An excellent nursing home. Would highly recomend it. Very caring staff and excellent food.
The entertainment and activities are very good.
The entertainment and activities are very good.
An addition I'm sure the residents would appreciate is the availability of cold, iced water perhaps in the corridors. The tap water soon becomes tepid in the rooms.

Review from Kelly H (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Very hard at first, probably coming to terms with mum in a home. She wasn't too keen on the food, but that was because she loved curry, spicy food etc but understands that is not for everyone. We were able to buy a fridge for her room, and I would bring meals for her. Mum was kept clean, as was her room. Towards the end, we were all made to feel so comfortable, with the staff looking after me so well, too. I will never forget the care, kindness and support they provided for my mum and me.

MGH provides excellent care for my mother. The building is very modern with top of the range facilities. All of the staff are very kind respectful and professional. The managment team are very easy to talk to and always try and deal with any concerns ASAP. I highly recommend MGH to anyone looking for excellent care for their elderly relatives.

Review from Susan S (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I approached Moorland Garden about five months ago as I realised I could not longer cope with looking after my 97 year old mother. We were both treated with the utmost respect and in no way was I made to feel guilty for no longer being able to cope. She found it difficult to begin with, but was given the support she needed in order to settled into a new routine. Not easy for either of us but we have just about got there. She is now joining in activities of which there are many and I really enjoying what is on offer. Also lovely is that she can have visitors at any time and they are always made welcome.
↩Reply from Sid Rao, Administrator at Moorland Garden Nursing Home
Thank you for your feedback , it is greatly appreciated.We will keep doing our best to maintain the standard of care and support we offer mum.
It is never easy when a loved one transitions from home to a care setting, but we are delighted that you found this process smooth and comfortable.

Review from Sally R (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 October 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has been a resident since March 2025. I have nothing but praise for the staff who have, and remain, responsible for Mum's care and wellbeing. Despite, a late diagnosis of dementia and a swift decline, all staff have provided excellent support, care, and encouragement. Mum has now settled in and enjoys some friendly banter with the staff and other residents (she has never lost her sense of humour).
Thanks to everyone she is now settled and happy.
↩Reply from Sid Rao, Administrator at Moorland Garden Nursing Home
Thank you very much for this review.We are delighted that our staff have provided a standard of care and support that met your expectations. We will continue to provide mum with the best environment possible and make sure that her sense of humour never fades !

Overall Experience
Mum has been here for 6 months. It has taken a while for her to settle in, but finally she is seeming much more settled thanks to the amazing care and attention from all the team at Moorland Garden. They have not only supported her, but us in the transition of Mum now needing so much care. Nothing is too much trouble and each day further improvements seem to be made. Thank you.

Review from S G (Mother of Resident) published on 22 August 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
This care home is lovely, not only is the setting beautiful, the care is outstanding.
My son stayed there for his end of life care. He was 37 but this home is well beyond any expectations you may have. I don't have the words to commend the care staff enough. His care was kind, sensitive and very person centred, they knew him as an individual. Staff responded to his every need promptly, with kindness while maintaining his dignity. They need to be told how good they are and be proud of the highest quality care that I have ever seen (and I'm an ex nurse!)

Review from I C (Son of Resident) published on 22 April 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My father has been resident in 3 nursing homes in the Plymouth area and Moorland Garden is by far the best. The staff are all kind, caring and professional. There is always a warm and friendly greeting. The environment is always exceptionally clean, tidy and never smells like some other homes. Residents feel they are staying in a top quality hotel rather than a nursing home. I would have no hesitation recommending Moorland Garden

Review from M A (Friend of Resident) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My wife and I were looking around Devon and Cornwall for a suitable nursing home for my wife's best friend, they have been friends for over 60 years, her friend is now newly 90 and at her time of life she needs that special care and some nursing to be able to enjoy and sustain everyday life. Moorland Garden Nursing Home certainly provides a fantastic environment plus first class nursing and care, the food I think could be improved.

Overall Experience
I cannot express enough how grateful we are for the wonderful care my father has received at Moorland Gardens nursing home. After his fall, he needed specialized care and attention, and this facility has gone above and beyond our expectations. The staff provide incredible one-on-one care, ensuring his comfort and well-being at all times. They treat him with dignity, respect, and compassion, making sure all of his needs are met.
The facility itself is clean, welcoming, and well-organized. One aspect that stands out is the quality of the meals-they provide delicious, nutritious food, and my father always looks forward to mealtimes.

The care my mum received has been superb. She has been happy, made friends, loves the staff and danced.

Overall Experience
I find the staff from manager to cleaner kind, respectful, caring, and take time to listen even though they are busy. They are kind and caring to my mum which is most important. They always try to fulfil her needs. They give a smile every time one enters and through the visit whether they are busy or not. I am so glad my mum is in this nursing home and not the other one which as a family we said no to.

Review from C R (Resident / Service User) published on 3 September 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
After spending years of my life living with complex medical conditions within nursing homes across the country at a young age, I have found what can only be described as unexpected heaven. Moorland Gardens offers a unique boutique-style nursing home with an emphasis on quality care, magnificent food and most importantly a sense of being part of a kind friendly community. Fully trained staff provide a feeling of warm safety, going out of their way to spend time with each resident. The premises exude the feeling of peaceful space consisting of wide corridors, a well-lit dining room, comfortable lounges and most importantly 5-star quality rooms with large Windows with stunning views of the moors consisting of large modern bathrooms where a wheelchair can easily turn around in. Staff, residents, and their families can be heard laughing and interacting so well. Would I recommend Moorland Gardens? Yes. Am I happy to stay here for the rest of my life? Again, the answer is a clear yes.
