Merling Care Homes is a privately owned group with a people-first approach to residential and nursing care. Under the leadership of Managing Director Roger Brown, we have revitalised both homes — bringing fresh thinking, higher standards and a genuine commitment to doing things differently.
Roger’s background in technology leadership directly enhances the care we provide; from improving safety systems and staff training platforms to ensuring families have greater transparency and peace of mind than ever before.
We recruit outstanding people, invest in their development and build teams that stay — because consistency matters deeply to residents and their families. The results are reflected in the feedback we consistently receive from residents, relatives and healthcare professionals.
We listen, we learn and we keep improving — always guided by what matters most to the people in our care.
Our vision is to keep growing while never losing the warm, home-from-home feel that makes Merling Care Homes a place people are proud to call home.
Since bringing Glebe House and Moorland House into the Merling Care family, we have invested significantly in both — renovating and modernising throughout to create spaces that feel genuinely warm and welcoming.
Beyond the bricks and mortar, we’ve built strong leadership teams and put real policies in place to attract, develop and retain exceptional staff. Because when our people thrive, so do our residents.
Everything we do is shaped by our core values: Understanding, Calmness, Kindness, Trustworthiness, Positivity and Respectfulness.
We keep our homes intentionally small. This creates a relaxed, familiar environment where residents feel safe and settled among consistent, friendly faces — something families tell us matters enormously.
We listen closely to residents, families and healthcare professionals, and have built our recruitment, training and retention strategy around what they tell us they need most: strong leadership and staff who stay. When people feel at home here, we know we’re getting it right.
The continued success of our homes is reliant on providing safe and nurturing environments run by an effective leadership team, and committed staff.
Our priority continues to be the well-being and happiness of our residents. We know that a successful care home requires great staff, and pride ourselves on recruiting amazing people who share our values. We are fully committed to investing in staff development and put all of our staff through a comprehensive training program and routinely ensure that they are trained in the latest methods, techniques and policies.
