Mum has lived at Marsh House now for several years during which time both her physical and mental health have taken a sharp turn for the worse. Throughout this time, we have found the carers, and indeed all the staff, to be of the first order: heroes every one of them. Given Mum's age and condition - 102 nearly! - we couldn't wish for a more caring environment.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased that your mum is in such caring hands at Marsh. we'll be sure to share your kind words with the team, who will really appreciate them.

My mum (now 92 years) has been resident since Jan 2024 we visit nearly daily with my father, each visit is a pleasure even though mum continues to age abit more. The staff are excellent and provide high quality care round the clock. We always receive the kindest attention from Steph, Jane and all the staff nothing is too much trouble. Mum has never complained about any aspect of her care and regularly compliments the staff on their attentivenness. With 30 or so residents it has a more intimate and homely feeling adding to the quality of the care in our opinion.
Thank you for your kind words. It's lovely to hear that your mum is happy with the care she receives at Marsh House and that the team are there to support your family.
Staff are always approachable to deal with any concerns we may have. They are also patient and caring to my mother in law who has dementia and can often have outbursts of aggression but her care and wellbeing is always their priority

I was surprised how quickly my aunty settle in. She enjoyed helping around the home. Which I was happy with due to her needing to move about more because if she doesn't it causes her ankle and feet to swell. Everyday she opened all the curtains in the morning and closed them at night.

My Mum, 92, has been a permanent resident in Marsh House since last year . She feels happy, safe and content with the way she is looked after by all of the staff. She enjoys the food which is plentiful, sleeps well in her private room with ensuite toilet and sink and enjoys the company of the other residents. Marsh House is a relatively small care home situated in a rural setting, where quality entertainment is provided on a regular basis along with hairdressing, nail technician, chiropody etc for those residents who wish to take advantage of these services. The senior team, Steph and Jayne and all of the lovely staff members do excellent work and engage with the residents and their families. They are very approachable and take the time to get to know the residents and us. Marsh House is a happy home, very clean and tidy, secure and it is always a pleasure to visit and chat with everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a lovely review about Marsh House. We're so pleased to hear that your mum feels happy, safe and well cared for. Its lovely to hear that you find the team approachable and that Marsh House is a happy home.

Such a clean environment and all the residents are happy. Mum loves the food and is eating more now than she was before she came to Marsh House. Nothing is too much for them to help you.
Thank you for such a lovely review. It's wonderful to hear how welcomed and supported you and your mum feel at Marsh House. We're so pleased she's enjoying the food and thriving in her new home, and that the small, family feel of Marsh House has helped you feel at ease too.

Couldn't really ask for a better service, all the staff are considerate and courteous and have a genuine interest in person centered care for their residents. My 90 year old mother has started to come out of her shell and this is due to the patience and commitment of the staff. It is surprisingly well managed and staff seem really happy even though they are always busy, they always have time for an update. Knowing that my mother is being looked after so well reflects on my life too and I feel as if the marsh house team are vicariously looking after me too. It's like having extended family. I would recommend MH no hesitation.
Thank you for your kind words. Hearing that your mother has started to come out of her shell due to our staff being patient and committed is amazing to hear. Knowing our staff are considerate, courteous and have a genuine interest for their residents makes us so proud. Marsh House being well...

Although early days, we are happy with Marsh House. The setting is very pleasant with a lovely garden and nice rooms. My mother moved to Marsh house aged 98 having being independent but supported living at home. It has been and I guess still is a challenge for her to get used to living in a home....
As I said, this is early days but up to now we feel mum is in the best place, being local to my brother and with the infrastructure and staff at Marsh house

Staff call to let us know how my mum-in-law is or if she isn't well. The staff are amazing, very caring, responsive to residents. Our old girl has never eaten so well, she loves being there. I don't think there is anything the home could do better. I know Mum is safe and cared for, she is clean,...

They have just held a Gala Day to raise funds for the entertainment they have at the home. All of the staff are great they came in on their day off, and all took part, so good with the residents. Cannot praise them enough.
