I do not have enough adjectives to describe how reassured we are by my grandfather's care. He is safe, clean, loved and happy but the team go above and beyond to treat him holistically, compassionately and as the person he still is, despite the challenges of age. I work in the NHS, I know what good care looks like and they have the care x factor. Thank you!

This is a lovely nursing home and a perfect environment for Dad in his current situation. The lovely staff are so attentive and encouraging to him and putting him at ease where his dementia confuses him. He loves the food and enjoys the music and bingo! The facilities here and the general ambience make it a calm oasis for Dad at this time. All of the staff at Merryfield are so caring and patient, all clearly experts at elderly care. We, the family, could not be happier.

Merryfield are an exemplary caregiving home from home. They have cared for and protected my parents through the COVID crisis. When Dad arrived to join Mum he wasn't given long but the medical diagnosis and care has really helped them both. Mum has a cramped hand due to her dementia and they made her a special paintbrush and now she loves painting. Outstanding!

Both my parents have been residents at Merryfield for over a year and I couldn't have asked for a nicer home for my parents to stay in. Hygiene is immaculate, food is delicious and staff are so friendly and make you so welcome. What more could you wish for? I would highly recommend the home to anyone, as we looked in the area and just fell in love with Merryfield. This has made a very hard decision to make very reassuring. Thank you!

We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
