Review from Chris H (Husband of Resident) published on 11 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
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 House

Thank 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.

Overall Experience
My mother-in-law celebrated her 101st birthday at Mais House yesterday. The staff made a really special day for her with friends and family. We were all entertained by a ukulele group with a lovely tea with birthday cake.

Mum has been a resident for 10 years now and is very happy and well cared for, giving our family peace of mind. A big thank you to the manager and all the team for coordinating such a precious and memorable day.

Reply from Claire Bradley, Business Manager at Mais House

We are so pleased you were able to come and enjoy such a memorable day. She looked very elegant as always in her gold, it's hard to believe she is the remarkable age of 101. Best wishes from the Mais House team.

Review from Eric W (Resident / Service User) published on 12 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

After 4 months in the home, my assessment of the home came about. Firstly on my arrival I was so ill I did not know where I was. My weight had gone from 15.5 stone to 21 stone. I was drowning in water, I had several falls, a stroke followed by Covid whilst in hospital. On my arrival back at the home the medical team along with the caring staff decided that I had been using Insulin. My doctors and chemist were changed indirectly after being hospitalised. I lost several pounds on my return to the home. Plenty of dedicated care and attention.

Review from Georgia L (Sister of Resident) published on 22 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My brother spent the last months of his life under the excellent care of the staff at Mais House. My family and I will be forever grateful to the nurses, carers and general staff who took such pains to make him comfortable and understand his complex condition. Mais House is a very well-run home but what makes it unique is the sense of camaraderie, the teamwork and the genuine kindness of the staff. Visitors are always welcome and the various events are good fun. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Reply from Claire Bradley, Business Manager at Mais House

Thank you for taking the time to give such a lovely review. It was a pleasure to have your brother here with us at Mais. Although he was here a relatively short time the team enjoyed getting to know and bring out his character. I know one of our amazing care team particularly enjoyed the time she...

Review from Ann D (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My father was a resident of Mais House for only a few months. I can honestly say he could not have received better care. The staff were all so caring and understanding of his needs. They also supported us as a family, and when he passed away, could not have been more empathetic and understanding. From the manager down to the laundry staff, all were very pleasant, friendly and supportive. I am so pleased he spent his last days in such an amazing place.

Reply from Claire Bradley, Business Manager at Mais House

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a warm review. It was a pleasure to look after your father and pleased you and your family felt supported during such a difficult time. With best wishes to you all from the team at Mais House.

Review from Marion G (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum lived with you all there at Mais with not a worry in the world. I would visit and she always looked so smart in her beautiful kept clothes, her hair was always brushed - she looked like the real lady she was. All staff gave Mum a chance to live her life like royalty. Her meals each day were fit for a Queen - all delicately placed on the tray. Tea and cake served regularly as if she were in her own home. She could choose anything she wanted to eat and drink 24 hours a day - every day.
Her room, I was able to make it into her own home. All she needed was there with her. Nothing was too much trouble for any of you to help Mum adapt to her new life with you all.
You have all been amazing at taking care of not just Mum, but us all as a family - I felt you were my family - I felt Mais House was my home. I felt supported and loved each time I visited. Thank you for all you have done for our beautiful Mum and us as a family.

Bless each and every one of you!

Reply from Claire Bradley, Business Manager at Mais House

Overall Experience

I have two friends who have been resident in Mais House for some months. They are a married couple and have expressed to me how well they have been taken care of and enjoy some of the many activities available at the care home. I am impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and management. The atmosphere is a welcoming one. I have been there at meal times on occasions and it is always good with choices offered.

My dad and I were very happy with the home and all the care the staff gave with a friendly smile or word. Was offered a drink when visiting. The room and home were very clean and no bad odours hanging around. Dad did join in with all the activities offered but the choice was very good.

Overall Experience

My mother celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday at Mais House. She has been a resident there for over 7 years. The staff put on a superb party for her family, friends and residents. Her favourite entertainers performed, delicious afternoon tea in a beautifully decorated garden. The sun shone! Mum and the family were certainly given a day to cherish forever. Our heartfelt thanks go to all the staff who made this possible.
