Movilla House

I would definitely recommend Movilla House to anyone who is looking for a nursing home for their loved one. My experience I have found every staff member very supportive and sympathetic to every bit of my mother's needs. The home is very clean and I have never experienced any bad smells when coming into the reception area.

The food is very nicely presented which is very important when you have someone like my mother who would eat with her eyes, if she didn't like the look of anything then she would not eat it. Needless to say, as well as the food looking good, it is very tasty (as I have already tried it for myself). I also like the fact that Movilla House has an open door policy, you can visit anytime night or day. I find that very comforting because I feel they have nothing to hide. When a resident is poorly the level of care is fantastic, and I do go home with peace of mind knowing that I have left my mother in good safe hands.

My mother has been a resident at Movilla House for two years. As I live overseas and only get home to visit her twice a year, it is of the utmost importance to me that I feel I can trust that she is being given the best care possible. I have consistently found the staff to be very attentive, patient and kind. They address the residents by name and are warm and caring in their interactions.
The home has undergone major refurbishment this year having been newly painted throughout and fitted with new carpets, curtains and decor. It looks completely refreshed and welcoming. The gardens are also maintained beautifully and I have enjoyed on several occasions arriving to find my mother outside with other residents enjoying a warm, sunny day. On my most recent visit I was happy to join her in a cupcake decorating workshop organized by the activity coordinator. A number of the residents gathered in the dining room to make icing and decorate cupcakes with a variety of toppings. They then ate them as tea was served and shared stories of baking in their younger days. A sing-along spontaneously broke out and was encouraged by the coordinator and everyone joined in. It was a delight to see. Also on the wall was a collage of drawings by residents from another workshop and I was happy to see that Mum had also participated in that. These activities and opportunities to gather socially are a wonderful asset.

My siblings and I feel very fortunate that our mother is at Movilla House and we are confident that she is receiving the best of care.
