Moorlands Court

The care for residents is outstanding. Management of Moorlands provides a homely appeal with first-class professionalism from staff. Staff have gone above and beyond to help settle my sister and her husband, who had to suddenly move into extra care accommodation due to my sister's complex needs. Nothing is too much trouble.

It is now two months since my aunt moved to Moorlands Court. It provides ideal accommodation for her enabling her to retain her independence whilst giving support and care when needed. It also offers safety and security which is much appreciated by herself and the family.

When my mother was offered a place at Moorlands Court we couldn't believe our good fortune. The building is modern and well maintained. The flat offered was quite spacious with all the necessary facilities and, being unfurnished, Mother was able to have familiar things around her. The premises are well run by efficient, friendly and helpful staff. As a bonus, a very good quality meal is provided at midday.

I have been having Moorlands care since 2010 and then after losing my husband in 2013 I started coming to the day centre for the company and thought what a wonderful place it was. After speaking to my family I put my name down. It was the best thing I have done, no more worry about looking after the garden which was really getting me down in the bungalow. Everyone here is so helpful. I still have my car so just the same but no more worry lovely.

As a carer for my husband and with family living in Northumberland, Hampshire and Northamptonshire, I rely on my ability to use both hands! Having experienced a fall on 20th September which resulted in a broken left wrist and 2 fractured fingers on my right hand, I have been unable to wash or dress myself properly. Our family got in touch with Moorlands Court at Melbourne and arranged for a carer to come in the morning and evening and also to provide hot dinners for my husband and I.

I enjoyed coming and meeting people, things to do. I am glad they enjoyed my stories I have written and photos I took of everyone. I will be moving to Suffolk soon.

Although my mother's dementia deepened during these final years she never failed to tell me how happy she was at Moorlands and how well cared for. Whenever I had questions or concerns, staff were readily on hand to answer my questions and I always felt welcomed.
