Mum has been at Marden Court since December 2024. In all that time the staff have never failed to amaze with their dedication.

My brother entered Marden Court for one month respite last September. He enjoyed it so much 2 days after returning home he made the decision to make his permanent residence and has never regretted the decision. Being a retired farmer he particularly enjoys the fortnightly trips to Jamie's Farm and being able to help with the garden at Marden Court. He finds the staff excellent and if he is having a bad day with his Parkinson's, he knows they are on hand to get him the help he needs.
Thank you so much for sharing your brother's experience with us, it's wonderful to read. We're delighted that what began as a short respite stay turned into such a positive long-term decision for him.

Thank you so much for sharing your brother's experience with us, it's wonderful to read. We're delighted that what began as a short respite stay turned into such a positive long-term decision for him. It's especially lovely to hear how much he enjoys the trips to Jamie's Farm and being involved in the garden-those meaningful activities can make such a difference in feeling at home and staying connected to lifelong interests.Your kind words about our team will mean a great deal to them. Supporting residents through both good days and more challenging ones is at the heart of what we do, so it's reassuring to know your brother feels supported, particularly with managing his Parkinson's. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback, it's a pleasure to have your brother as part of our community.
All the staff are always happy and helpful, which is a credit to them with the things they have to deal with daily. My family and I feel that mum is well cared for and very much appreciated by the staff and what they do. I think it would be good if a family member could help or choose some meals...
All the staff are always happy and helpful, which is a credit to them with the things they have to deal with daily. My family and I feel that mum is well cared for and very much appreciated by the staff and what they do. I think it would be good if a family member could help or choose some meals for residents, as mum doesn't really remember what she likes and doesn't like. My sister is there more often and could help with this, and mother may eat more.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback about Marden Court. We are really pleased to hear your kind comments about our staff. It means a great deal to know you and your family feel your mum is well cared for and valued, and that the team's support and attitude are appreciated. We also want to thank you for your helpful suggestion regarding meal choices. We understand how important it is that residents enjoy their meals and have options that reflect their preferences. Involving family members more closely in this process is a thoughtful idea, and we will certainly share your comments with the management and catering teams for consideration. We are always looking for ways to improve the dining experience and ensure it best meets individual needs. Thank you again for your feedback and for helping us continue to enhance the care we provide.

I visited my sister today and was pleasantly surprised to see her sitting in the lounge, as last week when I saw her she was in bed, quite poorly. She was looking forward to her lunch, and enjoys her food. Her new room is nicer than the previous one, not having to sit on the commode through lack of space was certainly an improvement. The fact that each of the residents has to have a commode bothers me greatly, and I feel that in this it's a big problem.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're delighted to hear that your sister is feeling better and was able to spend time in the lounge during your visit-that's always a positive sign. It's also wonderful to know she's enjoying her meals and looking forward to them. We're pleased that...

Marden Court in Calne have been lovely with my nanny, she has quite progressed dementia and they're fantastic with her. Every carer manages to calm hr down and make her smile with ease. Everyone at the home should be extremely proud of their kindness to the residents.

Kind, compassionate staff, lots of activities, and my mum has been happy living here. Staff are always easy to talk to with any queries. They can be short-staffed, meaning mum isn't always showered every week, but is done as soon as enough staff are on duty.

If I tell you my auntie is 101 years old, it won't be too difficult to know who she is! She absolutely loves it at Marden Court and I must admit, after being a little sceptical at first, I can see why. The staff are absolutely lovely, very attentive and caring, totally professional whilst making things fun on a day-to-day basis. Nothing is too much trouble and there are regular activities, entertainment and outings too, it's great! The whole place is always spotlessly clean and "fresh", not like some other care homes we have been to! I also love the monthly Newsletter, that's how I found out I could write a review. Looking forward to the calendars that the staff is producing too. I can't praise Marden Court highly enough! Well done each and every one of you, thank you!
