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.

Wonderful, well-organised afternoon. Very friendly, helpful staff and helpers. So well thought out.

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.

We are very happy with the care Dad receives at Mais House Care Home. All staff are very attentive towards him. Always friendly towards us too, as family. This week we had been visiting Dad during the week as my brother and I are on holiday. The four of us have had lunch in the lounge bar and it has been a real treat being together and having lunch together. Lovely food and great staff looking after us. Thank you.
Kind regards,
Susan & team.
The service was very good. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The food was nice and didn't take long to come. They repeatedly asked if we wanted anything and were happy to help. My grandad was very well cared for, and there seemed to be a lot for him to do. The overall experience was great.

Despite the rain, Mais House had an excellent Fete on the 5th of August. All the staff worked so hard to make the afternoon a success. There were lots of stalls, i.e. raffles and bands played during the afternoon. Thank you all for your hard work to make it such a success.

The lunch that was served was delicious and the lady that served us was so nice and took particular care of our mother, 91. She was polite, courteous, considerate and so attentive. Our uncle said a couple of times how much he liked being at Mais House.

My wife and I took a good friend to the home to spend the last good years of her life being looked after in the best possible way at the Royal British Legion. This was our second visit and was very pleased with everything we saw and felt and the food was excellent. All the staff we met seem to enjoy their work, a good sign. We were pleased to leave our friend in their capable hands.
We look forward to seeing you both soon.
We have had a very good experience of Mais House, from the first day my father arrived here. All members of staff are respectful and sensitive to my Dad's needs. We feel reassured and happy to know he is in the right place.

Mais House has been excellent in caring for my Mum. We couldn't have asked for a better care home. They treat her like family and we know she is safe and cared for an she is happy there.

We came for lunch at the care home on Easter Sunday. All the staff were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble. The room we were in and the table was set up like a fancy restaurant with added Easter decorations. Everyone who works at Mais House has always been attentive and friendly to us, the visitors, but more importantly, to our relative resident. Everyone seems to genuinely care about his health, wellbeing and happiness.
Kindest regards.

"I am a registered Mental Health Nurse with a teaching qualification. I have now taken the post of the PDF at Mais House and am getting to know both staff and residents.
I have been teaching people for over 15 years, in a variety of subjects for, and love facilitating people to learn and explore the different ways in which they can develop their skills.
I can honestly say that in all my years of working, I have never been made so welcome as I have been here at Mais House. The staff are amazing, and I really appreciate the welcome they have offered to me since I joined. The passion for the care given to residents shines out from every single member of staff. The quality of care is something I am constantly amazed and delighted at."
