When choosing a care home for my elderly mum, I was unimpressed by the many that I visited. However, Margaret House clearly stood head and shoulders above all others in the area. The reason is that all staff, whether carers, administrators, managers, or housekeepers, are committed to the care and welfare of all residents. Every interaction in the past year has been positive. I am delighted that we chose Margaret House, and my mum is very happy living there.
Thank you so much for this review which we have shared with all the team. We really appreciate your comments and are very glad that you feel your mum is happy here, that means a lot to us all.
I've been very impressed with the level of genuine care and concern for my mother-in-law. It's reassuring to know that she is so well looked after and treated with dignity. I feel the staff have really made an effort to know her well as a person and cater to her personal needs.

Margaret House gave a home to my 91-year-old mother-in-law for the final weeks of her life early in 2025. She had severe dementia and was bed-bound with numerous physical problems. She needed constant total care, which the staff at Margaret House provided to an exemplary standard with great patience, compassion and skill. I say this as a former nurse and would recommend Margaret House to anyone needing to find excellent care for an elderly friend or relative. It may not be a new-build "luxury" care home, but Margaret House's ethos, care standards and staff are second to none. My father-in-law is now a resident himself and is happy and thriving in this lovely and supportive home.
We are so pleased that you were happy with the care provided to your mother-in-law. Your father-in-law has certainly become part of the 'family' since coming to live at Margaret House! Thank you so much for your kind words which we will share with the team.
I am very happy her for over 2 years.

My mother has been at Margaret House for six months and the whole experience has been excellent. The accommodation and staff are brilliant, it is a lovely place to live. We chose the home because of the family atmosphere that radiates from staff and residents. The social calendar is full of events and activities that Mum joins in with and she is having a new lease on life. The visiting system is great with no appointments required. We can just visit whenever passing. We are delighted and would highly recommend it.
We are so glad that Mum enjoys our range of activities and she has certainly become part of the 'family' since coming to live at Margaret House! Thank you very much for taking the time to submit this review it is appreciated by us all.
The care received by Mum at Margaret House has been exceptional. It is an outstanding care home with amazing staff and management who always go the extra mile to help both residents and their relatives. Mum is very happy here and I cannot recommend this home enough.

Margaret House was our only selected care facility for my mother-in-law. From our very first visit, we were welcomed by guests and staff. We were impressed by the overall family atmosphere which was the basis of the home. Facilities are excellent, the house itself being set in beautiful manicured grounds.
