We are encouraged by the progress and grateful for the dedicated staff. We would however feel that to improve mother's wellbeing, we would like to see mother take part in some more activities wherever possible for her mental health.

From the moment Mum arrived at Marple Dale, the whole team treated her like a member of their own family, she tells me she feels like a queen.
The care provided is person-centred and my mum feels loved and safe, Mum has put on weight since her admission and enjoys the company of all the staff.
Mum loves her room and the food, she likes Marple Dale so much that she now wants to stay as a permanent resident.
I would like to say a huge thank you to the team for looking after my mum so well, it has really put my mind at rest knowing she is happy and receiving excellent care.

My only very slight and inconsequential negative would be the furniture in the room was a little tired but the people were amazing and that's what counts.
Condolences to you and the family at this difficult time. Thank you for your review. We value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required.

Pleasant from the moment of stepping in with warm and welcoming staff. Good vibe throughout and positive energy. My step-sister also tells us she loves it here, a big bonus.

The staff were all very caring and helpful even though they were often 'pushed for time'. The home is very well organised and the facilities were excellent in every way including organised activities.

In mid-November, my grandad got moved here on end-of-life care.
And we've had nothing but hassle whilst he has been here. He's asked for basic things which are not being provided.
He got left on his commode from 6:00 AM till 8:00 AM shivering, crying ringing his buzzer, and no one coming! We live in Offerton and got there quicker than they could get up the stairs to him. They do none of his washing, we have to do it all for him, and he gets left for hours in his room. None of the staff make an effort to smile at him or talk to him. All of these issues above have also been raised to the staff and we got promised he would be better looked after and seen no improvements. I could honestly go into much more detail about how awful his last few weeks of being alive are being treated there.
Absolute joke how he is being treated. That's my grandad you're treating like this. You have one job. Get it together.
Thank you for leaving your review and we are sorry to see how dissatisfied you are feeling with our home. We have had conversations with your Grandad and we are aware of some teething problems in the first few days of his stay with us, all have been discussed and resolved and the staff have a very...
My dad had to move into Marple Dale following a fall at home. It was his decision, but I still thought he would be unhappy, to begin with. However, he settled in amazingly quickly. I have never heard a complaint from him. He especially loves the food and the activities. During the initial enquiry stage, the staff were helpful and friendly in guiding us through the process. One thing that impressed me at that time was that when I would telephone, someone always answered the phone quickly.

My sister has been a resident here since March 2022. Since then, I have been impressed with the standard of care she receives and the professionalism of the staff. I have found everyone to be approachable, friendly, caring and responsive - nothing is too much trouble. The accommodation is lovely, and the gardens are spectacular. My sister thoroughly enjoys the activities offered, from scrabble afternoons to shopping trips, to a barge trip on a local canal. My sister reports that the food is good; there is always a choice of meals, and it is all homecooked too. I was apprehensive at first, but everything is better than I expected.

My wife and I find it frustrating to arrange visits (Marple Dale Care Home). The process is too complicated through the head office (website) then through the home to arrange times. Our resident got a few visitors yet we find restrictions on visits. We are aware of the quirks during the pandemic but it is very sad that visits seem obstructive.

My wife has been a resident at Marple Dale for nearly 4 years. She has always been given excellent care there. The staff are fantastic and there is a real family atmosphere with the other residents. My wife settled in quickly and is as happy as she can be. I am happy too because I have complete confidence that she is being looked after so well.
