My father is a resident of Marsh House and is very happy with the care he receives. He is fully cognisant but struggles with his mobility. The staff are wonderful and care for him as if he was a member of the family. The carers have some banter with my father as they know he can take a joke - and he can dish out some teasing as well!
What a lovely review for Marsh House, it's great to know that there is fun to be had at the home! Kind regards.

Visiting is never a problem, no matter what time of day we arrive.
Residents are encouraged to participate in regular activities. Food and drinks of a good standard, and if needed, outside of normal times. Nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you for your kind comments and for taking the trouble to review our home. Kind regards.
Care for my mum is excellent. Mum has dementia and can quickly become confused. This is never an issue, and every member of the team shows genuine care and love. She is always happy!

My nan lives at Marsh House and I was very impressed with the staff. I was greeted by the handyman who knew everything about my nan including when she had a nap and when she went for walks. The chef was then helping the handyman move some heavy furniture. This stood out as I could clearly see the strong and collaborative team at Marsh House. The staff clearly look after the residents at Marsh House and go above and beyond. I was very impressed by the birthday celebrations and cake that the team put together for my nan.
Thank you for your wonderful review of Marsh House and comments about the team, who work so hard to ensure that everyone is happy, safe and well. Kind regards.
Amazing care for my nana. She is happy here as are the other residents whenever we visit. The staff go above and beyond to make sure she is well cared for physically and mentally.

My mother-in-law has been in the care home for 10 months, and I/we have been very happy with her care. She is very well fed and looked after, especially as her mobility is very poor, one of the factors towards her becoming a resident. She needs two staff members to wash and move her around the...
Her room is a very good size and light, which is really helpful for her poor vision.
She has very limited vision but they include her in as many activities as possible, and if they are musical or singing she really joins in.
The staff have been responsive when we have requested medical intervention, although getting through on the phone is not always easy.
Overall, the staff are dedicated and work very hard. They know their residents well and treat them with respect in a very busy and demanding environment.
Thank you very much for your review and appreciate all of the details you have given. So glad to hear that there are so many great things to report. Apologies, if you have found it tricky to get through on the phone sometimes, we'll be sure to pass your feedback to the team. Your ratings are also very much appreciated. Kind regards.

Both of my parents became residents of Marsh House in January of 2024. We couldn't have wished for a more homely and caring environment. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the residents are comfortable and well cared for. The activities are varied and stimulating. The staff seemed to have got to know my parents very quickly and learnt their likes/dislikes. As soon as I walked into the home for a look around and met the staff, I immediately knew it was the place I wanted my parents to be. and we haven't been disappointed.
What a wonderful review. Thank you very much for your kind comments and high ratings; we do appreciate them. Kind regards.
My mother-in-law loves living at Marsh House. The staff are great with the residents. There is a wide range of activities for the residents, which the staff do with them. There's never a dull moment at Marsh House. Highly recommended.

It was difficult for us at the beginning.
We really wanted Mum to stay in her own home.
Unfortunately, this wasn't possible with her health issues.
It took us some time to get used to how the care home runs, and made our fair share of complaints.
To which staff and management listened and changed Mum's care if appropriate.
The manager and second in command are extremely approachable.
The rest of the team work really hard looking after the residents.
Marsh House activities have most definitely improved in recent months since a change in the activities coordinator.
A massive thank you to all the staff at Marsh House for looking after Mum.
Many thanks for such an honest review, sharing your experience of moving a parent into care home will be such useful insight for those people also looking for a care for a loved one. Kind regards
My wife has been here nearly a week. We are very satisfied with the care she is receiving. The staff are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. We are extemely happy she is here.

Mum arrived in August 2023, following a lengthy stay in a step-down facility. Mum had deteriorated during this time in terms of her capacity, mobility, reduced independence, mood and general wellbeing. I knew as soon as I stepped through the doors of Marsh House that this was 'the one'. The staff at all levels are incredible: passionate, professional, caring, hardworking and skilled, even the maintenance guys know and engage with the residents, it's truly a delight to see the staff team operate together. Mum has bounced back and continues to blossom in all aspects of her health/well-being. I couldn't be more grateful to the staff who have encouraged her independence and movement. The team consistently go the extra mile, even supporting me with the transition, to make this the incredible home it is. We now spend our visits giggling with Mum and her stories of fun activities and staff interactions. All care homes are not the same. 5 stars Marsh House! I hope I can come here one day.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review of Marsh House. We are certain that your account of your own and your mother's experience at the home will do much to inform others of the standards of care available at Marsh House. Kind regards

After being discharged from the hospital into a nursing home for assessment, I felt that wasn't where my wife would continue to improve. I was informed of this home, and after a walk around viewing, I felt that this was more suitable, so transferred here. Within days, my wife's general state of mind improved, and soon after, her health improved to where she began to blossom and enjoy life again; this is down to the attentive staff who all care about their work, ensuring the resident's well-being, care support is the priority,y yet a sense of fun is always present in all they do. In the short time she has been there, this feels right.
Thank you for your review - how touched we are that you have taken the time and trouble to tell your good news story and recognise the care and attention of the team at Marsh House. Kind regards.
I have been disappointed over recent months with the standard of my husband's dress ie not wearing his own clothes or stained with food, also when I bring in items for a treat for him they are not always given. I would also prefer to see him showered on a regular basis.

Thank you very much for taking the opportunity to write a review and give us feedback, we appreciate the chance to address those issues highlighted by family members.The team at Marsh House have now been reminded that clothing protectors may be best worn at mealtimes, rather than the use of a napkin, in order to keep clothes cleaner. I am assured that your husband is offered regular showers and his own clothes are available for his use, please be sure that when you are in the home, if you spot anything amiss with his dress or cleanliness, you highlight it, so that the issue can be rectified, if necessary. We would also like to confirm that treats are given, he likes to sit on the sofa and enjoy what you bring, but again please speak to the care team at the home. They are here to help and are more willing to do so. Kind regards.

First came in November 2022. The home was chosen as close to family. I was made welcome from day one. Carers, seniors, manager and cleaning staff are all so friendly and look after all your needs. Visiting family and friends are welcome any time of the day, also pets/dogs are very welcome. You soon make friends within the home which is lovely and helps the days go by. Gardens are kept well and it's lovely to sit outside now summer is here.

The management are always prepared to listen to any reasonable request. The gardens are in tip-top condition within the vagaries of the weather. No one should have any worries about visiting or living in this excellent establishment.
