The charming Marsh House, a converted farmhouse, offers its residents great views, beautifully decorated rooms and spacious facilities to socialise in.

The care provided by the highly-qualified and compassionate staff is personalised to ensure each resident is treated as an individual. Meals provided follow the same ethos and the home's chef regularly speaks to residents to fulfil their needs and preferences.

Marsh House accommodates up to 33 residents. They offer residential care plus support to those who are finding that their memory is becoming more of an issue in their daily lives. Most rooms feature French doors that open onto the grounds and residents have lots of space around the home, including a conservatory, to socialise and relax.

Review from Rosie C (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 December 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
To the wonderful staff of Marsh House care home, I cannot begin to thank you and show my appreciation for the incredible care and attention you gave to my mum, while she was with you until she sadly passed away on the 20/11/17.
Everyone from the management, nurses, care assistants, laundry ladies,
cleaning ladies, cooks and handyman all went above and beyond to ensure my mum was given everything she needed. She was allowed to make her own choices and keep a certain level of independence.
Thank you for your kind words, cards, condolences and words of support and comfort given to me and my family. I really do thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Kind regards.
Reply from Marc Evans, Regional Manager at Marsh House

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.745)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.745) out of 10 for Marsh House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.745 for Marsh House is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.745
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Marsh House is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
