I feel my dad is in a very caring place. It always seems so relaxed and clean. Dad seems to have settled in well. The staff are very friendly and professional.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to hear that your dad has settled in well with us. It is a pleasure to have him with us.

Marston Court is a fantastic place and the staff are amazing. My dad moved in in September 2021 and has done incredibly well. He has put on weight, as he loves the food so much, and joins in with all of the activities. The care he receives is outstanding and he is treated as part of the Marston Court family. He is in the best place possible and I can't thank the staff enough for everything that they do for him.
Thank you for your kind words, and for taking the time to share them with us. It's great to hear that your dad is thriving with us at Marston Court. If we can do anything else for him, or you, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll make sure the team sees your feedback as I know it's important to them.

I cannot recommend Marston Court highly enough! My dad has been a resident there since September 2021 and the care he gets is absolutely outstanding. The staff go above and beyond and are all so caring, compassionate and treat Dad as if he were one of their own family members. He enjoys the activities so much, something he would never have done previously! The food is amazing and I know Dad thoroughly enjoys it. It was a very difficult decision to place Dad into care but I know he is so well looked after, safe and is in the best place for all his needs. Thank you Marston Court, we will forever be grateful to you for all you do for him.
What lovely feedback, thank you! And thank you for taking the time to share your experiences of Marston Court - I'm sure your comments will be useful to others in a similar position looking for care for a loved one. I'm glad your dad is so happy with us. If there is anything more we can do for him, or for you, please just let us know.
I am extremely happy with the care my father receives. The carers always seem to be happy, helpful and full of energy. They take good care fo my father in a thoughtful and caring manner which makes me very pleased.

They cannot do enough for you and nothing is too much trouble we are really pleased that we were able to get in here after it was recommended to us.
We're very happy with the care Mum is getting at Marston Court and she is remarkably better there than she was at home; much more cheerful and focused. The staff are wonderful and very responsive to her needs and her general state of health is vastly improved. Couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Since Mum has been a resident she has seemed to be more inspired and also more sprightly. The staff are always great, helpful and bubbly. Overall, she is much happier than when she had care at home.

The staff put me and my mother at ease when we first visited. The care staff were amazing so upbeat doing extra tasks to make Mum feel good, above and beyond their job descriptions. The office staff gave advice as I was upset seeing Mum in a home at first, but it's the best thing that could have happened - she's much happier now, so many activties. The newsletter over the 11 challenges for Poppy Day really helped my family feel good about her welfare. It was sent to relatives around the world. You're tops Marston Court - thank you!

With all Covid-19 restrictions in place, communicating with my dad was seamless; via telephone any time of the day and eventually in person as restrictions eased.
Dad spoke highly of all staff, activities and especially food (which Dad loved!) the menu choices each day were incredible and this helped Dad gain weight in the midst of having treatment following his diagnosis.
I would highly recommend Marston Court for any family member and/or loved one.
Thank you all so much for the care, support and kindness you provided for my dad.
My mum attended the day centre while she was living with me, my health suddenly went down and I couldn't then cope with all her needs. She got a place in Marston Court now for 2 years.

My mum attended the day centre while she was living with me, my health suddenly went down and I couldn't then cope with all her needs. She got a place in Marston Court now for 2 years. I can't thank the staff enough for what they do. The food is amazing. Mum always looks so clean and healthy. She's always happy. The relief I have knowing that she is being looked after so well. I'm living along the road, so I am able to see her.

My dad went to Marston Court for respite, and due to complications, ended up staying for over a year in their care. I felt very relaxed knowing my dad was at Marston Court and being extremely well cared for. I never had to worry about his care and well being; they are amazing. Dad is leaving them shortly to move in with mum into a flat, but I really do not know what I would have done without their help and support over this period of time.

The decision to place Mum in a care home was extremely difficult to make, but Marston Court has surpassed all expectations and she couldn’t be in a better place. The staff are caring and thoughtful, with a real focus on the true character behind the sometimes frail and sometimes confused person that Mum has become. I can see she is safe, content and stimulated by the amazing programme of activities that happen each week. She looks good - great hairdresser - and talks very positively about how happy and loved she is, particularly by the wonderful member of staff who has facilitated our Skype meetings during COVID-19. Thank you to all the wonderful staff, I am so grateful for your care.
Friendly atmosphere - clean and smelling fresh.

My nanny has been attending the day centre for a year or more and thoroughly enjoys the excellent activities. She has now got a confirmed permanent placement and the family is very pleased. Nanny seems very happy and her room is lovely. The rooms and communal area are always spotlessly clean. Staff are really welcoming and so lovely with the residents. I would recommend Marston Court without a doubt.
All the members of staff are so caring and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. I am so relieved my sister is there, she could not be in a better place.

From the moment my mother arrived, the welcome service and support has been exemplary. It's always a worry when you make the decision to move a loved one into the care system. My wife and I have been so impressed with all the social aspects of the care home from book reading clubs that we have participated in, to dancing and sing songs. My mother from being quiet and unable to mix has totally changed, she is now up dancing, singing and getting on well with other residents.
My mother smiles, along with her family members who understand the work and effort that goes into making this resident facility excellent.
