Review of
The Oaks
from Carol M (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Mom became a resident of The Oaks during August 2025.
From my first initial meeting with the team I was made to feel reasured regarding all of my worries about the transition of Mom's care.
On the day Mom arrived she was welcomed by all with open arms into her new surroundings , her huge smile

gave me the sense of her happiness that we had not seen for a long time......
Mom has been looked after by this incredible team of laundry ,catering ,carers ,nurses , activity & events , reception management who go over and above to make Mom's journey the best we could ever wish for.
My daughters and grandaughters shared a magical experince where a shopping day was created for the residents to spend role play £1 notes on items from stalls ranging from a variety of items.
After Mom's first few weeks , i recieved a beautiful picture of Mom enjoying a glass of prosecco sitting in the sunshine on the patio celebrating National Prossecco day.....
Well done The Oaks you are truly amazing.

The Maples
from J F (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident for a number of months and requires a lot of support. The manger has been approachable and supportive, and all the staff, from reception to house keepers, carers & nurses have been helpful, caring & respectful with my mother & our family. I was always worried about my mother

being in a care home, but not at The Maples, I feel she is in a safe & caring environment. It has a really positive & proactive atmosphere.

Reply from Samantha Crawley, CEO at The Maples

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. The team at the home will be delighted to read this. We have a fab team, led by an exceptional leadership team, it's so good to see that this translates into the kind, compassionate care and support that you and your mother feel everyday. Thank you S

Overall Experience

I was very pleased that a place was found for my Aunt on discharge from hospital. I have been very happy for the care given to her up to and including her death. The staff have always been welcoming and cheerful. They have answered questions asked and found solutions to issues and problems presented.

I would recommend the 2nd floor placement to anybody who asked me re care for a loved one.

Acer Lodge
from S G (Niece of Resident) published on 25 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My uncle has a life ending condition of Motor Neurone Disease, We had a very stressful and upsetting experience trying to discharge my uncle to an appropriate care facility to accommodate his needs, we had to attend many meetings to get to the appropriate safe discharge plan for him. I was given many

care homes to look at and none gave me the evidence or the criteria that was required to care for my uncles needs.
It was only when I walked into Acer Lodge did I feel reassured and confident that this would be the place I would be happy for him to be cared for. All the staff were professional, respectful and could answer any of my concerns, the warm friendly atmosphere throughout my initial viewing gave me confidence I had found the right place. I was given the opportunity to speak with nurses who would care for my uncles needs and would be happy to take advice from the Motor Neurone Disease team where he was hospitalised and work together in my uncles best interests.

Thank you ever so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful and heartfelt review of Acer Lodge and it's team. We are so happy to have such an engaged, caring and lovely team and they will be so happy to read this. Thank you S

from Debbie I (Relative of Resident) published on 15 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Beautiful, welcoming home with plenty of space for residents to move about. Excellent views over the surrounding areas. Relatives and friends made very welcome. Private areas to sit with residents both inside and outside. Drinks available for visitors which is much appreciated when travelling long distances.

The staff are friendly and caring. Residents are very well cared for and happy. The home is very different from any other I have been in and took me a while to embrace it. The activities are brilliant and the home seems to focus on fun, laughter and living in the moment.

The Oaks
from Johanna R (Wife of Resident) published on 7 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The Oaks is a wonderful home! Modern, beautifully furnished, well kept and clean. All staff from house keepers, laundry, kitchen, carers and management, are very caring, lovely, friendly, and happy people (they rarely waiver even towards the end of long challenging shifts). They all do their very best

for the residents and often go beyond. The carers are just incredible with residents, supporting them in all their daily needs and engaging with them. On my husbands floor there is lots of chatter & exhubrance (along with quiet times) with the carers often leading impromptu singing & dancing from the dining room much to everyones delight! I find management team are also approachable very supportive and will listen and act on any concerns or requests to the very best of their abilities and are led by a wonderful and manager. The activities leaders also get a special mention for all their lots of inovative & enjoyable ideas.

Acer Lodge
from Alfedo S (Son of Resident) published on 27 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Our father was in Acer Lodge for 7 weeks. He was cared for by many staff, who were all very caring, compassionate, polite, knowledgeable and considerate, right up to the time of his passing away. Nothing was every too much trouble to help him and also anything we needed they sorted. The 3 young gents

who looked after him mainly were so attentive to him and he seemed to enjoy them spending time with him. Overall, we would definately recommend Acer Lodge as a place to be looked after in your time of need.

Reply from Samantha Crawley, CEO at Acer Lodge

Thank you so much for this feedback, the team truly care and we are so happy that you experienced this whilst your father was with us. Feedback such as yours is fuel for this team and they will appreciate seeing this. Many thanks S

Overall Experience

Mum has been in the Maple since October 2024 and the care she has received has been second to none. The staff and carers have been excellent and we could not wish for a better care home for mum to be in, They are caring, thoughtful of mums needs and keep us as a family well updated.
The care team

have been amazing with caring for mum even when she is not the easiest to care for due to her unpredictability.
I would highly recommend this care home if you want reassurance that you know your family member will be cared for unconditionally the team treat the residents like one of there own family, this is the place for your loved ones.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff at The Oaks. My sister has settled in well and takes part in lots of activities. Where she lived before , she spent a lot of time on her own. Making the decision to move her was a huge one but I am so happy I did. Although I don't live anywhere near,

I feel reassured that the care is of the highest standard and the activities are varied and numerous. The staff are always ready to speak to me on the phone when I ring to see how my sister is. Thank you again to all at The Oaks

The Rowans
from Alexander O (Friend of Resident) published on 22 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I recently had the exceptional pleasure of visiting my friend at The Rowans Care Home, and I was truly impressed by the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed into a warm and friendly environment that immediately put me at ease. The home was spotlessly clean, with a fresh and calming

atmosphere throughout.

What stood out most was the kindness and professionalism of the staff. They were not only attentive and caring toward the residents but also genuinely friendly and approachable. It was clear that they take great pride in their work and treat everyone with respect and compassion.

The Rowans Care Home feels like a true home from home-a place where residents are well looked after and valued. It's reassuring to know that my friend is in such good hands. Highly recommended to anyone looking for quality care in a supportive and clean environment.

Overall Experience

My husband has been in The Rowans for about six weeks now. We've found it to be very friendly, from reception to the carers on the household. Its very clean and my husbands room is excellent. My only criticism is that I would like the carers to engage more with the residents on a one to one, but other

than that it's a very well run care home and I would recommend it.

Reply from Samantha Crawley, CEO at The Rowans

Thank you very much for your review - we will ask the manager and the team to share their plans with you - so that you feel assured that your husband has the engagement he needs moving forward. Many thanks

The Rowans
from Cath R (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Entrusting the care of a loved one to someone else is a massive decision, but the moment I stepped foot into the Rowans I just knew it was going to be the right place for Mum.
Everyone treated her with dignity, respect, care and genuine affection. In her final days she was kept comfortable and pain

free.
Mum was bed bound but the staff checked in on her regularly throughout the day to make sure she was ok or just for a chat. For those residents able to use the communal areas, there are loads of great activities and there is a lovely atmosphere.
The home is spotlessly clean and the food is amazing.
Every member of the team I met was absolutely lovely and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Rowans.

Overall Experience

Mom admitted from hospital - room lovely. No care plan discussed with family. Mom complained food was often cold and unedible. Often left uncomfortable as personal not carried out and then would need full change. Staff often turned buzzer off without answering query and would return some time later.

Very understaffed on daily basis. Staff doing their best. Mom was discharged with hematoma - resulting in re-admission to hospital.

Reply from Samantha Crawley, CEO at The Maples

The Blossom Suite, which is run separately to the care home, is an enablement space, we work with people to help them move on to their next destination. We are so sorry to hear that you were not happy with your experience here. The plan of care for people in the suite is very different to that of someone who lives in a care home and each person is set on a pathway of care to enable them to achieve set outcomes. We are so sorry that we didn't explain how our systems worked, it would be good to speak with you to learn what we can do better. Our team can only switch off the buzzer within the room, they must 'tag' in to the device on the wall to do this. We have helped many people achieve their goal of going home following the care & physio received in the Blossom Suite. We are routinely inspected by our commissioners and staffing levels within the suite are typically very good. Please don't hesitate to make contact so that we can explore what happened during your Mother's stay with us.
