Care Homes Owned by Barchester Healthcare Ltd in Greater Manchester

Mum is being looked after in Arbour Court since February 2026. We are very very pleased with the care home and with the staff on the ground floor especially. Under challenging circumstances, they somehow manage to stay professional, but with smiles on their faces. They aim to be polite, professional & encourage residents to participate in singalongs and activities. The family are very pleased especially with Ludi & Rowenna.

I think the care my aunt has received has been excellent. She is now happier and more mobile than she was when she arrived. Thank you to everyone for all your care and support.

A very caring and friendly environment. The staff take great care to meet the residents needs,

Thank you for also looking after us as a family

Mum came to Marple Dale for end of life care and we as a family cannot thank the staff or praise them enough for the exemplary care Mum received. Her care & management of her medical needs were above & beyond, she was treated with the greatest care & dignity. We were also looked after & greatly supported by all the staff. We will be eternally grateful for the way Mum was looked after. P.S thank you for feeding us!!!

All the team are friendly, supportive and nothing was ever too much to ask for. I can never thank everyone enough for all they did for my dad whilst he lived there. My dad unfortunately passed away 7th April in the early hours with us at his side.

We were so impressed with the level of care provided by everyone in the team. Choosing appropriate care for an elderly parent is a daunting experience and we have learnt that sometimes you need to look beyond the quality care commission ratings because quite frankly the passion and love that the team provided for our Mum was over and above. We highly recommend Arbour Court for nursing care for an elderly parent.

I would like to thank the staff of Marple dale care home for their huge kindness & help on the occasion of my mothers 105th Birthday. They provided fabulous balloons, chocolates, cards etc. which helped make her day special. I am very grateful for the attention they give her.

The food is adequate to good with a nice supply of drinks and cakes available to everyone. Some crockery needs attention due to cracks and chips!

Unfortunately my dad ending up going in very poorly from home , not what we had planned but all I can say it was such the right decision for us and for dad , the care was absolutely amazing for him for me x my family right through to the end , without any hesitation I would 100 percent recommend Arbour court , thank you so much for everything you have done for us x

Staff very professional at both care and management level. Accommodation modern, clean and well looked after. Food very good with excellent variation. Generally thoughtful and caring staff who have helped mum settle into her new environment here at Arbour Court. Our family are so pleased with our choice of Arbour Court to look after Mum.

My mother was taken into Marple Dale at very short notice following a hospital visit. The staff were very helpful in all the arrangements and put us all at ease. The room and care is excellent and all rooms are very clean and tidy. The arrangements for visiting is very easy. All the staff give you time and updates on my mothers wellbeing.

Arbour Court is a warm and welcoming place. Mum has sadly passed away now, but I can't thank Lisa and the rest of the team enough for the outstanding work they do.

It is very early day (only in residence for 4 days so far) and John has not settled in very happily. He wants to be at home and feels no restraint against shouting about his plight. It has been very stressful visiting him but I have tried to be calm but firm. I would welcome more advice/support from the care/nursing/staff on how to deal with his rage and agression. They will be much more experienced than I am and could help me to learn what to do. But I - and he - will soldier on and I am confident that in such a good environment things will get better.

My mom was in here for two weeks as we needed emergency care, the world was promised when I came to visit but none was given when we agreed to come and stay. We were told that a certain room was available and then when we turned up it was no longer which seems strange considering it was only couple of days before we turned up. The cost also changed when we got there and suddenly become more expensive. The care that we received in the first week was great but then one of the caring nurses Nancy went on holiday and it all changed. My mom was left unattended and sadly had a fall which resulted in a trip to hospital which for a dementia patient is confusing and extremely traumatic. I wish I could add the pictures of the mess that the fall had caused. We stipulated that my mom had to be on a low fat diet and the food that was given was far from low fat. Clothes went missing as well as her cushion from her wheelchair, this was eventually found a week after she had left. Run out of space!!

My mum unexpectedly had to go into a care home and was transferred to one under a D2A. With no experience of care homes, I thought it was "normal" but was devastated every time I visited and left her there. I decided to look elsewhere and came across Arbour Court. From my first visit, I was blown away. Every single staff member is fantastic, and it is more like a hotel than a care home. I visited mum multiple times daily, and loved just being there, and she was really flourishing in the environment too. The activities are amazing and the staff are so attentive and thoughtful, I could not have asked for more. Unfortunately my mum passed away soon after moving to Arbour Court following a short illness (which the nurses picked up on immediately), and I am deeply regretful that my mum did not get to stay longer here. If you are looking for a nursing home for your loved one, I couldn't recommend Arbour Court enough - I would have moved in myself!

Mum has been there for 3 weeks now & a special effort had been made to accomodate her in a room with a garden view with very calming decoration in the room. Moving her in was seamless. The care she has received has been excellent & she is settling in well & showing and interest in the many activities they have.

The entire staff at Arbour Court are, without exception, brilliant, caring, professional, always cheerful and above all compassionate. They treat my husband with respect at all times and ensure he still has his dignity. The general manager and finance manager have been nothing but helpful. Although the fees are high, the home is good value for money because it gives the family peace of mind that our loved one is receiving the best of care. I cannot fault the home in any way. I would thoroughly recommend Arbour Court to anyone looking for a care home for a loved one.

When my wife needed end-of-life treatment, my daughter and I visited Arbour Court. We were so impressed! The building was bright and clean and the staff warm and friendly. When my wife moved in, her room was nicely decorated, with good lighting and little touches, like photo frames provided. During all my visits over 5 weeks, I never saw residents treated with anything other than compassion and respect. My wife's team of carers were so caring and good-humoured, forming a lovely, even affectionate relationship with her and the family. A wonderful team of medical staff monitored her condition regularly and she received effective medication to control pain and distress. Her family and friends were also very well looked after; we could not have asked for better.
