Martlet Manor

My mother urgently needed a short stay at the Martlet Manor to give herself some much-needed respite care for a few weeks following a difficult period with her health. The Customer Relations Manager was contacted and was quick to assist in finding a suitable room and get her moved in. My mother had previously stayed for a similar period earlier in the year and was very keen to return to the same facility. It was a nice surprise to discover that she would be returning to the same room as before which has made the move very un-stressful for my mother and she has quickly settled in. I'd like to thank the team at Martlet Manor for their support and kind professional care that they are providing, it means a lot to me knowing my Mother is happy and well looked after.

Our mother has only been in the home for just under a week and wow what a difference we have seen in her already. For someone who never wanted to be in a home, when we showed her Martlet Manor she seemed so excited about being a resident and wanted to go there as her first choice. She has made some friends already and we cannot fault the amazing staff that work so hard and make my mother feel so welcome. For a long time we have done nothing but worry about her health and safety at home but now that has been taken care of at Martlet Manor. We absolutely love it there for her and highly recommend.

My Dad moved into Martlet Manor after the death of my Mum. He quickly settled in and grew to love it there! The staff were wonderful and he really enjoyed joining in with all of the activities, I have a year's worth of wonderful memories of him living near me. When his life was nearing an end the care and kindness we all received was second to none. My thanks go to the whole team.

My mother was one of the first residents of Martlet Manor and lived there for over two and a half years. During that time she received excellent care from staff and had some favourite activities from among the many and varied options on offer. It was great to see her make friends and benefit from increased social contact, after having been quite isolated during the latter years of her independent life. The cafe and outdoor space meant that visiting was always a pleasant experience. Staff were very vigilant of her health, keeping me informed of any concerns, and I never had any doubt that she was in safe hands.

My friend has been at Martlet Manor for eight months now. When they arrived very frail and confused having got to the point of not being able to look after herself, she has improved so much. Because of the wonderful care she has 24/7. There is always someone to talk with, and the coffee shop is an amazing place to go for drinks and cake. The staff bend over backwards to help and go that extra mile. The building and rooms are large, bright and beautifully decorated.

Earlier this year, we took the decision to move our 92-year-old Mum from her existing care home into Martlet Manor, in order to be nearer to Dad's flat. We realised the change might not be easy for her as she was very settled in her routine but Mum soon engaged with the idea. We had very good dealings with the Customer Service team who went out of their way to facilitate the move for us. The care home is so bright and welcoming as you enter and Mum's patio room is very comfortable. The communal cafe is an absolute highlight (as are the homemade cakes) and Mum has already enjoyed entertaining her visitors in there. We have each eaten with Mum in the ground floor dining room and have found the food to be excellent. Mum has been stimulated and entertained by all the exciting events and activities open to her (she is still talking about the man with his electric ukele). Thanks to all the staff, particularly the Activities team, who have gone out of their way to make Mum feel so at home.

I also very much appreciate that the home manager is easily accessible, and feel that if I had a concern I could and would raise it. We took great care in choosing this home from lots available and regularly say how glad we are that my uncle is at Martlet Manor!

My experience of Martlet Manor has been very good. My mother has settled in well, has made a number of new friends and is certainly much happier now than when she was last living independently in Summer 2023. The staff are always very helpful and I know that Mum really appreciates everything they do for her. She has also put on some much needed weight which is a testament to the quality of the meals provided. In summary, I’m sure she would say it now really feels like home to her.

Since moving in, Mum has been well cared for. The staff are very friendly and the food is very good. Any issues are readily resolved. My sister and I are very happy that Mum is in the right environment for her now and she will be happy after a few weeks of settling in.

Nothing is perfect in life, but I'm confident that Mum is in the best place possible to meet her needs and as we travel this road together (and believe you me it has been a steep learning curve for me too) any problems we do encounter will be resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible.

My mother was in Martlet Manor Care Home for nearly two years and was always treated with respect and compassion. The staff were amazing and very caring not just for the resident but family as well. Towards the end of Mum's life, every time I left her, any of the staff I passed on my way out would ask if I was ok. That meant a lot to me, thank you to everyone at Martlet Manor.

If anyone has an elderly relative that needs full-time care, then go and visit your local Care UK residential home. You will be amazed at the clean, beautifully maintained facilities that offer your relative plenty of activities and genuine supportive, person-centred care.

Martlet Manor go above and beyond in ensuring that my Mother, who has dementia, is safe and beautifully cared for. Nothing is too much trouble, be it getting her a specially prepared meal if she doesn’t fancy what’s on the menu, to letting her have two baths a day, because she wants to. My Mother, and I, are treated with respect, dignity and the safeguarding in place is second to none. If I had to go into a permanent care home, I’d be clamouring to get into Martlet Manor. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re made to feel like the most important person and nothing you ask for or expect will be a pain. My Mother calls Martlet Manor “home”. That says it all to me. Thank you to every staff member and personnel for making my Mother’s life so smooth and gentle in her fragile state. I’m in your debt. My Mother is safe and that means everything to me.

Our family is so grateful to have found such a wonderful care home and feel very fortunate that our parents are in such safe hands.

Excellent facilities, food and staff. Everyone from housekeeping to the chef goes above and beyond to make the residents and their relatives feel at home. The home is spotless, secure and the residents seem to enjoy themselves!

We thoroughly recommend this care home.

She is extremely comfortable and very well looked after. She loves her garden-facing room and participates in most of the activities on offer. As one of her children, it is a delight to see her so happy, and we all appreciate the level of care that is provided. The staff are always cheerful, welcoming, helpful, and prompt to respond.

My mother has been in the care of Martlet Manor for the past year and is extremely happy in the home. Having taken the difficult decision to move her from her own home into a care home that looks after dementia patients, I am really pleased with the care that she receives from the lovely and very caring carers at Martlet Manor. There are activities that stimulate her and make her happy and the support of all the staff is excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

Marley Manor is a very nice and friendly place. My relative has settled in well. Staff are very helpful, kind and supportive.

I find the staff very friendly and helpful. My Mum engages and interacts well with the carers and the management and the clinical staff. When I visit we often sit in the cafe or outside in the lovely gardens. My mum likes the homeliness of Martlet Manor, very comfortable and clean. She enjoyed the activities of the Jubilee weekend. A very recommendable care home.
