Marina is a very good care home and my wife does receive a very good care package. Most care workers are excellent although a few are only average.

The care my mother got in this home was excellent. The caring and cleanliness were like I gave her at home. Food excellent as well as the girls, all of them (and the male carers), cleaners, nurses, receptionists. There was no problem too big if you were unhappy about anything.

I have visited twice this year. I have been impressed by the friendliness of the staff and their interaction with both service users and visitors. They are attentive and engaged with those they care for and have a nice personal touch with an element of humour. A nice, relaxed, homely atmosphere.

The staff are kind, friendly, supportive and ready to listen to my concerns should they arrive. As my husband has deteriorated they take extra care with him. They call in health support teams or doctors when needed. They always keep me informed which is important to me as my husband can no longer speak.
They go the extra way to do little things like making a Valentine's card with my husband's picture on it for me, which I shall always treasure.

My mother has resided at Marina Care Home for almost 2 years now and I would recommend this home to anyone as my experiences have only been good ones - lovely, caring staff, really clean environment and a high standard of resident care and support. Nothing is any trouble with any member of staff - they
can't do enough which leaves a readily pleasant atmosphere within the home.

Very pleasant staff who are pleased to talk frankly about the condition of residents. They are very friendly and co-operate when we arrive to visit and are ready to accommodate us as to where we wanted to see my sister.
The home is kept very neat and clean - it smells so fresh at all my visits.
A
very highly recommended residential home. There is nothing to criticise about the Marina Care Home.

My mother-in-law has been a resident in Marina Care Home since May 2016. She has settled in extremely well and is made to feel a part of a large family (she is in her 92nd year she enjoys the activities which takes place on a regular basis. She especially enjoyed the bean bag activity where a number
of bean bags are thrown onto a mat marked with numbers. She came second and was chuffed to bits. A warm welcome is always given to family members no matter what time of the day/night they visit. Nursing skills (day/night) extremely important and Marina Care Home provides a highly trained and wonderful team.

Since my father moved into this care home in July 16, I have been most impressed with how he has been looked after. The staff are extremely friendly and always give the impression that they want to be helpful. The home is maintained in an excellent manner, well heated and always clean and tidy. There
is always a good selection of food. All staff, management, nurses and carers are all to be congratulated for their professionalism and kindness to all the residents.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Mum spent 3 months in the Marina Care Home until her passing at the end of October 2016. The standard of care my mum received was very good from all staff and the support to us as a family was excellent. Any issues raised were dealt with quickly and as a family, we felt that staff, admin and management
were always available and approachable. Mum really enjoyed the home cooked meals and the endless cups of tea etc and of course, we as visitors were never left out. Mum had a number of serious medical issues and the nursing staff kept us up to date and explained everything that was happening. As expected, mum's conditions deteriorated and over the last 2-3 weeks, the family were more in attendance. Again, the support we were offered was excellent and the family appreciated all that was done for us but especially for mum until her demise which was handled with dignity and respect for all.

I have been really pleased with the level of care my Mum has received from all staff in Marina Care Home. Carers, cooks, administrators, nurses and manager are loving and warm towards all residents. Food and accommodation are of a high standard. the recently appointed manager is very committed and caring
and wants to get care for the elderly right at all levels.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.832)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.832) out of 10 for Marina Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.832 for Marina Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (150 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.832

  • 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 Marina Care Home is based on 15 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 15 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.
