I have not had any experience of a care home previously as my in-laws had carers helping at home but the atmosphere, surroundings and care provided are, in my opinion, exemplary. The carers are all wonderful and provide excellent, loving care to my father in law

We visited many homes before we chose Mapplewell Manor and were almost giving up in despair but as soon as we entered Mapplewell it was like a breath of fresh air. It's a superbly run home and cannot fault any aspect.

My mother was transferred to Mapplewell Manor from hospital in January 2019 on end of life care. A year later she is still with us, having her 100th birthday in September 2019. This is due to the care, support and unfailing kindness of all the staff to my mother and family too. The management and staff
are exceptional in every aspect of their work, with refreshingly positive, caring and happy manner. Lovely bright and clean environment.

I have only visited four times. I have always received smiles or a good afternoon greeting. There is always entertainment with the residents and staff joining in. I have visited various homes over the years and there are no offensive smells when entering the building. I cannot comment on a few areas
as I am unable to due to only visiting four times.

My mother has been a resident at Mapplewell Manor for almost a year.
The facilities, accommodation and food are of the highest quality and the activities proved to be both entertaining and enjoyable for both residents and their families.
I was particularly impressed with the staff in my mother's
final days; all were caring and went the 'extra mile' in giving dignified care at the end of her life.

Thank you for your kind words. It is always appreciated when relatives share their experience and particularly as your experience was so positive. I will share this with the staff team.

I honestly do not think my elderly uncle would still be with us today had he not had the care and attention given to him at Mapplewell Manor during the past 8 months or so since he was discharged from hospital with final stage kidney failure.
It's expensive, but you get what you pay for!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mapplewell Manor is more like a 5* hotel than it is a care home. I would highly recommend this care home. The love, care and support my mother received in her two-year stay was above and beyond their call of duty. In her final days, they looked after her in such a dignified way it was overwhelming to
see. Not only did they support my mam, but they also supported my dad and our whole family. I can not thank you enough for the love, care and support you have given to her.
Thank you so much to Mapplewell Manor.

Review from Marie R (Sister of Resident) published on 9 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister truly enjoyed her life at Mapplewell Manor. Accommodation, facilities and food were excellent. But, most importantly, her family sincerely believe that the love and care that she received from staff during her three-and-a-half-year stay could not be bettered.
It was particularly heart-warming
to observe them going out of their way in order to enhance the latter stages of my sister’s life. We will have no hesitation in recommending Mapplewell Manor to anyone looking for a care home.

I was lucky enough to be able to spend nearly a fortnight in one of the best rooms to experience living in a care home. Unfortunately, an infection occurred during my stay so an accurate assessment was difficult to make as it was not functioning normally.

I would like to thank all the staff at Mapplewell Manor for all the time and effort they put in to celebrate my Mum's 80th birthday. Nothing was too much trouble. They went above and beyond all expectations. They provided entertainment and a wonderful buffet. Also asked Mum what she would like for her
birthday. She said a ride in a limousine, which they also arranged. Thank you to everyone involved.

Early morning I don't always want to go down for breakfast. So staff always bring me breakfast in bed, which is lovely. My morning routine is breakfast and then a steady walk to café bar. Coffee and biscuits and I read papers, nice relaxing me time. At 1pm I go for lunch with my group of friends we
all sit together, my favourite time of the day. There is entertainment most afternoons which I really enjoy. But some afternoon I rest.
Would like some flowered wallpaper

This home has a brilliant atmosphere. Happy people and staff. My wife is stimulated and her mental health has improved and she's eating more. My wife enjoys all the activities and she dances and sings along. She mostly loves the children's visits. Overall, very happy and content.

Clean and contemporary in style and decor. Mapplewell Manor is a breath of fresh air when compared to other care homes in Wakefield and Barnsley districts. Staff are well trained, have a caring and supportive attitude to all residents in my opinion. Highly recommended for consistent care delivery, quality
of food and going above and beyond my expectations.

The home is like a hotel - excellent facilities, good sized rooms and a relaxed feel to all aspects and good, clean decor. Staff are friendly, but professional and take a genuine interest in the health and wellbeing of residents, as well as in keeping the resident's relatives informed and involved.
The extra cost is outweighed by the high standard of the home and the care given.

It is good to feel that you can trust the home to take good care of her while feeling that you are involved in care decisions. I hope I end up in a place like this if I ever need residential care.

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.
