I am happy with the overall care my father receives as a resident and I am confident he is safe and looked after at all times. I do however feel that the frequency of bathing/showering should be reviewed, as he often requests this, and has to wait for several days before he gets a shower. My father
has an excellent relationship with all members of your team, and he enjoys the fun and banter they have together. The food is of a good standard, and any requests are catered for. Mapplewell Manor is a very friendly, relaxed clean and welcoming home for both residents and family.

Thank your for you kind comments, I will look into your concerns regarding bathing/showering.

All care homes should provide the care and surroundings Mapplewell Manor offers. My sister has enjoyed her 2 weeks respite here. She would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for the care and reassurance we had while having a holiday break.

Review from Catherine A (Wife of Resident) published on 28 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was transferred into Mapplewell Manor from hospital following treatment for a chest infection. Although suffering from advanced Alzheimer's he had never previously experienced care other than at his own home and from me, his wife. Consequently he was a reluctant and often uncooperative resident.
To make matters worse, the four months he spent there were punctuated by visits to A&E and hospital stays, all of which made it even more difficult for him to settle. The amazing staff recognised and responded to the situation, never faltering in their attempts to integrate him into the community and establishing strong personal bonds. The standard of care was exceptional. It was also genuine. These wonderful people not only care for their residents they also care about them, making it a warm and safe environment.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I will pass this on to our team.

The staff are all excellent. They treat my dad like a member of the family. I feel happy to leave my dad in their exceptional care. The staff are always friendly and caring. They are proactive and support my dad to stay well and safe. They have got to know him. He is always happy and settled when I
visit him. I have witnessed the kind and calm approach that all the staff have with all the residents. It feels like a family.

My sister has been in Mapplewell Manor for more than a year. She seems to be entirely content with the facilities and the care provided. She enjoys the meals and has a good appetite. She does not participate much in the activities offered but I think this is due to her dementia. She is certainly much
better and safer than when she was living alone and looking after herself.
Reply from Karen Hugill, Home Manager at Mapplewell Manor
Thank you for your review. We are delighted that your sister seems content and that you feel she is much better and safer now.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Mapplewell Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.833 for Mapplewell Manor is calculated as follows: ( (447 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 532 Ratings = 4.833
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mapplewell Manor is based on 45 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 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
    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 87 registered maximum number of service users is 17.4, which has been reached with 45 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
