Review from Serena H (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum was transferred to Movilla House from the hospital around November 2022. She stayed for a few months and was taken very good care of. Even the cleaning staff would stop and spend a little time with the residents, everyone was so helpful.

I am very happy with the care given to my friend. Staff always very pleasant. The food is first class and the choice is good.
My friend is bedridden so does not attend the activities but I have noticed they are excellent.

The staff are very attentive and respond well to his needs.

Review from Val H (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

What an amazing place! Our mum counts it as home. She is well cared for and allowed as much independence as she can manage. The activities on offer in Movilla House are varied and frequent and enthusiasm for balloon tennis and the numerous craft-related sessions is genuine. Staff are beyond patient, attentive to the individual with their various quirks and preferences and always on hand with good common sense advice and an approachable smile. Our mum eats well, sleeps well and is, in fact, healthier than we have seen her in years. She feels known, valued and well cared for. Thank you to all staff for the time and effort you give to each individual and for allowing our mum’s life to be so full and useful.

Overall Experience

December was a great month for residents and their families, the home was beautifully decorated for Christmas by staff and residents got involved too, making decorations, as Mum is confined to bed she was well looked after with staff popping in and letting her know what was happening. I cannot thank all the staff enough for their care and kindness which makes me happy knowing Mum is so well looked after.

Overall Experience

My dad seems fairly settled and comfortable, that’s due to the care he’s received. He gets stimulated with the activities which help pass the time for him and allows him to participate with the other residents. He eats well most of the time and is well liked by most of the staff.

Overall Experience

When my mum moved into Movilla House, the activity coordinators have gone the extra mile to keep us in contact with her via Skype calls. I cannot thank them enough as we are too distant for regular visits. They enable us to see Mum, and her us, and share photos of her extended family.

Review from Jan C (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 10 June 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the moment she arrived at Movilla House after a fall in January, Mum has been so well looked after. She has gained ground lost after the fall and is so well cared for. Early on we were asked by staff what they could do to provide the best service for her and they have followed up on our suggestions. The staff go out of their way to allow us regular contact with her via Skype as we live far away. She gets so much from this and the sharing online of photos of family and home that she no longer sees face to face. Communication is very good between us and the home, nothing seems to be too much trouble. There appear to be plenty of activities and Mum herself expresses how well cared-for she is. So glad Mum is well looked after and happily settled here.

Overall Experience

I cannot praise Movilla House highly enough. The home is spotlessly clean and all needs catered for. Now, what can I say about the staff? They are totally amazing, nothing is too much trouble and they treat all residents with care and respect. I have told my husband if the day comes that I have to go into care this is where he definitely has to put me.

Review from Stacey A (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 30 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My lovely nanny has been a resident of Movilla House care home for several months now. She has not been herself in quite some time and in and out of hospital. Now that she has settled into Movilla House she is so much happier. The staff are so sweet and caring with her and she really has got a new spring in her step. She loves all the entertainment and activities that go on in the home and it has really brought her out of her shell again. Our family are so happy to see her like this and to know she is getting looked after so well. We are delighted we got a place for her in Movilla House and hope she can enjoy it for a long time. Thank you to all the staff for making our wee nanny feel so loved and so at home.

Review from Pauline T (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My elderly parents have just recently moved to Movilla House. A decision which we as a family found very hard. We have found Movilla House to be a home from home. The staff have been very caring and professional. Their every need is catered for and the staff have been very kind and compassionate. The daily activities and interaction with other residents and staff have been invaluable for their mental health, and Mum enjoys her pamper sessions each week visiting the hairdresser and having her nails done. Thank you Movilla House for taking the strain off our family and the reassurance that they are in good hands.

Review from Jonathan A (Son of Resident) published on 30 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident at Movilla House for over 3 years. I cannot speak highly enough about the care provided and the staff at Movilla House. Every member of staff regardless of their position goes out of their way to create a warm, friendly and caring environment within the home. All staff do whatever they can for Mum and nothing is ever too much for them. They always have time for a chat with either Mum or me. Movilla House is truly a home away from home. Since moving into Movilla House my mum's condition has slowed down and this has been credited by her consultant to the caring and supportive environment within the home. Thank you to all the team at Movilla House.

Couldn’t ask for any better care when my dad was a resident in Movilla House from June 2021 until September 2021. The staff were amazing and nothing was a bother to them both with dad and us as a family. Would highly recommend.

Review from Dorothy C (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident for over 3 and a half years and during this time has received excellent care on a daily basis from a very dedicated workforce for whom nothing is too much trouble. They have coped with the covid pandemic admirably and continue even today working in sometimes trying circumstances wearing PPE. When visiting was not permitted contact with my mother was maintained through the use of video calls and special thanks are due to the activities staff who facilitated this. Movilla House is home to my mother and she is treated with love and respect all the time. The standard of hygiene and cleanliness in the home is very high, the food is nutritious and the choice of menus is varied. Staff are friendly and very approachable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Movilla House to anyone looking for care for their loved ones.

Review from Peter W (Son of Resident) published on 27 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father has been very professionally cared for. He recently had covid and was able to stay at the home with oxygen and antibiotics. Immediate next of kin (my brother and I) have had good visiting access. We have been happy with the precautions to avoid bringing covid into the home. His personal care is good and clothes clean. The staff of all grades are friendly and interact with him very well.

Review from Roderick M (Son of Resident) published on 26 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum has been in Movilla House since 26th August 2019 and throughout that period until now the care has been tremendous indeed. Management and staff are truly professional in all aspects of care for my mum from morning to night and all night. Right from the beginning of the pandemic their professionalism has been amazing and has kept morale in the home extremely good. The natural ability and keen interest in my Mum’s care in all categories is excellent. Having the Skype calls and currently, the visits in the bubble are invaluable for sure.
