The Maples Reviews (32)
The Maples has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.592) out of 10, based on 17 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time The Maples has 32 reviews.
I think it's amazing - the staff are excellent the place is very clean and tidy everyone is easy to talk to. Put it this way if I get like my mum I would definitely come here as well.
Lovely friendly staff. Always a cup of tea on the go. Helpful and kind.
Staff are brilliant, friendly, caring and hard working. Sometimes it takes a while for the buzzer to be answered, short staffed? Meal times seem to vary and are sometimes quite late. Also, meals are sometimes lukewarm and not hot by the time they arrive. Mom has been at The Maples since June 2023 and has developed a great friendship with carers and staff.
Food sometimes arrives cold and very late.
Seems to be a very high turnover of staff.
When Mom rings the bell, sometimes it takes ages for someone to attend to her.
Sometimes they are really short-staffed.
Cannot fault the staff, they are all lovely with Mom.
As a family, we all thank you so much for looking after Mum so well.
Very happy with the care home all round.
Thank you for leaving a five star review for The Maples Care Home. We are so pleased you are happy with our home.
The staff are kind, friendly and caring, and I couldn’t wish for her to be in a better place.
Thank you for the lovely review. We are so pleased that Mum is settled with us at The Maples and that she is getting the care and support she needs. We love having her with us, and she is a pleasure to look after!
My mom stayed here for three months until her demise - she had previously been in another awful care home. However, the contrast was unbelievable! The home/facilities/staff and management are superb. The care/love and support given to both my mom and other residents was and is amazing. Thank you all at The Maples.
This home is just perfect for your loved ones suffering from Dementia. The staff are so caring and helpful. The home is outstanding in every aspect. So glad we managed to get our mum a place there. Knowing she is in a good environment and being cared for gives us peace of mind. Thank you to all the staff there you are doing a wonderful job.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It is so lovely to see that your mum has settled in well and she has built up some lovely friendships and is flourishing. It is so important that you have peace of mind when you leave once again, thank you for your comments.
Very good and happy. All the staff are excellent.
Its so lovely to see how your mum has settled in at The Maples and is flourishing. Thank you for your lovely comments
My 87 year old grandad stayed for 2 weeks for respite, while I went on holiday. He lives with my family and I as he has early Alzheimer’s. He never wanted to go to a care home until he looked around and then couldn’t wait. He loved it, he enjoyed the company and the staff and now attended every week to visit as a care home ambassador, as he was very good at getting involved in activities and settling new residents. If he ever needs to move into a home, I wouldn’t hesitate in placing him here. The staff are lovely and communication is excellent. The home is brand new and more like a hotel, I’d happily stay myself!
Thank you for the lovely review - we look forward to welcoming you Grandfather back for his next stay !
Lovely decor and facilities. Arranging for Mom to move across to The Maples was easy and efficient with great communication from a staff member.
The staff can't do enough for Mom with even the chef visiting to discuss what foods she likes. Carers sit with Mom to chat and help with her word searches, nothing seems too much trouble.
Facilities are excellent with day rooms having kitchenette facilities. Gardens will take time to mature but lots of green spaces around the home already.
Indoors they have great security features and a system that alerts staff of unusual movement at night or if a resident has fallen.
It is too soon for me to comment on the daily activities which may be offered.
Mom has put weight on since her arrival and is very happy, which means we are too.
Thank you for the lovely comments. It really makes us happy to see your mum thriving at The Maples. She is an absolute pleasure to look after.
