Merlin Court Care Home, Marlborough The Common, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8 1JR

Merlin Court offers residential, respite and dementia care in Marlborough, just a five-minute walk from the centre of one of Wiltshire’s most historic market towns. It adjoins Marlborough Common and is only a two-minute drive from the A346 Swindon Road.

Many of the staff at our home are loyal, long-standing employees, which is reflected in the consistency of the residential and dementia care provided. Our motivation is our residents’ well-being, celebrating their lives and enabling them to live life to the full.

Our Marlborough care home is truly splendid and was recently refurbished. We enjoy a quiet location next to Marlborough Common and are surrounded by a lovely, landscaped garden. The entrance opens onto a spacious galleried reception and modern café area. The latest addition to Merlin Court is our entertainment suite, which is extremely popular with our residents.

Our Marlborough care home chefs ensure that everyone receives the very best, nutritionally balanced meals, using fresh ingredients, locally sourced from Wiltshire suppliers where possible and following the seasons. Health considerations and dietary needs are always considered. We recognise that good hydration is an essential to well-being and encourage good hydration habits, but residents are free to enjoy an aperitif and a glass of wine or beer with their meals as well.

Dining is an important social event in the life of the home and is often eagerly anticipated, though it is always possible to eat in one’s own room if preferred, and we can always rustle up a quick snack when asked. At coffee and teatime, you’ll find residents enjoying the delicious homemade cakes and pastries that are baked fresh daily; healthy drinks and fresh fruit are available too. Birthdays and anniversaries are honoured with a special cake and we particularly welcome friends and family to join us. Come and see for yourself!
