Maycroft Residential Care

The atmosphere is always friendly with staff keen to fill me in on my mother's participation in recent activities, although I suspect a hint of exaggeration as to the extent of her contribution. The Maycroft offers a range of activities and whilst my mother's ability to participate is limited, she still benefits from the musical and singing activities. These days, she would probably be quite happy to stay in bed all day, but they make the effort to get her up, dressed and into the dayroom. Whilst she needs to be put back to bed in the afternoon, her door remains open with music playing which she always liked at home. I have never doubted that she is well cared for. Recommendation - provision of sheltered accommodation for partner to reside in.

Sadly this was the month my brother-in-law died. He was in Maycroft for four years during which time he had superb care from all the members of staff. The accommodation was excellent, all the food was beautifully cooked by the chef and assistants. The entertainment was great with regular visits from singers which all the residents thoroughly enjoyed. All in all, even though my sister would liked to have looked after her husband at home she could not have managed so Maycroft made her life so much better of the wonderful way they looked after him.

Four and a half years ago, my husband had to go into a care home. I visited many before I decided on Maycroft Residential Care. I used to visit several times a day, lunch time, mornings and even during the night. During my husband's time at Maycroft Residential Care, it became a second home to both myself and my husband, the staff were great, very understanding and treated my husband with dignity. I could not praise the carers and management enough because of the care and love I found there. I still visit.

A varied range of activities on offer.

My mother has been a resident of Maycroft for three years. She has dementia, has a suprapubic catheter, cannot walk, talk and often lashes out in frustration. She is treated with respect and cared for very well. The staff always shave time for the residents even though they are constantly busy. There is always an activity twice a day and music which the residents love. The food is freshly made and of a high standard. The staff are friendly and caring and keep relatives informed.

My mother's keyworker has been super. She always contacts me with any changes in my mother's condition.

Excellent care home, staff very caring and treat us all with dignity. Food outstanding.

I came into contact with Maycroft Residential Care when my dear love, my partner, became a resident. My distress was very evident to the manager and staff. We were helped through a very difficult time, our distress was assuaged. The comfort and cleanliness (sparkling is the word!!), the consistent help my lady has and continues to receive, I am welcomed on my daily visits, I have I have lunch daily and the food is excellent and varied. The activities and visits to places bespeak an attitude and approach to the residents needs both mental and physical! I cannot speak too highly of Maycroft Residential Care.

My husband who had advanced Alzheimer's and therefore very little language or understanding was very happy and contented in this home. During the last 4 months, he became bed bound as the illness advanced. As I do not drive and live alone, I did not want this as it would have meant I could visit him every day or at night if necessary. The manager and senior staff decided he should stay in his own room with a hospital bed and mattress. Suitable food was prepared and he was kept clean and comfortable for the last 14 weeks of his life. They kept me well informed of any changes and liaised regularly with the G.P. He could not have been better looked after anywhere else and certainly not in the hospital. He recognised the regular staff and allowed them to help him to the line.

Since arriving at Maycroft, my sister has gained weight and her overall health and wellbeing has improved beyond all expectations. The care she receives at Maycroft has without a doubt extended her life.

Maycroft stands head and shoulders above the rest.

The ones with dementia could be a bit more segregated from those with more sound minds. The care home is very, very good clean and tidy. The staff are always welcoming and polite. Overall I'm am please my brother is in such a good home.

This is a wonderful home with really caring staff and excellent management. My mother, who has Alzheimer's, has done really well since moving here. She loves the activities and entertainments put on for the residents.

All staff are caring and considerate and we are more than happy that mum is well cared for. The home is clean and the rooms are pleasant and bright. There are activities and a selection of singers go in on a regular basis. Overall an excellent home.

My mother has been a resident at Maycroft for some time. I have never had cause to question the standard of care she has received. The staff have always been approachable. Although my mother has dementia, she has an excellent rapport with the staff, both nursing and ancillary. I am very happy with the home.

The Manager is to be complemented on the way this home is run. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone thinking of putting a dear one in residence here.

Maycroft Care Home is first class. All the residents are very happy, comfortable and very well cared for. Food entertainment is provided, relatives and friends are always welcomed to visit at any time. The staff are all very friendly and willing to answer any questions asked.

Caring and helpful. Staff make this a friendly and efficient home with my limited experience. I suspect the residents are comfortable and seem happy. They respond to residents needs professionally with care and compassion.
