Mais House is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac just a few miles from the sea in the picturesque coastal town of Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex. They have a regular minibus service into Bexhill-On-Sea where residents can enjoy a walk along the seafront, a spot of shopping, or enjoy a drink and good food at one of the bars, cafes and restaurants. They also offer trips out to places of interest in the Sussex area such as Brighton or Eastbourne as well as farther afield such as trips to London.

There’s a shared bond at Mais House because each resident has a Service connection. It means there’s a team spirit and a feeling that everyone looks out for each other. Their excellent team of care assistants and nurses provide a genuinely relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Mais House feel that sharing in the lives of veterans who did so much for this country is both a pleasure and a privilege. Residents can relax in one of the lounges, enjoy a drink at the bar or take advantage of a quiet, well stocked library. There’s a conservatory with pleasant views and beautiful landscaped gardens which have full wheelchair access.

Social interaction, camaraderie and helping residents pursue their interests and hobbies play a big part in day-to-day life at Mais House. Their dedicated activity co-ordinator organises a whole range of activities and events, including a summer fête, evening concerts, live music, art classes and dinners.

I have known Sid for many years, and knowing he is cared for at Mais House gives me enormous peace of mind. The team at Mais House are truly exceptional and go above and beyond for both residents and their families. Every interaction I've had has been warm, caring, and thoughtful. From the friendly
reception staff, to the wonderful kitchen team always offering a cuppa, to the incredible care staff who know their residents so personally and compassionately - the atmosphere is genuinely special. The grounds are beautiful, the activities are abundant, and there is such a strong sense of kindness throughout the home.


Living in New Zealand, it means the world that the team help keep me connected with Sid through emails, phone calls, photos, and even offers to arrange video calls. A special thank you to Leanne Clark for always going the extra mile. Mais House is a truly wonderful place, and the care and compassion shown every day does not go unnoticed.
With love from NZ,
Kathleen xx

Reply from Susan Knight, Registered Manager at Mais HouseDear Kathleen,
Thank you so much for your truly beautiful words. Your review means more to us than we can say. It is incredibly special to hear from someone who knows Sid so well, and we are deeply touched that being here at Mais House brings you peace of mind, especially from so far away.
We are so proud of our whole team, and your kind recognition of everyone-from reception and the kitchen to our care staff-will genuinely mean a great deal to them. They all strive every day to create the warm, compassionate, and welcoming environment you've described, and it's wonderful to know that this is felt not only by our residents, but by their families too.
Staying connected with loved ones is so important to us, and we're really glad we can help you feel close to Sid despite the distance. We will be sure to pass on your special thanks to Leanne-she will be absolutely delighted to be mentioned.
All the best Sue Knight and the Mais Team

The best thing I ever did for Dad was to get him into Mais House. All the staff here have been nothing but really friendly, caring and helpful. Mais House has an excellent reputation and quite rightly so it's a class above any other carehome I have seen.

It means a great deal to our team to know that their kindness, care, and dedication have made such an impression. We strive to create a warm, supportive, and welcoming environment for all our residents and their families, and your words are a wonderful affirmation of that commitment.

Your recognition of Mais House as "a class above" is incredibly appreciated and will be shared with the whole team, as feedback like yours is what motivates us to continue delivering the highest standard of care.

When visiting my wifes step dad, the care home felt very relaxed, happy and caring towards the residents. The atmosphere reflects the positive attitude that the care home management has built upon a daily basis. When dad arrived at the home, he was very poorly. With the atmosphere and the care, his
health has been improved noticeably, which means he was able to celebrate his 91st birthday with his friends and family. The staff from the dining room, to nursing, entertainment, and domestic staff all made this afternoon enjoyable for him, which, as a family, we are very grateful.
Reply from Susan Knight, Registered Manager at Mais HouseThank you very much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you find the home to have a relaxed, happy, and caring atmosphere, as this is something we strive to create every day.

It is wonderful to know that your wife's stepdad's health has improved during his time with us. Supporting our residents' wellbeing is at the heart of what we do, and your comments mean a great deal.

We are especially pleased that he was able to celebrate his 91st birthday surrounded by loved ones, and that our team could help make the occasion so enjoyable. Your kind words about all our staff will be shared, as they will truly appreciate the recognition.

Thank you again for your feedback and for trusting us with his care.

It was my Father In Laws 91st Birthday celebration this month. We started by having lunch which was the first time for me and I have to say the dinning room looked fantastic and the meal was wonderful and the dinning room staff were beautiful and amazing. During the afternoon we had tea and cake (which
was made and baked in house) WOW!
I would also like to say what a wonderful atmosphere and homely feel Mais House has and we are always made very welcome by all the staff and management. I would highly recommend this home to any family as the care and atmosphere is just second to none.
Reply from Susan Knight, Registered Manager at Mais HouseThank you so much for taking the time to share such a lovely review. We're truly honoured that you chose to celebrate your Father-in-Law's 91st birthday with us - what a special occasion!

It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your first dining experience with us and that both the meal and the dining room made such a positive impression. Our team will be delighted to know their efforts helped make the day memorable, and your kind words about the staff mean a great deal.

We're also so pleased you enjoyed the afternoon tea and our homemade cake - it's always nice to hear when those little touches stand out!
Creating a warm, homely atmosphere where families feel welcome is at the heart of what we do, so your comments are incredibly appreciated. Thank you as well for your recommendation; it means so much to us.
We look forward to welcoming you all again soon.

I would just like to thank the Restaurant Manager and staff for their efforts in making the dining room so pretty this Mothers Day.The swathes of pink ribbon on the chairs and tables, pink carnations on the table, made a very attractive display. It was such a nice environment in which to have lunch
with my mother. I remain confident that Mais House is one of the best places she could be for her needs.
Reply from Susan Knight, Registered Manager at Mais HouseThank you so much for your kind feedback. We are delighted to hear that you and your mother enjoyed the Mothers Day dining experience and that the teams efforts created such a lovely atmosphere.

Every time we visit my mother-in-law at Mais House, we are reassured that she is receiving the best possible care. All staff who work there, whether in kitchen, domestic or clinical - always name-check her and show genuine care and affection. We must also say how grateful we are to the superb culinary
and dining team, who have managed to tempt her into putting on a little much-needed weight. Having eaten in the dining room ourselves, it is easy to see why! With our sincere thanks for all you do.
Reply from Susan Knight, Registered Manager at Mais HouseThank you so much for taking the time to share such a kind and heartfelt review. It truly means a great deal to all of us at Mais House.

Building genuine relationships with our residents is at the heart of what we do, and your words are a wonderful acknowledgement of that.
We are especially pleased that the culinary and dining team have been able to encourage her appetite and support her in regaining some much-needed weight. They will be thrilled to hear your feedback and we completely agree, the food is rather tempting!
Thank you again for your thoughtful message. Your appreciation means so much to the team, and we are honoured to be part of your mother-in-law's care.

I only visited once, but was impressed with so many aspects of this care home. To start, the friendliness and efficiency of the staff was comforting.The dining room had the atmosphere of a restaurant and the menu could be tailored to suit individual tastes. There was a lovely garden where residents
could go out to or be taken whenever they wanted. Altogether very impressive. My friend sadly was only there for a short time but he had the very best ofcare.

From the moment I arrived to the time I left, every member of staff I met was professional, caring, and friendly. We had lunch in the dining room, and I met several residents who had "adopted" my brother-in-law and made him feel welcome. The food was excellent and properly cooked. The dining room staff
were all very friendly and helpful, and the service was prompt and attentive, better in fact than some supposedly good restaurants that I have patronised. I was impressed with the range of optional activities available, and the room was pleasant.

Dick came Mais House for a rest bite break.


As this was the first time for him to be away from me as his carer, he was apprehensive.


My sons visited him in my absence and always found Dick happy, though one occasion he was tired( this is normal for Dick as he sleeps a lot at home.)


He is difficult

to assess as with his dementia he is often very forgetful. My opinion is that he has been very happy though home sick and missing Daisy, our small dog.


We, the boys and myself have been impressed with all the staff, who although busy are friendly and very helpful.


Dick had a well found room with en suite with all he needed. All was spotless and I found was perfect for his privacy as needed.


Thank you Mais House for looking after Dick so well, it made a huge difference to my break knowing he was so well cared for.


He seems to have made a friend in Ron and he said he would like to come and see him.


Sue

I am very grateful to the lovely, kind staff at Mais House, Bexhill , who are looking after my dear father-in-law so well.
He has been visiting Mais House for respite care over the past three years, but has now become a permanent resident.
The staff are always so helpful, patient and kind to all
of those in their care. There are lots of activities for the residents to join in if they so wish and The Link area is such a nice place for them to sit.
I've joined my father-in-law for lunch there on several occasions and it's like a five star hotel! There's always plenty of choice, the portions are just the right size and the food is delicious and homemade.
Thank you for all you are doing.

Review from Chris H (Husband of Resident) published on 11 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife stayed at Mais House for a three-week period of respite care.
Once again 5-star care and service.
The food was well prepared and served. Activities were varied and inclusive. Nursing, care staff, dining staff and volunteers were always happy to support and understanding of needs.
Hope to
return as she felt safe and secure thank you, everyone.
Reply from Claire Bradley, Business Manager at Mais HouseThank you for your kind words which I will pass on to the Mais Team. We hope to welcome your wife back soon. Best wishes to you and your family.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Mais House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.893 for Mais House is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 270 Ratings = 4.893
  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 Mais House is based on 23 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 23 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.
