Review from E C (Resident / Service User) published on 21 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Continual feeling of unease, never seem to get proper answers to my questions. Food has deteriorated with dry or undercooked potatoes. Never get what I ordered with answers that avoid the issue at both lunch and dinner. Breakfast is the only meal I can rely on and then I have to ask for correct cutlery to manage it . The equipment is always breaking down when I am in it therefore causing pain. I find it difficult on visits from family to talk to them as I don't want to upset them. I Feel uncomfortable and unsafe. I notice I am not the only one from reviewes. Nights are particularly tricky as carers act in a peculiar way, usually only manage 2/3 hours sleep.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Maypole Care Home

We are sorry to hear about your concerns. Our management team are aware of this situation and are due to have a meeting with both yourself and your family to discuss this further as we do try to continually improve our service

Review from L P (Wife of Resident) published on 17 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I would be happier if all staff were instructed in the art of basic dressing. On several occasions, weekdays as well as weekends, I have arrived to find my husband with no socks on! Just slippers rubbing on his ingrown toenails! Also, a cardigan or jumper and no t-shirt! I understand all staff are very busy - but when he's unable to dress himself because of his condition, it's vital he's at least dressed properly.

Reply from Natasha Burns-Leigh, Customer Service Advisor at Maypole Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We will discuss your concerns about your Husband not being dressed correctly with the home's manager to help them improve their service.

Review from I M (Resident / Service User) published on 7 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff are very sympathetic to my situation and failings. They treat me with dignity and are helpful with my problems. The activities are very good but the staff responsible are sometimes under stress as their workload is increased. The carers appear to be stressed as rushing from one job to another, no time to chat etc. I feel safe and cared for. I am still waiting for chair.

Review from S P (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Overall we have been pleased with the care home but we have had to monitor and chase up some care that was needed. Mum came here to be helped to get mobile but we have had to request this on a daily basis.
Evening handover time is a problem as not enough staff on duty.

Difficulty to get into the home in the evenings.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you have found the need to chase things up. We will discuss your comments with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service as our residents health and wellbeing is an absolute priority.

Review from Wingsze L (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My experience with Maypole has been positive. The staff are attentive, compassionate and always take time to ensure resident (my father) are comfortable and cared for. My dad has vascular dementia and he's losing the ability to communicate. So it really depends on the care that Maypole provides. I always find my dad is fresh and clean, context and he seems to setting down here in Maypole well. The only downside is that the relative gateway stopped available to family since Nov 2024 so we cannot look at care note while I'm away from my dad. I used to look at the carer's note everyday, so I know what my dad has been done everyday.

Reply from Lisa Henderson, Customer Care Advisor at Maypole Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We will discuss your feedback with the home's manager regarding the Gateway app to help them continually improve their service.

Review from Valerie W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 23 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother-in-law was a resident for 7 weeks at Maypole before she passed away in May 2025. The Nursing staff and carers were lovely however the financial team there are horrendous. We put a couple of hundred pounds in cash for any personal use for personal bits etc, hairdressers, papers, outings etc. Since she passed away 4 1/2 weeks ago I have made 19 phone calls, 7 emails and still not had the personal allowance refund of £160 as I was promised. Every excuse given.... The administrator has left, they need 2 signatures and now they have a new home manager. I'm still waiting for the refund!!!!!!

Disgusting way to be treat family Bupa especially when you have lost a loved one ......

Review from G P (Father of Resident) published on 9 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have just spent seven good days in respite care at Maypole Care Home, where my son is also a resident. Staff/ residents relationships are excellent - always a greeting by name, cheery would of encouragement and a willingness to help. A series of activities was sociable and creative, musical and memory testing ways. A choice of good food was always available.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Maypole Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear from family members and former residents feeling like they enjoyed their stay and that their loved one is cared for and looked after.

Review from Vivien K (Sister of Resident) published on 16 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All the staff are very caring and bring a happy energy to their clients . I really appreciate the fact that they are respectful around my brothers needs .When I am not able to visit him one of the carers takes a phone to him( because he is blind ) and this gives us a chance to catch up . He recently had a birthday and the staff all made it a special day -with a cake from the chef . These touches of kindness and consideration mean so much to him and me .Thanks to all the staff who look after him!

Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Maypole Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. It is always wonderful to hear words like "Caring" and "Respectful" being used to describe our staff. It is lovely to hear that your Brother's birthday was so special and we are pleased to hear that you can feel at ease with him in our care. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.

I would give the care home 40%. Carers are not very helpful. Take forever to answer the buzzer. I've had to change bedding as staff have been asked but they say will come back but don't. I've seen them walk by when the buzzer is going. I have had a chat with the manager but nothing has changed.

Review from Charley H (Husband of Resident) published on 30 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The staff are kind and caring, although under extra pressure due to staff shortages. I feel a more personal level of care would easily be achieved if there were more staff to take the pressure off.

However, they all work incredibly hard and always try their best. The home is lean and tidy, but a little run down and outdated. Although, it's clear to see improvements happening all the time.
