All our family are grateful for the care and attention our mother received at Merrick House. We took great comfort in the knowledge that she’d found such a secure and caring environment, so close to where she’d lived for almost sixty years.

My Dad really enjoyed living there, he found the staff and fellow residents very friendly and enjoyed their company. It was a great peace of mind for me knowing that they were there to look out for Dad. He really enjoyed his time there

This is provided by a caring, compassionate, friendly and efficient staff who follow the example of their benefactor Dr Margaret Merrick. Location is convenient in a village close to all amenities, all of this we have witnessed as my brother spent 5 happy years there until his passing.
