Review from Stephanie C (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident for 18 months as she suffers from Alzheimer's. The staff are amazing and work extremely hard to ensure all residents are cared for with empathy and dignity. They also have a full-time entertainment and beauty therapy team offering the residents a full entertainment program
plus massages, manicure, facial and pet therapy.
This is fantastic stimulation for my mum and it really does put a smile on her face and a brightness in her eyes.
The support I also receive as a carer is so appreciated too.
Reply from Karen Hugill, Home Manager at Mapplewell Manor

Thank you Stephanie for such a lovely review. Your support is much appreciated my staff and your love for your mum is clear to see and as a team we work well.

I found the home to be welcoming, spotlessly clean and well decorated.
To me, it is like walking into a '5-star' hotel.
All the staff are happy, smiling and extremely helpful, there are always lots of activities going on.
Very welcoming to families with children.
Everyone makes the place 'home

My wife has been in here for 12 months and I visit every day. Mostly my wife is very happy here and me and my family are very happy with the care she gets and she seems very settled.
I am speaking on behalf of my wife as she has no speech at all but she is well looked after.

Review from Sharon D (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mapplewell Manor is an excellent care home.
The rooms are luxurious and always clean.
The standard of care from the care staff is extremely high and the staff often go above and beyond the general care, for example, knowing my mum is a catholic they often say a prayer with her at night.
The activity
staff are continually arranging treats, vocalists, musicians, activities art/general knowledge, poetry reading.
Mum is 96 years old and lived in the home for three years and would not have reached that age without such dedicated care, I am very grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I first came to visit last October from London and we come up once a month now.
All the staff were very welcoming and full of great advice on what to say when my nana asks questions. I now have great relationships with a few of them, which is wonderful and gives me peace of mind between visits.
Nana's
room is lovely and always really clean. She seems very settled here and has strong relationships with all the carers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
There's a lot of new staff and residents which is unsettling for mum. The care from staff is very good and with her regarding food, she does refuse drinks because she doesn't want to be a pest asking for the toilet.
Staff are respectful towards her and the manager is nice but quite busy.
Mum likes
her room and is very comfortable. Mum feels safe and has no worries at all.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The environment and surroundings are very pleasant. My mum is a resident on the top secure unit and will now not go downstairs for entertainment.
Most patients on the top floor seem to benefit immensely from live music entertainment, unfortunately this does not seem to happen on a regular basis.
Some
of the staff have helped raise funds to assist this, but as a family, we would appreciate a little more funding being used in this area for the more advanced dementia suffers.

Mum has been here since February 2016 and found staff very good. She has made good friends and from being a very private and quiet lady, has come out of her shell and mixing well with the other residents, taking part in most of the activities.

My father, myself and my sister were treated with respect and dignity. The staff were happy, pleasant and nothing seemed too much trouble for them I cannot praise them enough.
The home was very clean and well run, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. It is not a good time for any family
but it was made a lot better and easier by all the staff.

Mum was approaching the end of her life and the wonderful staff at MApolewell Manor made it possible for her to stay in her familiar surroundings and receive all her care in situ. She was surrounded with the love and care of the Woodlands unit care staff and manager. The staff were very supportive of
us (her family) and made it possible for use to stay with mum until she passed away. She was treated with love, dignity and respect. Thank you to you all.

The care given to my husband over the last three years has been outstanding. All the carers have been excellent. They have cared for him with compassion and dignity and have shown a general understanding of his condition. They have offered me comfort and support throughout his stay.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident of Mapplewell Manor for almost three years. During that time he has received excellent care. His needs have been met in a caring, professional manner. He has benefited from the friendly interaction between the carers and has enjoyed the loving caring attention that has
been bestowed upon him. The care and attention to detail in caring for him has been excellent.
We, as a family, have been kept well informed of any changes affecting him. We too have also received friendship, compassion and support on an almost daily basis and have been made to feel that our opinions and feelings are important.
It is a happy, warm, caring and safe environment both for the residents and for visitors and I would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.

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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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: ( (407 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 486 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 41 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 41 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.
