Review from Garrie G (Son of Resident) published on 19 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Maynell House has been, and remains, the best place for Mum's care. The staff are to be praised for the day-to-day work, their empathy for Mum and me, their attention to Mum's needs, her comfort and her overall care.

During COVID, everyone did their utmost to keep communication open, keep us up to date with Mum's health and emotional needs. They were firm but fair about COVID restrictions and to adjust to 'normal'.

Thank you Garrie for your lovely review of our home and the staff, I will pass your comments on to the staff.

My aunt is beru happy at Maynell House. The best thing, she says, is the people. She says they can't do enough for her. She enjoys trips out and the garden. The staff have been patient and thoughtful. Thank you!

Overall Experience
Mum has now been at Maynell for nearly 6 and a half years, she remains settled, happy and continues to praise the staff.

During this past year, especially with Covid restrictions, the staff have kept me informed about Mum and her health and enabled me to visit her in accordance with Government/local authority guiding. I acknowledge how difficult this has been and throughout the staff have been excellent, always chatty, friendly, smiling etc even though they have themselves been at risk.

Review from Helen (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum entered Maynell during lockdown and sadly became very ill. The staff were very caring and supportive to Mum. Always friendly and helpful when I visited. Maynell has a good range of activities for the residents and the garden is just beautiful. We were welcomed into the home to visit Mum in her last days. Her charming room was clean and tidy. The staff were very hard-working, kind, and compassionate. We are all very grateful to the fabulous staff at Maynell for looking after our Mum.

Overall Experience

My mum was very unwell and the compassion all the staff had was excellent. The care is outstanding and I know I can call on any of the wonderful staff for help and advice, at any time. The care and welfare of the residents is always first on the staffs' list of priorities. My mum has been here a long time and I would not want her to be anywhere else. All the staff have become friends, not just carers.

Overall Experience

My mum is in this care home and is very happy there. She is very well taken care of which is very reassuring for my sister and I. Peace of mind is a great thing and we have that with Mum there. When we arrive at the home to see Mum, the staff are always very happy and helpful. I would recommend this happy care home.

Review from S H (Friend of Resident) published on 23 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
All the staff are good and friendly. The resident I visit sometimes gets frustrated when she asks something of the staff and they don't get back to her. She is very understanding that the staff are busy but feels that they don't communicate to the right person. The resident has poor eyesight and can't always say who she has spoken to.

It would be good practise for whoever is entering her room to say their name but overall, the care from the staff is good.

Overall Experience

Wonderful and caring environment. Staff are friendly and supportive. My sister is a resident and is treated with dignity. They take time to speak with her and get to know her. She enjoys the activities. She feels safe and secure in the home. The room is clean and comfortable, definite value for money.

Review from Paul P (Son of Resident) published on 5 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

When my father has hospital appointments and NHS transport is unavailable the care home ensures other transport as he is wheelchair bound and has very poor eyesight. Invites to events eg., summer fete, Christmas part etc. Nice gardens outside space. Residents have trips out in the minibus, sometimes go out for a meal. Very happy with the care and support and always made welcome.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Maynell for 17 months in which time she has enjoyed the beautiful grounds. The varied activities and entertainment Mum is always treated as an individual with her own likes and dislikes. The carers are very caring and are very good. When family visit they are surprised to find Mum in such homely surroundings that do not smell as so many care homes do.

Review from Elizabeth H (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The home welcomed my father and were very relaxed and accommodating as we attempted to make him feel at home.
The staff are always very friendly and he is cared for well.

An area of weakness has been the frequency of baths - apparently meant to be once a week, but have not been happening that frequently.

Reply from Magda Kurdziel, Home Manager at Maynell House

At Maynell House we offer a choice of a bath or shower on daily basis and we understand that residents have the right to refuse baths or showers on some occasions. We keep documented daily progress notes, so in case of any issues or concerns, we are happy to advise on that matter. Please do not hesitate to arrange a meeting with me to discuss, many thanks.

I’m proud to lead a team that creates a warm, safe and welcoming home. Our staff are local, we work closely together and always go the extra mile for our residents. I’m passionate about supporting people to live their best lives — listening to their individual needs and giving them choice in what they do and how they live each day. I’ve worked in care for many years, hold my Level 5 in Adult Residential Care and Registered Manager’s Award, and I’m currently studying towards my Level 7.

“I decided to work at Healthcare Homes as I had been working in domiciliary care locally and wished to continue in care, without the travelling. I applied for a care assistant role at Maynell House and due to my previous experience in admin, I’d been offered the admin post at both Foxgrove and Maynell! My favourite part of working in a residential home is working with so many different people, residents, family members, staff, and healthcare professionals. Every day is different and that’s my favourite part.”
