I viewed multiple care homes but Moulsham Home stood out to me for the caring atmosphere everyone has been so welcoming to my nan. The bedrooms have a lovely layout to fit all her photo's around whist having lots of space for her ornaments. I know my nan is in the best hands.

Very nice little home compassionate and caring staff and manager/owner. Nothing doesn't seem to be too much trouble and any concerns are dealt with in a timely manner. Home cooked food daily is a bonus. Home is well run and feels like one big family. My mum is enjoying her stay here.

Mum has been residing at Moulsham Lodge since November 2025. She is unable to do much for herself and requires assistance, prompting with most daily tasks. The care staff have been incredible, she gets very anxious, and they do a great job of keeping her looked after. She has come here from a domestic marriage where her husband was her full-time carer. She looks well, clean, healthy and content. Communication from staff is second to none with messages re. her doctors' letters and appointments, as well as messages about her general wellbeing.
My father couldn't be in better hands. I'm updated with phots and phone calls frequently. He loves the entertainment programs offered. Moulsham is always spotlessly clean and the staff are very friendly.

Kind and considerate care home putting the needs of their residents first. My auntie was so well looked after here and we are extremely happy with the support provided from the staff throughout her respite stay.

We were so worried about leaving him. However, our concerns were soon put at ease. As soon as we walked through the door we were greeted with a warm welcome. The staff were so friendly and treated my brother with respect. The feedback and photographs we were getting from family members that visited him while we were away were so positive. Also the photos showed a very happy brother. We were so pleased we have already used Moulsham Home for daycare service and scheduled another week of respite later in the year. Thank you all at Moulsham Home, we're very grateful

The team are professional, warm and hard working. They are close knit, caring and attend to the residents' needs and requirements in a timely and effective manner. They respond to queries, requests and questions from relatives, friends as best they can in a busy environment.
The only minor issue I would raise is that the clarity around responsibility / actions around medical matters for the residents could be improved in terms of being clearer about who the relatives / friends should contact about queries / questions re their relatives treatment / appointments.
Also it would be helpful if a bank account could be set up where relatives could transfer petty cash for relatives disbursements rather than having to physically attend the home
My aunt seems happy at Moulsham Street. She appears well-looked after, amply stimulated by staff and able to lead as active a life as she is capable of.

My aunt seems happy at Moulsham Street. She appears well-looked after, amply stimulated by staff and able to lead as active a life as she is capable of. Her medical and financial needs appear to be well-managed and her needs for care and companionship satisfied. The staff seem friendly, caring and always ready to help. Visits are easy to arrange and visitors welcomed into the home.
Initially I thought the Care home was amazing, supportive and my relative well cared for. When the CQC came along I gave them a glowing report. Although the home wasn't perfect I realised that nothing could replace a home environment. Over time I began to take note of things that I was not happy...
1. Senior staff berating younger staff in front of residents and relatives which was embarrassing.
2. My relative who had LD put in a back room with other residents with LD which was away from the main hub with little or nothing to keep them occupied.
3. My relative eventually suffered from a DVT which wasn't reported until the next day by which time clots had developed on his lungs. I had suggested to a staff member a DVT but she thought it was a leg infection. I feel my relatives last few weeks were made worse by this experience.
4. I was notified by TXT from the manager that they were no longer able to look after my relative. A phone call would have been appreciated.
Thank you for the feedback, and thank you for the glowing report to cqc, your brother loved the activities and one to one weekly trips to town and i hope you enjoyed the weekly photographs and videos to your phone and updates of his health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, you never raised any...
Thank you for the feedback, and thank you for the glowing report to cqc, your brother loved the activities and one to one weekly trips to town and i hope you enjoyed the weekly photographs and videos to your phone and updates of his health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, you never raised any concerns during the time your brother was a resident at the care home, which is a shame, as you know I was always to hand every day and also available on my mobile phone 24/7. It is such a shame that we do not offer enhanced nursing care but I'm afraid we do not, sometimes medical and health needs warrant enhanced care and it's not a matter that the care home takes lightly.
My mother moved into the Moulsham Home in August 2024. My sister and I had been looking at different homes for a couple of years. From the first visit, this home stood out and the key thing was the owner/manager. She is outstanding versus managers elsewhere. We felt that for her this is more than...
The food is mostly home cooking from scratch. There is no danger of anyone being undernourished in this home, there is a strong focus on nutrition and catering to individual preferences and needs. Also, all residents are always clean and well-dressed.
When visiting Moulsham Care Home I have always been welcomed by a member of the staff. The home itself is always clean and tidy with ample staff to see to the residents' needs.

My friend was struggling to cope at home and had already contacted Moulsham Home before she was suddenly admitted to hospital. It was such a relief that when, after a few days, she was ready for discharge she could immediately go to this Home on a temporary basis. The staff were welcoming and dealt with a potentially difficult transition very well. The future for my friend is uncertain, but I and her other friends know that for now, she is safe, well-supported, warm, and well-fed.

Our aunt first came to Moulsham Care Home in April 2024, initially for two weeks of respite care while her house was re-wired. We chose this care home because we had been impressed by how helpful and professional the owner was, with clearly a strong team of friendly, kind and efficient carers and we felt it had a lovely, homely ambience. Our aunt was very quickly put at her ease and within a few days had settled in very well. We cannot praise the owner and staff at Moulsham Care Home enough for the excellent care and compassion they have shown to her. Her life has been transformed, having arrived somewhat unkempt and underweight, she is now a healthy weight, always clean and nicely dressed, enjoys trips out and loves the audiobooks they have introduced her to and enjoys the company, none of which she had at home. She liked it so much in fact that decided that she would like to stay in the care home permanently which is a testament to what an outstanding establishment it is.
