Review from Philip B (Son of Resident) published on 9 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I wish I had served in the forces so that I could book my place in Maise House now. Burns lunch was joyous.

Honestly, it is more like Butlins than a care home. They put on so many fabulous events for their residents and the staff absolutely get into the spirit. My father's health and disposition is so much better since he has been there.

Review from Sue M (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have attended several special events - the last being Burns lunch and entertainment. Always excellently organised and inclusive. Lovely meal and a singer who always engaged the interest of the residents and guests. I visit day regularly. He's always clean, well-dressed and happy. He has dementia following several strokes, resulting in him moving to Mais House where he's had a new lease of life. There are weekly events that stimulate his senses. I love visiting him there.

The food was delicious. The waitress service was excellent, very helpful and attentive and friendly, making you feel at ease.
The entertainment was very good, and well organised, and speech by the major.

Program on Burns with pipes etc. Great. Singer entertaining, good voice, various karaoke types. Hope to attend next year.

This care home is absolutely fantastic, today I turned up unexpectedly, and I was offered to eat lunch with my grandma, the food was very tasty! The home has such good vibes and always very friendly staff, who make a fuss of my children and welcome us happily.

Overall Experience

Very friendly staff who were happy and eager to cater to all of our needs. The rooms and communal areas are all very clean and well-decorated with plenty of natural light. The staff are all very polite and courteous to my granddad who gets on well with them all and is able to have a laugh with them all.

Review from David P (Son of Resident) published on 23 January 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Christmas day lunch 2022.
We sat in the main dining room with dad, myself and mum.
The food was very good thank you, and all the staff were very kind and attentive!
They kept our glasses nice and full and couldn't have been more helpful. We could see other residents on their own being looked after by the staff which was good to see.

All in all, a very pleasurable experience - thank you.

Reply from Susan Barnes, Home Manager at Mais House

Review from Liam W (Grandson of Resident) published on 12 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

This is quite possibly the nicest home I have ever been to. The staff are the kindest, they treat their residents with the utmost respect and provide the highest standard of care. The care home itself is extremely clean and well looked after, it feels like a real family home. I know when I get old this is the place I'd want to be put. I really couldn't put in enough words as I could go on for a long time.

Reply from Claire Bradley, Business Manager at Mais House

Mais House is well run from management down to cleaning staff. All staff are friendly. The chef looked after my dietary needs, all staff knew my name by the second day and checked if I was ok or needed anything often.

Very happy stay.

Review from R H (Grandson of Resident) published on 4 October 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The visit was excellent, it was the first time I have visited my grandpa where the link has been open to visitors too. Although we still end to his room for the duration of the visit it was lovely to see the other residents and see my grandpa with his friends. Staff were lovely and welcoming as per usual and there was a good variety of events on for the week.

Reply from Claire Bradley, Business Manager at Mais House

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit to see your grandpa. It is lovely that we are able to safely open the communal areas to visitors after the challenges of the past couple of years and for friends and family to experience the true atmosphere of Mais House.

The staff we encountered were polite, efficient and helpful. We were given privacy so that we could talk and look at family photos. My aunt seems both happy and stimulated. She is enjoying the food and being well cared for.

My father has been a resident here for 7 years and has always had the best of care. The staff are wonderfully caring and considerate and we now count many of them as friends of the family. Dad sums up Mais House as 'the best hotel he's ever been in'!

Reply from Claire Bradley, Business Manager at Mais House

Thank you, that is so nice to hear. We will pass your kind words on to the team, who as you said, support our veterans with care and consideration. It is a privilege to be able to care for your father and for the team to be appreciated for what they do.

Review from J F (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My dad is 98-years-old and has lived on his own since my mum died 9-years ago. After a stroke and various falls, he started having carers but was adamant he didn't want to go into a home, but after a fall and 8-weeks in the hospital, we persuaded him to go to Mais House for some respite, although he would only agree to two weeks! He went to Mais House on the 21st of February, and we visited on the 22nd, and to our utter amazement, he had already decided he wanted to stay permanently. He was sitting in his comfy chair with his glass of wine looking as if he had always been there. It is such a relief to know he is being well cared for, and the staff are amazing! Everything is done for him and there is a social side too if you want to join in. We never thought we would see the day that he was happy anywhere other than his own home, so thank you Mais House, for making him feel so settled.
