My review is based on the past year's experience where my wife has been a resident since May 2024. The ratings are based on my personal experience during my daily visits- and are therefore limited in some instances where first-hand knowledge is not available.

There is only one word I can use to describe Maplehurst Nursing Home, that is exceptional. My husband has settled into the home, due to the help and consideration that all the staff show all the time. The home is kept extremely clean, and has a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was admitted in March 2022 on an assessment basis, my family and I were so pleased with the staff and his treatment that I fought hard to keep him here at the end of the assessment period. The same staff are still here and I feel that is a great mark of good management and a happy team. My
husband was quite difficult to begin with, but nothing has fazed the staff and management and he has always been treated kindly and with respect. I am always made welcome, he is settled and safe, and his room is kept clean and tidy. Thank you to all at Maplehurst, you have made a difficult time much easier.

Everyone is lovely at Maplehurst and what is so good is that the staff do not leave - many have been there for years! Mum is so well cared for and she is happy and settled. She loves the food as, in her words, 'it is not mucked about'! Cannot praise Maplehurst strongly enough.

I am so thankful there was a space at Maplehurst when we needed it. All of the staff are kind,
caring, and welcoming, and they support relatives as well as residents. The emphasis is very much on providing a homely environment and nothing is too much trouble. The food is of a high standard, cooked
on the premises, and all tastes are catered for.
The staff work well as a team, and are always good-humoured and patient.
Maplehurst epitomises how all nursing homes should be run.
Thank you for everything you do.
Reply from Bryson Gifford, Operations Director at Maplehurst Nursing Home

Thank you so much for the kind words, they mean a great deal to the team and it is a pleasure looking after your husband.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and I am greeted by name when visiting. They are attuned to the residents, and the clinical care is excellent. They spotted an infection in my husband by noticing a change in his voice, although he is only able to make noises, not speak. My husband has also
gained weight which is good.

Review from Christine P (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Although the staff were very friendly, we found that my mother was just left sitting in the lounge all day until it was bedtime. They did not help her with exercise for her Parkinson's and she was very unhappy there. We took her out after 1 week (should have been 2) and have been charged for the 2 weeks.
All they did for her was feed and put her to bed and charged a lot of money for it.
Reply from BP Gifford BEM, Director ' Group Operations & Continuous Improvement at Maplehurst Nursing Home

We are very disappointed to receive your review based on a single week’s respite. It is particularly disheartening for the care team who bent over backwards to facilitate this extremely short-term, last-minute emergency placement over the festive season.
We normally have a minimum respite stay of four weeks as moving into residential care can be unsettling for all. As a family you were insistent that you only wanted one week’s respite, and special dispensation was given to provide two weeks’ care.
Our care records do not support your views that your mother was brought to the lounge and left there. In fact, they paint a picture that she was unhappy being in care and was still adjusting, which is completely understandable. It appears that during the seven days she was in our care she preferred the one-on-one activities and interactions but did not want to partake in the group activities, which was her choice and was respected. Likely this was part of the settling-in process. She also missed out on some activities as she was out on day trips with the family. During the pre-admission assessment, you made no mention of any additional Parkinson’s requirements. If you had, we would have requested input from the visiting physiotherapist.
Your mother moved home after a single week and you did not want to honour the payment for two weeks’ respite which had been agreed upon. Having looked at the care notes and the placement in its entirety we do not believe that your views – based on a 7 day stay – are reflective or proportionate.
Sadly, your review reinforces our perception surrounding very short-term respite care. We will be unlikely to make exceptions for other families in future who may desperately need a short break. We wish you and your family the very best for the future.

The staff are all outstanding and care a great deal about the residents. The team is very responsive as was demonstrated with the swift changes they made to accommodate my husband's dramatically increased needs after hospitalisation. Lunch was so beautifully presented the other day that I almost took
a photograph of it to put on social media to show what can be achieved in a nursing home and I'm delighted that the activities programme includes physical therapy and movement. I am very happy with the home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Maplehurst Nursing Home 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.896 for Maplehurst Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.896
  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 Maplehurst Nursing Home is based on 12 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
