My mum came into Mortain Place in August 2025 and it's been the best decision we made as a family.
The level of care my mum has received has given her back the health, safety and dignity that her dementia was stealing from her.
The staff are all incredible. The kindness, patience and
understanding with both my mum and us the family has been incredible. We now can't imagine Mum being anywhere else.

My aunt Margaret has been a resident at Mortain Place for several years and loves it there, the room is clean when we visit and she has put on weight. We occasionally join her for lunch which is well prepared with plenty of options, she enjoys going out for coffee with us accompanied by a carer.

Initial requirement was for 2-4 weeks respite care for my mother, and made inquiries of several local homes.
Chose Mortain Place as apart from excellent facilities, from the initial enquiry through to first visit and then agreement to place my mother there, I found the whole process to be
efficient, informative, and most importantly, there was a genuine interest of what I was looking to achieve for the time that my mother was to spend there. My mother's stay has been extended and her condition has improved considerably.
I have found the staff and management to be fully engaged, and most of all, my mother has had nothing to complain about.......

My experience moving my mother to Mortain care home.
I had good support organising the finances arrangements with the Administrator Manager all in good time.
General Manager talked through all our options with myself and my mother, and all staff gave us excellent support in moving my mother into
the care home.
My Mother received incredible welcome on her first day moving into the home, and she was made to feel so welcomed.
The maintenance team supported us in hanging up my mother painting on her walls, they were kind and supportive.
And this helped my mother feel so settled in her room.
All Mortain staff has made us feel as a family so welcomed and supportive.
Mortain care is a very warm loving care home.

The care home is a very caring experience for my mother in law and she is happily settled. All of the staff are very accommodating and helpful and ensure she has a comfortable time. Nothing appears to be too much trouble when requests for baths etc are made. The care home is warm, airy and
comfortable. My mother in law is happy with the food and eats well.

If I ever have to moved into a care home again, Mortain Place would be my first choice.
Everyone was so caring and kind and as I had to be away from home I couldn't have been happier.
The room was comfortable and the food was good.
Thank you very much!

My Mum had a nasty fall so we wanted her to have some respite so she could be properly looked after while she recovered. I chose Mortain Place as I absolutely loved it as soon as I walked in. The place is gorgeous, lovely soft comfortable furnishings, calming colours, very spacious room and
beautifully clean. But more than that, are the staff. They are truly remarkable, nothing is too much and they go out of their way to ensure Mum is extremely well cared for, she is treated like the most important person. To us, it's invaluable she is happy, safe and comfortable and Mortain Place delivers that in spades!! Mum will be returning again next week for another respite stay and it will just be a matter of time before she is a permanent resident. It's a truly special place!

My great aunt is currently staying for respite and she is doing more than she has done for years at home.
I have had lunch with her and was impressed with the food.
Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
Lovely atmosphere and lots of smiles.

The home is immaculately clean in all areas at all times. Facilities are excellent with many lounges and quiet corners, the ground floor bistro is always available with drinks and home made treats. The garden is small, but there's a patio for sitting, flower tubs, and in fine weather carer led
walks. External services (hairdressing etc.) are brought in and well used. Food is excellent, although sometimes I've heard that a second helping is requested by a resident (it must be good!). I've always found the staff to be very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. There's a dedicated activities organiser, who arranges a variety of activities, usually one each morning and afternoon. Mainly run by the carers, but often a school or animal organisation come to the home, and occasionally an outside entertainer. My resident participates in most of these activities. Mortain Place also organises trips to theatres, garden centres, etc.. A lovely place to live.

The staff have all been incredibly helpful and a pleasure to deal with. They all seem to go out of their way to ensure guests have everything they meed and are comfortable. The entire place is kept spotlessly clean and the refreshment station is kept supplied, the food
served in the restaurant is excellent as well as nutritious. I highly recommend.

I spent a week at Mortain Place after having a hip replacement. It was the best decision I could have made and the perfect way to build up my confidence and skills with crutches before going home. I felt safe, secure and looked after from the start. I cannot praise the staff highly enough for their
friendliness and thoughtful care. It may sound like a small thing, but having them always use your name makes a difference. Visitors were made very welcome and there are plenty of informal places to sit and chat over coffee - and very good cake.
I will certainly be recommending Mortain Place. Thank you to everyone for getting me on the road to recovery so quickly.
