Care staff are lovely. I like going to activities - bingo, arts and crafts, entertainers. I am missing my family. I cannot wait to see them once Covid has gone.

I have been here two and a half years and have enjoyed my stay at Marple Dale. I enjoy spending time with the activity team. My room is always kept clean and tidy.

My experience with this home has been good. Agency staff not quite as caring as regular staff. Transfer to get service users out and about is poor. The whole of the outside is shabby and needs a good painting, and some work over windows needs cleaning; this is evident when you drive up to the front of the building.

I am surprised at the cost, but I have no means of assessing value for money. On the whole, I have nothing but praise for my treatment.

With the recent relaxation of visiting restrictions, I was able to see my father for the first time in four and a half months. Precautions against Covid-19 were in place but both effective and unobtrusive. It was good to see him and reassuring to know that he was in safe hands.
A big thanks to all the staff.

I have never had any concern that he is not getting the best possible care.
The care home and company have kept me totally informed on everything, even during these difficult times.

I am very pleased with my experience at Marple Dale Care Home the staff are excellent and really make me feel as I can talk to them if I have got a problem they try to sort it out for me. If I have letters for appointments I give them to the nurse and they sort them out.

Having not seen my mother for three months, due to Covid-19, I was very pleased to be told I could visit her last Tuesday. I was worried about how they would organise the visit to stop any infection being spread on. They did an excellent job. Our temperatures were taken, table, and chairs sanitised before we sat down and hand sanitizer provided. Can't praise them enough for their care, especially over the last few months for my mother, as she had Covid-19. Not bad enough to go to the hospital, but protection was in place to stop the spread. Excellent job.

Generally, well run establishment with very friendly and helpful staff. The activities aspect is very impressive. On the security side, it is disconcerting to find that there is no one on duty on reception at weekends. It's evident that maintenance is sadly lacking with broken/leaking gutters, and external features desperately in need of a coat of paint.
My son has been at Marple Dale since being discharged from hospital after having had a car accident in February 2014. His care at Marple Dale is second to none. The staff all treat him very, very well. As a mother, it is so good and comforting to see the love and care my son receives.
Mum feels safe and mostly contented in her room. The staff are kind and some show affection to her. The staff, especially the activities staff, encourage her to join in with activities but due to her fear of being hoisted and general anxiety of change, she is reluctant to do so. We are appreciative of all the care and attention she receives. It has been a great comfort to myself and my family to know that she is being well looked after.

Admirable from the pleasant staff in reception to the people who look after the residents, first class. Special mention to the ladies on reception. Very courteous and helpful. Cheerful and always smiling. Well done.
Nursing and caring excellent. Activities need more full-time support. Choices of menu could be improved. Support staff excellent and very approachable.
She is very well looked after and cared for.
The nursing and care staff are excellent.
I have given management as good and not excellent as she is fairly new to the role.
Activities need improving, they were once excellent, but not anymore.
Disappointing that everyone is so busy and that more time can't be devoted to spending time with residents.
The staff are very happy and make the residents stay a lot less stressful than it could be.
Over the time my father has been a resident he has settled in well. He has a lovely, comfortable room. He likes the meals most of the time. When I have asked him about care, he says staff are patient and kind. There is, on the whole, a very nice atmosphere at Barchester Marple Dale Care Centre.
Not all staff take time with the residents, and it feels rushed - though don't see that as any individual's fault, just the process that needs to be managed.
