Mum lived on the Haven at Mere Hall for the last two and half years of her life. We couldn't have chosen a better care home for mum to spend her final years in. It is a beautiful home but most importantly it always felt like we were walking into mum's home when we visited. We always felt welcome when
we visited and the atmosphere was friendly with lots of smiles from both staff and residents. The range of activities that took place was amazing and always planned with the wishes of the residents taken into account. Mum had a specialised diet and this was catered for brilliantly, always considering mum and her wishes. Every member of staff provided caring and compassionate care and support to mum who had advanced dementia and was immobile. This included everyone from carers to housekeeping, activities and catering along with all other members of staff including admin and management. We can't thank everyone at Mere Hall enough for their care and support. Thank you!

It was our pleasure to care for your mum, she was a wonderful person, always a delight. It was changing bedrooms from the Haven to the top floor for her in the last few weeks was the right thing to do…read more

This Care home is excellent. It is well staffed and well managed. The food is good. It caters well for residents who have various stages of Dementia and end of life care too. My Mother has been there for nearly 4 years and it has been a difficult journey at times but Mere Hall has provided lots
of help and I personally do not think I could have found a better place for Mum. Like all organisations things can sometimes not work, but Mere hall always tries to sort out any issues promptly and sensibly. They have coped with Covid and other issues of a similar nature really well and have a positive attitude to staff recruitment and retention, which is important in the care industry. If you are looking for a care home in this area I would not hesitate to suggest a visit.

My Uncle chose this care home after his wife died. They have looked after him excellently as he deteriorated quickly and ended up needed a vast amount of personal care.
They gave him a wonderful birthday party in December and took him to the pub with the other men. He ended up in hospital and the
care at the hospital was nothing like he was getting at the home. When it was realised he would not get any better he was transferred back to the home. If it had not been for the staff working hard to get him back I think he would not have been here now.
The staff all care for the residents that is from the cleaning staff, kitchen staff, care staff up to the managers.
They are proactive in making a difference for the residence at all times.
They Value their dignity and they are treated with respect at all times.

My Dad went into mere hall from Dec 2024 - Feb 2025 for the last 7 weeks of his life. Managers seniors, health care assistants, domestic team, laundry, activity's staff, cooks, maintenance are utterly amazing in their own ways. Everyone showed care, compassion & dignity to him, from popping in to say
a simple good morning or just to ask how he was. The care itself is second to none, Towards the end of his life we always knew & said we would be their until the end, Mere Hall gave me & my daughter the chance to be by his side for the last 48 hours until he sadly passed away. As Family we felt welcomed, supported, guided & well looked after, with no pressure to leave. We can not thank the staff at Mere Hall enough for all the care, compassion & understanding that they provided. Each went above & beyond not just for my dad but for us to. The home itself is beautiful with a real home from home feel, clean warm, comforting with a care family that make a difference to all, Thank you.

Everyone at Mere Hall looked after my sister for the last eight weeks of her life. She was treated with dignity, respect and genuine loving care at all times in the most comfortable of surroundings. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. My sister was unable to leave her room and they even
arranged for her to have a fully decorated Christmas tree to enjoy over the Christmas period. Thank you to all those who directly knew and looked after her, you know who you are and I will be eternally grateful to each and every one of you.
Thank you too for always making me and my wife feel welcome every time we visited. You really are the best!

What an amazing place it's like walking into a five-star hotel.
My mother is a resident at Mere Hall care home and it has to be said what amazing teamwork there is from the receptionist who is always happy and smiling and eager to help up to the manager who puts in a big effort to keep us all informed
on how things are going and is very involved in the care my mother receives.
My mother has been quite poorly lately but they all pulled together and got her through the worst phases of it to bring her back to her old self which I thought we would never see you again and we know has not been an easy task for them.
The carers have been fabulous and are more than eager to help with a constant smile.
I love the fact that every time I have been there I have been offered tea or a coffee by the staff.
I would like to thank all the staff members for their contributions to making it a great place to be for my mother including the chef because the food looks lovely.

My Mum came into Mere Hall Care Home on Tuesday the 10th of September. She seems to have settled in better than we could have imagined. Mum looks so happy, comfortable, and calm. All the staff are extremely attentive and reassuring. Already my Mum looks healthier and destressed, my sister and I are
confident our Mum will be looked after well and cared for with her complex needs which thankfully are now being met.

Dad has been a resident at Mere Hall Care Home for 2 1/4 years before his death.
He was very happy, loved the staff and they loved him. During the last two weeks of his life he deteriorated quite quickly and the staff and management were wonderful. His room was made special with soothing music and
special lighting, all very calming.
The home is always immaculate, residents rooms very comfortable and good choice of food at meal times for residents able to participate on and an extensive entertainment programme is available. I would recommend Mere Hall to anyone.

The care and attention my dad received was second to none. Beautiful, clean room, excellent food and wonderful staff. He was having a residential respite stay following a fall. Despite his initial concerns about having to stay away from home, he has nothing but praise for everything. Thank you all so

My mum stayed in this wonderful home for 8 weeks respite care following a long stay in hospital. Her health and mobility improved considerably whilst in their care. The facilities are amazing and the staff go over and above to ensure their residents are well looked after. I can’t imagine any other care
home to be better than this. It really is five-star. Thank you.

Weekly visits are a pleasure. Helpful reception and all nurses say hello. My relative is safe and cared for. Mere Hall Care Home offered some fantastic dementia training which was appreciated.
Work hard to help residents keep their independence and great hairdressing/beauty service.
My grandma is
needing additional support and this is being cared for. There have been a few comments about the food being very similar and not to the high standards it once was but I am unable to determine if this is due to old age!

Since our mother arrived at Mere Hall in September 2022 until her passing in November 2023, the care she’s received has been exemplary. This was especially the case during the final weeks of her life. The staff went above and beyond to make her final days as comfortable as possible. This support also
extended to the family. This made the experience much less distressing and helped us come to terms with the unfolding situation.
We can’t thank the staff enough for everything they’ve done.

My father went to stay for respite at Mere Hall Care Home following a 2 month hospital stay, I cannot thank the staff enough for the kindness and support they have shown Dad during his stay.
The home is beautiful, peaceful and extremely well run, nothing is too much trouble. It was the perfect place
for my father to rest and recuperate. Dad has now been able to return home but would not hesitate to return in the future for respite or on a permanent basis if necessary.

My father and his wife have been residents of Mere Hall for over a year now. Last week my father began end-of-life care. I just wanted to acknowledge the total care and support that every single member of the team gave to myself and my siblings, my dad and his wife. I cannot praise Mere Hall enough.
They were all so attentive to my father's needs that nothing was too much trouble. When he needed medical attention, the staff made sure that contact was made and a visit organised; they were persistent!
We spent a huge amount of time at the Hall during the last few days, and the care and support we received were second to none. My father's wife is 95 and was heartbroken and frail; she received constant care and attention, with everybody being very aware of her needs.
I want to thank everybody at Mere Hall on behalf of all our family for the very sincere attention and genuine care we all received; it made such a difference to us and made my dad's last days as good as they could be. Thank you.

Mum has lived in Mere Hall for almost 2 years.
Mere Hall manages compromise (of funds, supplies, staff etc) without loss of quality. That reminds me of a Hoover advert 'no loss of suction even when full' or something like that! (Mum was excellent at hoovering, she sought perfection!) This saying is
similar regarding Mum's care and happiness because Mere Hall manages to deliver the best care for her even when stretched to their limits with resources, during covid and current UK difficulties that we all have. Surely this can only be achieved if each staff member really cares and there is good leadership at all levels. I wish this was the standard for all care homes, available to everyone. Well done to you all and thank you.
I would recommend Mere Hall to any person in need or just wondering.

Mere Hall Care Home accepted my Dad for respite care, at home he was struggling, and so were the family, we needed time to set up his house to try and enable him to remain at home and independent.
My immediate reaction was what a lovely place, clean, open plan and just unlike any home I had viewed.
After three weeks there was a remarkable improvement in my Dad, both visibly and mentally, he was so much more interactive, talked about the people he met there, how nice the food was, how nice the staff were, impressed with his new hair cut!
My experience with all the staff I interacted with was excellent, so friendly, caring, if I asked a question they went out of their way to help, this was from the catering staff to the carers and management.
We will have to see how my dad gets on but I would not hesitate to let him return there.
If you are putting your loved one into care, you have to be sure it’s right and I want to review this home to give others the confidence to be able to do this

My Dad is ninety-one years old and has been a resident at Mere Hall Care Home for almost two years. He has advanced Alzheimer’s, no mobility at all, plus several other health issues but thanks to the dedication, professionalism, respect and compassion shown by everyone involved in his care, he is pain-free
and content living in Mere Hall.
Mere Hall is an exceptional place, it’s not unlike a rather smart hotel, Dad’s en-suite room is just perfect for him. It really is very different from any other care home I’ve seen and dare I say it, it doesn’t have the slightest hint of that all too familiar care home smell.
It’s the people who work there that really make Mere Hall special though, from housekeeping and maintenance, carers and cooks, the amazingly inspired activities coordinators, management and more, they all work as a team to provide the best service they can. My sister and I couldn’t wish for a better place for Dad to spend his final years.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Mere Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.916 for Mere Hall is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.916
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mere Hall is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

I firmly believe that continuity of care and strong leadership are key to the stability we have created within the team at Mere Hall. Leading by example is at the heart of my role, and I am committed to fostering a positive atmosphere where every colleague feels supported and differences are respected.


My favourite part of the day is always the personal interactions with everyone I work with. I love being face-to-face with residents, visitors and colleagues. These moments make a big difference, especially for those who are new to the home.


I achieved my MSc in Public Management, following on from my Registered Manager’s Award and NVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care. Before joining Care UK, I worked as a Quality Assurance Manager for another care home provider, gaining valuable experience in maintaining and improving high standards of care.


My biggest career highlights include opening a new home during the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic - a huge challenge that I now see as a real achievement - and supporting colleagues to grow and progress their careers with confidence.


Outside of work, I enjoy family holidays in our touring caravan, keeping fit, and I’m looking forward to welcoming a new puppy soon.
