My uncle received excellent care from the team at Marley Court. It is a very warm and friendly place. He entered palliative care at the end of March and every member of staff was dedicated to making his final few weeks as comfortable as possible. His friend was allowed to visit with her dogs and that brightened his day. He had a lovely, bright and quiet room. Everywhere was clean and fresh and there were never any unpleasant smells. The staff were also meticulous with my uncle's personal care. He was washed, shaved and dressed in fresh clothes every day. I was asked to label all of his clothing which was not a problem. The staff were very good at updating me on my uncle's condition. On my last visit, I arrived just as my uncle had died and the staff were so kind and compassionate to me at that upsetting time. It is hard to accept that a relative needs nursing home care but I can honestly say that Marley Court made the whole experience as caring as possible.
Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. I will pass this on to all the staff. We always aim to give the highest level of care and all staff are very passionate about what they do. Thankyou for giving us the opportunity to take care of your uncle, it was a pleasure. Take care.
My mum has been at Marley Court for several years, she has a plethora of health conditions including dementia and can be difficult to care for. The staff at Marley know her so well and understand her moods and needs. They are patient and caring and know when we need contacting. The staff manage her medication and health conditions in a concise and professional manner - we are confident that she is safe and cared for. We are allowed to take her little dog to visit her on a regular basis which makes the place more like home. We are happy with the standard of care provided (and the patience of staff when dealing with her ‘difficult wants, needs and requirements’). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone in search of a ‘place to live’ for a loved one.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I will pass this on to the staff.
Marley Court itself has a lovely garden to sit out in summer and a 5-minute walk to take my dad in a wheelchair for ice cream and walk to the canal. Inside the home is very clean never have I been into unpleasant smells. There is a good choice of food and plenty of drinks and snacks throughout the day (and probably at night too but I’m not there to see this).
My dad is very hard to please and really didn’t want to go into a care home but even he says he wouldn’t get better.
Thank you very much for the lovely review. I will make sure I pass this on to the staff, as I know they deserve to hear the lovely feedback.
As a family, we also love the range of activities arranged for the benefit of residents’ mental and physical wellbeing (both in-house and trips out where possible).
Everyone is really hard-working under often challenging circumstances. Well done to you all!
Thank you very much for the lovely review. I will make sure I pass this on to the staff, as I know they deserve to hear the lovely feedback.
Mum has been in Marley court for a number of months. Initially, Mum was very poorly needing lots of care. Staff throughout have been amazing showing they have really got to know and understand Mum's needs. The care has been great which is good to see and I feel I can relax a little knowing mum is safe and well cared for. They know her likes and dislikes and recognise when mum is unwell and know what to do for her. The care team are brilliant with her, often getting smiles from mum when no one else can. The best thing is seeing Mum well looked after and seeing she is happy, thank you.
Thankyou for the positive feedback, I will pass this on to the staff.
Sometimes he would drink so much when we helped him, I am convinced he hadn't had a drink for hours.
From the window could see staff on very regular fag breaks. I could name on one hand the caring staff. Unshaven not wearing a full set of PJs as it was easy for them. No dignity. At the end, one nurse told him to stay still, whilst she tried to do something, he had Parkinson's. To add instant they can't find a lot of his clothes, not even a sorry or reply to calls.
I rely on families to come and see me with any concerns so that I can improve our service and I just wish you had done this so I could have investigated them in an appropriate manner.
I understand you are upset and angry regarding the missing PJ'S. We...
The care and compassion shown to my dad was exemplary by all members of staff. Dad was moved to Marley Court for the final two weeks of his life and he could not have been anywhere better. Likewise the support given to me was exceptional.
Thank you so much, It was a pleasure caring for your dad and I am glad you choose us to look after him and keep him comfortable in his final days. We always put our resident's needs first and the staff are amazing at what they do. Thank you once again and take care.
The end-of-life care for our aunt has been the very best. Our aunt was treated with dignity throughout her stay at Marley Court, and all staff were very attentive to her needs, right to the very end, which meant so much to us. Staff always greeted us warmly, with a ready smile, and nothing seemed too much trouble for them. Despite the sadness of the situation, we will always remember Marley Court with fond memories.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. We're thankful to have been able to care for such a lovely, kind woman, and we're happy you are pleased with the standard of care we provide. Your kind words have been passed on to our dedicated team.
I am always welcomed warmly and feel relaxed and at home here. Mum was a very good cook so it is high praise indeed that she thinks the food is excellent.
Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased that your Mum has settled in so well here at Marley Court and that you're happy with the standard of care. It's great to hear she enjoys the food too! Your feedback has been passed on to our dedicated team.
I particularly appreciate the regular updates on Social Media. Living in Sheffield means I am not able to visit often, but I am always kept updated with what has been going on and what my grandma has been up to which is such a lovely touch.
I would certainly recommend Marley Court for anyone requiring care.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased you're happy with the care and activities provided for your grandma. Your feedback has been passed on to our dedicated team!
I am so pleased about the home of my choice for my husband. He has been a resident for the last few weeks. The staff are absolutely so wonderful and always in good spirits and go the extra mile ie: retrieving a favourite sweater from the laundry.
Thank you very much for the kind words, it's really appreciated. Here's hoping to many more wonderful years here at Marle Court!
It is well managed and has caring staff.
I am happy to have my husband's end of life in their care.
Thank you for the lovely words. It's nice to know that you feel that your husband is being well looked after. We appreciate the kinds words.
My mum has been a resident at Marley Court for 9 years. The staff are hard working and very caring. Since the lifting of lockdown restrictions, my mum has loved all the outings on the minibus. So much effort is made with activities and outings.
My Father-In-Law went into Marley Court Nursing & Residential Home from the hospital knowing he may only have a short time to live. We got told 2-3 weeks he ended up living for 10 weeks with end of life care. The staff were brilliant and one carer became the one looking after him the most. This carer even came to his funeral. As for the management, not too good, one showed hardly any compassion, the other did not even let us know he was in his last hours so we could be there. His daughter had to take the bad news when if they phoned earlier I would have been there for her instead of going to work, that needs addressing.
I found all the staff compassionate and caring. My mum was receiving palliative care which was given with kindness and professionalism. Myself and my family were also treated with kindness and always given information about Mum's health. Nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you so much, Carole, for your lovely review and kind words, this means so much to all of us at Marley Court.
Very attentive and very professional at all times. Highly recommended care provider. They have dealt with my family member incredibly at all times, having arrived in September 2020 during the height of the global pandemic.
A wonderful home from home with the best most caring staff. My grandma came to the home after a sudden decline in health and ability to care for herself. The staff have made her feel dignified and respected during this time.
Mum has been a resident for over 3 months. The care she has received has been first class. The staff try to do everything possible to make Mum comfortable and happy, and keep me informed of any problems or issues.
Thank you for your review Karen, we really appreciate this and are happy to have your mum with us as part of the Marley Court family.
My dear partner was in Marley Court for about 9 months after a few weeks in hospital. He started as a resident and there were plenty of activities offered to both of us. He then went into nursing care after 3 months and then into palliative care. All the staff were wonderful and encouraging to both of us. They were all so caring and looked after both our needs and were so kind to me. I felt that we had joined a lovely family at Marley Court. I stayed there several times and was well looked after. My partner was very happy there and so was I. During these incredibly challenging times the staff went over and above in their care of both of us. Thank you all of you.
Thank you do much Judith for your lovely review and comments. It's so nice to hear we were able to support you and it was wonderful to have you both as part of our Marley family.
My elderly mother arrived at Marley Court after a prolonged stay in hospital following Covid-19 infection. Mum was still unwell and chose not to go back into hospital. Her nursing care switched to palliative care. Throughout Mum was treated with care, respect and dignity. This care was extended to me and my sister during this difficult time.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are happy that we were able to care for your mother during this time and that we were also able to offer support to both you and your sister during this time.

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
