Marian House is an exceptional care home for older people located in Sutton Coldfield. The nursing home has been awarded a ‘good’ rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) report in April 2023. With the most recent refurbishment completed in 2022, the nursing home is spacious, modern and beautifully presented.

Marian House offers a comprehensive range of 24-hour nursing care services for the elderly. Residents enjoy an exceptional lifestyle with access to various amenities both inside the nursing home and out in the local community. The dedicated activities team regularly organise group and one-to-one activities tailored to the needs of the residents.

There is always something happening at Marian House. Some residents enjoy being kept busy with light activities and friendly conversations with professional care staff, while others seek longer moments of peace and quiet. As such, they appreciate the day-to-day life of all residents will differ. The team work around residents' needs and preferences, while ensuring their health (physical and emotional) stays top of mind.

Being a specialist nursing care provider the home is equipped with lifts aids and hoists for residents with specialised mobility needs. All the nursing beds have recently been replaced with new, modern adjustable models - without looking “clinical”. There are two good-sized lounges for residents and visitors to relax and socialise with each other. In the warmer weather the residents have full use of another lounge which extends into the dining room and overlooks the leafy garden.

The home also boasts a hydrotherapy unit which has been recently installed into the building.

There is Wifi available throughout the home allowing regular FaceTime calls to be made for residents who wish to connect with their loved ones (the professional carers will even show you how it’s done).

10 mm steel nut tied to the end of the light pull, wardrobe door that can only open a few inches as it hits the wall mounted tv bracket, items from a previous person who had room 32 left in draws. No rail on the side of the bed.

Reply from Marian House, Admin at Marian House Nursing Home

Thank you for your comments, which we have taken on board. We have removed the TV today so you now have full access to the wardrobe. Apologies, we were not aware of the pull cord issue, which we have also resolved today.
We would invite you to come in and discuss this further in person if you wish.
Thank You.

Having dismissed three caring agencies over an 18 month period for taking advantage of my mother's vulnerability I was fully alert and observant of Marian House when my mother became a resident there between October and middle December 2017. After which my mother sadly passed away.
However rather
than find fault, to my delight I became fully aware of the dedication to provide maximum professional care to all residents. Marian House staff have the compassion and all other fine qualities to comfort each resident and satisfy their loved ones of ultimate care given.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.722)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.722) out of 10 for Marian House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.722 for Marian House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (311 Excellents x 5) + (85 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 410 Ratings = 4.722

  • 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 Marian House Nursing Home is based on 35 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 35 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2024

I am passionate about leading the team to deliver high-quality care, ensuring the residents can live well in a safe, kind, and respectful environment that will enable independence and enhance the enjoyment of all we have to offer. I believe that families and friends are key to helping us ensure we do the best for the residents.


I am a registered nurse (RGN) of 20 years in a variety of specialists such as acute and emergency medicine, and for the last 9 years have been working in large residential and nursing homes in England, Scotland, and Wales.


I enjoy outdoor activities such as skiing, football, and reading. I’m also a Wolves season ticket holder for my sins.

I am highly experienced in the Residential, Dementia, and Nursing care settings. I have been a nurse for 38 years.


My career started off in the NHS and then progressed to the private sector where I have worked for 20 years ensuring the highest standards of person-centred care for those living in the service and supporting my teams within their roles.


I joined Marian House in 2023, it is a privilege to take care of People's loved ones and treat each individual as I would my family.
I love that each day brings a new challenge and new experiences. Learning from previous experiences is paramount to achieve the best outcomes going forward. The care our residents receive is an area I feel very passionate about.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my 3 children and 6 grandchildren, enjoy watching rugby and socialising with my friends and family.

Sarah

Sarah Monkman

Job Title: Lead Activities Coordinator

Joined: 2021

I joined this great team in April 2021 as a care assistant, progressing to Senior Carer later that year. I took the role of Lead Activity Coordination in March 2024 after helping out with activities and finding that I loved the job and wanted to do it permanently.


Before joining Marian House, I worked as a Care Coordinator for a domiciliary care company as well as a dispenser in a pharmacy. I worked at both for several years before deciding to move over to nursing care.


I have found a passion for End-of-life care as well as Dignity in care. I have done a lot of training on these subjects which aids me in providing this care for the residents here at Marian House. I have just qualified in my NVQ Level 4 in Lead Adult Care, which I am very proud of. I love my job and thoroughly enjoy bringing joy and smiles to the resident's faces and lives, as well as coming up with new ideas and finding entertainment groups for the home.


Outside of work, my husband and I and our dog spend a lot of time outside, whether it be in the garden, gardening and looking after our pond, or going out for walks around our local Park. I enjoy playing the guitar, and my dad and I have regular jamming sessions, to our neighbour's dismay.
