I would like to pay tribute to the outstanding kindness, patience, and respect shown to my mother and the other residents at Marula Lodge. The staff are exceptional, taking genuine pride in providing the highest standard of care with warmth, willingness, and a wonderfully relaxed, homely approach.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have each and every one of them. They not only care for my mother, but they also make our whole family feel welcome and supported too. I cannot recommend Marula Lodge highly enough.

Marula Lodge is second to none with kind, specialised care. It's without a doubt the best care home my father has been in (4 all together). The Manager runs the home with pride and employs staff who truly care for the residents. It is the first place my father has been where I truly trust his care.
The medical team have kept a close eye on his meds after he was given an incorrect cocktail of drugs in his last home. His health has improved beyond belief since being at Marula Lodge. We can't thank all the staff enough for their kindness and expertise. The relief is second to none. Thank you!

My husband has only been here for 3 weeks and has improved so much already.
All of the team are amazing. So welcoming.

The management of this home is extremely good. The care teams work well together. The carers have great patience and kindness dealing with their clients. The home is scrupulously clean, as are the patients. Staffing levels are very good, as is the security of the home. Visitors are treated very
courteously. Nothing seems too much trouble, and relatives are encouraged to make any requests that might, in their opinion, improve the care of the loved one.

Outstanding place treat all of our family like they had known us for years.
The team went above and beyond and made us feel more than welcome just can't sing their and the homes praises enough. Caught me and my sister in law off guard in a really posotive way. Over the moon my brother is here in
their care

On my visit on 19/7/25 had a lovely visit, as I saw the staff working so hard, my auntie was so nicely dressed and well presented, looking so nice, the manager and the team worked so hard during my visit and gave me a cup of tea for my journey back to Bristol. Please keep up the great work that
you're doing.

So happy to see my brother back in his chair- last visit 3 weeks ago when he was confined to his bed he now seems to be much happier with some smiles and almost able to converse. All in all we are thankful to Marula team for their care and attention given to my brother.

The care provided to residents is good and I feel assured that my Dad is in a safe environment.
Staff are always friendly and welcoming. The turnover of staff seems to be low, which means residents can familiarise themselves with the carers and staff.
Rooms are a reasonable size and are
generally kept clean and tidy.

Very disappointed, only one star re below. The home failed to mark Easter, the most important time in the Christian calendar. I have emailed the home directly and awaited comments. Nothing else to add but review had to be 200 characters long.

I visted my close friend at Marula Lodge on October 29th 2024. Sadly my friend has Parkinson's complicated by progressive dementia, nevertheless, despite remaining dumb throughout my visit, he remains very well cared for by a delightful group of staff members many of whom are Nepalese. My friend and
I met originally in Nepal in 1985 so the relationship between my friend, the staff and myself was extremely cordial. My friend is being very well cared for despite his very poor prognosis.
