Over all time Marley Court Nursing & Residential Home has 57 reviews.
I have no complaints though, really pleased with everything else.
I have been a resident here at Marley Court for about 12 months. I find the level of care here very good on the whole, with just a couple of exceptions. Most of the staff, from carers to cleaners are delightful , again with a couple of exceptions. The standard of cleanliness is excellent. The quality of the food is very good with one or two slight improvements to quality of products to be made.i personally find tea time too early at 4..15 when lunch is at 12.30 I'm just not hungry at 4.15 but if it's a hot choice, or soup, it needs to be eaten hot because some foods do not microwave well. I given lots of detail because I tried to do a shorter review but was told it had to be at least 100 words so I have given more detail , but overall I give 4 Stars for Satisfaction.
My daughter has been a resident at Marley Court since November 2024. Since arriving at the home, the care has been excellent. The office manager and her staff members are always available to answer any questions. The medical and care staff take time to support the residents. Nothing is too much trouble. The activities are varied, and most of the residents join in. The family are all happy that we chose Marley Court for our daughter as she is very happy there. I would recommend it as a place for a loved one to live.
Thank you for the lovely feedback . I will ensure to pass this to the team.
Sally
The home has a homely feel and is kept very clean. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and treat residents with dignity. Residents are offered a wide range of activities, these are excellent. To summarise, I am very happy with the care my husband receives at Marley Court.
My mother had to be placed in care at short notice 2 years ago. Thank goodness Marley Court was recommended (highly) by an acquaintance. Mum has settled in well, she is fond of the staff and enjoys the activities. She also enjoys the friendship she has made and the interaction with staff and fellow residents. I am more than happy with the same along with the laundry and kitchen services.
Staff are friendly and welcome to help
My wife went into Marley Court in February 2025 following 3 strokes which affected her speech and mobility. The care she has received has been excellent. All the staff are caring and professional and nothing is too much trouble for them. The home is very clean and her room is kept spotless. There are a variety of activities organised every weekday afternoon covering numerous subjects. Somedays my wife won't eat at lunchtime because she may be asleep but when she awakes a member of the catering staff will bring her something to eat ensuring that she receives sufficient nourishment. Her face lights up when any of the staff come into her room as they make a fuss of her and make her feel special. All the staff are very approachable and the manager has an open-door policy and is available to speak to at any time. I am very happy that my wife is in such a caring, clean and friendly home.
My father has been at Marley court since just after New Year 2025, and I honestly cannot thank all of the staff enough for what they have done for my dad. All of the staff are so friendly and so helpful, nothing is too much for anyone. And the care they give for each resident is second to none. And the activities held every day (apart from Sundays) are varied in their nature and are very inclusive of any resident that wants to join in. My dad has progressed towards recovery from an accident in huge leaps and bounds, it's amazing to see how far he has come in just a few months, and alot of that progress can be attributed to the genuinely fantastic staff at Marley Court. Everyone has helped my dad to settle in so quickly, all the staff and residents know him and his cheeky little smile now. My family and I are so glad that we chose Marley Court for the care of my father, and he is so happy there. Thanks again to everyone at Marley.
She has been in now for 8 weeks and she has been the most stable she has been for over 12 months due to the level of care she has received from the home.
She is eating well and loving the variety of food, which has led to her putting on weight. She is always clean and well dressed in her own clothes and looks forward to having her weekly hair appointment with the homes hairdresser.
There are activities most days which I never thought mum would join in but the staff have gently encouraged her to integrate with the other residents at her own pace which is a joy to see.
As a visitor I have been made very welcome by all the staff at all times of the day and it has been lovely to see my mum so settled.
I like to thank a specific member of staff especially for his caring manner towards my mum and also to other staffs who looks after her daily needs since she has been here.
My Father was recently admitted on palliative care. For the 10 days before he passed away he was cared for in the most respectful & thoughtful way. All the staff from the cleaners, carers, kitchen staff & nurses carried out their work with empathy & compassion. They made a very difficult time for our family more bearable for us to go through.
Very happy with the care my Dad is receiving having moved him from another care home in February. Marley Court has a family atmosphere with plenty of activities for residents and the staff are great.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will pass this on to the staff.
Facility and Cleanliness: The facility itself is clean and well-maintained. The common areas are bright and cheerful, with plenty of natural light. My mother's room is always tidy, and the housekeeping staff do an excellent job of keeping everything in order. The gardens are lovely and provide a nice place for residents to get some fresh air and enjoy.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I will pass this on to the staff.
The pleasant, helpful and professional team seem to genuinely love their job and the residents.
On the whole, the home is clean and the bedrooms are undergoing refurbishment.
The services brought in such as hairdressing, chiropody, optical and auditory are efficient and convenient.
As a family, we are so fortunate to have found a place for Mum here.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I will pass this on to the staff.
Mum is happy at Marley Court, it is always very clean and homely with lots of entertainment going on.
Thank you so much for your positive words, I will pass this feedback on to the staff. Take care.
Mum has complex needs which require careful, sympathetic and patient management. The staff at Marley Court are fully in tune with this and go out of their way to make her as happy and comfortable as possible. The family visit every day and so have a good first-hand knowledge of the welcoming and friendly atmosphere and how the home is run. We are very happy with the overall care, attention and support Mum gets on a daily and nightly basis. We also appreciate the Managers, Advanced Practitioners and carers' prompt response to our requests for information and their willingness to 'keep an eye out' for Mum when problems arise. The staff are friendly and proactive in catering for Mum's needs. Nearly every weekday there are activities in the lounge and staff encourage the residents to join in. In the summer residents can chose to sit outside and pet the resident rabbits Bonnie and Clyde.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I will pass this on to the staff. It is always a pleasure to look after your loved ones.
Every member of staff is helpful, friendly and professional, and it's clear that they care deeply about the residents. The home is kept spotlessly clean at all times, there are no unpleasant odours, and the food is nutritious and varied. My mother is always very clean and in fresh clothes, and she likes having her hair done by the visiting hairdresser! Nothing is too much trouble for the staff - she is very well looked after.
We have been very lucky to have her be a resident at Marley Court.
Thank you so much for your feedback, I will pass this on to the staff.
I can only say all the staff here have been nothing short of excellent and kindness itself.
We could not ask for any better service and assistance at this very difficult time for ourselves and our family.
Thank you to all the wonderful team here at Marley Court.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. I will pass this on to the staff.
I really rate this nursing home. My father has dementia and can't walk but the care levels are superb. I can see that they always are thinking of his needs and my dad seems happy. There is always a relaxed atmosphere in the home and visitors are made most welcome.
Thank you for your feedback. It is a pleasure to look after your dad and to know how well he has settled. I will pass the comments on to the staff. Thanks again!
I can honestly say that the care and attention mum has been given has exceeded my expectations.
All the staff in the home go above and beyond!
I have always been made to feel welcome when visiting mum which means a lot and the manager has always had an open door policy should you need to raise any concerns or questions.
I would not hesitate recommending the care home for anyone looking for a loved one.
Thank you for your feedback. I will pass this on to the staff as they are always grateful for positive feedback. We all love doing the job we do and it is always a pleasure when we are trusted to look after your loved ones.

Meet the Team (4)

I have over 20 years’ experience in health and social care, working predominantly with adults living with dementia. For the past four years, I have worked in a management role, where I am passionate about leading teams to deliver high-quality, compassionate support. My main focus is providing person-centred care, ensuring that every individual is treated with dignity, respect, and that their needs, wishes, and life stories remain at the heart of everything we do.
Outside of work, I am a proud Leeds United supporter and a busy family person, with two children, two dogs, a cat (and a very supportive husband!). I am deeply committed to ensuring that residents and their loved ones feel safe, valued, and supported, and I strive to make sure that everyone at Marley Court feels truly at home and at the forefront of life.

With over four years of experience in the care industry, I have developed strong skills in providing high-quality support within nursing home environments. I am CHAPS trained and committed to continually improving my knowledge and practice. I believe that learning never stops—no matter how much we know, there is always more to discover in this world.
I am grateful to Marley Court for the constant opportunities they have given me to grow, develop, and update my skills. Their support has played a significant role in my professional journey, and I truly appreciate it.
Outside of work, I enjoy watching and playing cricket, which keeps me active and motivated.

My name is Kirsty Kelly, and my main role is the housekeeper, which I've been for 2 years. I have 17years of experience being a carer behind me too.
I love what I do and love supporting others around me. I have been at Marley Court for 8 years, and I started as a carer and then moved into housekeeping.
I love spending time at home with my family, my husband, son and dog and also with my little nephew Alfie

I am a passionate and enthusiastic chef with 47 years of experience working in catering. Throughout my career, I have built a reputation for my strong work ethic, commitment to quality, and ability to deliver consistently high standards in fast-paced and demanding environments. I bring extensive knowledge of IDDSI guidelines and have hands-on experience preparing safe, person-centred meals for individuals with modified dietary needs.
My love of Motown music and classic films inspires my creativity and keeps me grounded, while spending time with my grandson, Zach, remains one of the greatest joys in my life. These personal passions shape who I am—both in and out of the kitchen.
With decades of experience, unwavering dedication, and a genuine passion for my craft, I am ready to bring my skills, enthusiasm, and reliability to a team that values excellence and care
