We are in the presence of the most friendly and caring care home ever. I am a regular visitor thanks to the staff of Mornington Care Home. I appreciated it so very much and would recommend it to anyone waiting to put their relatives into care; they will find nothing better than Mornington Care Home.
All the staff are 1st class people, and I love them all.

Where do I start? Every single member of the Mornington Court family has looked after our amazing dad better than we could ever had hoped for. They have all treated him with so much love, kindness and dignity and have made his stay here such a safe and happy one. They have all made his happiness a priority
as they do with every single resident and manage to make the care for each resident so bespoke. Each member of the team here has gone above and beyond and we could not be more grateful. Thank you all. We will be forever grateful to each one of you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot thank the staff at Mornington Court enough.
They cared for my dad until the end and I felt so reassured every time I left that he was in good hands.
Dad always said he didn't want to end up in a care home but he lived it there. The love, care, professionalism and knowledge of all the staff
was incredible. It feels as though looking after my dad was not a job but a vocation, treating him as part of their extended family and everyone had a part to play - cleaners to chefs (food is amazing), housekeeping. The staff all seem happy there which made for such a lovely, homely atmosphere. I couldn't recommend Mornington Court highly enough.
Thank you.

Mornington Court is a wonderful place. The surroundings are beautiful and kept spotlessly clean. The staff are very friendly and do their utmost to help both my father and me.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Mornington Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 5.000 for Mornington Court is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 5
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mornington Court is based on 18 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
