What a wonderful place. Staff and residents. Had reservations when told my Aunty she was going into a home. We need not have worried, we have never seen her so well and happy in a long time. Highly recommend the home.

On all my visits to the home over a four year period I always found staff to be friendly and helpful. It was clean, warm and well managed at all times. My mother's personal care was excellent, a good blend of informal and professional. Throughout her stay I was reassured that she was warm, well fed and cared for. I would highly recommend this home.

My mother in law was a resident of Marston Court for 4 years until she died. The care was always excellent - whenever we visited the atmosphere was open, honest and caring. Her main carer was so good at engaging my mother in law to care for herself, accept food and to feel relaxed and comfortable. Both my mother-in-law and I are nurses and we know good care when we see it. Marston Court was the best we could have hoped for her final years. Thank you.
Given my mother's character traits are exacerbated by her dementia, I feel the home do an amazing job to look after my mum because I cannot any longer.

Given my mother's character traits are exacerbated by her dementia, I feel the home do an amazing job to look after my mum because I cannot any longer.
They provide a lot of warmth, support and more importantly the continuity of kind care and persistence that allows my mother to continue to live as well as she does. Thank you.
Sometimes cerebral differences are not always considered.
This is an amazing care home. From the atmosphere of warmth and happiness that meets you when you enter, to the fantastic care received by all. I can only describe it as one big family.

Despite this, the staff have ensured that the residents are able to continue with the minimum of disruption and the excellent care has continued.
All the staff became more like friends to our family. My mother enjoyed all the activities that she participated in.

My first impression was what a relaxed atmosphere and "no" smell. Mum was made to feel at ease and I liked how the staff talked to mum rather than through me.

I came to pick mum up today, she looked so well and wanted to stay another week.
I would like to thank everyone for their kindness I would not hesitate to use Marston Court again for respite or longer term if the time comes. Many thanks
Very helpful, very overworked staff. Doing an excellent job keeping all of the resident and visitors happy. Looking forward to our mother using their day service as well as respite care in August. Very clean and friendly place.

All the staff at Marston Court were very helpful and good at their respective jobs. The carers looked after my husband with great care, kindness and patience. The group responsible for entertainment were really fantastic in getting the residents interested and involved in many different types of activities. The food was good and wholesome and the chef made extremely delicious cakes which the residents enjoyed a lot. I would certainly recommend this care home to any prospective resident.

My friend says she is happy and her attitude shows this to be true. The friendliness of other residents and care of the staff is evident. Lists of activities show consideration of needs not just care sitting of residents. Day visits before living in Marston Court was a valuable way of meeting social needs whilst still living in a fairly independent life before moving into resident care.
Marston Court is my mums home now and she really could not be happier. There is no doubt that her contentment is solely due to the most wonderful team - each and every one of them are angels. It's like a family and they all work so hard to keep things fun and ship shape. I hope they get some...
Marston Court is my mums home now and she really could not be happier. There is no doubt that her contentment is solely due to the most wonderful team - each and every one of them are angels. It's like a family and they all work so hard to keep things fun and ship shape. I hope they get some rewards for their work - an extra 1/2 day off or a massage - just a little something to show we relatives care about them, as they care for our relatives.

From the first time my mother attended the day centre to her death in Marston Court she was treated with dignity and care. When completing her advance care plan she stated that Marston Court felt like family. Mum was unwell on several occasions and each time the staff dealt with her needs in a professional manner and kept the family fully informed. I would thoroughly recommend the care home. The staff are amazing and we are so grateful as a family that this was where she spent her final days.
I visit Marston Court approximately twice each month in the afternoons. I am always made very welcome by all the staff who are cheerful and give the residents kind attention according to their needs. There is always something going on to entertain the residents who appear happy and join in with...
I am not there at meal times so cannot comment on the food. Always a lovely happy atmosphere at Marston Court.

Marston Court has looked after my mother very well over the last two years or more. The staff are always friendly and welcoming to visitors (at anytime without any prior notice) They are kind to their residents, I have often seen them chatting and helping their charges. The home is very clean and pleasant environment and my mother's room is a pleasant bedsit. She is well looked after in terms of cleanliness, meals, laundry, hairdressing etc. The staff are knowledgeable and experienced, many of them here have been at Marston Court for many years. Altogether a kind a cheery atmosphere prevails.

I come as a volunteer one morning a week and help with activities. I started in November 2015 and have been here regularly ever since. I have been very impressed too by their patience and cheerfulness in often trying situations. The range of activities each week is excellent and great trouble is taken to stimulate residents by getting them involved in current affairs and politics.
Very nice party. Food and drink excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful.

I have a 90 year old husband, he has been in Marston Court since January 2016. The carers (all of them) and office staff are very good, the food is also very nice. Every room is kept clean, chairs wiped down, and always set up nicely for each meal.
