We were very impressed by the thoughtful, caring nature of all staff. We were always greeted with cheerful efficiency and we quickly formed an impression that nothing was too much trouble. Communication was excellent and thorough. This is an excellent care home, which we would definitely recommend.

I have recently visited one of my dear friends at this care home. Thankfully, the care home has been Covid free throughout the pandemic. I was happy with how the care home is looking after the residents, and the facilities are second to none.

Marwood and it's staff are excellent all round. My mother is very happy at the home and has nothing but praise for the staff and her care. It is the third home she has been in and by far the best.

Each time I visit Marwood I am made to feel very welcome by the staff. There are no set visiting times so I can pop in when I'm passing to see my friend. It has a real homely feel, is decorated nicely and always smells fresh and clean. The residents and staff are like one big family and everyone is
included. There is always something gong on that the residents can join in and my friend is very happy there. She is well cared for and always talks about how good the food is.

Marwood and its staff provide a very welcoming environment for visitors and residents alike. The building is modern, bright and airy with a very homely feel to it. It's always clean and tidy, no matter when I visit. The staff are friendly and approachable and treat my sister with respect and dignity.
It's very reassuring to see my sister so settled - she couldn't be cared for any better. Since moving to Marwood, she has made new friends and enjoys taking part in the many organised group activities.

My aunt has been here since July 2019. The home is exceptionally clean to a high standard and is well maintained and decorated. My aunt has settled really well and is very happy. She is always clean, her skin is in excellent condition and she has put weight on. She gets on with other residents and the
staff are great. My family couldn't be happier.

Our Mum has been in Marwood approximately 3 years, the care has been very satisfactory. If we were to find one negative comment, the laundry department could be more efficient in returning the correct clothing, this is nothing in comparison to the care and support provided. If we have ever to sort any
issues for Mum the management have already acted promptly to resolve the situation. We like the inclusion to attend regular home meetings, more activities to be arranged.

My father-in-law moved into Marwood nearly 2 years ago after living independently. He himself says it is the best thing he could have done. He has a lovely en-suite room regular really good food. He loves the company of the other residents and the activities every day. Any medical need is quickly spotted
by staff and dealt with. For his relatives, it is total peace of mind and we are always made very welcome on our visits and we receive phone calls from the staff if we need informing. I just hope they have a vacancy when I need it.

Such a bright, airy place and visitors are always welcome. The staff are friendly and professional, treating residents with care and respect. Residents are encouraged to take part in a range of activities, including organised outings. It’s reassuring knowing my sister-in-law is safe, happy and well-cared

First impression was a light, airy, welcoming atmosphere. Staff are ever present, caring, patient and respectful. They encourage residents to take part in activities and enjoy life.
The home is run by a very capable, caring and hands-on person.
Medical problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently.
This is as close to 'home' as it gets.

Mum has been a resident for about a year and I cannot praise the staff more highly for their kindness and professionalism. The managers while staying kind compassionate and unfailingly helpful, run a tight ship and certainly have their finger on the pulse. I would recommend Marwood Residential Home

I can highly recommend Marwood as a care home. My mother who is now 97 has gone from strength to strength since going to Marwood in 2012. The food is very good, the staff are extremely helpful and jolly and the rooms are very nicely decorated and maintained.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Marwood Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.922 for Marwood Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.922

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Marwood Residential Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
