Since my mother moved to Mavern House in 2016, I have been impressed every time I visit by the warmth of welcome from all staff I met, comfortably on first-name terms immediately. My mother, now 98 but often still in her eighties (!), quickly settled into a very comfortable and well-equipped room, and carers were soon firm and long-term friends, won over by her ready sense of humour and smile. Personal care has always been so effortlessly and professionally carried out including, where possible, dental and eye care. The nurses are experienced and skilled, easy to talk with (currently by phone) and discuss mum's health. Elders' birthdays are a major feature for all residents, and the staff join in with gusto and love. "Extra-curricular" activities are so many and entertaining, and residents enjoy revisiting and demonstrating "old school" skills. The pod visits are managed with great care and efficiency, as are regular video calls set up between her and family. Superb place!
Thank you so much for your leaving us a review, we are so pleased to be able to care for your mum and give you as a family peace of mind. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
From the point of view of a son of a resident, I am always extremely grateful for the 'can do' attitude of the staff and how this filters down not just to me - facilitating visits and so on - but also to the residents. The dedication of the staff and the obvious pleasure it gives them to work with those in their care truly humbles me, and from Mum's point of view she revels in the personal tender loving care that goes above and beyond what anyone might expect!
Thank you so much. P C, for your wonderful feedback. It is such a pleasure caring for Mum, HRH of Mavern House. Look forward to seeing you soon.
My mother has lived in Mavern House for nearly 12 years and I’ve always been so impressed by the care she has received there. Living a long way away I haven’t been able to visit her for the past year. The staff have been so good at keeping me in touch, helping her to answer the phone, sending photos, emails etc, and they are without exception friendly and helpful. It gives me, a 70 year old grandmother, great peace of mind to know my mother, who’s nearly 99, is in such good hands through such uniquely difficult times.
Thank you, Joy, for your feedback, we are so glad to be able to provide you with peace of mind, we so look forward to seeing you soon!
As a family member of a resident at Mavern I am continually impressed by the high standard of care provided by the team and the services they offer those in their care. In these difficult times, it's such a relief to know that my grandfather is receiving care, entertainment and companionship amongst the staff and other residents. Despite the necessary restrictions in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the staff at Mavern have been incredibly resourceful and helpful in setting up safe, contactless meetings via video call to allow family members and residents the chance to stay in contact and to see one another without the risk of spreading the virus. I applaud every member of the team and the work they do. I believe they are a shining example of how a nursing home should provide care and I would encourage anyone considering such services to get in touch with them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review for us Ryan, we are so pleased that you have been able to feel connected to your grandfather during this difficult time and that you have peace of mind about his care. We look forward to seeing you on video call soon!
Love from us all.
Thank you so much Jan for sharing your experience of Mavern House with others. We are so glad you will continue to be friends of Mavern House and hope to see you again soon.
During the four months that my friend has been in residence, I get the impression of excellent management and communications, friendliness and genuine care. Not having been able to visit my friend in the normal way because of Covid, my ratings will mostly be "good" but I have little doubt of extremely high quality in all respects.
Thank you for your feedback Charles, it is such a shame we have not been able to offer you true Mavern hospitality yet due to Covid restrictions but we look forward to welcoming you into the home 'properly' in the very near future.
As a family, we are so grateful for the kindness, compassion, and exemplary care the manager, her team, and all the staff at Mavern House have shown our lovely dad, and us as a family. It means the world to us to know that in these challenging and difficult times, they are doing everything they can to keep our loved ones safe, happy and valued. Their ethos, care and compassion have made a huge difference to all our lives. Heartfelt thanks.
Thank you, Sandra, for your kind words, we really appreciate you taking the time and it is so useful for prospective families to gain an insight into how we care for those living at Mavern House.
As a relative who has been visiting the home for many years, I have been made to feel very much part of the Mavern family and this has enabled me to see first-hand how the home is constantly evolving and always trying to improve the way it operates. Under the current leadership team, this process has accelerated and has seen it run as efficiently as possible within the confines of what is an old, but lovely building and I always marvel at the care and genuine affection that many staff have for Mum. My opinion as a relative is often sought on ways further improvement can be achieved. The Elders at Mavern lead a good life and are stimulated as much as possible with many social events, activities and entertainment. I could not imagine Mum being anywhere else and as a family, we count our blessings that it was Mavern House that we chose. She has been so well cared for and there is no better place for her to spend her final years.
Thank you so much, Mark, for taking the time to leave us this lovely review, it is very much appreciated. We look forward to being able to welcome you back into the home.
Covid-19 has been managed brilliantly with no cases to date and I am full of respect and gratitude for what has been done to keep my mother so well and happy in such challenging times. Thank you to everyone at Mavern House.
Thank you so much for leaving this lovely review for us Elizabeth. We are also amazed and pleased at Mum's progress and we look forward to seeing you, hopefully very soon!
My father has been at Mavern House for just under 1 year. I have only positive things to say about this outstanding nursing home. They are an extremely well-run team who genuinely care for their service users. The quality of my father's life has improved dramatically since arriving at Mavern House. All the staff go out of their way to make my father really feel at home. He loves joining in on all the fun and varied activities. He’s made new friends and always seems really happy. My father is a very fussy eater and always comments about the lovely food (that says a lot for him to say that). In these difficult times, the staff have been supportive and have maintained a covid-free home. Their hard work and dedication to keep everyone safe and supported has been outstanding. I am happy to recommend Mavern House to anyone looking to put their loved one into a home. It really feels like a caring loving home.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review Lynne, it is so helpful to receive feedback and great to know you are happy with Dad's care. We miss seeing you for visits and look forward to welcoming you back in once it is safe to do so.
My mother has now been a resident of Mavern House since April 2020 and I can only shower praise upon the completely dedicated staff for their wonderful care of her. Not only do they ensure she receives excellent food and first-class care but they also ensure her mental wellbeing is fully cared for. The Enrichment programmes are wonderful and make life fun-filled and stimulating. The addition of the well thought out and constructed visitors' pod was exceptional and I look forward to when we can return for future visits. There Christmas/New Year programme of events made me very jealous but I was pleased that the residents had such a wonderful festive period. All staff at Mavern House make up an amazing team, regardless of position, but it obviously takes an excellent management team to produce excellence at all levels. I wouldn't want my mum to be anywhere else.
Thank you so much for your feedback Pauline, it is lovely to hear that you are so pleased with Mum's care. We look forward to being able to welcome you inside the home properly in less restricted times.
I was very impressed with the treatment received by my mother while she was living at Malvern House. She was encouraged to attend/participate in organised activities. All the residents that I saw/met while visiting my mother were relaxed and happy. The meals served were prepared in their kitchen and were tasty and varied. Many thanks to all the staff.
