Mum is very happy in Mapplewell. The team are wonderful and her care is first class which gives us peace of mind.
She was sorry (sad) when sister left. She thinks having her tea at 16:30 everyday is too early and occasionally the coffee lounge is closed which means you can't have a drink. Otherwise
all good. Many thanks.

Mapplewell Manor in my opinion is the best care home in the area, more like a luxury hotel. Everything you experience here is so good, the staff, cleanliness of the place, and the overall safe, calm and warm atmosphere is so good. There is absolutely no way you can fault any place in this home, well
done to all staff involved. Keep up your great work efforts.

I live on the Woodlands unit and my husband lives on the Village unit. I was a Youth Club Leader at the Youth Club in Barnsley. So I am used to crowded places. I like the pleasant atmosphere here, people are very kind.

I am happy living here. My wife lives upstairs in the Woodland Unit. She is always there with friends. I have no complaints about this home; we are all family and friends. One possible thing I have noticed is that there are too many meals. By the time I have eaten one it's time for another, but I suppose
that a good thing. There is always something going on games, quizzes and entertainers. This great for those who want it.

I have been amazed and grateful for the way in which my husband has been so lovingly cared for in Mapplewell. Not only has my husband been given first class care, but I have found that my life has changed so since he became ill and have been shown such understanding of my situation, having no relatives
anywhere, includes lack of children the staff just kind and given time for me. Everyone one is special when they enter the home.


When I attended the funeral in Sandal yesterday I was looked after by four of them, kindness was just incredible, as my husband is in Mapplewell I am totally broken and I need people as your ANGELS and I certainly was cared for with Love and they helped me through the day and I know that my husband and I are more than fortunate to know and actually love people as your staff.

My father has been a resident for the past 2 months, in that time we have found the staff from all areas of the home e.g. office, coffee bar and all carers to be very helpful, and caring to both him and the family, everyone is vigilant and attentive to the residents.
My father had a couple of falls
and hospital visits, so he was moved to a room nearer the work areas of the carers and special measures put in place to minimise falls and to alert them when he was on the move. My father has settled in at Mapplewell Manor and loves all the team. Mapplewell Manor is a very clean, friendly and welcoming home. A big thank you to all the team.

I feel Mapplewell Manor is a wonderful place. I arrived un announced to get a feel of what the home was like, Straight away felt comfortable. A member of staff spent on hour with me explaining things about the home, answering all my questions and showing me round. Since then my relation has moved in
and settled, the staff are very friendly and caring both to the residents and families. Mapplewell Manor would always be recommended by me.

My 79 year old father had contracted a viral infection whilst on holiday in Benidorm - He was transferred via a Medical flight to Hospital whilst he was assessed. I found the best place within a 10 mile radius of me, which was Mapplewell Manor. The place is lovely, clean and the staff are friendly.
It's also very warm!
I'm a great believer in "If you don't use it, you lose it" and I worked with my father doing basic exercises in both of the Hospitals and Mapplewell Manor - Chair Raises, Leg raises, Stairs, Knee Push Up's etc - Mapplewell Manor were very accommodating in allowing both myself and my father to exercise in the care home. My father is now coming to my home to live with me (providing he does his exercises) - He has got himself a personal trainer, who will work with him at the gym near me.
I would like to thank Mapplewell Manor for providing a safe and warm environment whilst we did our exercises - My father stayed at Mapplewell Manor for 2 months.

Thank you for your kind comments, it's been great to see the changes in your dad and the fabulous recovery he has made. I think we all made a great team to enable this transformation.

We visited Mapplewell Manor looking for a care home for respite for my mum. Everyone we dealt with were friendly, helpful and courteous. We found the home and staff excellent and felt we didn't need to look any further and booked Mum in straight away. We attended an assessment for Mum and again were
impressed with all the staff.

I'm very pleased with the care my father-in-law is getting, all the staff are great caring, and supportive. The room is lovely. He has been a lot better while being in Mapplewell Manor. His personality has come back, put on weight, and seems a lot happier. I am very pleased with the care my father-in-law

My father moved into Mapplewell Manor in January 2024 and has been very well looked after from day 1.
All staff are welcoming and very friendly. My father had a UTI recently over a weekend and the carers involved with organising medical care and ensuring he got the right treatment went above and beyond.
Thank you.

My husband has had excellent care nearly all the time during the 20 months he has lived at Mapplewell. Only criticism is he wasn't always showered depending on staff present carers have shown him great affection. He has been safe, secure, and well-nourished. His personal care on the whole has been excellent.
His end-of-life care was exemplary. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

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

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.825 for Mapplewell Manor is calculated as follows: ( (355 Excellents x 5) + (71 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 428 Ratings = 4.825

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mapplewell Manor is based on 36 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 87 registered maximum number of service users is 17.4, which has been reached with 36 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
