Why choose Moorlands?

Moorlands was originally a large Edwardian family home and now provides the highest standards of residential, nursing and palliative care in an environment that retains a real home from home feel. Our residents’ bedrooms and all communal areas are finished to a very high standard.

This attention to detail is replicated in our care provision at Moorlands. We have an excellent local reputation for care and maintain strong links with our local community.

Visiting us

At Moorlands we operate an open visiting policy, where residents and loved ones may visit at the times that are most convenient for them.

Accreditation

As the Home Manager at Moorlands, I have a qualified nursing background and lead my dedicated Care Team in providing the highest standards of person-centred care.

Our home is fully registered with the Care Quality Commission, with both ISO9001/2000 and Hospitality Assured accreditation.

Care types

Residential care offers housing for those living independently who wish to reside in an environment with other people as companions and friends. Support is on hand if required, but personal care is not a constant need.
Nursing care means that qualified nurses are on hand to prescribe medication and offer support and assistance as required for individual care needs, which are more personal in nature.

Length of stay

Accommodation with appropriate levels of care support based on a person’s physical and emotional needs. Rooms may be fully decorated by the resident with some small furniture items brought in to personalise the room.
Temporary accommodation with appropriate levels of care support based on a person’s physical and emotional needs. Duration ranges from one week to several months, whereby the resident intends to return home.
A day of engagement with fellow day care visitors and residents. Food, drink, personal care, bathing, events, day trips, hairdressing, and sociable activities are generally on offer.
