Maple Leaf Lodge is a modern, spacious, residence situated near to local amenities providing residential, respite, palliative, and dementia care.
Bedrooms are set across three floors and each floor has its own large dining room and two living rooms, meaning peace and quiet is never far away. All furnishings and décor throughout the home are of an exceptionally high standard.
There is also a beautifully landscaped garden that surrounds the home and a decked seating area, perfect for outdoor socialising. There's a greenhouse for those who want to grow their own vegetables.
Care workers understand that moving into Maple Leaf Lodge will be a considerable transition but it's one they try to make feel as easy as possible. By helping residents arrange their room just the way they like, or bringing their daily newspaper, staff will do the little things that make the biggest difference.
Meals vary daily, and are prepared by trained chefs, on-site, to provide a tasty and nutritious dining experience. Special dietary requirements will be catered for.
A dedicated activities coordinator oversees a number of events to ensure there is always something for residents to get involved with. These can be small events in the home day-to-day, as well as regular excursions and big one-offs. Residents and relatives are encouraged to make suggestions and requests to get the most from their experience.

My wife has dementia and the staff, without exception, demonstrate patience and tolerance in trying circumstances.
The whole family has been greatly impressed by the standards of Avery Lodge.
I am happy that my wife is in such good hands.

My mother (91) was assessed as being suitable for this establishment, being high dependent. During her stay, she slipped as the staff were putting to bed. No doctor was called and it was 4 days later before we found out her leg was broken. We received no assistance from Avery Lodge management on this and as a result, she was admitted to NHS hospital and did not return. Due to the lack of responsible care during the above episode, I cannot recommend this establishment.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback. We pride ourselves on our high standard of care and I am sorry you feel this has not been met. We take your feedback very seriously and your comments have now been passed on to the home and an investigation has been opened at home level. As always we have an open door policy and home manager, Tina Boot, would be happy to discuss the issue with you further at your earliest convenience.
My mother has lived at a care home in the North East since July but checked into this care home in January on a trial basis in the hope that she would move in permanently and be closer to me. However, after a week I took her out as I found the home unsatisfactory. I experienced problems...
Failing to dispense medication correctly,
Two members of staff being unpleasant towards me, and one towards my mother,
A member of staff being verbally aggressive towards another resident,
Failing to offer a choice of food and providing food which was unsuitable,
Her juice jug and glass not being replaced – had not been done by 4.30pm on one day,
Her bed not being made.
This care home gives the impression of being a lovely care home and some members of staff are very pleasant and hardworking. However, due to the above problems I could not leave her there, and I returned her to her previous home where I know she is treated with respect and dignity, her medication is dispensed correctly and she is fed well.
Our protocol is to dispense medication in room order and have several residents that all need their medication at the same time and we do our utmost to ensure that it is administered as near to the time...
I have fully investigated the issues and spoken to all of the team that works on Kensington.Our protocol is to dispense medication in room order and have several residents that all need their medication at the same time and we do our utmost to ensure that it is administered as near to the time required as possible.
I have addressed all team members that work on Kensington and they are fully aware of the behaviour that is expected of them and as a result of your feedback have organised customer service training for some team members.
With regards to food, each time a resident is admitted they will complete a ‘food passport’, which will outline their food and beverage preferences and dislikes. We aim to meet the nutritional preferences of all residents by offering a combination of both traditional and current menu choices.
In addition, as part of the Care Assistant’s daily routine, they are allocated rooms to check. Due to no day being the same within the home, some days we are unable to complete room checks in the morning. This may have been the reason for the oversight of the water jug and unmade bed, I apologise for the inconvenience.
Please be assured that we take all concerns very seriously and endeavour to improve the service we offer as a result. If you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Happy my mother is in a safe and comfortable place. Would like to see rooms a little better furnished. There is also a strange aroma which I would like to see addressed. Staff are fantastic and cheery and very helpful.

She was initially on the dementia ward and was very well cared for but felt 'overwhelmed' by the 'busyness' there.
We asked for her to be moved to the ground floor as soon as a room came up.
This happened after a few months and she is now much more content.
We really appreciate the kind, caring environment Avery Lodge provides.
Can't praise the staff enough, informed me about what was going on with my husband, explained certain issues. They're not only looking after my husband but they support me as well. Lovely lovely people. I know he is being well looked after.

Staff, whatever their role in the home, take the time to get to know the residents, chatting and having a laugh with them as well as doing their job and meeting residents' needs.
As relatives, the staff have supported us through difficult times with professionalism, compassion and kindness.
Queries or concerns have been swiftly addressed.
As a family, we would like the staff to know we are so grateful for their dedication. You are an exceptional care home and we feel lucky and privileged to have had family members cared for by you.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Avery Lodge name clearly shown from the main road; gated, railed pedestrian path to entrance- automatic doorway. Vestibule/reception well staffed by smartly uniformed staff pleasantly welcoming bright people - extremely helpful. I was pleased with my accommodation - clean and tidy with good lighting and view of well kept and laid out gardens. En-suite area safely railed and alarms available - dining room tables cleanly set up, cutlery napkin wrapped. Meal attractively plated and well served by a happy team of staff. Truly "welcome home".
She loves it there.
The staff are amazing and the activities they hold are the best.
When I visit her she has always got something to tell me and the places she has been, it's lovely to hear.

A wonderful evening full of carols that every resident knew. Sung by a talented local choir. A lovely opportunity for my father to join in with familiar carols and for our family to join in too. This brought back memories of Xmas carols singing together as a family- lovely!
