My mum came to Marley Court for nursing care after a long stay in hospital with Covid-19. However, after a few days, Mum moved into palliative care. The staff have been amazing, so caring to Mum and attentive. Similarly, my brother and I have been allowed to stay with Mum, this is our 5th night, the staff again have been so kind and caring. It is a privilege to spend this time with Mum.
Hi Caroline, thank you so much for your lovely review. We are very happy that we were able to offer our support and care to both you and your brother during this time.
I was in Marley Court from February to the 6th of April this year and I can honestly say that I was looked after by the most wonderful and passionate people. Anyone you would know from the cleaners, chefs, entertainment staff, nurses and senior nurses, admin staff, I was looked after by the most incredible people one could wish for, I loved them all.
Hi Diane, thank you so much for your wonderful review of our home. We loved having you with us as part of our Marley Court family and are so very much appreciative of your kind words for all our team.
Went to visit at Christmas and they had a local school singing for them, all the residents and a good number of staff were in watching. The staff were so nice, aiding the residents to enjoy the singing. It was a lovely Christmassy event. I spoke to the girl that organised the event and she told me this is just one of the events that is going on over Christmas and pointed me in the direction of the notice board. They certainly have some exciting and varied events. The staff are always ready with a smile and a greeting whenever I visit.
My dad came to Marley Court from another nursing home. The care at Marley Court has turned his life around. He was so unhappy and unstimulated at the previous home that he had stopped eating and drinking. His improvement at Marley Court was immediate. The warm welcome he received set the scene. The staff have been so kind and caring towards him. His room is lovely with everything he needs, the open areas are attractive and welcoming. The home is always busy so plenty of things for him to see and do. There is a great timetable of activities and entertainment, for the residents and their family. The staff take the time to get to know him as an individual and know his quirks etc. Another thing, probably what he loves the most is the food, his appetite has bounced back crazily! As a family member, I also love the home. They are always very welcoming to us and support us in doing the best for our loved ones.
My friend has been in the Marley Court Home for a while now, I visit when I’m in the area. She is happy and seems well looked after. On my last visit there was a party going on in the garden for a Birthday. It was a lovely day in a lovely setting. The Staff were very attentive making sure all the Ladies and gentlemen were included. I was treated like an old friend and they were so welcoming. The rooms are always clean and tidy. It seems a happy place to be.
Fun activities for residents, staff and family to help celebrate 58th wedding anniversary. Live singer - fabulous entertainment. Enjoyable experience.
Facilities clean, comfortable, homely.
Attend y mother's wedding anniversary with my Dad and family, afterwards entertainment singer very good.
Fun atmosphere, everyone happy with activities.
Staff arranged a thoughtful and lovely afternoon for parents 58th wedding anniversary - live singer,m excellent. Staff dancing with residents, lovely to see mother-in-law so happy and singing along to songs.
My Wife has been at Marley Court for the last 7 weeks and I have found the service marvellous. The care staff are professional and caring and make residents and friends and family feel very welcome. The food is always really good and my wife and I are able to enjoy lunch together. I have great respect for all the staff and the hard work they do.
He is being encouraged to join in with social activities with the recent addition of exciting events. I visited with my daughter during the “meet and stoke small animals“ afternoon in October. The skunk was so soft and not smelly at all. Bingo on Fridays, dogs visit for strokes, visits from Brass Bands and a Christmas fair have all entertained the residents and relatives alike. My Grandpa has the dates in his diary and looks forward to them. I too hope they continue.
Meals are nice. The only thing I would say is they need more entertainment as mum gets bored as I'm sure other residents do but again there isn't enough staff and they can only do so much.
I always say look after your staff and they will give you all they can. Speaking to other resident's relatives, they all say the same. Management very helpful.
Turnover of staff is constant, have met some very good carers. However, have since all left (excluding a small few).
Always appear to be a small amount of staff on for the number of residents then need to see to and this has an effect on the support residents are receiving as a whole. Hardly any activities/trips take place at all.
Mum has now been in Marley Court for 6 months. She was very independent prior to a severe stroke and we have found a caring team at Marley Court trying very hard under difficult circumstances to help her to settle into her new home.
My Mum came to Marley Court on Friday 23rd October 2015, (a little apprehensive if I am honest, leaving her own home) she was welcomed and made to feel very comfortable by all the staff immediately. They were extremely nice to her and very accommodating from this day until her last. They cared for her excellently and when she became more poorly they were there every step of the way for not only my Mum but for the family too. The staff really showed their true colours, they were so nice, friendly, professional and helpful I cannot begin to say how good they actually were. From accommodating us when we were there with Mum, to regular updates and checks to see that Mum was comfortable, they are an outstanding team. I will gladly recommend this care home to anyone in a similar position or in need of care, be it residential or nursing. Excellent, well done and thank you so much for making Mums time with you pleasant, nice and comfortable. Keep up the good work, please.
On behalf of all the staff at Marley Court I would like to thank you for this review. Your Mum was a lovely lady and will be missed by us all. Myself and the staff work very hard to deliver excellent care to all the Residents in our home and comments like this make it very worthwhile to know we are appreciated.
Marley Court is the nicest home I have visited. The staff are professional and treat residents as individuals and nothing is too much trouble, they go that extra mile to ensure their residents needs are met. Whatever time you visit the home is always very welcoming and calm. I just wish my dad could have been at Marley Court longer. Many thanks for all you did.
My mum has been at Marley Court since July 2012 following a massive stroke at age 68 in March 2012. Staff are lovely - kind, hard-working, friendly and caring. Management are approachable and reactive. The home is very clean and never smells. My mum is not over keen on food at times but she does have unusual tastes! Food we see being served always looks tasty. Lovely home - can visit at any time. Highly recommended.

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
