12 March 2026
We live in The Midlands and only get to see mum once a year, she moved to Merryfields a year ago. This year we'll be coming home for the first time knowing she is somewhere she'e totally happy, cared for and at a 101 years old - cherished.
Her room is spacious and delightful with a patio door. The
food is appropriate for her age and tasty. The staff are just lovely! I cannot fault her care - she's clean, happy and treated with such respect. So many activities too!

Dear All Staff
Thank you so much for the wonderful care you have always provided our mum (Ann) with.
She needs such a level of support that her family could never provide. We feel rest assured that she is given the highest level of care. All the staff have always been very kind and helpful to mum
and to her family. We would always recommend Merryfields.

Having visited many Care Homes I can honestly say that if your loved one has dementia, Merryfields is "Simply the Best" The staff provide the very best care and respect residents needs, with patience and understanding. Staff and residents all use christian names, which I feel creates a homely
environment.

Merryfields and all the staff have been amazing. They have given my mum the care and support we would have hoped her to have had we been able to be caring ourselves and lived around the corner. It is a family, not a service and we couldn't wish for a nicer place. We feel lucky and grateful, my mum
is safe, happy and living the best life possible with the demands of her dementia.

A lovely small, caring, homely environment. Activities in place to keep residents engaged. Everyone is so caring and treat residents (and visitors) with respect. They are all approachable and happy to respond to any questions/queries. We knew that our mum would be so overwhelmed if she was in a
large setting with dozens of residents whereas at Merryfields, she joins in with the others. She and I appreciate all the people who assist her. A lovely environment with dedicated and supportive, friendly and caring staff

The care is loving, the rooms spacious & clean, the food delicious, the activities inspiring & the daily posts on social media are amazing. The staff are wonderful.

My sister quickly settled into the home 4 months ago and seems very happy. After caring for others all her life, I am so grateful that she is now receiving the care she deserves in a very 'homely' home. The staff are so patient and caring. The daily activities prove to be very popular and keep the
residents moving. My sister does not have a great appetite and is also on a gluten free and diabetic diet, which is challenging but the catering staff do their best to tempt her appetite. Visitors are always given a welcome and treated with respect and offered a cuppa.

I have been really pleased with the care and dedication the staff at Merryfields have given to my mum. At first, I was apprehensive about moving Mum into a care home but I should not have worried. She has received a high level of care tailored to her needs. The staff are extremely kind to Mum and
treat her with as much dignity as they can, her comfort and quality of life have been given a high priority.

Merryfields has a very friendly and homely atmosphere. The staff make great efforts to provide a comprehensive programme of entertainment and to include all residents in this - they are not left alone in their rooms and can participate or not as they wish. The food seems good with choices available
at each meal, and the homemade cakes at tea time are excellent.! The staff keep a close eye on medical needs and conditions, there are regular checkups from medical staff and the doctor is always called quickly if there are any infections or issues, and we are contacted and kept informed of the situation.

My lovely mum moved into Merryfields when she was no longer safe at home. She has been living there for nearly two years now and is always happy, clean and dressed beautifully whenever I visit. Mum's appearance has always been an important part of her life. At Merrifield Mum's individual identity
has been nurtured and loved by all. What a wonderful relief and weight off my mind.

We had to make a decision to put Dad in a home after Mum passed away in 2023, although hard at the time, it was the best thing we have done. The care and support he has had since he has been a resident has been excellent from every single person at the home. The trips out and activities that they
encourage him to do are marvellous, he is well-settled and very happy in his new home. Sister and I can't praise Merryfields enough for what they do. Thank you!

Merryfields feels like a family. They provide a wonderful standard of empathetic care catered to the needs of the individual. My mother has dementia and I appreciate the effort they go to with activities to provide stimulation and fun to what is essentially end of life care. As a visitor I enjoy the
flexible visiting and that I also am made to feel part of the Merryfields family.
26 July 2024
From the moment my mother entered Merryfields, where she was washed, clothed and tidied up after a prolonged spell in hospital, I knew it would be a good place for her. In the two months since arriving, she has regained weight and her (zimmer frame) walking has improved. Merryfield organises many
activities, and Mum participates in as many as she can. Staff are caring and personable, food is great and varied, the garden is well maintained and there are a number of communal rooms so you can choose where to sit.
11 December 2023
My mother was in Merryfields for the past year and we were delighted with the care and the support she received from all the amazing staff.
Every day there was a meaningful activity taking place and during the last few weeks where my mother was unable to partake, 1-1 time was spent with her.
Everyone treated my mother with such dignity and compassion.
05 December 2023
This care home is an outstanding care home. From the moment you walk in the door, you are welcomed by friendly staff.
The home has gone above and beyond to care for my mother; the delivery of care was so gentle and done with such kindness and compassionate care.
During her final days, the staff
also looked after myself and my sister.
We could not have wished for a better place for our mother to spend her final year.

My sister and I can not thank the staff enough for the wonderful care that they gave our mum in her last few years. Mum had been living at Merryfields for 5 years, and living with dementia. The staff have always treated her with patience and kindness, always preserving her dignity, always with a
smile and a kind word. They made Mum's last days very calm and happy. As her final days drew closer, they were always in touch, talking through any events and discussing her needs. They welcomed us into the home to be with Mum for long periods and were incredibly supportive in her final hours. We would like to extend a huge thank you to all the staff for their warmth and care during that time. We would not hesitate to recommend Merryfields as a loving, safe and happy home to anyone's elderly relatives, especially if they suffer from dementia

Staff are very caring towards residents and relations, answering any questions promptly in a relaxed atmosphere.
Lovely home, like being part of a family. My mum loves it there. She has a great room with a French door window.

Mum is well cared for at Merryfields. She isn't always the happiest but I feel the majority of staff do the best they can for her.
Mum suffers from dementia and the staff try and meet her needs even when her needs are sometimes a little difficult. I would like staff to try and spend a little bit
more time with her but I realise how pushed they are for time.
Overall I feel Mum is in the best place.
24 October 2022
My mother has been at Merrryfields for about 4 months now. We got her out of the last home as we felt the care was lacking. This home is amazing! The staff are excellent and really engage with the residents. We can always see on social media all the activities that the residents participate in. They
all look so happy. This may be a smaller care home but the care is amazing and my mum is happy to be a resident.
