Review from Michael S (Son of Resident) published on 16 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Not sure what the staff to patient ratio should be but at times it seems under staffed. The carers seem to spend most of the time dishing out food and drinks, less enforcement on carrying out care. More checks are needed to empty the catheter bag and systems in place to dispose of dirty and soiled laundry.
In general it feels more like a residential home than a care home.
Reply from Marietta Cranfield, Manager at Marsh Farm Manor Care Home

My aunt came to Marsh Farm Manor for respite care and has been so happy she has decided to stay long term. All the team are so helpful and friendly and the facilities are great. She loves the decoration of her room and being able to see out into the garden. Im so pleased she is happy and safe in a really
happy and friendly environment.

My time at Marsh Farm Care Home has been on the whole excellent. The staff are marvellous. The food is great. Apart from a little weakness in the activities dept, I haven't felt too bored. Sadly though I still miss my home and it does hurt a lot. Because of this, I am making tentative arrangements to
go home and have care from a company of carers and friends. It may not work out but I will give it my best shot. I will miss you all very much, but at the same time, I feel excited about being home and would love you all to visit.
I thank you all for the love and care you have shown me during my time here.

The worst care home I have ever been in was like being in a prison. Unfriendly, unhelpful staff.
I would describe it as a cheap hotel with security guards.
Made to feel very unwelcome. Patients treated like children, unnecessary.

Mum has been at Marsh Farm since June of this year. She has settled in well and the surroundings are always immaculate, clean, and tidy throughout, and no complaints from mum. All the staff are amazing going above and beyond to deal with any queries that I may have and I personally can't recommend this
care home enough. Excellent work to the manager and the team at Marsh Farm.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Respite care was for me my salvation towards recovery in a beautiful yet functional building known as Marsh Farm Manor Care Home. The present team of carers have been welded into a very good, supportive body of men and women of all nationalities. They have both time and ability, giving me the environment
that I felt safe in, as my health changed towards returning to normal living. The variety and excellent quality of food, helped by the care of hair, feet, mental health and entertainment all helped me in my early struggle of mental anguish. I return a better man because I entered these portals full of expectation and was not disappointed. Thank you.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The lady on reception was very welcoming and helpful on booking in and leaving and checked the facilities for any maintenance work required. I was able to point out that a table just needed a part mending. I was surprised to see a bar but that no fitness facilities were present, such as exercise equipment
or a pool. I was disappointed that there was no bottled water available for lunch or herbal/caffeine-free teas. The lunch was not very appetising and very old style and would benefit from being healthier and more cosmopolitan. However, overall a well thought out and good standard of accommodation and service.
Reply from Marietta Cranfield, Home Manager at Marsh Farm Manor Care Home

Thank you for your feedback it is gratefully received. We are pleased you are happy overall with Marsh Farm Manor. Our homes are purpose built with residents and their needs in mind, we offer a varied exercise and activities schedule which our residents can join in if they choose. These are planned with our residents wishes taken into account. We are more than happy to supply caffeine free/herbal tea options for our residents if these are requested. We do try to avoid bottled water in order to reduce our carbon footprint and to remain aligned with our sustainability goals in our business plan. Water is available 24/07 as our residents request or as needed. The menus are created with our residents input, we hold monthly residents meetings and the upcoming menu items are discussed and decided upon. We offer regular themed nights so our residents can taste something new if they wish. We pride ourselves on offering a good selection of freshly cooked nutritious meals.

Mum was transferred straight from hospital to Marsh Farm Manor, a new care home in the area. Beautifully furnished with all the facilities you could wish for, lovely quality rooms, mum had a pressure sore from the hospital, they ordered a special air-controlled mattress for her the next day. The food
is exceptional, she is now eating three nutritious meals a day after hardly anything in the hospital. The doctor and nurse have already seen her, the staff are amazing from the hardworking manager to all the carers. Can't praise all of them enough, such a relief.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment we entered the premises, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff members are not only professional but also display genuine compassion and empathy.
The facilities at Marsh Farm Manor are outstanding. The rooms are spacious and clean and are thoughtfully designed
to create a comfortable and homely environment. The dining experience is exceptional, the communal dining areas provide a lovely opportunity for the residents to socialise and enjoy meals together, creating a sense of community and camaraderie.
One aspect that stands out is the personalized care provided to each resident, the staff take the time to understand the needs and preferences of each person and take care to offer support while fostering a sense of dignity and respect.
I would not hesitate to recommend Marsh Farm Manor to anyone looking for a caring place for their relative.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.663)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.663) out of 10 for Marsh Farm Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.663 for Marsh Farm Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 255 Ratings = 4.663
  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 Marsh Farm Manor Care Home is based on 21 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
