I have visited on several occasions and have always been very impressed with the management and staff. I have personal experience over the years of supporting my family in various places of care and I have learnt that the most important part of this whole process is the attitude towards the service
user from every member of staff.
Marion Lauder House has recently upgraded the reception area adding a delightful coffee lounge which gives the opportunity to make friends and a feeling of "going out for a treat".

The charge nurses were excellent as well as all the carers. If you asked a question you got the answer you needed, they had time for everyone. Can't thank them enough.

Grandad has been here for a few months now. The staff and management have been great in trying different things to help him get settled, which he now is. Being able to walk away from a visit without having to worry about where we have left him means the world to us. Thank you.

Mum has been at Marion Lauder for almost a year now, and it was definitely the best decision we made. The management is very welcoming and always happy to talk. The staff are incredible, they work incredibly hard making all residents as comfortable and happy as they can. The home is clean, the cleaners
go around every day. The laundry is collected daily and promptly returned. The activities team are amazing, they always encourage the residents to participate in the day's activities. They alternate the activities regularly to please individual residents' preferences. The meals always look inviting. We would definitely recommend Marion Lauder as a great home for your loved ones to join. They keep their residents safe, and each resident is treated with dignity and given 100% care.

Mum has been treated very well with respect and dignity. Mum is well-liked and loved by all members of staff. Mum is happy and content here. Mum struggles with new members of staff, she is pleasant and smiley but her personal care. She will hold her bowel movements as not comfortable with certain people.
Mum is a very slow eater and staff show patience with Mum but tea time is a struggle as Mum is getting cranky and fussy.

I find the staff to be very helpful and caring. It is a demanding role and everyone is always attentive to the residents. Mum has settled in well and seems calmer. The staff take time to explain to relatives what's going on with Mum's care, which is very much appreciated.

We are extremely grateful to Marion Lauder for the care and consideration they give our mum whilst she is a resident there. Mum is quite difficult because of her dementia, but every single member of staff are brilliant with her and know her by name. Every time we go she is doing something different
including watching a pantomime which I enjoyed myself!

In general, my mum is very happy in her home (Marion Lauder House). I do see my mum a lot and have got to know most staff. I can talk to the staff about my mum and the staff are very good at listening and acting upon any queries we may have. I think the staff at Marion Lauder are amazing and need gold
medals, it's such a shame that the caring profession is undervalued in this country.

The staff are always very welcoming and helpful to relatives when they visit. They show respect and kindness to the residents when looking after them. Meal times and the general day-to-day activities seem to be well-staffed and carried out in an orderly but friendly manner. The environment is bright,
cheerful and clean.
Overall, the residents always look well cared for. Thank you.

I was very comforted and reassured by feeling my husband was always safe and treated very kindly by all staff. The attendance of nursing and medical staff was constant and I felt trust that I would always be informed of any concerns.

Previous reviews would have been very different from this one. They would have been much more negative.
I would have struggled to write anything positive as have had several issues with personal care and other things for my husband.
There are new owners and a new manager. If what they say is implemented
with future plans, then it sounds like things will be on the right track. The place does need a coat of paint but have been advised this is on the list with many other things that will hopefully bring Marion Lauder House back to the “outstanding" CQC rating. The majority of staff I have met are lovely and deserve credit for working in such difficult situations. The new owners are very approachable and fair, they listen and feedback where necessary. Met the new manager today, she seems very experienced and has great ideas. All sounds very positive going forward and really hope the new plans work.

Mum has received brilliant care and has settled in well. I am happy with the care she has received and the support she has been given as Mum can sometimes be a handful.
Just a big thank you to the team who look after her.

I visit my father every day when I am able. I feel like part of the family at this care home now. There are staff members who I have become very friendly with. They take excellent care of my dad, even though he is not always easy to deal with. The whole team are really nice to know, the kitchen staff
always happy to make my dad and all of his visitors a cup of tea and a biscuit. The nurses are really good and I trust them with my dad's healthcare. The carers are brilliant, even the maintenance team an admin staff are all fantastic.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.474)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.474) out of 10 for Marion Lauder House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.474 for Marion Lauder House is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (78 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 230 Ratings = 4.474

  • 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 Marion Lauder House is based on 19 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 79 registered maximum number of service users is 15.8, which has been reached with 19 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.

Pet therapy in care homes can increase social interaction not just with the animals but also between other residents. It gives residents something to look forward to, comment on and discuss together in a way that often helps to break down barriers.


Interacting with pet animals can unlock hidden memories of cats, dogs and other creatures that may have been part of the lives of elderly residents in the past. Even when these former encounters can’t be put into words, their joy can often be seen in participants’ faces.
