I feel very welcome by both the manager and all the staff when I visit my mam, knowing she is being well taken care of at Marigold. I'm very happy with this and so are the rest of our family.

The first impression of the Marigold is very friendly and you all feel a part of one big family. The staff treat the residents like their own family. They are so caring, friendly, approachable, helpful and patient and will go out of their way to cover any wishes or needs for the patients/residents.
I don't have any worries when I leave my mother in the Marigold. We both know that she is being cared for by the capable and caring staff.

No complaints whatsoever. Staff are very attentive at all times and fantastic care is given day and night. Mum was there for palliative care and was looked after extremely well. She felt safe and was very comfortable at all times. I would highly recommend the Marigold Nursing Home.

My husband has moved into Marigold three weeks ago. He is treated with so much dignity and respect at all times. The staff have made this home from home for my husband.
It is bright, clean, comfortable and the food is amazing. I can't complain about anything at all. Amazing home!

I am very happy with care at Marigold.
My husband can be very angry, agitated but they know how to cope. At home, I couldn't wash/shave etc. I had to stop weekly carer as he just got sworn at!
Staff are lovely to me, always there when I get upset, manager does everything to run an excellent dementia
care home.

Absolutely superb all round. All staff, managers, nurses, carers, cooks, even the owner, all part of the family. Activities, knitting, outings. I cannot speak highly enough. Always approachable, considerate, caring and patient. Mother has been in other homes which pale into insignificance.

My mother moved into Marigold when it opened in April 2018. I have no concerns and I am very happy with her care; she remains very settled, calm, content and happy.
Her skin integrity and appetite improved quickly, episodes of distress reduced and she's had no UTIs. This continues to be the case
and I have every confidence this excellent level of care will continue.
I have total faith in the manager, ALL of his team AND the Nominated Individual. The manager has demonstrated compassion, care, commitment and professionalism in all areas of running the home. His standards are extremely high, I trust him to employ only caring and compassionate staff. His door is always open to discuss issues or concerns he encourages ideas, suggestions and feedback.
He and his team are imaginative and enthusiastic when it comes to enhancing and enriching the lives of the residents.
I am happy my mother is living in a loving home with people around her who I now consider to be my extended family.

My Mum came here in August of this year with advanced dementia. I can honestly say we could not have selected a better nursing home anywhere. The staff are so caring. I have seen them spend up to 2 hours with my Mum to ensure that she eats her food. She is always spotlessly clean. The Manager is always
very approachable and is always on hand to answer any questions. A wonderful place and highly recommended.

Marigold Nursing Home are completely exceptional. Following a not very positive experience in an inferior dementia unit, we moved mam to Marigold. They have nurtured and cared for her and took the time to get to know Mam as an individual. She is happy, bright, chatty in her own way and it is clear she
is well looked after and cared for and also cared about. It is a bright and happy place with a lovely atmosphere.
There are activities every day and the management team have some innovative ways of engaging with the residents, which work incredibly well. Making the decision that a parent has to go into a care home is heart breaking. But entrusting Mam to the amazing staff and managers at Marigold has helped us to cope. We firmly believe that Marigold rescued my mam.

The home was recommended by our social worker - I did internet research and asked people about it and all I heard was good things. I visited without arrangement and felt comfortable and welcomed from the start. I was given a tour and was impressed at the cleanliness of the home the well-decorated rooms
- all with natural light and en-suite and colourful corridors and communal areas. Staff were welcoming and friendly and looked happy to be at work. I returned unarranged again with my father and given the tour again. It was perfect and I really thought from the first visit, that my mum would feel at home here and it would cater for her needs (moderate/severe dementia). It is designed with dementia research at the fore. Family meetings occur on a monthly basis and management are open to feedback and promote it as a home for the entire family, not just the resident. My mum has only been in there a few days but we are very happy with the care and support shown to her and our family.

This care home has been recently renovated and to a high standard. The rooms are nice and the communal spaces are bright and modern with wall art which stimulates the resident's memories. The staff are all friendly and kind to the residents and family members are made very welcome. The manager is a
credit to the home and he ensures it runs smoothly.

Marigold Nursing Home is an excellent resource within our local community. Standards within the home are extremely high and staff well trained and caring. Each member is dedicated to ensuring residents retain dignity are respected and nursed/supported to the best of their ability and take pride in their
caring. The rooms are immaculate and the home itself is warm and welcoming. Staff are professional and friendly and knowledgeable about each resident individually. I am thrilled my friend is being properly cared for at last.

Since my aunt has moved into Marigold Nursing Home she is very content and has been exceptionally cared for. The staff are so friendly and helpful in every way. My cousin is so much more relaxed and happy now knowing her mam is being looked after so well.

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.
