My mother has been resident in Mossvale for juat over a week now. She has settled very well, the room is small but comfortable and we've made it homely. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and very responsive, in my.experiemce. There's a warmth to the place in general terms, mum enjoys the food
and the attention she receives. She hasnt quite made new friends yet, but that'll come and is supported by the staff. So far, I'm very happy we chose Mossvale.

Thank you for your kind review. We are glad your mum has settled in so well at Mossvale and we are really enjoying spending time with her and getting to know her better.

Fantastic in all aspects, staff introduced themselves to me and my brother as soon as we arrived. He now thinks he stays in a 5-star hotel which in my opinion tells you how wonderful Mossvale is. So far his care has been exceptional. We had a bad experience in the past with other care homes but now
he is happy and content and smiling for the first time in nearly 2 years.

The hardest thing we had to do was accept my dad had to go into care. When we were shown around Mossvale Care Home it felt so homely and friendly. We have not been disappointed, my dad has been living here for several months now. Knowing he's happy, safe and well cared for is everything we wanted. The
staff are all amazing and nothing is too much, they all go above and beyond. Knowing my dad is part of the Mossvale family makes leaving him there so much easier after every visit, thank you all at Mossvale!
Reply from Ray Ainsworth, Home Manager at Mossvale Care Home

Thank you for your kind words and review. It's our pleasure to support your dad at Mossvale Care Home and we are delighted he is part of the Mossvale Family. We will pass the feedback on to the staff.

The cafe is a welcome initiative to the home. Lovely decorated and a nice place to sit. It makes for a much more pleasant visit for both residents and visitors. It is also good to meet other residents and their visitors and to hear different voices.
Suggest maybe add a small library where visitors
can bring books, magazines etc.
Also, a good place to have better interaction with the staff on a less formal basis.
Reply from Rachel Ainsworth, Home manager at Mossvale Care Home

Hi Tommy

My sister is very happy and settled in Mossvale Care Home. I am confident that she is being very well looked after and pleased to be kept informed of any health or other problem that might arise.
The one fly in the ointment, for all members of my family, is the two pugs who bark and growl when we enter
the building. When this happens, I ask that they be removed, which a member of staff will do.
Reply from Rachel Ainsworth, Home manager at Mossvale Care Home

Thank you for your kind remarks, any time you or your family are visiting we will continue to remove the dogs for your comfort.

My aunt, who has dementia, has resided in Mossvale Care Home for 3 months and has received excellent care by the hardworking staff. Our family are provided with constant updates on her ever changing care needs by her carers and the nursing staff. The activities coordinator organises various things for
the residents to do to fill their day, from baking, knitting, crafts, singing, etc. My aunt regularly has her hair and nails done. I can honestly say that she is well cared for.

As a family, we are happy to see my brother settled and happy. His carers look after him very well and keep us updated on any issues with him. They also inform us of any activities he has attended or are available to him. The staff in Mossvale Care Home are friendly, caring and welcoming. Thank you

My mum has now been a resident for 4 years and 4 months, the staff are exceptional and make her smile every day, she is settled and loved, even when we can't get close there is always someone that cares for her around. Even during the pandemic, they tried so hard to keep in contact with family which
was exceptionally hard for everyone concerned. The activities keep residents motivated and happy they do a fantastic job, and their social media letting you see your loved ones is so good for all family members to see loved ones even when they are not close by. Couldn't think of a better place for my mum, when we take her out and bring her back she smiles and says I'm home. Means the world, knowing loved ones are happy.

Extremely pleased with the care and relationships that all staff and management have with my mother, they go above and beyond their job description. There is always some kind of entertainment/activities for the residents to stimulate them. I have never had many issues with them but any that I have had
has been dealt with instantly and efficiently.

Mossvale has been the best move for both my parent's since my dad moved in February this year. He has settled in great with the help of the fantastic team of staff and Mum and the rest of the family have peace of mind that he is well looked after and is happy and safe. Mossvale was highly recommended
by my husband's family who also have relatives in the home which was the main reason we chose Mossvale after a bad respite experience in another home. All the staff are so approachable and nothing is a bother or hassle for them. The entertainment that is organised is great and the girls are always encouraging Dad to join in! One member of staff, in particular, has been great at dealing with any problems or questions we have had, he will be a great loss to the home.

I must say that since the new manager has started I have seen a great improvement in the way the care home is moving forward. He is always ready to listen to anything I have concerns about and will sit and talk them over and I come home feeling reassured that my mum is being well cared for. The home
has some lovely staff who are truly interested in getting to know their residents. The new chef is also a hit cooking up some lovely meals and cakes for the residents. I know my mum is getting the care she needs at this stage of her life.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.009)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.009) out of 10 for Mossvale Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.735 for Mossvale Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.735
  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 4.274 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mossvale Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.2 = 0.574
  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.
