Reviews for Mortain Place Care Home

"We looked at this home a year and a half ago knowing my mum would eventually have to go into full-time care, so decided to look again at this home and we're still impressed. My mum has now settled in and fully adjusted, she calls it a hotel. The care she receives is brilliant and talking to the staff fills you with confidence for your loved one, the food is exceptional here as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home."

"I felt my relative was treated with care, dignity and genuine affection. Staff were always polite and cheery and had time to answer any queries. There seemed to be a good range of activities. Food was plentiful with good quality and choice. We were always informed of any falls or medical issues. We have never regretted choosing Barchester Mortain Place Care Home."

"I came in for respite after a hip replacement and wanted to be as independent as possible in order to get home. The staff supported me and kept a firm eye on me to make sure I was coping, taking instant and appropriate action when my blood pressure became too high. Everything about the service I received was excellent."

"My Mum had just had a hip operation after a fall and we needed somewhere that offered respite and support while she recovers her physical mobility and confidence. Mortain offers exactly what we were looking for in a culture of warmth, professionalism and exemplary customer service."

"Mum is well cared for at Mortain Place Care Home. In January she lost a lot of weight, picked up by the carers in their regular checks. They now make sure Mum eats her meals and are giving her regular protein shakes. Mum put on half of the lost weight within a week."

"The surroundings are very pleasant, and the building looks impressive from the outside. Security for the residents is high, staff seem to be well trained, and are polite, very helpful and adaptable. Meals are good in quality and surroundings, and the accommodation is very clean and appropriate to the circumstances. Highly recommended."

"I was very apprehensive about sending my mum into a care home at such a young age. How wrong I was! Everyone is so accommodating, not just with my mother but with me also. I am always updated regularly on how she is getting on and have always been made to feel welcome, after all, it is my mother's home now."

"My mum and I greatly appreciate the recent changes in her dedicated memory loss/early dementia care unit. The staff no longer rotate their duties throughout the other specialised areas and can now create a family atmosphere for a maximum of fourteen residents. The difference in my mum's mood, her sociability and her participation is apparent. The staff are able to know her better, she now recognises them and her fellow residents. The extra individual care and the introduction of appropriate stimulating activities have made a huge difference to her daily living "in the moment". I now leave, after my regular visits, full of confidence that my mum's care is of the highest quality and with the knowledge that I will be informed of any deterioration in her health or well-being. This recent month of positive change has greatly reduced my concerns for my much-loved mother."

"I was not looking forward to the day when my mother stayed for respite, but the staff and facilities are amazing. Everyone gives her the time and understanding which makes her feel safe, comfortable and happy, so much so that she is now considering residence full time. Thank you to all the staff for making this a smooth and caring process."

"My father lived at Mortain Place for 16 months through the pandemic until his medical needs meant that he required intensive nursing care. The modern design of the building together with the staff's attitudes and experience helped my father settle in quickly and provided support for me during a very difficult time in our lives."

"The staff are amazing, but there aren't enough staff to deal with the needs of the residents. Entertainment is lacking to keep everyone suitably occupied and many are walking around with not a lot to do. We have repeatedly emailed and don't get any replies from management. Many relatives have mentioned about the outside area upstairs, it was assured that there would be things like bird feeders, plants to tend to and suitable outdoor seating. This hasn't happened, currently chairs with no arms to push up from, hard benches with no cushions and a slippery decking floor don't work well with people with mobility issues. It was mentioned that there would be piped music in the corridors linked to a smart speaker. This has never happened. I can't see how a speaker system (or mobile speaker) linked through the corridors and dining rooms can't be added? The community sports facility across the road are a shining example of what Mortain Place could be like and the home should link with them."

"Mum has been in respite care for two weeks and planning on staying on as she loves it so much. She is treated with great care and respect by all staff members and is always dressed in fresh clean clothes. The level of personal care is of an excellent standard and all of mums needs are taken into account. Carers are always happy to talk to me about mum which is very reassuring for me and the family."

"I stayed at Morton Place for two weeks with my sister who has Alzheimer's Dementia in order to observe and familiarise myself with the care home. Visiting from Australia I needed to be sure that my sister would be in the best possible care available to her. Mortain Place exceeded all of my expectations. Apart from the superior decor, accommodation and 3-course meals I could not fault any aspect of the organisation. As a retired social worker, the most impressive aspect I noted was the care, respect and integrity displayed by all staff members to each and every resident. They all went above and beyond their calling to create a caring, safe and family atmosphere and where possible to help residents extend their physical/mental capacity and wellbeing."

"My stay at Mortain Place was filled with care and support. The staff are lovely and happy to help. My room is wonderful, really cosy with my own outside area for small plant pots, ornaments and bird feeders. The food is good and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. In fact, the whole place is decorated and furnished to a high standard."

"I am a solicitor who advises clients on long term care issues and I am really impressed with Mortain Place, which is a newly commissioned home. The staff are friendly and attentive and there is strong, but kind leadership from the manager. From what I have seen of the residents and their families, it is a friendly, welcoming environment. There is a lot of emphasis on independence as well as inclusive activities for all. The conservatory seems to be a place for people to mingle and make friends over coffee and cake. The food is really high quality and the rooms are roomy and finished to a high standard. I would thoroughly recommend this as a place where one could feel a bit more secure, but not at the expense of your independence."

"The family chose this residential care home for our Mum because it was very well done out with rooms of a good size. Very bright and airy and clean and of a good standard. Most important for us was an activity programme they have am, pm and some evenings. This was one of the main reasons we chose this as this was very important to our Mum to keep her mind stimulated and being kept occupied and joining in. Getting to know other residents and building a group of friends in a homely, caring environment after learning her home."

"There is absolutely nothing bad I can say about the staff and facilities at Mortain Place. The staff are wonderful and will do anything for the residents and guests. The resident's room sare perfect. The grounds are immaculate. We ate in the guest restaurant for my Mother's Birthday and really enjoyed the food and brilliant service. I think all the residents love Mortain Place."

"Stocktaking poor. Ran out of marmalade twice in the first six weeks of my stay. When someone asked for ice cream, they were told they hadn't any and the same with bananas. Chef worked very hard to please. I felt she needed help. Otherwise a lovely place. I was very happy there."

"Mortain Place care home has a warm and friendly atmosphere, a real home from home. The staff are lovely and Mum always knew she had someone around if she needed anything. The food is outstanding, my husband and I enjoyed many meals with Mum. The head of activities does a great job of entertaining the residents and offers a variety of fun activities. Mum's room is lovely, always kept immaculate and Mum has her own garden area outside her room door, which she enjoys placing plants and ornaments in, plus a bird feeder."

"The staff were very helpful from my first enquiry to the day my mother moved into the care home. This wasn't the easiest time as it was at the height of the 'second wave' of the Coronavirus pandemic, however, it was time to move mum, and the transition went very smoothly in the circumstances. The home is new and tastefully furnished. It has a lovely calm atmosphere. On my first visit, I thought it could easily be a hotel. My mother has dementia and I am confident that she is in absolutely the right place now. All the staff are very caring and helpful, and there is a range of stimulating and interesting activities offered to the residents which are very impressive and so important for someone who has dementia."

"The Staff are so important to any business as there on the front line and they are what gives the client/visitor the first impression of the rest home that your family or friends are either staying or visiting. I have been visiting for over a year now and always ask the resident if everything is ok with not only the staff but the food, general cleaning and management of the home and they have always been happy with everything and when I do visit I am impressed with all aspects of the home"

"Dad has been at Mortain Place since February and whilst it took him a few weeks to fully settle in, he has received nothing but kindness, support, respect and care from all of the staff. It feels like one big family and that has been particularly important during the lockdown, where the staff have kept his spirits up, kept him active and made him feel safe and well cared for. Other family members have visited during the socially distanced visits that have now been introduced and have commented on the relaxed and happy atmosphere but with clear care and commitment of the staff. I cannot praise them highly enough for all they do each day for Dad. The home is very well run by a welcoming, approachable and capable hands-on manager and her team and I have no hesitation in recommending them to others as an excellent care home."

"It is difficult for me to assess a new experience and change of lifestyle. All new but coping with the difference. A lot to consider and future to think about. Being well coped with and mostly very good. Staff mostly good but a few lacking in experience. But constantly different as they work only a proportion of the week. I do not know who is responsible for overseeing and monitoring my progress."

"Mum was very lonely in her own home although she did have care. When I suggested that she should consider a care home she wasn't impressed as it created visions of the home her mum went into. After a period of respite in Barchester, she was impressed and open to a move. Since her time in Mortain Place, she looks a different woman and can't praise the care and place enough. I have the problem now that every time I speak to her she says how can I afford a 5-star hotel. Thank you to all at Mortain Place."
