We had a very positive experience right from our initial enquiry with the manager. She took the time to discuss and fully understand our mother's potential care needs. Recently our mother transitioned from hospital to Marham House Care Home and this was handled seamlessly. The manager, together with her team of carers and the lifestyle team, were able to understand and adapt very quickly to our mother's needs to ensure she felt welcomed and at ease. In a very short period of time they were patiently, competently and intuitively able to ensure that our mother felt safe, understood, listened to and respected. Our mother has been encouraged and able to engage in some of her former hobbies in very comfortable and appealing surroundings and we have noticed a wonderful upswing in her vitality and positivity. Nothing is ever too much trouble and there are a variety of daily activities on offer including a hairdresser and movie nights which have also enhanced our mother's well being.

A most enjoyable evening (Oscars award night), well planned and all the hard work it required ensured it went well. Enjoyed by all present, all the recipients were worthy winners. I hope the applause also told them how much we, the residents, appreciate all their hard work and dedication. A delightful evening rivalling anything Hollywood can do.
It's amazing to receive such wonderful feedback and encouragement to our incredibly caring, dedicated team who strive to ensure our residents are smiling every day; directly from a resident. This feedback will be a joy to share with our amazing team; and we look forward to arranging another spectacular event for our team and residents!

Throughout my stay, I was particularly conscious of the consistently high standard of care/support provided by the manager and staff. The staff were proactive to all the individual needs for the residents.
I could see that the home provided a safe and peaceful haven for the mostly elderly residents under its care.
I enjoyed the evening very much, especially as I personally knew few people. In my opinion, we are a most amicable and various group. Friendly, characterful, funny!
Food and drink are good.
The time seemed to pass so quickly.
I hope we have another gathering soon.

Marham House is unlike any normal care home, it is like entering a very smart hotel. The ambience and facilities are amazing. We needed care for my mother who has dementia and the staff were so caring and were very quick to understand her needs and helped her to settle in. They worked with us to make this transition so much easier than we ever imagined. I cannot recommend Marham House, the managers and staff highly enough.

My Gran moved into this Care Home last month as she had started to struggle doing general day-to-day activities at home. I'm not local enough to support my Gran; so wanted to find a suitable place for my Gran to live safely. Marham House supported us very quickly. We couldn't visit but were given access to the brochure and a virtual tour which helped see the home and understand what they can offer. They were able to complete an assessment with me over the phone and once everything was in place, Gran was able to move within a couple of days! Since Gran has been there I have had lots of contact. It's lovely to see, and speak with Gran regularly and see how much she's enjoying her time there and ask about her time. I can't wait to visit her and taste some of the great food she tells me about! My review is based on the images, and videos I have seen, and the feedback my Gran tells me.

Thank you so much, Daniel, for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate this is a difficult time as we're only able to offer limited visits at the moment. We're so pleased to hear however you're finding our communication channels to be satisfactory and still achieve regular contact with your Gran. We will always strive to ensure you're involved as much as possible; and will be incredibly pleased when we can open our doors properly and invite you to join us and sample our lovely food!
Outstanding facilities and staff. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The senior carer is extremely good at keeping my family versed in my condition during my stay.
