In 2022 after a long period of pain and difficulty with an infected knee joint I spent four weeks in hospital, following which my husband and I felt that a further week of recuperation being cosseted in Merlewood would be very beneficial. And so it proved. Every single member of staff from the manager through to all nursing staff from sisters to students, to the cleaners and handymen, were highly competent, friendly and patient, both day and night.

My mother moved in five months ago at the age of 94 years. We knew immediately that it was the right place for her. The staff are so welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. She enjoys an active social life and loves the food and the surroundings. I would highly recommend this beautiful care home to anyone looking for a relaxed gentle atmosphere. Well done Merlewood.

My mother came to Merlewood with dementia and was initially quite bewildered but settled in so well and was made to feel welcome by the fabulous nurses.

1st class care home, so much so that my uncle is talking about going back during the winter to catch up with all the friends he has made. He has enjoyed the organised events, food and the friendliness of all the staff. We were even able to book a meal to eat with our uncle when we visited.

Although only three weeks stay, my mum had the very best care at Merlewood. My mum's end-of-life care was exemplary thank you to you all. I will always remember your kindness and support.

I had a brief stay of a month here following a spell in hospital. The friendly staff had a high standard of care and cleanliness throughout. They were very attentive in ensuring that I had a comfortable stay. There is the added bonus that the premises are surrounded by a large peaceful garden.

I had had an accident and could not look after myself. The only place I could think of was the home where my mother lives, Merlewood. The care/staff is everything one could want friendly, knowledgable and professional. I would thoroughly recommend Merlewood.

I find all the carers kind, thoughtful and very supportive. The atmosphere at Merlewood is happy, homely and friendly and the outside spaces are a real bonus. Tere have been problems with the quality with the food, but I understand that improvements are on the way.

The lovely staff have made my stay so pleasant and successful in supporting my recovery. They've been kind, thoughtful and gone out of their way to help - and always with a smile. The facilities here are very comfortable, clean and fresh. The courtyard gardens are delightful and very relaxing not too formal. All in all, a lovely atmosphere.
