All staff go above and beyond for mum every day in all aspects of her life and care requirements. We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Marjorie House and would highly recommend to anyone requiring top-quality care. An outstanding home.”
The home is also celebrating being rated as ‘Good’ following its first CQC inspection since Marjorie House opened in September 2024.
