum out for a wee lunch at times and she was always ready to come back here, which was not the case at her previous home. 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.

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. Anytime we visited she was always happy and well looked after. Room was immaculate and the people very caring. I can't thank them enough on how they dealt with the

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 everyone.

Great staff, everyone is welcoming when my papa first arrived, lovely meals and cafe 41 is great. We’re allowed to visit anytime which is great for everyone’s schedules and we decorated his room so he feels more homely. They just introduced 2 new little kittens which I’m so excited to see around the

Morningside Care Home is such a homely and caring care home. I cannot thank the staff enough as they go above and beyond. My mother-in-law has only been here for a few weeks but she has settled in and we know when we are leaving her she is happy and feels very content and safe.
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.

Mum moved to Morningside Care Home at the end of May 2023. Since moving here, Mum has found a happy home where all the staff are friendly. It is a joy to see Mum partaking in the daily activities and coming out of her room.
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

Review from Catherine B (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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
who, along with the staff, ensures there are lots of things happening within the care home, but on the day's dad didn't want to participate, the staff spent time with him on his own and regularly checked he was OK. Christmas time was made particularly special, with concerts and a great party.
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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been in Morningside Care Home for a year and a half and in that time I have seen changes and real efforts to improve the quality of care.
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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.206)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.206) out of 10 for Morningside Care 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.781 for Morningside Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.781
  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 4.425 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Morningside Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.625
  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.
