My mum has settled well into Malin Court. She has a really good relationship with all staff and we recognise this when we see how my mum and staff interact with each other. She enjoys going on the outings with picnics or ice cream etc. Activities are also good and staff ensure everyone is involved ( that want to) the staff take into account my mums and other residents favourite things like music singing and dancing animals and they incorporate these into the planning of activities and visits from outside organisations. The food is amazing and my mum is eating a healthy and varied diet which the chefs will change or alter to suit her needs or preference. Overall , Malin court is a lovely care home which has a great atmosphere and family feel to it. Staff see my mum for the beautiful person she really is and not a person with dementia. I recommend it to other families.
This has been a difficult time for my aunt. In addition to having to adjust to a change in living arrangements and lifestyle as a result of entering care, she has also had the trauma of unexpectedly losing her husband after more than 60 years of marriage.
The team at Malin Court have been truly exceptional!
Staff are warm, understanding. comforting and professional. They continually put my aunt at ease with their caring, friendly support and attentive care. This is a great comfort to the wider family.
On behalf of the family, I also wish to extend special thanks to the entire Malin Court team for their help and support in allowing us to manage my uncle's funeral in such a way that we could fully accommodate my aunt. Again, exceptional!
Thank you for your feedback. It fills us with pride to hear such kind words about the caring, nurturing, and compassionate team at Malin Court.
We are pleased that you have felt supported, as we strive to care for families as well as residents. Thank you again, and please remember our door is always open.
My Dad has been a resident of Malin Court since April 2025 and the positive change I have seen in him is remarkable. He has vascular dementia and he has become far more content and happy at Malin Court than staying at home on his own. He's always smiling and singing. The staff are so welcoming and caring and make sure he is well looked after and cared for. The fact his dementia is progressing and he knows that there's always someone there for him if he needs is such a relief for me to know he's safe and well looked after. The food is exceptional and not a lot of care homes can provide the restaurant atmosphere and choice of dishes to maintain independence that Malin Court provides.
The staff are very kind and always have time to chat to the residents. They are good at sharing information if your loved one hasn't been feeling well or behaving differently. The entertainment offered is lovely and everyone is encouraged to join in. The standard of food offered is high and plenty of choice. I am very happy with Malin Court .
Her room is comfortable, clean and the food is of a good standard. There are plenty of activities each week for those who wish to and can participate but unfortunately mum is of an age where this is no longer the case.
I have always found the staff to be pleasant and helpful and I am confident in their care for Mum. I get called with updates on mum and her care, if she is unwell or if she needs anything brought in when I next visit.
Happy Gran, happy Grandson!
A big thank you to all the staff of Malin Court.
As for myself, I have always found his apartment and general areas always very clean and tidy, and the staff have a warm and friendly attitude towards us both. They keep me well informed if there are any problems, which makes the establishment perfect for our needs!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so glad to hear your friend is doing well and most of all, happy at Malin Court. Thanks again, Renaissance Care
Very happy with my mother's care since she moved in in October 2022. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The accommodation is very comfortable. I have seen an improvement in my mother's overall condition since she entered the care home.
Thank you for your review and we're delighted your mum is enjoying her stay and keeping well. Thanks again, Renaissance Care
The food menu looks good and there is a friendly atmosphere.
Only one room for improvement, during the covid out break it was very difficult to communicate through the windows that only open a few inches. A summer house or some such structure would help.
Thank you for your review and for your suggestion, we will take this on board. Much appreciated, Renaissance Care
My step-mother has lived at Malin Court Care Home for several years and the care, attention and support of the staff has been exemplary. They have always been very good at keeping me informed of her situation and always seem happy to talk even when they must be exceptionally busy. I am delighted that she chose to move to this particular home which I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a long-term retirement plan.
Thank you for your review and we're delighted to hear how happy you, and your step-mother, are with your experience at Malin Court. Very best wishes, Renaissance Care
A great care home. The staff were all lovely. The lady on reception did a great job. My mother had a lovely room with a nice view. The food was good, and while she didn't take part in the daily activities, the team did a great job of having different activities each day. The staff were professional, polite and courteous.
My 86-year-old mum stayed at Malin Court for respite care for a week. From our initial booking until the end of her stay, nothing was too much for the staff. Wonderful, spacious rooms, friendly and supportive staff and a beautiful location made Mum's stay a pleasure and she can't wait to go back. Yes, it was expensive, however, I had a break too, knowing she was in safe hands. I would thoroughly recommend Malin Court.
