Mornington Court Achieves Platinum: The Highest Standard in Dementia Care
Mornington Court, part of Cinnamon Care Collection, has been awarded 3-Star Platinum Accreditation through the National Dementia Care Accreditation Scheme. This is the highest level of recognition available through NaDCAS, and one reached by very few care providers across the UK.
A Recognition of Exceptional Dementia Care
Platinum Accreditation recognises homes that demonstrate excellence across every aspect of dementia care, from leadership and culture to environment, emotional connection, and meaningful engagement.
At Mornington Court, this accreditation reflects the daily work of an entire team - every member of staff, every shift, every interaction - all directed toward creating a place where people living with dementia feel genuinely at home. With every Cinnamon Care Collection home now working toward accreditation, Mornington Court's achievement also signals something broader: a group-wide commitment to person-centred dementia care that doesn't vary by location.
Above all, this recognition is a celebration of the people behind the care – and the culture they have built together.
Dedication to the NaDCAS Framework
Mornington Court's Platinum Accreditation reflects how thoroughly the NaDCAS framework has been woven into the home's everyday practice. The team has shown how the framework goes beyond just structuring a process to shape a culture, inform relationships, and raise the quality of every resident's experience.
Built around nine evidence-based focus areas that shape quality of life and wellbeing, the framework supports care providers in delivering compassionate, consistent, and high-quality dementia care across every aspect of the resident experience.
Caring From the Heart
What you notice first in homes that achieve Platinum status isn't a policy or a procedure, but a feeling. At Mornington Court, that feeling is one of genuine warmth: staff who know residents as individuals, routines that are built around people rather than rotas, and a confidence that comes from a team that truly knows what good care looks like.
“This is a wonderful achievement for all our teams at Mornington Court and one we are immensely proud of. It celebrates the positive environment and the high quality of life enjoyed by our residents, truly making it a home from home.”
- Gemma Ridout-Bowen, Senior General Manager, Mornington Court
The Impact of Accreditation
Accreditation creates meaningful impact across the whole care community - supporting residents, strengthening teams, reassuring families and regulators, and recognising excellence.
