I come to Maycroft Manor once each month to the "Dementia Cafe" I also come over weekly to meet a friend we have coffee and chat for a couple of hours during these times, we see the management and staff dealing with residents. We are overwhelmed by the cheerful, caring, loving, sympathetic, approach
to everyone. The rooms are lovely. I am also invited to other things. I.e Pancake day! Not one single thing comes to mind which would be a minus. I would love to be a resident here! I receive help and advice from management too!

My mother has found the transition from her home to Maycroft challenging but the staff have been caring and understanding. This organisation really seems to understand the needs of its residents and is keen to avoid the isolation that can occur. There is no feeling of being part of a large organisation.
It
has been an enormous relief to me that I know she is safe and being cared for.

My step mum has been at the home since it opened. She had a lovely bright airy room which she came to regard as her home. The treatment she received was excellent and she was very fond of many of the staff.
During her last eight days of her life after a sudden stroke, she was able to return to the
home and her room. Her care during these last days were wonderful. She died very peacefully with me her stepdaughter and her niece by her side,
We will always be so grateful for the wonderful care and support she received. We were also given the greatest support throughout her last days. Our families are very grateful for everything and send our heartfelt thanks.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I never envisaged that my fiercely independent mother would 'end up' in a care home and I know she certainly wouldn't have chosen this future for herself in her pre-dementia days.
It was an agonising decision to make but as my mother's condition worsened our options became limited. After an extensive
search of care homes with dementia facilities we found Maycroft Manor right on our doorstep and once we set foot inside we knew this was the only place we felt comfortable with.
From day one we were welcomed by friendly and competent staff into a lovely, clean and stimulating environment which helped to keep back the tears. My mother has taken a while to settle and still goes through good and bad patches but she is safe and comfortable, she has attentive and friendly staff around her and engaging activities to take part in.
She is a sociable person so I am reassured that she is never lonely and there is routine and structure to her day which is important for this condition.

My aunt has been a resident at Maycroft for over three years and her care has been excellent throughout.
The staff are all very considerate and caring, nothing is too much trouble. The staff are also consistent, the home retains staff and so the residents are greeted by familiar and friendly faces,
which makes a huge difference to the residents general well-being.
My aunt knows all the care staff and having that relationship makes her more comfortable and settled.
The care home is a new build, so is very well designed with respect to those who are less mobile and it also has a fresh and new feel to it, more like a hotel than a residential home.
The food continues to be a high standard, three meals a day plus afternoon tea served in the bistro with freshly made cake and biscuits, or fresh fruit if preferred. I would definitely recommend this care home.

The care my mother receives is excellent. Staff are professional, painstaking and take an interest in residents. The care home is attractive and there is a varied programme of activities. Communication is usually good, although there have been occasions when messages and/or requests have not been passed
to the appropriate people.
The fees are high and annual increases significantly outpace inflation.
I have every confidence that my mother is in safe and attentive hands.

Overall I am impressed with the care afforded to my mother over the last 2 and a half years. There have been certain administrative lapses from time to time and a high staff turnover has affected continuity. However, the staff are unfailingly pleasant and caring and the atmosphere of the home is always
welcoming.

The standard of care is generally very high. Staff turnover is reasonably low and the care provided is consistent. Communications between relatives and management could be improved as could communication internally between colleagues and departments.


For example, neither my brother nor I know who

is the "go to" person responsible for our Mother's care. An organisation chart showing where responsibilities lie and with contact details would be very helpful.

Reply from Elizabeth Day, General Manager at Hallmark Maycroft Manor

Thank you for your review. We hold regular relatives forums and have recently sent out to all relatives information on who to contact. I will make sure you receive a copy of this but if you have any concerns please do come and see me.

I would recommend Maycroft Manor care home to anyone looking for a care home. The buildings and gardens are well kept and all the communal spaces are open to all. The provision of a Bistro cafe on the ground floor is a great space for residents, relatives and visitors to share and provides a good welcome.
The residents' rooms are very good and can be made to feel like home with their own possessions.
The staff are all very caring and friendly and all undergo training. There is also a weekly plan of activities that residents can participate in at their leisure.
There are sometimes problems with communication but there is an atmosphere of being open and staff and management are always available to listen and discuss any issues.
My mother has been there for two years and we have been, in general, very happy.

Providing care for people with poor health conditions can be tricky as the resident may not always be clear about their needs. Maycroft builds great relationships with the resident's family and is attentive and reactive to family concerns. The overall atmosphere is one of kindness, care, positivity
and happiness. It is an excellent care home.

My mother has been a resident of Maycroft Manor since Nov 2015 and during this time has received good care from the home. The staff are caring and friendly and always happy to help her in any situation which occurs.
Since my mother has been at Maycroft I have seen her health improve which has been
down to the care and support received from the staff.
Over the last 3 months, I have seen a great improvement in the day to day running of the home and a great effort has been made to improve the facilities and especially the lifestyle activities and the food.
Recently they have put on a great barbecue which was held on the rooftop garden and a summer party which was excellent (even with the rain) and a great success.
The surroundings and interior of Maycroft Manor are of a high standard and this provides the residents with a positive daily outlook.

Maycroft Manor Care Home has a workforce of kind, efficient, helpful and understanding people. Each carer or member of teams such as activities does their very best to get to know the residents and attend to their needs to make their stay with them as happy, comfortable and rewarding as possible. My
mother is at a point where her dementia has just been diagnosed and she gets upset because she knows she forgets and gets confused. My experience of every member of the team is that they understand this and work with Mum accordingly. It is a place I would very much recommend to other people in similar situations. My one criticism is that the food is perhaps not as good as it is described. Also in an ideal world, the staff are very busy but it would be wonderful if an additional structure could be added for staff to act just as companions and sit and chat with the residents for a little time each day.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My father moved in recently and has found that Maycroft is a safe and pleasant place to live, with good care from a team of cheerful, thoughtful, professional staff who are all kind and seek to make him comfortable.
The facilities are all very good, well designed and decorated to a high standard
so that the overall feel is of living in a four-star hotel. The place feels clean and welcoming, with a particularly attractive buzz around the café. It is impossible for any care home to be the same as your own family home but living in Maycroft is as good an alternative as is reasonably possible.
There are no areas of concern. There is room for improvement, such as more interesting food and activities, however, these are satisfactory and must respect that the residents have differing needs and desires. The managers and staff continuously review potential changes to make the conditions for residents as safe, comfortable and happy as possible.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Hallmark Maycroft Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.968 for Hallmark Maycroft Manor is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.968

  • b) 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 4.857 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hallmark Maycroft Manor is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 105 registered maximum number of service users is 21. 18 Positive Reviews ÷ 21 = 0.857

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
