The team at Marham House have been amazing in helping my mum to transition from her own home. It's a difficult time for all the family but they have worked with care, compassion and cheerfulness to help her to settle in. The facilities at the home are fantastic.

The Marham House family are a very large part of Dad's and our lives. They are kind, caring, always helpful to Dad and all the other residents. Thank you for the very smooth room change. Dad's settling in well, he was keen to be on the ground floor like ourselves and the team and management helped his wishes come true. Thank you to everyone.
My thoughts are very very impressed all around with the property. Very nice!

Marham House Care Home has improved to no end since the new manager arrived. She and the staff are professional in their approach. They care about the residents and take pride in helping the resident folk and the home in general. There is a warm welcome whenever we arrive to visit Mum and the manager is always happy to listen to any suggestions. I feel happy knowing Mum is now in the best place for her and me.
Thank you so much for your kind words. My team have worked hard to welcome me into the home and to help me to settle in. I am delighted that you are happy with the care that we are providing. Over the past couple of months, we have formed a tight-knit, supportive team with one common goal, to provide outstanding care. It is great to know that we are on the right track.

Thank goodness for the new manager, appointed January 2024. She has made an enormous beneficial change in a short period, in the face of huge inherited problems. The home is now properly managed so that residents are treated with respect and their needs are well managed by carer staff without favour or previously displayed malice. Staff appear more motivated to do an excellent job of caring and identifying when residents need specific attention. Keep up these improvements and it will be second to none in the area, with excellent facilities and kindness shown at every opportunity. Truly, well done for providing such a comfortable place for residents to feel secure and happy.
Thank you for your kind words. It is wonderful to receive such glowing feedback. I am very proud of my team and the way in which they have welcomed me into the home. It is reassuring to know that you are pleased with my running of the home, I am grateful that you took the time to share your views.
We have found Marham House Care Home to be an efficient, caring business with high standards in the home and of all the staff. We are extremely pleased with the service we have received.

My mother stayed at Marham on a 4 week trial but was given notice to leave after 2 weeks. The reason given was her night shouting for help, which disturbed residents. No effort was made by management to find out the reasons for the shouting i.e speaking to a GP, she was just asked to leave. The care home she is in now have managed to address the problem after only 1 week. It was connected to pain management at night, something Marham could easily have investigated. I'm very disappointed in Marham House as a care home.
Thank you for your feedback, we are very sorry that you were upset by the decision taken, we do not take these decisions lightly and do everything that we can to meet the needs of our residents. If you wish to discuss this further, my door is always open.

My mother had a month respite care following an operation - she was welcomed into the home and made friends - nothing was too much trouble for the staff. On her return home, she realised that she needed this help and has returned as a permanent resident. The staff made the transition for both her and us in a kind and thoughtful manner. Staff make time to be with the residents and always addressing them by name. Marham House Care Home is clean and welcoming and is a credit to the team working here.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear that both you and your mother are happy with the care provided here at Marham. Thank you for choosing us.
