Review from Jean T (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Initially, my mother went to Mayflower House for assessment and necessary care. After it was decided that she would no longer be safe at home, I was lucky enough to have her stay there. Her room is spacious, clean with shower room ensuite. Meals are varied, freshly cooked, with fresh ingredients. Staff all hardworking, caring, patient, friendly. I can't thank them enough.

Review from S W (Niece of Resident) published on 16 April 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mayflower House is wonderful. They look after my Uncle so well. I am very lucky to have them. The sensory activities are amazing. All the staff really do care and are always happy. My uncle has been through a lot and has been very poorly recently and there empathy and compassion towards him and us as a family has been overwhelming. We are truly grateful. I only hope when I am older I am lucky enough to go somewhere as good.

Review from Sally N (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum spent the last 3 years of her 92 years in Mayflower House and regarded Mayflower as her home.
They have compassionate caring staff that went the extra mile for my mum as she had high anxiety. The food served was of high standard and the room was cleaned on a daily basis. Entertainment was provided on a regular basis and I will always have fond memories of afternoons spent with Mum on such occasions. The end-of-life compassionate care provided to both the family and mum was excellent, with regular contact with the local doctor and district nursing team. I cannot thank the staff at Mayflower enough for giving my mum such a lovely ending full of care and love, but also for supporting me and the family, Mayflower became my second home, thank you.
