Marina Care Home

The staff at Marina Care held a birthday celebration for a resident who was 100 yrs of age. The event was inclusive of all residents and their families. The afternoon was excellent with great food, entertainment and the lounge/dining rooms were decorated with balloons and banners. It was a fabulous atmosphere for all who attended. Well done to the team at Marina Care.

My Aunt recently had her 100th birthday and the manager and staff put on a party for her. We (the family) were thrilled with everything that was done for her. Excellent entertainment was provided (enjoyed by all residents) and the buffet was superb as was a beautiful cake. The home was decorated with balloons and flowers and looked lovely. We have always thought that the care given is second to none but the love shown to my Aunt on her special day was above and beyond. Thank you all x

This care home gives very good attention to all the patients. The staff are all courteous, kind and considerate to everyone. The home is kept very clean and the surroundings are very pleasant.

Mixed care for residents with different needs, effective and safe care. Problems dealt with in a swift and caring manner. A cohesive staff and management leading to an efficient and well-run home.

Excellent care. Very caring and attentive. Our aunt is very happy here. Always kept well informed and any issues resolved quickly.

My father became a resident with dementia and my mother followed to be with him. We knew they were being well cared for, as my mother used to tell us but we didn't realise how much until my father received end of life care. We spent some time there with him and was so impressed that many of the staff would come back in after work and visit him and also call all hours how he was. Also, the stories they told us about him could have only come from him which we thought was beyond his communication ability. It was very humbling that the staff knew him and communicated better than ourselves, but also very comforting. Thank you to the staff for their professional and personal efforts.

A caring home from home environment.

I find Marina Care home very warm and friendly and comfortable to be among warm people and the staff are very good indeed. I like meeting people and talking to new people of every nationality.

The staff are so caring and nothing is too much trouble. They show the residents genuine care and love no matter what time of day you go, this is what elderly people need at this time of life. In my opinion, I can find no fault with Marina Care Home.

No complaints.

I have been to visit my relative in the home on many occasions. I have found the staff to be polite and respectful at all times. When I visit the home I am always greeted with a smile and the residents always look happy and content. The staff show great dedication to their work. The décor is of a high standard and always looks clean and tidy. I am offered to have a meal with my relative when I visit. The home has a good array of activities from chair exercises to singers.

- they cared for our relative so very compassionately.

After a terrible time at another home, dad came here and we were slightly apprehensive after our previous experience. We had no need, as the staff at Marina Care Home welcomed him with open arms. They took time to understand him and he thrived here. He had a great last 6 months in a clean, happy place and thoroughly enjoyed his time in his room, the communal lounge and of course, the garden! The staff cared for him as if he was their own father. During dad’s last weeks they helped him and us with the utmost care and attention. I can’t praise the manager and all the staff enough for the 100% effort they put into looking after the residents in their care and their visitors!!

I would highly recommend this nursing home if you are in the sad position of having to put a loved one in a home, you just don't know what you are letting yourself in for and worry about the right place for your family member so I hope this review helps.

Marina Cre Home staff put 100% into their work and put a lot of effort into making the residents feel at home and comfortable.

Visiting my neighbours the first time distressed me, to see the extent of how Alzheimer's affects people. My neighbours were not so poorly and I felt a quieter place would have been better. However, I changed my mind on the second visit, as they were in a beautiful dining room, it was quiet and they were settled in. The staff were brilliant with them, caring and considerate and my neighbours walked me to the gate (they were being watched of course) but the staff allowed them their dignity to do this, which pleased them very much. I feel sure they will ask for respite at Marina again.

My father moved to the care home after a short stay in hospital after a fall at home, he has early signs of dementia and recently advised he is now terminally ill.

All the staff at Marina have provided dad with a high standard of care and treat him with dignity and respect at all times.

As a family we would prefer him not to be in care, however, Marina Care Home is the best place for him.

This home was recently taken over by new management (Care Quality Commission). Has certainly improved. Would like to make further comments in six months.

I came here from hospital after a fall and an infection. I was visited by the manager in hospital and was asked if I would consider staying at the home, I was asked lots of questions regarding my care. I have been in the home for 3 weeks. Staff have cared for me, I am walking, and have enjoyed my stay and am feeling better.

In the 2 years I have been here I was only fairly happy, but after a recent change in management I am now very happy with every change that has been made. My family remarked the difference in me - and the warm atmosphere in the home.
