My aunt was the most wonderful person, professional and dignified, the staff that looked after her emanated the very same. They were kind, professional, welcoming and friendly to the very end. What amazing staff you have working for you, you should be so proud. We couldn't have asked for more or better. Your facilities were perfect, modern and clean and in a perfect setting overlooking the river. Your front-of-house staff, welcoming and simply lovely, whatever time we arrived. For anyone with loved ones in care or on the journey, this was truly the perfect setting. You made everything seamless and comfortable, not just for my aunt but for my family as well. Thank you to all your staff from myself, my mum, brothers, uncle/s, cousin/s and great niece/s. Kindest regards and love to all.

Very good. My sister has been at Marine View Lodge for just under one year. The staff adore her; she is spoilt rotten and settled in from day one. I would recommend this home.

I needed to find my Mum 24 hour nursing care fast when she was being discharged from hospital after having suffered a bad fall which had accelerated her dementia. I was so relieved when I telephoned the manager and was told there was a room available for her. The day she arrived I went in and to my astonishment I found my mum smiling and happy in her new bed. Staff did a great job of welcoming her and settling her in. Over the coming weeks my Mum was transformed thanks to the amazing carers and nurses. They soon had her up out of bed, fully dressed and feeding herself. This has given me and my family such sheer relief and peace of mind. During her stay she has so enjoyed music therapy, numerous parties and one to one activities with staff. They have even taken her out for a coffee. We have celebrated my Dad's 90th birthday party with her when staff made us a birthday cake and decorated the room. All the staff treat my Mum (and my Dad) with the greatest respect, dignity and love.

My mother-in-law, who has dementia, moved into Marine View Lodge nursing home in June 2021 following a fall at home and a spell in hospital. At the time she was bed-bound and unable to feed herself, however thanks to the loving attention of the carers and nursing staff she was soon able to be dressed and regain some mobility along with regaining her healthy appetite and the ability to feed herself again. The change in her wellbeing and appearance in a few months was nothing short of miraculous due entirely to the professional attention of all the staff whom I couldn’t fault. My father-in-law visits every day and is now welcomed as part of the family, he has been treated with great dignity which has helped him come to terms with his wife of 66 years having to go into care. Overall from what I have seen and experienced I would highly recommend the Marine View Lodge.

Excellent nursing home, great friendly staff, qualified nurses always on duty. Standard of care is superlative, staff make you feel welcome and a part of the team. Clean, tidy and bright environment and a great view.

My father has Parkinson's Disease and Parkinson's Dementia, the place he was in before Marine View Lodge was an awful place for him. Me and my sisters did everything we can to get him into a better care home. When the opportunity came up for Marine View we took it right away and we are so glad that we did. My Dad is smiling more and calls them "a good bunch", the rooms are so nice and tidy and are very regularly cleaned. The staff response also is very quick and they have more than enough staff members to see to their residents and it is the perfect place for my father to be.

Mum has only been a resident for approx 10 days but appears to be settling in well. Very pleased with the care, environment and food.
