Martins House

My Mum went into Martins House for a 21-day assessment following a number of falls and spending the best part of 3 months in hospital. The staff have been amazing, not only to my Mum but me too and I have had many a day when I struggled to cope in recent months but thankfully I can now rest easy knowing my Mum is safe, warm and loved when I'm not around to give her that reassuring hug when she needs it and I can sleep easy at night which I didn't most of last year. I also want to say a big thank you to one of the ladies who sadly isn't at Martins House now but without her strength and support, I don't know where my Mum and I would be right now probably back in Lister or worse. I will be forever thankful for that lady.

My 87-year-old dad lived at Martins House for over a year until he passed away in April this year. His mental and physical health had declined when he was living at home alone previously and he struggled with eating. At Martins House, his health improved dramatically as the key workers helped him recover. He put on weight and came out of his shell, interacting with the other residents. The staff were truly amazing and extremely kind. He received excellent care and the cheerful atmosphere did him a world of good. He enjoyed dancing at one of the parties. I will never forget the staff who tirelessly cared for him and I recommend Martins House to anyone looking for care for their relative.

Wonderful care for my elderly mother. She feels very happy there and no longer talks about going home. The carers are so attentive.

Well done Martins House. Our father has been given the best care and treatment we could have wished for and is going to return home with a better mental and physical health. Cannot recommend more highly and thanks with much respect and gratitude.

My elderly father was transferred from hospital to Martins House for assessment on living independently. I was apprehensive but quickly realised what a wonderful set up there was at Martins House. The warm welcome my father and entire family received right from the start. The facilities and exceptional staff gave us a good level of comfort. My father's recovery and improvement has been beyond our wildest hopes. Martins House has provided us all hope now that my father can return home safely. I would fully recommend.

My father was admitted to Martins House at the beginning of January 2019 after being in and out of the hospital for 7 weeks. He was in a very confused state and showing first signs of dementia and the care of the staff has been outstanding and my father is a different man, yes still a little confused at times but he has come a long way with the help of Martins House.

My mother has improved considerably since being a resident. For example, from being wheelchair bound she now walks with a frame. All down to the time, support and encouragement of the staff.

Staff friendly, supportive, caring and very respectful. Home environment very positive and stimulating. Considering that our mum said she would never go into a care home the fact that she is so happy here is testament to the care provided by all the staff. Thank you!

What a breath of fresh air Martins House was for my late mother in law and indeed all her family. We moved my late mother in law from another care home which to my mother in law and her family felt oppressive. Martins House was the absolute opposite. My mother in law had an armchair we bought for her in her room and also a television. She was able to come and go to and from her room as often as she wanted. Her whole demeanour changed within a week of being there. She even got a boy friend - which shows it is never too late. We visited her regularly and were always met with smiling faces from both residents and staff. I truly cannot recommend Martins House highly enough for making the end of my mother in law's life so comfortable, safe and happy. If I need to go into a care home this is the one for me.

As her daughter, I cannot thank the staff enough for everything they did to make mum's stay so comfortable. Thank you all so much.

Recently great effort has gone into making Martins House feel even more of a home.

This residential home was used as respite for my mother on leaving hospital. We were very impressed with the caring staff. They were very polite. The caring for my mother was exceptional. They treated her with dignity at all times. I would like to mention everyone's name but so many to put down but special thanks to the two carers for looking after my mum, I will not forget what you have done.

Since moving into Martins House, mum has really turned a corner - she is so much happier and settled than she was in her last few months at home. Mum is well looked after and Martins House is such a happy place to visit. All the staff are lovely and welcoming and it is a pleasure to visit mum here in her new home. Keep up the good work!

I fully appreciate the hard work and commitment by staff.

A very good start for what we as a family hope will be long term situation.

Laundry and bedding were dealt with immediately, no resident ignored, food and drink frequently offered.

My aunt was a resident for 14 years and my father for 9 months. I have the utmost regard for the staff and I am very grateful for their help over the years. They do a grand job, sometimes in very difficult circumstances.
