"My friend moved into Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre in Horley last year. When I went to see her she had nothing but praise for the staff and home. She is extremely happy living in and joins in every activity that is on offer. She looks well and happy and next year will be her 100th birthday, It is so good to see a lovely lady like her still enjoying life to the full."

"A big thank you to everyone at Moreton Hill. My dad is a recent resident admission with advanced dementia. We were made very welcome at short notice by the manager and staff. Dad is already settling in and receiving excellent care - he is 93. Minor observations are around the online visit booking system, which is very limited. The home is very accommodating with out of service visits, but the current policy of daytime week visits is not helpful for those of us in full-time work."

"We had been searching for a care home for my mum in vain until we drove up to Moreton Hill and realised that what we had hoped to find did really exist after all. Set in a beautiful location with superb buildings and grounds, the physical environment was only matched by the exceptional staff that we met. They are warm, caring and highly professional, and Mum loves them dearly. Their kindness and dedication have kept Mum safe and happy during these difficult times - and they have the heartfelt gratitude of Mum and all her family."

"Our Aunt was at Moreton Hill Care Centre for only a few weeks. During that time all staff did everything they could to make a difficult move for an elderly lady, who was daily becoming more frail, as welcoming and comfortable as possible. The management, nursing and care were excellent and professional. Communications from the home were regular and relevant. They were happy to spend time answering any concerns or questions. Our apprehensions about a new environment were erased. Our Aunt sadly passed away but was treated with the utmost care, dignity and thoughtfulness. Our undertaker commented on the care. Many, many thanks for your care and kindness."

"The wonderful positioning and surrounding views create an atmosphere of well-being and ease when entering. The thought given to receiving refreshment and a friendly greeting from the lady receptionist is so considerate and kindly received. Being taken to your family room and to each other's needs and questions happily done. The provision of quiet rooms, central and other outside rest areas, games, hobbies, reading, writing and personal care are wonderful. Finally, the personal care and attention to every individual resident by each member of staff can only be admired and loved. I was reluctant to leave."

"Thank you to this beautiful care home. This is a beautiful home. The staff are dedicated and look after their clients with special care. It takes so much stress away from family knowing that their loved one is cared for so well. I cannot praise all of the staff enough for the way they cared and looked after my nephew the way they did, he was so happy with the care he had, allowing his mother and father to relax and worry less about his care."

"My mother was admitted to Moreton Hill Care Centre in March 2020, just before the Covid Pandemic lockdown. Despite this, I have had nothing but help, reassurance and support from the management and staff whenever I have needed it. My mother has had wonderful and safe care both for her mental and physical needs. Since she has made Moreton Hill her home it has been such a comfort to me that she always has caring. well trained and loving staff looking after her."

Michael Gcarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"My mother was a resident at Moreton Hill from June 2019 until she sadly passed away in August 2020. My mother very much enjoyed living at the home. Staff welcomed her warmly and she was soon involved in the activities, the activities coordinator was wonderful and worked out my mother's personality quickly and found activities that would suit her, she particularly liked poetry reading and flower arranging. My mother had vascular dementia and she was looked after appropriately and encouraged to participate as much as possible in the daily life of the home, she was in a wonderful bedroom with views overlooking the surrounding countryside. She enjoyed dining in the dining room and going on the odd excursion outside of the home. Staff at the home are genuinely interested in the residents, without exception, I found them caring and friendly often doing over and above their duty; they encouraged feedback and ways to improve. Everyone was respectful towards my mother and empathetic of her needs."

Louise Pcarehome.co.uk rating: 5 out of 5

"An elderly church friend of mine had the urgent need of care after discharge from hospital and Moreton Hill has been fantastic in stepping into the breach, taking him in and caring for him until he recovered enough to return home. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were warm and supportive, and it was a huge relief to know this dear friend was safe in these challenging times at the height of the Covid pandemic. Thank you especially, to the lovely manager for going the extra mile."

"I received a very warm welcome by the Manager, which made me feel very much at home. My friend, who has dementia, is very well cared for by the staff in "the attic" who treated her with warmth, respect and dignity. Her appearance and clothes, which were colour coordinated, showed sensitivity. The "Attic" was homely and staff attentive."

Initially as respite care for radiotherapy treatment for cancer and the palliative care until he passed away at the end of October 2019. I was impressed at all stages of his stay by the professionalism, compassion and attention to detail of all staff. Nursing staff were amazing.

I find it rather difficult to say anymore other than I have enjoyed my stay and feel 100% better for my stay."

"Moreton Hill is a very nice care home situated in wonderful surroundings. There have been many staff changes recently and staff morale generally seems a little low although I don't know the reason for that. However, my mother is well cared for although staff numbers are low. My only criticism would be that alarm bells are responded to slowly. My mother had a fall recently and we were pleased with the care she receives."

"I feel the care for my Dad has been good. The staff are excellent but could do with more support. The extreme weather hasn't helped and the staff should be comfortable in their staff clothes to give great care. There could be more air conditioning on the top floor. Also, activities should be looked at either with having 3 staff at all times or activity staff just doing activity stuff, so more one on ones are possible. The residents care is key, so keeping the staff happy helps so they don't feel like leaving their profession."

"I visited several care homes before choosing Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre for my mother. I was immediately struck by the care homes caring staff at all levels. The atmosphere is relaxed, spacious, beautifully enhanced with positive energy not only from the staff but the residents. My mother who's always feared a residential home was animated with joy at seeing it and all the facilities it would be providing for her new needs. On returning from a few days holiday, I returned to visit her and was greeted by an extremely happy and contented mother. This is thanks to excellent nursing skills, amazing tasty meals, activity choices and security of a loving care home. She's a new woman and now wants to live as long as possible to relish her new life at Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre. Such joy."

The patience of care staff in encouraging me to eat and drink and exercise has been second to none. They have accommodated my requests for tea at all hours, especially 5 am. I have enjoyed the food a lot, although I only have a small appetite, and have tried some new dishes. Well recommended."

"My mum lived at Morton Hill for almost 19 years and my dad spent the last one and a half years of his life here too. The staff are excellent and some of the most friendliest and welcoming people you could wish to meet. They became our second family and several staff have watched my daughters grow up over the past 19 years. All staff even when they are at their busiest have time to say hello and have a quick chat. They showed a lot of compassion and care and for that we know Mum was very grateful. The staff were emotionally there to help her through the loss of her husband. Morton Hill became a part of her family and we will miss seeing all the staff every week that have cared for both my mum and dad. I cannot fault anything that the staff at Morton Hill have done for the past 19 years and I will be eternally grateful to them."

"The strength of any home lies in its staff and the staff at Moreton Hill Care Centre are excellent. They are compassionate and supportive. They are knowledgeable and approachable and they always did what they could to make our mother's life as comfortable as possible. I felt confident in the knowledge that she was being well looked after. Furthermore, she was able to strike up bonds of friendship with some staff hence easing the loneliness of her days. It is a great pity that you saw fit to wast vital money on unnecessary garish, plastic refurbishments totally out of character with a Tudor farmhouse (which Moreton Hill was originally) instead of employing more staff to lighten the workload. With regard to management, I am unable to assess it since over the six years it has ranged from excellent to satisfactory. Happily, it now seems to be on track."

"The most fantastic homes belong to Barchester, in which Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre is one. Making the decision to put my grandmother in a residential home was one of the hardest I've made to date, however, I am certain that the care and compassion received at Barchester Moreton Hill Care Centre have enabled me to feel comfortably happy with the move.

"This was our 96 year old dad's 1st experience of respite - so we visited many care homes to get it right 1st time - and we most certainly did. Initially, we were struck with the views and old-world atmosphere; so we knew dad would settle, opposed to the modern clinical feel of many others. Immediately we saw how well the staff interact with both the residents and each other. This was much to our surprise, as dad was reluctant to leave his bungalow whilst a new bathroom was fitted, He absolutely loved his 4 week stay and was sad to say goodbye. He is used to continual company at home and thus enjoyed meeting new friends and participating in the different activities and eating home cooking. The staff were amazing, tailoring to his specific needs and encouraged him with kindness and humour, even though he is a very strong character and independent. He quickly viewed them as good friends. He lost one arm in the war and for the last 6 years has progressively suffered from Alzheimers. We have no qualms now about any future visits and highly recommend Moreton Hill."

"In April 2016 my mother needed assisted living after having a fall where she broke her hip and recently being diagnosed with liver cancer. We chose Moreton Hill - after doing our own research - as it came out on top on all points of care we needed for her. From day 1 she was treated with dignity as well as friendliness from all ranks of staff. She loved them and this helped her settle in. Visitors to her were welcomed and it became more of a 'large family' than separate units. Visiting mum almost every day of the 8 months, my husband and I soon developed rapport with the staff and any problems with mum's care were soon sorted. Moreton Hill has 'soul' and this only comes from the staff. Visitors are offered cups of tea and biscuits/cake which they appreciate. When mum passed away on Christmas Eve, we were treated with dignity and affection - yes, affection. The staff were sad at mum's passing but pleased to have helped."

My mother was a resident of Moreton Hill since 2008. For the past few years of her stay she was a resident of the Severn View Dementia Unit. Sadly she has passed away. Her stay at the above unit was a happy one. Prior to her moving there, her condition had worsened to the extent that she was unhappy and confused in the general section of the home, but once she was settled in this unit, she became more content and less anxious. Her last months of her life were difficult as she had both heart and chest problems which cause breathing difficulties and it was pneumonia which attributed to her death. The reason I am writing to you is to praise the care my mother was given in this unit. ALL the staff were good to her and in her final days the care was exemplary. My sister arrived from Australia and she and I sat with her on and off through her final weekend. The day and night staff were superb and looked after her and us very well. The trained staff who were on duty upstairs, were also quick to administer medication that made my mother more comfortable. One person I would like to single out is Tina, the nurse in charge of Severn View. My mother died at 10pm and Tina was due to go home at 8pm. She stayed with us in my mother's final hours, giving support and care to us all.

 I am just writing with a huge thank you to you all for the way you looked after Mum whilst she was in your care. Mum enjoyed being at Moreton Hill. She liked her room, loved the courtyard in the summer, took part in activities and really liked the food! Most importantly she often spoke of your kindnesses and the high standard of care you gave her. I would also like to thank you all for looking after me, particularly in the difficult weeks before Mum passed away. I was very touched by the amount of time you spent with Mum, you professionalism, hard work and by the care you gave her.  I will definitely be back to Moreton Hill and hope to see you soon.
