My mum had 2 respite stays at Merriman Grange at the end of last year. I cannot recommend it highly enough. All the staff are friendly, kind & professional. The bedrooms and all the communal areas are beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. The food is varied and of a high quality and smaller
appetites are catered for. The activities program and outings are interesting and varied and residents are encouraged to join in but it is acknowledged that sometimes people want to have some quiet time and this is also OK.
Merriman Grange is more like a 5 star hotel than a care home - highly recommended in all areas.

Mum moved in last September. Although it took her a while to settle, the care and support from everyone at Merriman helped tremendously. Her room is amazing, and with all her personal bits and pieces, it feels like her home. The facilities are fantastic with a wide range of activities to choose
from. Mum particularly enjoys the minibus trips. All the staff are welcoming, friendly and caring. We are confident that mum is safe and well cared for, and no longer on her own. There is always someone available for a chat.

We are very happy that our mother is a resident at Merriman Grange. It is a warm and caring home with friendly staff and you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. There are many welcoming communal spaces, either to share time with visitors or other residents or to sit quietly with
a book or a cup of coffee. Activities to stimulate mind and body are provided mornings and afternoons and the staff encourage residents to participate but respect their need for quiet time too. The facilities are very modern, clean and of a high standard. The bedrooms are well designed, with plenty of storage and shelving for displaying personal knick-knacks. Overall the Merriman provides a beautiful, luxurious, friendly environment, which is exactly what we wanted for our mother's care.

I can highly recommend Merriman Grange. My mum stayed there for five weeks of respite care and truly loved her time there. From the moment she arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and consistently went above and beyond - especially the wonderful care team, who showed such kindness and
compassion throughout her stay.
There were plenty of engaging daily activities for her to enjoy, including trips out, which she really looked forward to. The food was of an excellent standard, and she also formed some lovely friendships while she was there. It was such a comfort knowing she was so well cared for, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Merriman Grange to others.

My mother became a resident of the Merriman three months ago, and it is already evident that the kindness, professionalism, and unwavering dedication of your staff profoundly enrich the lives of those in your care. Equally important is your compassion that extends beyond the residents themselves,
offering invaluable support and reassurance to their families and friends.
13 November 2025
From the moment we arrived at Merriman we were met with friendly and professional staff. The facilities are wonderful with spacious rooms but also plenty of activities or quieter spaces to enjoy. Every member of staff is friendly and approachable and it is clear that they all love their job and
helping the residents.
Whilst our 100 year old mother was booked in for a two week respite care and understandably anxious, as were we, as she had never been in a care home every effort was made to ensure that she was comfortable and nothing was too much trouble... even the 3.00am cup of Ovaltine on waking in the night.
The choice of food is outstanding either in the restaurants or in their own rooms and just the right amount of food for a smaller appetite.
Exceptional care and service from everyone made the whole experience very easy and we had nothing to worry about at all.
14 October 2025
My mother was originally in a care home near to where she had lived and we thought that it was excellent. Having moved mum to Merriman Grange I can only say that this one is even better! The staff are wonderful, the facilities are lovely and mum is very happy with the move. This is a really
exceptional home.
22 September 2025
Merriman Grange provides a luxurious environment backed up with professional and empathetic staff.
The move to Merriman was difficult for my father due to the loss of my mother on the day of his move, every member of staff was sensitive to this difficult time and have supported dad with
understanding and kindness.
The facilities are wonderful with spacious rooms, many communal areas for group activities as well as quieter spaces to enjoy. One is always welcomed by a member of the reception team on arrival. The care staff are all friendly, approachable and proactive checking all is well. The number of staff on duty is excellent which means they have time to talk to you and give each resident the attention they need. The housekeeping team provide excellent services with efficient laundry system and care of the all facilities.
The food offering is outstanding and staff check residents are coming to the dining room or happily provide tray service if individuals wish to eat in their rooms.

We were so pleased to find Merriman Grange having found it difficult to find a care home for my relative which ticked all the boxes. As soon as we walked in, there was the feeling of a 5-star hotel which continued as we met staff and saw the lovely decor and facilities for the residents, the
bedrooms, the lounges, the dining room beautifully laid out and the balconies and it went on and on!
My relative receives the kindness and professionalism she requires with patience and support to lead her life as she wants to. It is a great relief to find a home she can now call 'Home'.
28 July 2025
My mum has been at the Merriman for 3 months now and we're really pleased we chose this home. The facilities are outstanding, being a purpose built care-home, and not something repurposed. There are lots of staff providing round-the-clock care, giving the home a very professional but friendly feel.
If I have questions, there's always someone available, and our requests have been actioned quickly. Her room is big, with a door onto its own patio, and when I visit we can sit there or in a cafe, a lounge or in the garden; we never just sit in her room. There's a minibus too and she regularly goes on trips out. The activities are varied, and the home have gone out of their way to cater for my mum's specific needs and preferences.

I have only highest praise for all of the staff and facilities at Merriman Grange. The admission process was friendly and professional with every request and question answered and implemented without hesitation. The home is equal to that of a 5 star hotel with amazing care, service and food. Every
staff member is friendly and approachable and clearly loves their job and where they work. The bedrooms are large, secure and beautifully decorated with many communal areas including outdoor seating, cafes and even a cinema! There are endless amazing features of this home. Our uncle was very nervous and hesitant to make the move to a care home, but if we had known how happy he was going to be here, we would have made the move a long time ago. Thank you all so much for looking after our uncle with such care and compassion. He is the happiest we have seen him in a long time.

My partner enjoyed a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at Merriman Grange. We found the facilities and care to be first rate (5-star). At all times, the staff were considerate, caring, polite and patient. I have nothing else to say because everything is top rate!
08 July 2025
My mum was very nervous and needed quite a bit of convincing to come into a care home. Upon her arrival, everyone made her feel very welcome and took the time to help her settle in. In particular, the Home Admissions Advisor provided exceptional service from our initial inquiry through to meeting my
mum on her first day. Mum had an enjoyable two-week stay and informed us that she was very well looked after by all the staff. She especially praised one of the carers and the catering team for their care and attention. Given her initial apprehension, it was a great relief to know she had a positive experience. She even mentioned that she would be happy to return. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff at The Merriman for your kindness and support.
01 July 2025
My mum moved to Merriman Grange soon after it opened, following the closure of her previous home. We have been so impressed by the team at Merriman Grange, from the support we received from the Home Admissions Advisor prior to mum moving in, right through to the General Manager, carers, chefs and
the housekeeping staff. Everyone has helped mum to settle in quickly and feel at home. Nothing is too much trouble for the excellent carers. They don't just provide care for the residents but you get the impression that they also really do care about the residents as individuals. They spend time with my mum and encourage her to eat and drink. The building has been beautifully designed. The rooms lovely and very comfortable. The environment is welcoming and immaculately clean. It really doesn't feel like a care home - more like a 5 star hotel. We've seen a lot of care homes over the past few years and Merriman Grange is exceptional. My mum is very happy there and I highly recommended it!
01 July 2025
My mum has just moved in here and I've been hugely impressed so far. Attentive staff and lots of them, good food, beautiful decor and great facilities. The whole place has a really positive atmosphere and it's been a huge relief to know that my mum is in safe hands. It has the feel of a 5 star hotel
but with a very personal touch, and it's not even at the most expensive end of the market. Keep up the good work!
19 June 2025
From the moment you walk through the door the staff are welcoming and very professional. The surrounding are of high standard. The care is second to none and the activities organised are varied and fun.
Mum loved it and was sad to leave.
12 June 2025
It is difficult to criticise Merriman Grange as a care home. The building is new and well constructed and is kept immaculately clean. The staff are a happy and contented group - they go about their duties is a clean and confident manner. They are well trained and nothing they are asked to do is too
much trouble. Additional tasks all completed efficiently and with a smile on their face and that effects on sound management. There are direct links with local medical authorities readily available for those who need additional care. My wife and I came here for the first open day and after a trial period of residence have decided this is our final home.
29 May 2025
Thank you for all the care and attention I have been given by the lovely caring staff who are always happy and smiling in their work. Nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are beautiful and the food delicious.

facilities.They are all caring and personable and nothing seems to be too much trouble.
The food is excellent which range of choices every meal.There are activities laid on most days which she loves.I attended the Easter Monday afternoon tea what a treat and the excellent VE day celebrations and enjoyed the afternoon tea laid on and the war time songs from the live entertainment The staff fully entered the spirit of the day, dressing up in the fashions of the day.Mum tells me she is so happy here making new friends and looked after wonderfully by all the friendly staff. Merriman Grange is all she hoped for and more.
19 May 2025
Merriman Grange is a wonderful place. From the offset, the staff could not be more helpful from explaining how the process works to helping my Father settle in. On entering Merriman Grange you are in awe of the 5 star greeting you receive from the staff along with the first class surroundings. It
gives you the feeling of a luxurious hotel rather than a care home. The food is absolutely excellent having tried this first hand on the day that we settled my Father in. The most important thing is that the staff are fantastic, attentive, friendly, kind and compassionate but most importantly they are committed to catering for all of my Fathers needs.
