History, buildings and grounds

Designed by Edward Lutyens at the turn of the century, Moorhouse stands in 2 acres of delightful grounds comprising lawns, flower-beds and shrub borcders. Situated at 800 feet above sea level, this dual-registered home affords splendid views across the Golden Valley and other National Trust land to the south and west.

Staff and care

Moorhouse has been owned and run for 20 years by the Shepherd family, who consistently endeavour to provide a tranquil and homely environment where residents may maintain as much independence of mind and spirit as their condition will allow. The highest standards of medical and nursing care are administered under the direct supervision of Barbara Chapman RGN, who is ably assisted by a team of professionals. Physiotherapy and chiropody are available as required, while a variety of related services can be arranged.

Catering

Particular care is taken in the preparation of food to meet not only individual requirements but also any diabetic, vegetarian or other special dietary needs. Residents are welcome to invite their guests to coffee, lunch or tea and drinks are served at the private bar.
