We were invited as a family to take part in celebrations for Chinese New Year. The coffee lounge was nicely decorated in keeping with the theme and added to the event. The staff were very welcoming and we all enjoyed the food and entertainment. It was so special to see mum and dad (residents) joining
in with the singing and dancing in such a supportive environment. Congratulations to the staff who worked hard and gave their time to make the evening a success.

I really Couldn't want for a cleaner, nicer, more comfortable care home. Such good staff, very welcoming caring and helpful. You don't get many better places than this to retire. The food is excellent, some of the meals served wouldn't be out of place in a 4 or 5 star restaurant.

The staff and management have been amazing in helping my father and myself with the transition. The care given has been excellent thus far and the chef and his team serve nothing short of an al-a carte menu. The activities co-ordinator ensures that the residents are kept stimulated which is a big plus
for someone like my father.

A close friend of mine was nursed at Marina View. All the staff went above and beyond to make sure that my friend's needs were catered for. Every member of staff I met during visiting was compassionate and caring and nothing was too much trouble. The home is stunning with many homely touches and excellent
facilities. There are many varied activities organised by the activities coordinator to suit all tastes. My friend really enjoyed the food and the fresh muffins and cakes provided in the reception cafe bar area overlooking the Marina were lovely. I would highly recommend Marina View.

An absolutely beautiful facility and so pleased that my mother is so happy here.
Everywhere is spotlessly clean and the carers are so friendly and helpful.
My mother is especially happy with the quality of the food served to her.
Her room is spacious and bright with views to keep her interested
and alert.
When I last visited, they were holding a Christmas Fair that featured items made by the residents in their craft classes.
This facility has so much to offer.

Outstanding care home, staff, management are exceptional in all their duties. Nothing is too much trouble. The care my husband receives is first class and I am so happy to see him looked after so well, treated with dignity at all times, and always made to feel welcome when I visit. Always clean and
so well cared for. Marina View in my opinion is outstanding.

After several weeks in the hospital, my 92-year-old mother recently moved into Marina View where the management and staff were very welcoming, caring and attentive. The facilities at the home are excellent and the rooms are large and well-appointed.

Marina View has the immediate wow factor and an environment to make people happy. The location of the building provides a lovely outlook, with all communal rooms looking out over the Marina. Gardens, furnished with quality furniture also overlook the Marina.
The inside resembles a quality hotel, that
is spacious and wide open, with many facilities ensuring visitors have many different choices of space for their visits. Everything is immaculately clean. We have taken the opportunity to furnish our space with familiar furnishings from our relatives home.
Managers, nurses and carers all take the time to know about their residents and relatives. It was clear from the outset they knew our relatives settling and integration would come with its challenges. The team being managed by a Psychiatric Nurse have achieved where other Homes have failed.
The whole package provided at Marina View is first class and it is reassuring when you find 'the right place' for your relative.

My husband has been a resident since December 2023 and although there have been quite a few teething problems since the home opened there is now a permanent manager along with more senior staff and things are certainly improving and given a bit more time will be a 5-star care home.
This is the third
home he has been in and even with the problems the home has had he is more settled than he has been for a long time. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble for both him and myself.
I would certainly recommend this home.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.609)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.609) out of 10 for Marina View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.919 for Marina View is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 136 Ratings = 4.919

  • 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 4.69 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Marina View is based on 12 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 87 registered maximum number of service users is 17.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.4 = 0.69

  • 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.
