Residential Care
Respite Care

At Morel Court care home in Penarth, we provide residential care for our 36 residents, in modern yet homely, en suite accommodation. It’s a wonderfully calm and welcoming space, with a real community atmosphere.

We have a mix of room types, including some with a full en suite wet room and others with an en suite toilet and sink. Some rooms enjoy lovely garden views and there’s Wi-Fi throughout the home.

The home underwent a £270,000 refurbishment in 2018 and provides a modern feel to this purpose-built red brick property, which was first opened as a care home in 1975. Morel Court was built on land given to MHA by Dr John Gibbs (whose mother's maiden name was Morel) and his wife.

Respite care at Morel Court

Respite care, also known as short-term or short-stay care, is a temporary living arrangement at a care home. It gives both carers, and those being cared for, a bit of time off and a chance to recharge their batteries.

At Morel Court, we offer residential respite care. Everyone staying with us for a respite break will receive personalised care, tailored to their individual needs. They’ll have their own furnished room and be encouraged to take part in the life of our home and the many activities on offer.

Where are we?

We are situated in landscaped grounds, within a short distance from the seafront and one mile south west of Penarth town centre.

Chaplaincy and pastoral support

Morel Court is proud to be supported by a dedicated Chaplain who offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs. Our chaplain provides a listening presence, companionship and one-to-one pastoral support for all residents, their friends and relatives, and staff members - irrespective of their beliefs - and organise worship for those who wish to participate. Where appropriate, residents are encouraged to maintain links with local faith communities.

Activities, trips and events

We support everybody’s individual choices, interests and hobbies and our passionate Activity Coordinators love keeping residents active and entertained. They provide a fun-packed and stimulating schedule for people to participate in as they choose.

There’s our choir, armchair exercise sessions, baking, flower arranging, arts and crafts, quizzes, bingo, external entertainers and church services, just to mention a few of the things we get up to.

Seize the day - unique and memorable opportunities
