My mother has been a resident of this home for several years and I cannot speak too highly of the care she has received. The staff display kindness and consideration at all times. The past month has been very demanding for all concerned and the dedication shown by the staff is outstanding. Marsh House was one of the first in the area to ask for total isolation and while this is difficult for both residents and family, it was a necessary precaution to keep everyone safe. They have even managed to give us the opportunity to videocall, which was much appreciated. My heartfelt thanks go to all the staff.
Thank you for your lovely review, we really appreciate your kind words.

My sister is very comfortable at Marsh House. The home itself is clean, bright and welcoming. The staff are very friendly and efficient. My sister's room is nicely decorated, clean and warm and she says the food is varied and always to a good standard with plenty of choices. Having viewed several other care homes in the area with my sister, we found Marsh House to be head and shoulders above the others in every respect.
We really appreciate your positive feedback. Thank you for your kind words. As a home, we endeavour to create a homely, caring environment for all our residents and those who visit.

When I visit my sister I always find the home clean. I find the manager very pleasant and able to attend to all my inquiries. She appears happy to converse with staff and residents and still have time to talk to visitors. The staff I find very friendly and helpful. I have visited quite a few residential nursing homes from time to tome but I would say that this is the most pleasant and friendly.
Thank you for your glowing review, we really appreciate your feedback.
Myself and the rest of the family are delighted in the care that my sister is receiving at Marsh House. She is extremely happy here and accepts Marsh House now to be her home. The staff are always very welcoming and helpful.

Mum had two falls in the previous four months prior to going into Marsh House. We decided that, for her own safety, a care home was the best option for a period of respite in order to recover from her injuries. It soon became apparent that she was so unsteady on her feet that Marsh House would have to be permanent to avoid further injury. We looked at several alternatives and were impressed with Marsh House for its cleanliness and staff attitude to the general safety and welfare of the residents. Her room is en-suite with patio doors opening on to a lawn. The dining room is clean, tidy and modern, looking out on to a well-maintained garden and a patio with furniture for sunny summer days. The food is varied and well presented by the resident chefs, with the menu changing daily. We always find the management and staff very approachable and were extremely supportive and understanding when mum was settling in. We would not hesitate to recommend Marsh House to anyone. It is run as “a happy ship”.
What a glowing review of our home. Thank you so much for your kind words, All The Team at Marsh House.

Amazing care home, the staff and manager are so caring, my grandma loves it here, plenty of things going on, day trips, great food with menus. Lovely rooms set in a country location, snacks and drinks available all day. It’s all about the needs of the residents and Marsh House puts the residents needs first.
Making the decision that your parent needs to go into care is very difficult and finding one that is suitable is even harder so we are glad to have found Marsh House.

Making the decision that your parent needs to go into care is very difficult and finding one that is suitable is even harder so we are glad to have found Marsh House. It is a bright clean environment in a lovely rural setting with a staff who obviously care about their residents. We always find the management and staff very approachable and they were extremely supportive in the early days when Mum was settling in. We particularly like the fact that we can visit any time of day without prior notice. Mum is very comfortable in her room, well looked after and well-fed. The food is varied and well presented at mealtimes with plenty of choices. Mum enjoys her food and the social aspect of the dining room. Although Mum prefers not to always join in, there are activities available and trips out are popular too. We would not hesitate to recommend Marsh House to anyone looking for somewhere, either for respite or long term care.
Thank you for your lovely review. I am pleased your mum is comfortable with us at Marsh House and will share your kind words with the staff team. Kindest Regards.

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.
Thank you for your kind words in relation to the service and support that you experienced at Marsh House. It will be my pleasure to convey your experience to all staff at the home.
