"There was something about Martlets that always felt calming and comforting right from when we walked through the door. They did so much more than just managing the medical side of things and really listened to what Dad wanted and to us as a family."

Our CQC Rating

Martlets’ last CQC inspection report was published in February 2016 prior to the rebuilding and refurbishment of our hospice, therefore our CQC report shows as ‘archived’ on the CQC website. Our 2016 CQC report can be found here.

We moved back to our new Hospice building at Wayfield Avenue in November 2023 following a CQC site inspection where our hospice was declared compliant against all CQC standards. Our services have not been inspected since we moved to our new building.
