Today I was recommended to visit Martin's House by a friend. It turned out to be their Summer fare. I was very impressed on the home & the standard of care given to all the residents who appeared to be very Happy & well cared for. Thank you to everyone concerned for making the afternoon a success

Mum moved to the home in early 2023. The staff were so understanding and patient, and we soon had the 'old mum' back for a while. She wasn't the easiest of residents; her strong will and wry humour were understood too. When the end came in late 2025, the end-of-life care was the best we could have wished for. All of the staff were so professional and caring. All her family will be forever grateful for the care Mum received in those last couple of weeks. Thank you, Martins House and all the staff!

My husband stayed at Martins House for the first time two years ago. This is his second respite there. Sadly, he has deteriorated a great deal with Alzheimer's, but all the staff have been so kind to him. I would especially like to mention JoAnne, who has been so helpful and also carers Gary and Ash. Plus a mention to Traci, the tea trolley lady. Thank you to you all.

I was visiting a very good friend staying on respite who sadly has alzeimers and constantly paces - initially it was a stranger environment and from what I saw the staff were all excellent its a very challenging job and I too have had experience of it. As human beings it affects staff probably emotionally. Its mentally very tiring 5 * for Martins House. Clean lovely caring environment. The establishment is very well run.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your view of our home. Best wishes, Julie
The care home have looked after my stepdad for four years and during this period I cannot fault the care they have given him. He has been well looked after from day one and always treated with great fondness.

Martins House is a special place for genuine care and concern. My husband has been very well looked after since day one. I couldn't feel happier than he's in their care. Every member of staff is involved in one way or another and treat my husband with we and care. Thank you.

The staff were very helpful to me on arrival, whilst there and on leaving, The resident I visited also spoke fondly of the care and attention she receives. I stood on the alarm mat by accident and also asked for a coffee, both events were dealt with swiftly, courteously and with a smile.

Mum was looked after throughout her stay until her peaceful end in December. The staff at Martins House were warm, attentive, kind, caring and genuine. Acting promptly when Mum's condition changed, always kept us up to date, asked for medical intervention and accompanied hospital appointments, arranged meaningful activities, outings and celebrations in an active way. Always encouraged Mum and respected her wishes. We knew she was safe and well-loved. Thank you all.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it was our pleasure to care for your Mum. With warmest regards, Julie

I could not have been more worried about my mother going into respite care as she was battling dementia but what I found when I arrived was truly wonderful. My mum has now become a resident due in no small part to the kind caring staff. They had so much time for me, my brother and my mum and the positive way in which the treated my mum was so heartwarming. At a time when all you do is worry, they have taken all our stress away knowing how well cared for she is. We cannot thank them enough.
