Review from S W (Son of Resident) published on 23 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
For over four years my mother stayed. I found the Maypole a relaxed, happy place for the residents.
Each time I arrived, I was greeted by a member of staff who provided everything I needed.
Nearer to the time when my mother was getting worse, the staff rang me to advise the current situation with
warmth and compassion.
I would recommend the Maypole to others. Having a member of staff on the reception desk at the weekends is a good idea.
Thank you, Maypole, to all the staff who provided care and administration for my mother.

So sorry to hear of your loss, please accept our condolences. Thank you for your review and kind words about our staff. It is also good to know that there is a relaxed and happy atmosphere in the home.

Starting from the top, the Maypole has an excellent hands-on manager. The obvious improvement in staff morale in recent weeks is at least partly due to her.
My daughter who is doubly incontinent is superbly cared for. There is a happy family atmosphere.
Some residents have pets, such as goldfish.
There is an extremely good activity programme and a successful fundraising team organised by residents families.

I have been impressed with the attitude of all staff, even in quite difficult situations. The care and attention I have witnessed has been exemplary. They have bent over backwards to accommodate my mother's 'demands' and to be supportive and caring to her family. How they maintain their patience and
smiles is a lesson to us all!

I feel that when I visit my friend at Maypole, she is amongst friendly staff and indeed I feel she is among friends and is very well cared for. I do not wish to end up in care but if I had to, this would be my first choice. God bless.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting my sister in the Maypole Care Home for about 6 years. Although general standards have been high, some care and nursing staff in the past have let the care home down. This has changed since the new manager has taken charge. The staff morale has increased and the little things have
improved. I am secure in the thought that my sister is well looked after 24 hours a day and the new manager is a credit to Bupa.

Review from Phillippa P (Friend of Resident) published on 21 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having looked long and hard to find the nicest "home" for my friend, I checked website reviews and felt the Maypole seemed the best I could find although certainly not the cheapest. On arriving my friend had the usual "settling in" troubles - which I spoke to the manager about. She assured me "it will
all be alright", and she was right. My friend has settled very well and is happy. She loved the care ladies and lads, they help her to choose which necklace to wear today - which really means a lot. We have been totally supported by everyone and every request and query met to complete satisfaction. I cannot praise the manager and staff enough.
Reply from Tom Meyer, Customer Service Administrator at Maypole Care Home

Thank you for writing this, we do understand that the transition can be difficult, as with any significant change in surroundings. And it is delightful to hear that your friend is now settled in and enjoying her time with everyone.

Review from Linda E (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As usual, all staff are polite, caring and spend time listening. There is always a warm, smiling welcome. Dad has joined in a lot of activities and helped where necessary. Dad has difficulty with his speech and staff go the extra mile to listen and understand. A couple of evenings ago he had a slight
problem with his catheter and in a bit of pain. One of the carers stayed on a while with him past their normal leaving time whilst the nurse adjusted the catheter. This is one of many ways that show they're caring. An excellent home from home.

All my needs are met. All staff are cheerful and courteous. My room is comfortable with a garden view and is always well heated. My meals are always served hot and plenty of it. Sadly my appetite is very small, but the staff always make sure I have something they know I will eat and enjoy. I do not
join in the activities as I prefer my own company. They always invite me but accept my refusal.

99% of the time all the family requests are met. All staff are very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Housekeeping of individual rooms could be more thorough. Common areas such as reception, dining and lounge kept well.

Review from Carol K (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad was resident at Maypole Care Home December 2014 to his death 18/10/2016
The family would especially like to express their gratitude at the excellent end of life care he received and the understanding and care extended to the family during the last 10 days of his life
ALL staff from manager to
the registered nurses, the care assistants, the kitchen/catering staff to general maintenance staff/cleaners treated dad and ourselves with courtesy, love and support. They provided dad with individualised loving care, respect and dignity, acknowledging his uniqueness and personality


We were kept updated, GP attendance was promptly actioned as required with prompt response
Other residents were able to visit him as they wished


Having worked for the NHS, I am only too aware of the difficulties of providing personal care at the end of life- The Maypole proved that the essential devotion necessary for such care is possible within a residential home environment.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.275)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.275) out of 10 for Maypole Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.275 for Maypole Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (93 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 255 Ratings = 4.275
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Maypole Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
