I always find the staff friendly and willing to help day or night - all know Mum and are kind to her.

I always find the staff friendly and willing to help day or night - all know Mum and are kind to her. I would like to know what Mum gets up to all day - I never know as she cannot tell me and sometimes I think she misses things. I also expected her to be taken on more outings so I am disappointed she is never taken out. I would also like her to be taken on walks when I am away - this keeps her fit and is a big benefit to her I feel.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. I am happy to hear that you find my team friendly and willing to help, I am proud of the care that they offer. I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed regarding the outings. I will be in touch to discuss this with you.

Why I'm writing this review is why the staff are excellent whilst looking after the residents and visitors and it is second to none. They always make you feel most welcome when arrive at the care home and I will keep writing every review available and my review will never change. I also will mention the reception staff when you arrive through the doors.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we are very proud of Marham House and the dedicated team, it is always wonderful to receive such positive feedback.

Thank you for your review! We are more than happy to address any issues regarding food that you may have. We are so glad you love Marham House and our staff.
Would prefer more male residents, but that is no fault of the home.

Very warm welcome when I arrived, all the staff are very friendly. My friend's room is very nice. We were offered a drink as soon as we sat down in the lounge.

Very warm welcome when I arrived, all the staff are very friendly. My friend's room is very nice. We were offered a drink as soon as we sat down in the lounge. A lovely surprise, we had a young man with his guitar sing some lovely old songs. I believe this happens regularly and I was lucky to visit on his day here. The care given to my friend is excellent. Thank you to all the staff, the Marham House Care Home is like walking into a luxury hotel.

My mum has been a resident for three months. Plenty of time to really get a feel for the place. She settled in very quickly and is very happy. The accommodation is like a really expensive cruise ship, even down to the daily entertainment sheet. The staff are amazing. Friendly, happy and helpful. I cannot believe that we found such an amazing care home. It must be the best in the country.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review of our care home, we are very proud of the team here at Marham, they are a real asset to the home and the relationships that they have formed with our residents are a joy to witness. We really are like one big extended family. We are also very fortunate to have such a wonderful, modern environment. It is often commented that it has the feel of an upmarket hotel, being a purpose-built home, a lot of care has gone into providing the facilities that we all enjoy. Your review made me smile and I know that the team will smile too when I read this to them.
Everyone is really friendly and supportive.
Grandma seems very happy and settled.

I am always grateful for the kindness and care shown to my aunt. Staff are polite, considerate and friendly. The environment is clean, tidy and smells great at all times - a real bonus, believe me. Thank you so much.

The staff are always welcoming and helpful. Mum is content and enjoys all the activities, which are imaginative and stimulating. Mum is well cared for. The staff are respectful, observant and professional, but also warm and caring too.

In particular, the wonderful daily activities that are organised make a real difference on my mother's life-quality and happiness, which is so comforting for residents' families to see day in, day out on social media.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very proud of our activity schedule and it is good to hear that you and Mum are happy with what we do. I shall pass your feedback on to the team.

Following the experience of two care homes, Marham Care Home is a refreshing change. All aspects, that is those I encountered, were excellent. I would draw special attention to the manager, her team and the individual rooms. Public rooms were most attractive, including the library, dining room and entrance hall. Residents seemed happy and settled - a real treat compared to very different contexts I have met. The range of facilities is good and the weekly activities list is varied and there is much to choose from. Links with the local hospital are very good.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It is always lovely to receive such positive feedback. I will pass your comments on to the team, I know they will be delighted to hear them.
Nothing was too much trouble.
Ethos of the home carried out by all staff.
An absolute joy to find such an enlightened Care Home.

Thank you for taking the time to submit this review. We are delighted to receive such positive feedback, the team at Marham House are dedicated to providing the highest level of care and reviews such as this are gratefully received and mean an awful lot.
Care Home - does not do justice to how all staff supported and helped Mum in her final weeks. It became Mum's and our home with immense care and love.

We are so grateful to receive this lovely review and would like to thank you for your time to share your feedback and for allowing us to be part of Mum's journey. Our team will be so touched to receive this feedback, thank you again for your kind words. Sending warmest wishes to you and your family.
Staff are so diligent, nothing is too much bother for them. They are so caring and considerate both to myself and my husband. The building itself is out of this world. My husband was so happy while he was there, it was heartwarming to see.

Thank you so much for your kind review of our home. We work incredibly hard to provide our residents with a home from home experience, and our team will be so pleased to hear your feedback.

Superlatives such as brilliant, terrific, marvellous are so often bandied around that they often lose their effectiveness in the case of Marham House, from the management team through to all who cared for my husband on his recent respite those superlatives and more absolutely apply. I have no hesitation based on how happy he was with his care to recommend Marham House. Five stars.
I am blown away by this experience! I am so blessed to have you guys in my life - what this means - absolute peace for the responsibility you have taken away from me. Your care for my mum. The security of knowing she is loved accepted and nurtured every moment of every day is a treasured thing.
