Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been living in Mossdale for some time now and I genuinely couldn't ask for a better place for her. The staff are simply wonderful - warm, caring and always go the extra mile to make her feel safe, valued and loved. The atmosphere is cheerful and welcoming and there's a real sense of community.
It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she's surrounded by such kind hearted people everyday. Truly a home full of heart!

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
The sign on the entrance says they are over staffed, in my opinion, Mossdale is understaffed. Mum has has several injuries in the last few months & no one can tell me how they've happend, I find this bizarre as if they are being cared for, which is what we're paying for (at a cost of over £6,000 per
month!) my opinion, someone should be with them and monitoring them constantly. On one visit, I was there for over 2 hrs & in this time, only saw 1 carer twice for a total of 4 minutes,
! We've spent hundreds of pounds on clothing recently on shoes, slippers and clothing, then labeled it all to find most has gone missing and found several items in my mums wardrobe thst aren't hers. There's also an expensive gold ring gone missing from my mums finger as well, we were also told there were day trips out from Mossdale as well but I've never seen one, seriously contemplating moving mum from here as they only seem interested in profit, not care. Food is also bad, mum's now 6st from 10.

Dad was in Mossdale for an assessment for 28 days.
He was very settled there and well looked after. The staff on his floor enjoyed his wit and cheeky humour. The food was very good with lots of choice and rooms comfortable. The home manager and receptionist were very helpful.

My experience of Mossdale and it's staff was an extremely positive one. The staff were all very warm and welcoming and my sons and I knew, straight away, this was the right place for their dad, and what turned out to be, his end-of-life care needs. His short stay was comfortable, dignified and peaceful.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this wonderful care home to anyone.

Review from Sandra P (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My dad has been on the dementia unit for two weeks for respite care.
There seems to be a serious lack of staff, dementia patients were left wandering around with no staff to be found, one resident became ill, a visitor to the care home sat her down and then ran around trying to find a member of staff.
On one visit, two residents were arguing and one hit the other with a hairbrush, again no staff were anywhere to be found.
On one visit, my dad was still in bed when I arrived at 11.30 am, eventually, I found a member of staff to get him ready for lunch at 12.15, no one had been to check on him or was aware he was still in bed.
Finally, on the day he came home, we received a call to say they had given him too much of one of his medications for the last five days!
The only activity we witnessed in the two weeks was a member of staff arrived one afternoon with some paper Easter eggs and colouring pens put them on the table, disappeared and didn't return.
We would not use this care home again.

During what is a very traumatic and difficult time, we have been treated with the utmost respect and empathy. All staff have been extremely friendly, professional and sympathetic tending to Dad's needs. Having visited other care homes, Mossdale is more like a five-star hotel. Everywhere is spotlessly
clean, the bedrooms are perfect, with ensuite wet rooms. The food is exceptional with lots of variety. Very impressed with all aspects of Mossdale.

My father was cared for over a period of two weeks. He found it difficult to adapt and settle, but the staff were patient and caring with him, meeting all the needs he expressed. We were confident that my father was safe and being looked after by caring and committed staff.

My mum's only been a resident for just over 2 weeks. Overall, the home is lovely and all staff are very good and caring. My mum has settled in really well and seems happy.
The only issue we seem to have is the TV in her room (since she came to the home), signal problems and unable to get the channels
she's always watched at her own home.

Thank you for a lovely review, please contact our home manager or administrator who will arrange for our maintenance operative to check your mum's TV.

I visited my elderly friend at Mossdale every week for over a year and each visit I was impressed by the care and friendship that my friend was receiving. She was clean and dressed to her usual high standards, encouraged to socialise, spoken to with respect by the staff and treated with kindness at
all times. My friend never complained about the staff although she did sometimes grumble about the food. Her room was warm and comfortable. It was easy for her to move around the ground floor and enjoy conversation and coffee with the other residents. Thank you for looking after my friend so well.

At the age of 99 my Mum spent the last few weeks of her life at Mossdale Residence. She received excellent care at that time and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Without exception, all the staff were very caring and attentive to Mum and they all did their best to make her stay as comfortable
as possible. As well as looking after Mum the staff were concerned about us as a family and they did their best to make our situation as pleasant as possible.

My 99-year-old Mum’s stay at Mossdale was just a few short weeks but our family was extremely pleased with the care she received. The staff were always pleasant, caring and empathetic to her needs. They treated her with respect and she retained her dignity until the end. Thank you to all involved in
making her final days comfortable and for accommodating so many of our family throughout her stay. We highly recommend this care home. I have given 3 stars for food and drink because my Mum was in her latter days and didn’t eat much at all. She was, however, always offered meals or nutritional drinks.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.417)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.417) out of 10 for Mossdale Residence is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.417 for Mossdale Residence is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (14 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.417
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mossdale Residence is based on 20 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 20 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.
