I am very happy and comfortable living here. I came back here soon after a hip replacement and was very well cared for and assisted. The carers are very attentive I can be taken outside into the garden whenever I wish. Everyone here seems very happy and contented. I never hear anyone calling out in distress. The home arranged for my physiotherapy as the hospital had not contacted them.

We both visit our friend at Marston Court fairly frequently and have always been impressed with the kindness and caring nature of all the staff there, with particular mention for the day carer, whom we have grown to know quite well.
The attention, care and patience shown to those residents whom we meet when we go to see her is something we recognise on every visit. They are also so kind and helpful to us on every occasion.
The cleanliness of the home is outstanding and its so nice to see that there are numerous activities for the residents to enjoy.
We both felt that we should place these views on record.
I would recommend Marston Court to anyone, because its carers are good, which is the most important thing. The management and administrators are helpful and approachable, and the activities team do a good job in providing interests and companionship. Nothing is perfect in this world, especially...
(jam sandwiches not unusual) Cycle parking is near the much used staff smoking area. I agree there should be weekend activities and the home sometimes smells of urine.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your comments. I am pleased to hear that you find Marston Court a caring place for your mother to live. I have noted the points that you made and am glad that we have had an opportunity to discuss these in detail. It was helpful to be able to explain how involved the residents are in making their own choices with regard to mealtimes, activities etc. We always do our utmost to put the well-being and comfort of our residents at the heart of all we do and I appreciate any feedback that enables us to improve our service. Please do not hesitate to come and talk to me at any time should you have any further concerns.
On the whole Marston Court is good with activities however weekend and evenings no good, have asked for puzzles etc. to be displayed in lounges for residents to do if desired.

On the whole Marston Court is good with activities however weekend and evenings no good, have asked for puzzles etc. to be displayed in lounges for residents to do if desired. Clothes go missing quite often even if they are marked. The home often smells of incontinence. The garden and animals are excellent for residents staff are helpful but more staff on duty would be nice. There are caring carers who look after the residents. It's a happy place to be in staff always listen to my concerns.
Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. I am glad that you find the home a happy place. With regard to your other points, I would be happy to discuss these with you next time you are visiting the home so that we can ensure they are addressed appropriately.

Staff, manager and carers were available to talk some things through, this was welcomed and pleasant and I felt heard, although there was a lot of background noise and activity in the office. All the staff are always friendly and treat me with courtesy and dignity, as they do my mother. She is well cared for in all aspects and staff have gone out of their way to make her feel comfortable and to meet her many needs.
My mother has been a resident for a few months before that my father was a resident for a good few years. They both have been treated with respect, good human and a caring way. I would not hesitate to recommend Marston Court to everyone.

Quite nice.
Quite nice.
My mother has been in the home for 3 years and is very happy. Her needs are nursing care now, they have done a great job with her. All the carers are so sweet, hard working, and under-payed for what they do. Carers management are very understanding, always there when you need them.

Our mother has been at Marston Court for eighteen months. We were so lucky to get her a room. She loves her room, the food, the staff and entertainment. All the staff cleaners, carers and nurses they all do a great job. We are always made welcome and the manager must be very proud of them all.
