Reviews for Marriott House and Lodge Care Home

"My sister is currently living in Marriott - she initially stayed for a period of respite and is now permanent. The care is of a very high standard and they try very hard to encourage her. The manager has been very supportive and keeps myself and the family informed."

"My husband has two weeks respite before Xmas. Unfortunately, the house was in isolation, but the staff were wonderful and looked after him extremely well. He enjoyed his meals very much too."

"The accommodation adequately meets our requirements considering our ages 90+. It is a great comfort to know that all our requirements are cared for and we ourselves feel comfortable and looked after."

"The care my sister received was very good, despite the fact that she was not very cooperative and didn't want to be there. The staff were very caring and having to work during covid lockdown were always ready to discuss her health with me and to help me in my request to make her stay as smooth as I could. She was suffering with some problems and I commend the staff on her stay."

"Extremely friendly staff, nothing is ever too much trouble. Always happy to put us through to my mother as my siblings and I live across the globe so rely on phone calls and Skype calls. My mother settled very well once isolation was over. Staff are very friendly and we had peace of mind that my mother was being very well looked after."

"Mum has been a resident at Marriott House for almost 3-years now, and we are very pleased with the level of care she gets. The staff are all magnificent - always willing to help, and nothing is too much trouble. All very friendly with lots of smiles! The communal lounges and dining room are nicely decorated. The location is perfect, being a 5/10 minute walk into Chichester town centre. We would definitely recommend Marriott House as a safe, reliable and friendly care home for your loved ones."

"Usually a very busy, happy home where respect and compassion is a priority along with dignity. There is without exception a warm welcome awaiting anyone and everyone who arrives at the door of Marriott House and Lodge. Well done Barchester."

"We are so fortunate that our brother has been living at Marriott House and has been so well looked after for the last five years. The staff know all the residents individually, which creates a very relaxed and warm atmosphere. Thank you."

"I was discharged from the hospital where I had been for almost a month after being knocked off my bike by a car which hit me from behind. The Marriott was recommended by a neighbour whose husband had much appreciated his time there. For me, it was an excellent halfway house between hospital and home with the 24-hour availability of trained medical staff, very much what I needed to help rebuild my confidence. Not everything was perfect, but I feel it would be pretty and small-minded to mention minor details. The Marriott's overriding asset is its staff, whose dedication, patience and commitment are deserving of the highest praise."

"We have only had six weeks' experience, but so far, have found management, staff, care and facilities very good. The range of activities is good, food, both quality and choice, very good. One or two small maintenance issues have been dealt with promptly. Overall, very satisfied with the service. Management and admin staff have been exceptional."

"My mother was discharged from the hospital and is currently receiving convalescent care. Her room is a nice size and always kept clean and tidy. Laundry services are prompt and very thorough. The staff are caring and professional and take a real interest in my mother's well-being, both physical and mental. They are quick to pick up on any signs that she is not feeling 100% and action on this is prompt. There is also a good range of activities to keep her engaged with others, which is very important. The management staff have been a great source of information and help, as this is the first encounter we have had with care homes; we are very grateful for the time and effort they have put in on our behalf. The public areas are always clean and well kept, including the gardens, which are nice to sit out in. The meals may be taken either in the resident's rooms or in the restaurant, which is a light and airy area and always looks smart when prepared for meals."

"All the staff were lovely and very helpful. Mum's room was very pleasant, light, bright and airy. My only criticism is the food was variable and often cold but I understand the complications regarding serving meals. Would highly recommend this home."

"My father has received excellent care during his respite stay at Marriorr House. The staff are friendly and attentive and are at the heart of the warm and relaxing atmosphere. The food is delicious. There are excellent coffee and tea-making facilities for visitors and I have always been made to feel welcome. The jubilee celebrations were fantastic and other activities are organised to inform and entertain residents. I highly recommend Barchester Marriott House"

"The Marriott came to my dad's rescue. I called the manager to ask if she had a room for my dad. He was in a home where he was unhappy she listened to me and I feel immediately that she understood. She assessed my dad the very next day. He has been here a month now. He is so well cared for. All the staff are professional and caring. Everyone you speak to has time for you. A special thank you the manager and her team. I feel secure in the knowledge my dad is getting the very best care."

"My mother moved to the Barchester Marriott House & Lodge in July, initially for a month's respite care. Her room is a good size and always kept clean and tidy. The food is very good with high quality and wide-ranging menu - the kitchen is also happy to provide alternative meals if required. All the caring staff are excellent - very professional and caring and take an active interest in my mother's well-being and personal needs. The management team is also very open and friendly and happy to share information and advice with us as a family."

"My father arrived on 28th September 22, It was a hard decision to make by when I had a talk with the management my mind has been out to rest. I was shown around and introduced to the nurses etc. My father hasn't stopped praising about how professional all the staff are and very friendly they are, that much he has decided to stay an extra week."

"My 100-year-old strongly independent mother spent six weeks here after injuring her leg in an accident and being made immobile. She entered the home somewhat hesitantly, as were we as a family, not having experience with a care home before. Mum was immediately made very welcome by the friendly staff and soon settled in; she enjoyed the interaction with all the staff who made time to chat with her and treated her as a valued individual. As a family, the management team and the staff were very approachable and helpful giving us confidence that Mum would be in safe hands, as indeed it proved as after six weeks Mum was sufficiently recovered and confident enough to return home where she continues to recover and improve. Mum had previously always asked us to never put her in a home, but after this experience, she has decided that if she is no longer able to fend for herself in the future she would be content to return here permanently."

"My father has been at Marriott House & Lodge for three months now. The care he has received has been consistently excellent. The staff are all very caring and considerate and nothing seems to be too much trouble when it comes to looking after my father. He is in good form, enjoys things again and is engaged in social activities. I am relieved he is here."

"These are challenging times for all care homes but since moving to Marriott House & Lodge in November my daughter has been treated with such kindness, dignity and respect. The facilities are lovely, with excellent food and numerous daily activities. The rapport amongst the staff shows they have a good hard working environment. They all clearly strive to make this a home from home."

"My father came to Marriott House & Lodge back in November last year for the final few weeks of his life and I can honestly say Im so glad he did because all the staff were absolutely amazing in helping ensure he passed as peacefully as possible. Any time I had an issue the manager and her team dealt with it straight away and they were always on hand to answer any questions I had. I literally feel like I owe you guys my life for everything you did for my dad the care, love and support you showed him was outstanding I couldn't have asked for more so from the bottom of my heart thank you all so much. The manager, you have an awesome team who deserve so much recognition thank you all again."

"My mother was in Marriott House for nearly five years. She reached the age of 102 there. I am very grateful to all the staff for always being cheerful and helpful; however, difficult things were, especially over the pandemic. It was great that Marriott House looked after Mum for so long when she had been unable to settle in three previous care homes. It is difficult to choose a care home. My advice would be to talk to the staff, and any visiting relatives, if you can. And put less weight on facilities and rooms. That said my mother's room was great, with a view of Chichester Cathedral. Living in London, the location of Marriott House was very convenient, being close to the station and the town centre. Thank you, everyone!"

"I brought my aunt here two years ago and I cannot fault it in any way. She has been happy, well looked after and has enjoyed the last years of her life. The staff have always been delightful both to me and to my aunt. They keep me well informed and are always so kind. They actually truly care about their residents, a rarity these days. The food is amazing, fantastic activities and I was able to video call my aunt weekly as I was living in Portugal! All I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"Our 93-year-old mother moved to the residential lodge in January 2024 and since that time, we have seen great improvements in her physical health, well-being and happiness. The staff at Barchester Marriott House & Lodge maintain a professional, calm approach to their work which benefits all the residents. The in-house chef cooks meals and all-day refreshments are delivered in healthy, sensibly sized portions, to a varied menu choice. Outdoor activities take advantage of the beautifully maintained gardens with plenty of spaces for quiet family get-togethers. Located at the old Westgate side of Chichester, it's only a short walk to the cathedral and city centre for shopping, restaurants and park visits. A gem of a care home in a fabulous location."

"My husband has been a resident in the Lodge for just over two years, and is very happy there. He is always treated with kindness, understanding and dignity. The team work tirelessly to meet his needs. Any request is always met with a smile and I feel part of 'the family' when I visit. I could not wish for a better place to keep my husband safe and cared for. Thank you to the amazing team."

"My mother, aged 91, was suffering from vascular dementia when she moved into Marriott House in December 2021. The management and staff immediately put our minds at rest and we knew that she would be in the best of hands. Over the next two and a half years until she passed away, she received the best professional care combined with the utmost kindness and humour from every member of staff. As family members, we were always given the warmest of welcomes when we visited and were regularly kept up to date as to how Mother was doing. It was comforting for the family to know that her last years were spent in such a caring environment and that she was happy and well looked after. We have nothing but praise for Marriott House and the staff and would have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone who is seeking the best of care for an elderly loved one."

"We had looked at a number of care homes in February/March of 2023. We were very impressed with the excellent range of provisions at Marriott House & Lodge and decided upon a placement for my late father for his ongoing care. Sadly my father passed away before he could join the Barchester family but my mum proceeded to enjoy a week's respite here immediately following his passing. She was exceptionally well cared for at a most painful and vulnerable time. I cannot thank you all enough. We will be back!"

"This is a lovely place for residents, clean and tidy and the staff are so lovely and friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them. The garden is beautiful and the residents are able to sit outside and there is a little garden for them to be involved in. I am sure there is no better place."

"I was very pleased with everything. I hope to have another week's respite, this time in the Lodge. My former university students will tell you that I was a hard grader-although there were never any complaints about my grades. As you didn't have a 'very good' category, I had to grade most of your areas as good. For much of my professional life, I have been in international organisations. I taught in Nigeria for many years. Later I had many international students and I made professional visits to Asia. I did enjoy briefly talking to some of your staff-all born after I had visited their countries. I am very much an internationalist and this aspect of my stay suited me very well. I have lived alone since 2008 when my wife moved to an EMI care home with Alzheimers. My friends and most of the staff I spoke to in Marriott House, think it is too soon for me to become a resident. Although 94, I am still very active mentally, but I am having increasing mobility problems and some tasks are much more difficult and tiring."

"The staff at Marriott House & Lodge organised a great 100th birthday party for my mum who has only been a resident for a few months. Great cake and entertainment. Despite understandable reluctance to move to a care home, my mum seems very happy with her new surroundings, friends and caring staff."

"Thank you for a fun and entertaining afternoon at the ' Hobby Horse Ascot Race Meet', which we were invited to attend with Mum. It was lovely to see so many of the residents spectating all around the course, waving flags and encouraging riders in each of the races. The staff were a real credit and great sports, participating in their own right and assisting residents who were up for joining in. Cups of tea followed and a sing song too. What a fabulous way to spend an afternoon, how lucky your residents are."

"I cannot describe how appreciative I am for the amazing treatment my mum received during the last couple of months of her life. She was treated with pure dignity and respect, and I was welcomed every day, being looked after just as much as she was. If it wasn't for the manager and the great team at Marriot House, my mum's end-of-life care would've been something I can't even think about. The honesty and integrity showed, not only with my mum but with all the residents. It didn't feel clinical and felt like home. The support I received all the way through was amazing. They were with me through all the emotional roller coaster. I will be forever grateful."

"Following a bad fall, my 90 year old mother was admitted for respite care. We chose Barchester Marriott House and Lodge because we immediately felt the real focus on the care of the resident given by our initial meeting with the general manager and administration manager. Three weeks in we are seeing a real improvement in Mum's recovery and could not be more pleased with the care and attention shown to Mum and all the other residents we see on our visits to the home. It takes real skill and dedication to manage a care home and we have found the general manager to be excellent in all aspects of the home, a really great team, also well supported by the administration manager who has years of experience and really cares."

"My father spent the last four months of his life at Barchester Marriott House & Lodge. He passed away this week. There are not enough superlatives to express the quality of care I witnessed. Staff were so kind to Dad, going the extra mile/above and beyond on numerous occasions. He told me every visit that he felt cared for and safe. Every member of staff from housekeeping, named nurses to health care assistants treated my father with dignity and compassion. We felt supported as a family when Dad passed. The general manager leads by example and has a first-class team who seem to enjoy coming to work - camaraderie amongst staff was palpable. The human touch was evident on so many occasions with a warm welcoming smile or a hug as Dad became more frail. I believe Marriott House is an exemplar in so many aspects from quality of care to supporting relatives. Thank you all for making my dad’s stay as comfortable as possible."

"Seven months ago I was faced with finding a care home place for my dad at short notice - a difficult task to get right. I am so glad I found Marriott House which has proved to be a safe, comfortable and well-managed home for him. The food is excellent and the staff are hard-working and caring. When I asked him just now for one word to describe Marriott House he said "friendly" with a smile on his face!"
