Reviews for Mortain Place Care Home

"After falling and given the deterioration of her physical (and slight mental) health meant living in a warden-controlled property with no on-site care was proving impractical. After an initial 30 days respite here following 2 weeks in the local hospital, she asked to remain and her physical health has improved tremendously. After 18 months of restricted mobility due to wheelchair use, now 3 months later, she is using a walker and is much more active. She has a greatly improved social life, new interests and there has been no decline in her mental faculties."

"My mum came for a respite break and is now staying on as a permanent resident. All the way through the process of choosing a home to settling in all the staff were very helpful, kind and professional. She likes her room with a view of birds and squirrels in the gardens and seems to have taken to 'armchair tennis'."

"My mother moved into Barchester Mortain Place in October of 2023. When we first walked into the home to view it, I was amazed at how the atmosphere felt. It had a great feeling of warmth and love. All the carers and staff are first class, they always have a smile and a friendly greeting. I feel that my mum is in a safe place where she is looked after but more than that she is genuinely cared for. There is always something going on and the entertainment team is second to none. I cannot speak highly enough of the team, the food, the quality of the care and the cleanliness of all public and private rooms Whenever I bring anyone to visit Mum, they are all of the same opinion. Over Christmas, there was so much fun and laughter. The presents that all the residents received were picked with care and suitability. I believe that we are very fortunate in our decision with Mortain Place and I love to see the smile on my mum's face when I come to visit."

"Helping a client get settled into Mortain Place. Staff were friendly, accommodating, patient and understanding. I spoke to a resident's daughter who visited regularly, she had nothing but praise for everyone who worked there. The enrichment staff actually brought in a bouncy castle, which I couldn't believe! They loved it, then invited some of the staff's small relatives to make the most of it, which I thought was a lovely touch."

"I was pleasantly surprised by Barchester Mortain Place Care Home. I came to visit my aunt from Lincolnshire and was offered lunch, which was delicious. Three courses, fantastic. The home was clean and jolly with word games being played in the bistro area."

"My sister had a reunion party for twelve friends and the home could not have been more accommodating. From the manager down to the kitchen staff and all attending staff were extremely welcoming to her guests. We had coffee served in a separate room so we did not upset the other residents. The lunch was beautifully served, the table linen immaculate, with fresh flowers on the table. Absolute full marks to everyone for making all concerned, visitors and family feel they were special."

"I have just attended a lunch party given by my aunt, a resident, for 10 friends, and 3 associated carers. The event was excellent and very much appreciated by everyone there, and especially by my aunt. All of the staff involved participated in the organisation and running of the event with a high degree of enthusiasm and went out of their way to make the event very special, including the organisation of a visit from people they knew from outside who were relevant to the event. That was an incredibly thoughtful touch. Throughout the whole event, staff dropped in to say hello to the visitors and they managed very well and with very good humour last-minute changes in numbers and arrangements. The 'outside world' was brought into Barchester Mortain Place Care Homeand my aunt was able to host an event just as she would have previously in her own house. Thank you very much."

"The care home is friendly and welcoming and the decor and rooms are excellent, more like a hotel than a home. The photographs in the corridor make it seem welcoming, more like a home from home, this is helpful for residents who have had to leave their own homes and make the change to live somewhere different for whatever reason."

"From being unable to get in or out of bed when I arrived, thanks to the care and attention of the nurses, I can now get in and out of bed, walk around the room, sometimes without a Zimmer, clean my teeth, shave and change my clothes. I can now walk to the dining room to join my wife for lunch. Breakfast and dinner are always delivered to me and I am never rushed to finish my meals."

"Mortain Place has been a godsend to myself and my brother for my mother's care. It is an extremely special place, with wonderful staff, gorgeous layout/rooms, lovely food and multiple activities. Never once in her entire time staying with Mortain have either my brother or myself been in any way worried or concerned with her care. I have visited the home at all times of the day and evening, from Monday through to Sunday and never seen anything other than happy and relaxed residents. The staff are always on hand and whenever there have been difficulties with my mother's mood, the higher level of close monitoring has been great. The staff go over and beyond, preempting any potential issues. There is also very close cooperation with the nearby doctor's surgery for medical issues. Thank you so so much to all the wonderful staff."

"It is with a sad heart that my sister and I have to move our father to nursing care, from Mortain Place. He has been there for the last 19 months and calls it 'home'. He has been extremely well looked after by all of the wonderful staff there. Myself as a constant visitor to the care home, I have always been made to feel welcome, and there is always someone there to talk to about Dad. A big warm thank you to everyone, especially the senior staff."

"My father has been in Mortain for 19 months and from the start was made to feel very welcome and at home. The staff all went out of their way to ease him into his new way of life in a care home. He had recently been bereaved. I’ve never had any cause for concern over his health or well-being. His room is nice, comfortable and spotlessly clean. His sometimes fussy meal requirements, and constant need for 'a cuppa’ are cheerfully fulfilled. The staff, in particular the senior carers, are all very kind and personable. They treat my father as an individual, not just as one of the collective residents. His wishes are respected, and his dignity is maintained. My queries have always been dealt with effectively and efficiently, and the manager is generally always available. It is with sadness that we’ve got to move my father to a nursing home. My sister and I, as well as our dad, are sorry to say goodbye to the care team at Mortain and I thank you all for taking such kind care of him."

I'm glad to say that Dad is now enjoying life again after a few years of struggling on his own in his own home."

"My mum went to Mortain Place in early January for some respite following an illness over Christmas. Soon after her arrival, it became clearer that she was very unwell and in fact, had terminal cancer that was only diagnosed while she was there. We are a large family of medics and Mum was a retired nurse, so we recognise good care when we see it. We had not expected Mum to need end-of-life care there but faced with this diagnosis, the team at Mortain Place said they would look after her until she died. I cannot thank the team there enough for the support they gave Mum. Everyone was incredibly kind and Mum was looked after with dignity, laughter and kindness throughout. We are a large family and Mum had lots of friends, all of whom wanted to see her. This was all made possible by the team and nothing was too much bother. Thank you all for looking after Mum and us. We will never forget your kindness. Barchester, please look after those staff, as the home is nothing without them."

"My aunt has been a resident at Mortain Place over the last 2 months, as respite following a fall at home. From my first phone call, the staff and management team have been very responsive and my aunt has received great care and attention, giving me complete peace of mind. Any queries or concerns I had were dealt with quickly. The staff have been excellent helping my aunt with personal care, while she had a broken wrist. She was always in great spirits whenever I visited and was always up and dressed. She has enjoyed the food and has had chiropody care and a haircut whilst being a resident. I'm very grateful indeed for the care and attention my aunt has received and would certainly recommend Mortain Place."

"My mother has been both a respite and now a dementia resident and during all of her stay we found the staff both caring and attentive. Mum took her time to settle in and presented a challenge to the staff. This challenge was met with professionalism and a high level of support. As a family, we have absolutely no regrets in selecting this establishment. Indeed, we have nothing but the highest praise for all of the staff from management to housekeeping."

"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."

"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."

She continually pressed her call button to be helped to the toilet (as she can't walk) and after 1 and 1/4 hours she wet herself as no one came. I found this level of care totally unsatisfactory and distressing for my sister. There seemed to be a total shortage of staff.

"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."

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."

"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."

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."

"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."

Her room is beautiful and the food is first class. Mortain Place gives me peace of mind that my Mum is safe and cared for. I wouldn't want her anywhere else."

"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."

"An amazing care home with things for residents to do. It is run so well with all the resident's needs met. Cleanliness of the home and security is second to none. There is always a warm welcome for the resident's family too, with lovely lounges to spend quality time with your loved one."

"When I visited Mortain Place on the first open day I was impressed by the sneeze of space and light, the decor and the staff. Since my friend has taken up residence I have had no cause to review those first impressions except that I have found the staff to be exceptional beyond the call of duty and care. Today I had lunch in the dining room. The food, its presentation and the care and courtesy of those serving were exceptional and could teach many a restaurant a lesson."
