Review from Pauline B (Sister of Resident) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My sister has complex needs, this means that she requires a lot of care.
Spoke with the manager and arranged a visit. My first thought on my visit was how lovely all the staff and management were. So after I had a look around and finally getting the funding for my sister to move in. The staff couldn't do enough to help me to arrange my sister's move and the Manager even went to the care home where my sister was staying to get her medication and care plans that hadn't been given to me. Since moving my sister to Marmaduke she is becoming more relaxed and has really taken to the staff, all the staff are friendly very welcoming and knowledgeable about my sister's complex needs. There is activities daily and staff try to engage my sister into doing activities. I highly recommend Marmaduke, it is a fabulous run Home with staff who go out there way to give my sister and other residents the best possible life they can have. Marmaduke is bright, spacious and an inviting place to live.

Review from Joanne L (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 13 December 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My brother-in-law was moved from another home within the company to be closer to his family.
Marmaduke is fabulous, it is clean, the food is amazing, the staff are well-trained and very approachable and happy in their workplace. The home offers activities which adapt to all individuals living in the home. His bedroom at Marmaduke is beautiful, he has all his own pictures in there which makes it homely, put up by the home's handyman who is fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. All the service users seem really happy when we visit and the staff are all outstanding.
My brother-in-law is always treated with dignity and respect, staff always go above and beyond, from the management to the housekeeping.

Review from J M (Relative of Resident) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The service is nothing but A1 from pre-admission to the quality of transfer to the home. Each and every one of the staff within the home goes above and beyond to care for my family member to above and beyond standards. I could not wish for a better service and feel safe leaving my family member in your care. The hygiene standards are very high standard and always feels homely. As a family, we feel very informed of everything. Couldn't wish for a better home. Every member of staff, from management to care to domestic, hats off to you.

Review from Ian N (Husband of Resident) published on 8 August 2022 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I cannot speak highly enough of the friendly staff and management at Marmaduke. When I visit my wife's bedroom, and the home is always clean and tidy. The quality of care and support my wife receives is excellent. It makes my life away from her a little easier to bear, knowing she is well looked after. If I even became full, like my wife, this is the place I would want to be!

Review from Sandra C (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 September 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Since my dad went into the home in May he has settled so well and looks so much better physically. I believe this is because of the excellent care he is receiving now from the caring helpful staff. They do activities with Dad and make him smile, along with taking excellent care of his health needs with great professionalism. I feel much happier myself as I do not need to worry about my dad as he is being very well looked after. Thank you to all of the staff.
↩Reply from Jenna Wood, Marketing Manager at Marmaduke
