The manager and his team cared for my father only briefly before his death in April. Our only regret is that he couldn't have been with Marigold longer as I know he was happy there. I will be forever grateful for their care and concern for Dad and subsequently the family after Dad's passing.

Reply from Bijumon Joseph, Manager at Marigold Nursing Home

Thank you Ann for taking the time to write a review. We are all so pleased that you were delighted with your Dad's care; it means a great deal to us. Again it was a pleasure to look after your Dad.

The choice of home was our preferred option and we were so pleased that they has a place for him. The staff are everything you could wish for your loved ones. Nothing is too much to ask for. The medical, social and loving care are very obvious. Even the cleaning staff are very pleasant. The manager
is obviously outstanding, but also approachable. I would be happy to recommend this home, even if it is for end of life care. My husband and is also impressed.

My family and I have received excellent support during the exceptionally difficult circumstances surrounding the COVID19 pandemic. We feel they have made the extremely difficult situation run smoothly and provided excellent care for my dad, including well-being and emotional support and informing us
of his needs at every step of the way. All staff have been amazing in supporting us as a family. Thank you!

I cannot thank the manager and all the staff at the home for the care and support they have shown my dad since he transferred into the home just before Christmas. This was an extremely stressful time for the family due to the very short timescale we were given to move Dad from his previous home. What
really stands out is the level of care and professionalism that the whole team consistently show to residents and their families. It is such a comfort to know your loved one is being looked after and is settled and happy and their needs are fully understood. For the home to have been Covid free during these very challenging times, is a testament to the hard work and safety measures that have been put in place to keep residents and staff safe, so thank you again for all your hard work in this area. Our family believe Dad's move has been a really positive one and he is now in a home that is caring and understanding. Well done on your CQC rating which is outstanding and a credit to the team.

This is the 3rd care home my sister has been in and Marigold Nursing Home is by far the best. I feel happy with all the staff and their care for my sister and the way the home is run. I feel she is safe in their care.

I was looking at care homes months ago, we have no family, my lovely husband has dementia, I'm always looking ahead, I went around quite a few. Someone told me about Marigold Nursing Home. I got an appointment to look around. The managers, nurses, staff, even the general staff, you could tell they care
about the people they looked after. My husband has been in Marigold, I was right for three weeks, they asked about what meals he liked, he was always well-groomed and happy, staff were wonderful. If my husband is well looked after by a wonderful team from the top to the bottom, my life is complete. Thank you.

The care and kindness are genuine and extend beyond the residents. The staff treat relatives of residents with the same compassion. The management was efficient and effective, responded sensitively and timely to our communication needs with my brother-in-law. Even facilitating him to communicate with
his nephew overseas.

The hard-working management and staff are committed to providing residents with dignified care. They have always nurtured and cared for my brother with absolute professionalism. Although my brother did not talk about the activities I have seen photographs of him enjoying activities. The staff have always
been friendly and understanding and have taken the time to help me to keep in touch with my brother. I have always been impressed by their compassion and dedication and cannot praise them highly enough.

My mother spent a number of weeks in Marigold Nursing Home suffering with lung cancer which had spread significantly. Mam passed away in December with the staff by her side and I can honestly say the staff, care, social interaction, standards, nursing, in fact, everything about this home is outstanding,
led by fantastic management who genuinely care and treat you as family. Mam had the best end of life care and experience possible and now my dad is also unwell with cancer, he will be hopefully admitted shortly and we would not want him to be anywhere else! Thank you all the team with our love.

My mam is cared for with utmost compassion and love by the staff at Marigold. Her needs are anticipated and met with prompt attention. As a family, we are welcomed and comforted at each visit. Mam has recently been poorly and the staff were sympathetic, considerate and flexible with us.

My partner has been in this home for over six months now and her four daughters and I are more than happy with the home. All the staff are excellent and always happy to help. We could not ask for a better place for our family. The manager is very approachable, kind and caring.

Having visited my friend in a number of local care homes I believe, at last, we have found the right home for her. The staff here are so friendly and attentive at all times when I visit. My friend's room is beautifully kept and always clean and tidy. The staff are like family and have genuine feelings
and concerns for the residents.

Mam was thankfully accepted to stay at The Marigold Nursing home following a long stay in hospital. Unfortunately, it was a short stay but I feel blessed that Mam's last days were spent among people who cared. I can honestly say that Mam received the very best palliative care here and they gave her
back her dignity and peace. Their care was exceptional at every level form the manager, carers, cook and other staff. In the short time she was in their care, Mam looked at home there and it gives me comfort, since her passing, that I made the right choice and I can't thank them enough. Mam passed away feeling safe, happy and comfortable which made her passing easier to accept. God bless you all.

Mam moved into the home in June 2019 and my sisters and I are very happy with the care and support Mam receives. Every time we visit, Mam is dressed with her hair done and clean clothes. The food is varied and there is always something available. Mam has settled very well and I feel this is due to the
lovely manager, carers and other staff around her. Everyone is so courteous, happy to speak to us, always smiling and supportive. This has really helped me, knowing how well cared for Mam is.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.995)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.995) out of 10 for Marigold Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.995 for Marigold Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.995

  • 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 Marigold Nursing Home is based on 18 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 18 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.
