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 cinema room, which is extremely popular with our residents.
All of the bedrooms at Merlin Court have en-suite, walk-in shower rooms, are very spacious, have wall-mounted TVs and plenty of room for photos and mementos.
The team of dedicated carers and support staff work hard to ensure that everyone settles quickly into home life and they encourage residents to keeps their brains and their bodies active by taking part in the variety of activities offered. Our Marlborough care home is supported by an array of local groups, including students from the nearby Marlborough College, who enjoy a weekly visit. There’s nothing like mixing up the generations to provoke conversation!
To see what we get up to you, keep an eye on our regularly updated Facebook page, where we like to post updates on the activities and goings on in the home. If you’d like to have a chat with our Home Manager, we will be happy to answer your questions or arrange for you to visit our lovely Marlborough care home.
Of the many care homes in Wiltshire, we strive to be the best. We have established strong ties with local Wiltshire schools and associations who play a valuable role in ensuring residents remain part of the wider community. Students and nursery children come every week to read and play board games with the residents.
Activities are scheduled throughout the week by a team of dedicated Activity Co-ordinators who often arrange for entertainers and local charities to come in. Residents at Merlin Court are given the choice as to how much they would like to participate and, if there is something that particularly interests them, we will do our best to support it. Whether it’s music, crafting, dancing, walking or just trips to a local Marlborough pub, there isn’t much we don’t do!
See for yourself:
We have a dedicated dementia lounge where reminiscence sessions are popular, as are the singalongs and shared moments of reflection. We are no strangers to the internet and use it as memory resource, as well as for Skyping – which, along with our Facebook pages, are excellent means for keeping lines of communication open. Wi-Fi is available throughout the home and free for residents and guests alike. When not on our screens, engaged in activities inside or out in the garden, you’ll find us going out on trips to the lovely Wiltshire countryside in our minibus.
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!
