The staff at Mapleton Court are amazing. They have been looking after my uncle for a few years. As a family we know he is receiving the best possible care in a top tier facility. Thank you to everyone who works there for making the last part of his life dignified and comfortable. Tracy and Colin.
Reply from Jo Barley, Care Director at Mapleton Court Care HomeThank you very much for your kind words and that you a reassured we are looking after your loved ones.

Son of a resident who has recently died. I have been a regular visitor there every Month for many years.
I have found all the staff very helpful and they have always kept me up to date regarding my Mother's health. I have driven over a three hundred mile round trip every Month, the staff know this
and I am always made welcome ( with a cup of tea ) I have received phone calls from staff updating me ref health issues.
I am perfectly happy with all the care that My Mother has received and I am very grateful to the Admin and Birch unit staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After difficulties with my father in law living at home and often being a wanderer the decision was made for him to live in a care home , Mapleton court was chosen due to the idyllic and beautiful surroundings in the area , the home itself is run by staff who are very knowledgable and well trained in
helping service users live life as they would have done at home but with extra help . The home is beautiful and clean and very well led by the management team . My father in law has been there 3 years now and has put weight on and is extremely well looked after , he is a lot happier in himself and has settled right in straight away . The manager ensures all service users recieve person centred care and the residents are of paramount importance to her in ensuring they are happy with the services they recieve , and I am able to chat to the manager if I have any concerns or worries . I cannot recommend Mapleton court enough to anyone wanting to use a care service

My mum has been living at Mapleton Court for a few months. She has dementia and moved in for her safety, but she has settled in really well and made new friends. The staff moved her to a different unit early on so she could be in a more stimulating environment, which has really helped.
The team are
always friendly and welcoming when I visit, and it's clear they know the residents well. I've also noticed ongoing improvement and maintenance work, which is reassuring and shows the home is being kept to a good standard.
Overall, I feel confident that Mum is safe, cared for and supported here.
Reply from Melanie Ridsdale, Care Director at Mapleton Court Care HomeThank you for your lovely feedback. Its nice to hear positive things about our home as we take pride in the work we do and are ongoing.

Mum has been in mapleton court for 2 years now due to her Alzheimer's. I moved her here from a previous care home that failed to keep her safe and look after her. I have found all the carer's, cleaners, kitchen staff, laundry, maintenance and management totally commited to their jobs and can't fault
them in anyway. They all give me peace of mind knowing mum is safe and looked after in the best possible environment for her by truly caring staff and I can't thank them all enough.

Just a little mention to the staff, and cleaners, too, for making me feel welcome when I visited my mam. When I wasn't at my best. My mam looks well cared for. Lovely people, love to you all. The only thing I would say, is that they could do with some kind of security at the main door. Especially in
today's times.

I would like to thank each and every member of staff + (kitchen staff) for the compassion and support you gave My brother in the last 5 weeks of his life.
The staff at the Oakwood unit were not staff, they were "angels".
On each visit to see my brother, the staff went above and beyond with their
compassion and empathy, during our darkest days.
Each and every member of staff deserves true recognition for their commitment to such a difficult job role.
Once again "Thank you" keep up with your outstanding commitment to your daily role.

I'd just like to say the greatest thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the staff here for caring for my Grandad right until the very end of his long life. He was on the Birches Unit and every single member of staff treated him as family. They went above and beyond for him and my Grandma when
she would visit for the full day to spend the day with him too. You are all amazing and our family appreciates and will continue to remember the outstanding care you gave to him. Thank you once again, you angels.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mapleton Court is one really amazing people-centred care home. We regularly use for respite for my father who is 83 and 8 1/2 years into Alzheimer’s. The staff are so kind and really caring, so especially good at what they do, understanding each individual service user's needs. This care home is very
well run, the place is exceptionally clean, the food is of a good standard, Dad always puts weight on while he’s visiting. The main thing that struck me was how everyone always seems happy when you visit, I have often seen staff playing games with residents, my dad likes tennis balls, staff and other residents play catch with him. I now go away on holiday without worry, knowing the best care will be taken of my dad while I’m away. Thank you to all the amazing staff for making Dad's visits so pleasurable for him.
Reply from Ravi Patel, CEO at Mapleton Court Care HomeThank you for your wonderful review which I will pass on to all the staff.
It is heartwarming to hear that we are delivering a service that offers not only great care to our service users but peace of mind to relatives.
It’s important that carers too can have time to relax and recoup.
Thank you again.

My father was in full-time care at Mapleton Court Care Home from April to December 2022. I cannot thank the staff there enough for their support during this exceptionally difficult time for all our family. The kindness, understanding and skill set of the whole team are excellent. They cared for Dad
so well, and they got to know him and his sense of humour and helped keep that alive. We know that he felt safe and cared for at Mapleton Court. A huge thank you to you all, with love from the family.

Been a resident since May 2022 for rehab. Absolutely amazing home with a clean environment and the staff are outstanding. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, they really do go above and beyond to make it a home from home. Daily activities with activity coordinators to encourage residents to mix
and socialise, homemade food and dietary requirements easily met. The care is outstanding.
Can't thank the staff and manager enough. Would highly recommend it to anyone whether it's for permanent residency, respite or rehab.
Thank you to everyone at Mapleton Court.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has Alzheimer's and having visited several homes nearby I knew Mapleton Court offered what I was looking for straight away. It's bright and airy, on one floor and is like home from home. Mum settled in immediately and the staff are lovely and friendly. I have had no concerns about Mum's care even
though her behaviour has become gradually more challenging. The food looks really appetising and is obviously homemade. Birthday parties and celebrations for special occasions eg queen's birthday, VE day also illustrate how staff try to engage with and involve residents. All in all a positive experience.
Reply from Jo Barley, Care Director at Mapleton Court Care HomeThank you for the very positive review, we are pleased that despite Mum's progression in her behaviours that staff can continue to respond and care for her in a positive way.
As you are aware activities and service user involvement play a big part in the aims of the care home and it is nice that this is recognised.

My dad contracted Covid-19 whilst in hospital and was transferred to Mapleton Court for his isolation period. He was so happy with the consideration and professionalism provided by the staff that we decided to give him additional respite after his isolation period finished. We did this to give ourselves
time to get his room redecorated, rearrange furniture etc, and to make things easier when he got home as he lives with us.
The level of care provided to him in respite is great, and every time I go to have a socially distanced chat with him, he is always telling me how nice all the staff are, how nice his room is and the meals are lovely.
I have been kept informed in regards to anything Dad needs, and if there has been any changes in regards to his treatment by visiting district nurses. Considering the number of care homes in the local area he has tried with his annual respite quota, this has to be the happiest he has been. He will definitely be here for his next respite.
Reply from Jo Barley, Care Director at Mapleton Court Care HomeThank you for the very kind and very positive review, we are delighted that your dad was settled and happy with the care provided to him by the staff. It is also delightful when we feel we have given support to relatives as well.
To hear that someone has had a great stay and would be happy to return again reassures us that we are providing a good level of care and support.
We look forward to seeing Dad for his next respite stay.

We had to find a residential care home for Mum because we could no longer provide the care she needs. Since leaving Mum she has settled in really well. I cannot believe how happy she seems to be. The staff are really helpful and friendly and have helped Mum interact with others which she never did before.
I
would definitely recommend the home to anyone. I am so happy we found this place for Mum, it's been a real weight off our shoulders to know she is being cared for so well. It's been a difficult time due to covid but the staff have tried to make our journey as easy as possible. Thank you for looking after Mum and us at times.
Reply from Jo Barley, Care Director at Mapleton Court Care HomeWe are delighted to have helped! It has been a difficult time for everyone during the pandemic and especially hard if you have to place a loved one in a care environment. Mum has settled in so well and adapted to her new home, especially the activities she has been doing. We will continue our drive to deliver excellent levels of care and a safe and comfortable environment
Thank you for the review

We a family felt supported and had a good relationship with staff. My grandma was well looked after during the time there and we were kept in regular contact. I would recommend the home as it's family-oriented and we are always made to feel welcome. It’s a shame about the visiting but we understand

I would not recommend this care home. Communication and person-centred care here need to be addressed. Food presentation is shocking. I visited my Dad one day he was given gravy with fish! He told me he was scared to complain! Despite Government Covid restrictions, my biggest regret is not moving my
Dad out of this care home before it was too late. I will regret this forever.
Reply from Jo Barley, Care Director at Mapleton Court Care HomeIt is very disappointing to read this review.
It is concerning that given the level of complaint and concern that no issues were raised with the home or governing bodies at any time.
The service users stay was fairly short and in the midst of a pandemic, visiting internally was not permitted and we do understand that the reviewer found it very difficult to comply with this, meaning staff had to address her presence in the building with her on more than one occasion. This may go some way to explaining her unhappiness with staff.
The care staff show care and compassion and I will support them as a care group fully.
In October the home had a CQC inspection which confirmed that our facilities are clean, safe, our rating with CQC is Good in care safety, effectiveness and well-lead.
We would be happy to discuss this review with the reviewer personally, we extend again our sympathies to the reviewer.

There have been a few issues with changing management that has now been addressed. The staff are caring and seem to have the residents' interest at heart. The activities coordinator is very good and always goes beyond her role. I do believe the home needs more funding as it's the relatives that have
to do most of the funding.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.083)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.083) out of 10 for Mapleton Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 8 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 4.989 for Mapleton Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.989
  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 4.094 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mapleton Court Care Home is based on 8 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.444
  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.
