My Mother is extremely happy living at Marham House, where she is treated with kindness, respect & dignity. The staff show genuine care for the residents and are always willing to listen to any concerns or worries that relatives may have. The home itself is welcoming, clean and has a cheerful atmosphere, starts with the warm greeting you receive from the reception staff. It gives me a great peace of mind to know that my Mother is somewhere she feels safe, comfortable and well cared for.

My great nan came to the care home from hospital 3 weeks ago and i can notice how happy she is. She always tells me how amazing the staff are, they are so caring and kind and look after all the residents so well. I really have seen an improvement in Nan since coming in because of how nervous she was to go there but now she wouldn't change it for the world now she loves it so much. All of the staff i have spoken to are so lovely and so welcoming.

I came in for 6 weeks respite care & could not have been looked after any better. Good food, lots of activities happening to keep residents entertained & stimulated. Staff are wonderful & friendly, this is the best care home I have stayed at.

First impressions show spacious and good equipment throughout. Staff are all caring and get to know their patients. Dementia always takes extra attention and my husband has received that. I thank you for the good care he is getting.

I am so impressed with Marham House, the staff so helpful and friendly, but I've noticed just how many there are on each floor, always available for residents. Everything is spotlessly clean, carpets, armchairs, bed covers all immaculate, even paintwork is fresh. Our friend says meals are amazingly tasty and nutritious; we walked to get a cup of tea and I was impressed at the facilities. Drinks available 24 hours, coffee and tea, milk, cake, biscuits, fruit all available for residents. I would certainly be willing to come to Marham House if I was in need of rest and care. All very impressive, clean, good quality - well done staff - you're amazing.

We visit a resident who has had a hip operation (his second one) and resides at Marham House to recover until able to return home. During both sets of visits we have been very impressed with warmth and friendliness of staff, cleanliness of all areas, size of bedrooms. Our friends speaks highly of the quality of the food. We were invited to an open day and had a delicious meal (not specially prepared to impress us, but usual high standard). Well done, all of you.

It must have taken a huge lot of additional work and time to organize the trip and to support the residents during an outing like that. My brother really enjoyed it and we are very grateful for all that the staff do for him which has improved his quality of life so greatly since he moved in 3 years ago, in particular the way he is respected, cared for and valued as an individual has made a massive beneficial difference to him.

Thank you for taking the time to review Marham House and we are pleased that you rate our facilities as excellent. Thank you for your kind comments regarding our home environment and our team, which I will pass on. Our residents' well-being is of utmost importance, and we are committed to providing high quality care.

My aunt has been a resident at Marham House for a month now. She has had a marvellous time, nothing is too much trouble and the staff have been kind and attentive at all times. All the staff know her by name, spend time talking with her and look out for her. The food has been amazing, and as visitors we have enjoyed the tea and cake in the afternoon! When visiting we have always been greeted cheerfully, with an update on our aunt's day. The staff have been available at all times to help and care for her. A dream home!
