Review from Sally M (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Mum is looked after, and they cannot do enough to make sure she is well-kempt, fed and kept comfortable. They treat Mum with respect, and even with her dementia, they have time to talk to her. They include her in activities and try
to encourage her to take part. The home is kept clean and tidy, and it is a pleasure to go into. I have the greatest respect for the carers for their patience and understanding. I’m so pleased Mum ended up there. I have no doubt she is in a wonderful home with lovely, caring people.

What more can I say other than what a happy and welcoming environment is projected by every member of staff. And there is nothing better than a smiling face to help anyone forget their troubles. I can't think of a nice place for my sister to have spent her last days. Thank you to all at Marian House.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad has been a resident at Marian House Nursing Home for 18 months now, and we are really happy that he is well looked after, safe and cared for by the team. His room is always nice and clean whenever we visit, and we can sit in privacy there to spend some quality time with him. Dad has settled in here
lovely now, and he has a lot of friends with the staff. The back office team have always been incredibly helpful and supportive from day one, which goes a long way. Compared to two previous care homes Dad was in, this is so much better as he wasn’t looked after properly, and we get a lot of comfort in knowing Dad is safe here in these difficult circumstances. Well done, and thanks to all the team.

I am very happy with the quality of care given to my brother. Whilst he is a resident at this care home, the quality of care at this home provides excellent standards of care from management to domestic, kitchen, care, etc. This home is extremely warm and inviting from all of the staff with excellent
communication skills, ie management and staff are extremely supportive of my brother whilst he is in their care. The standards of cleanliness and excellent standards of hygiene are of high standards, providing healthy, nutritious meals are provided for all residents. I am happy that my brother is in the right place for care.

My mom has vascular dementia and is bedridden, I work full time and it gives me peace of mind to know the excellent care she is given. Mom can’t participate in activities because of the severity of her condition, but could do the music therapy in her own room, they are excellent from the managers to
the cleaning staff they always chat with me when I visit and with my mom.

From the initial contact with the office manager, who could not have been more helpful and understanding, the staff have helped us navigate Mom's move into nursing care. The home is always beautifully kept and the atmosphere is friendly and caring. They have helped us all adapt to this phase of Mom's
life with dignity and respect.

My dad has been a resident for over 3 years and as a family, we couldn't be happier with the care he's received. They give him the care we are unable to do ourselves. We know he is loved and looked after by all the staff - from the office to the cleaners and everyone in between.
They keep us well-informed
about medical issues and are regularly in touch with us. The home is always clean and has a lovely feel about it when you walk in. The staff are very friendly and approachable and happy to help if we need anything.

As a volunteer, I visit Marian House weekly to administer Holy Communion to two residents. During the visit, I usually have some brief discussions with staff and always feel welcome. I find the staff to be both friendly and accommodating. Particular mentions go to the Activities Co-Ordinator, the on-site
manager, and the lady who distributes the refreshments. Also, fellow visitor - the hairdresser.

My mom was looked after at Marion House for her final days. Mom was given 24-hour care. Special thanks to the staff.
Mom was looked after in her last days which helped us not only with the transition of having to come to terms with Mom going into a home, which she never wanted to, enabling us to feel
comfortable with this as we knew this was our only option.
Thank you all for looking after our mom.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mom moved in under Covid restrictions, which wasn't ideal, as she was scared to make such a huge move without her family by her side.
However, the staff were incredibly kind and supportive and made her transition as easy as possible. Special thanks to staff who held her hand in the early days,
when family weren't allowed to.
Since the very first day, the staff have been amazing. They work incredibly hard, to ensure that every aspect of my mom's life runs smoothly.
The staff treat my mom more like a friend, rather than a resident, she is so happy.
This is so comforting and reassuring for her family, we need not worry about a thing, as we know that my mom is receiving the best care. As she lives in an extremely happy environment and she loves her cosy room.
The home itself is well-equipped, spotlessly clean and very welcoming.
We can't possibly put into words, the level of gratitude we feel towards the staff of Marion House.

Thanks Lucy for taking the time to write this amazing review. It was our pleasure to offer that support to your Mom and the rest of your family, during the Covid restrictions and since the restrictions have lifted, it has been wonderful to welcome you all into the home.

The home is lovely, the room that my mum has is homely. We are allowed to put pictures on the wall and bring items that are special to my mum. We are always greeted by a friendly face and are allowed to pop in at any time.
The nurses are fully qualified and administer any medication. We are kept informed
of changes to our mum, whether it’s her health or if they are concerned about her well-being. The home is not the biggest, which is one of the reasons I like it. It is more personal and the staff have time to stop and talk to you.
The staff know my mum really well which is comforting for our family.
If I raise any concern it is dealt with immediately which is reassuring.

Review from Margaret S (Wife of Resident) published on 4 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband became a resident of Marian House Nursing Home in September 2022 and passed away in February 2023. He arrived suffering from advanced Alzheimer's, presenting quite a care challenge. I was full of hope because the building was light, the staff welcoming and the residents were alert because
they were included in all that was going on around them. Over the following six months, I was never disappointed. The patience, care and love shown to all residents came from the top and spread out through the whole team. The home is really clean, the food is plentiful, home-cooked and delicious. The laundry is well organized and activities inspired. Meetings are held for relatives both to share changes and to invite feedback.
Looking for a care home that will suit your loved one is difficult and visits often just showcase facilities. Standards of care are more difficult to judge. Marian House Nursing Home is one of the best and I thank the whole team for the care that gave me peace of mind and gratitude.

Review from Kathryn L (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend Marian House Nursing Home. Mum moved into the home in April 2022 where she resided until she passed away in January 2023. Mum had struggled in her previous home but we saw her come to life when she joined residents and staff at Marian House. Her self confidence increased, she
was encouraged to exercise, enjoyed her hobby of bird watching and other very meaningful activities. The garden is lovely and Mum was actively encouraged to engage in outdoor activities. As a retired Occupational Therapist who has a particular interest in older adult care, in particular dementia care, I observed staff uphold my mum's dignity, acknowledging her lived experience of dementia. When Mum left notes to the milkman outside her bedroom door listing all the household items she needed for that week she was supported by staff to preserve her special identity, to remember the busy mum and primary school teacher she had once been. Staff were always very supportive to us.

Thank you for such a positive review, we take great pride in our dementia care. It was our pleasure to see your mum become so at home here and how quickly she settled in. Your kind words and hearing that you can recognise the effort that we make here in all areas of care and especially to preserve the dignity of residents are really appreciated by us all here.

Review from Beverley J (Niece of Resident) published on 18 October 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt had been a resident of Marian House for over two years until she passed away a few days ago. The care she received was on the whole very good, for many staff it was a vocation not just a job who were excellent and very patient. If problems arose, which over a two year period were inevitable,
I would go straight to the manager who would act immediately and find a solution to rectify the situation. My aunt was treated with respect and as an adult, she was allowed to make her own decisions and given choices with her care. I can't say her care was always excellent but I don't think this is the case in any residential facility but the management team always encouraged feedback both positive and negative to help improve things. I would like to thank in particular four members of staff for always making myself and my aunt welcome and for going above and beyond for my aunt's welfare. A special thanks goes out to the hostess who was simply exceptional.

    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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 22 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.

Anna Whitehouse

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2025

I have been a Registered General Nurse for over 20 years. I have a BSc Hons in Health Studies, NVQ Level 5 in Leadership and Management and Mentorship in Nursing Practice. I have also completed Lead to Succeed and Rise programme with My Home Life England. I worked in the NHS in various settings for 10 years and then started work in the Care Sector in 2012.


At Marian House, we have a wonderful team, and I am a firm believer that when you have a happy staff team, the positivity spreads to everyone.


We receive lots of positive feedback about how caring and friendly the staff are, and that the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We focus on getting to know your loved ones to ensure we deliver person-centred care with family and friends’ involvement.


It is so lovely to hear the laughter in the corridors when staff and the people that we support are interacting with one another. There is a strong ethos here to treat people how you would like to be treated yourself, encouraging independence, individual choice and preferences.


We are always here to help with any questions or queries you may have. We look forward to welcoming you to our home

Nanda Hughes

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2023

I am highly experienced in the Residential, Dementia, and Nursing care settings. I have been a nurse for 38 years.


My career started off in the NHS and then progressed to the private sector where I have worked for 20 years ensuring the highest standards of person-centred care for those living in the service and supporting my teams within their roles.


I joined Marian House in 2023, it is a privilege to take care of People's loved ones and treat each individual as I would my family.
I love that each day brings a new challenge and new experiences. Learning from previous experiences is paramount to achieve the best outcomes going forward. The care our residents receive is an area I feel very passionate about.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my 3 children and 6 grandchildren, enjoy watching rugby and socialising with my friends and family.

Job Title: Clinical Lead Joined: 2021

I have been a qualified nurse for 8 years and I joined Marian House in 2021 as a Nurse. I progressed into my Clinical Lead Role in 2023.


I am very passionate about ensuring our residents receive person-centred care and love being able to make a difference in our residents' lives, spending time listening and talking to them.


Part of my role is the responsibility for Medication Management, a field that I am equally enthusiastic about, as this is an imperative part of us delivering the excellent and safe care we pride ourselves on.

Sarah Monkman

Job Title: Lead Activities Coordinator Joined: 2021

I joined this great team in April 2021 as a care assistant, progressing to Senior Carer later that year. I took the role of Lead Activity Coordination in March 2024 after helping out with activities and finding that I loved the job and wanted to do it permanently.


Before joining Marian House, I worked as a Care Coordinator for a domiciliary care company as well as a dispenser in a pharmacy. I worked at both for several years before deciding to move over to nursing care.


I have found a passion for End-of-life care as well as Dignity in care. I have done a lot of training on these subjects which aids me in providing this care for the residents here at Marian House. I have just qualified in my NVQ Level 4 in Lead Adult Care, which I am very proud of. I love my job and thoroughly enjoy bringing joy and smiles to the resident's faces and lives, as well as coming up with new ideas and finding entertainment groups for the home.


Outside of work, my husband and I and our dog spend a lot of time outside, whether it be in the garden, gardening and looking after our pond, or going out for walks around our local Park. I enjoy playing the guitar, and my dad and I have regular jamming sessions, to our neighbour's dismay.
