Mapplewell Manor

Mum had a minor stroke in 2013 and could no longer live alone. She was the first person to live in Mapplewell Manor. It was like a 7 star hotel. The staff were fantastic. Her first year was excellent and she was very happy. Unfortunately she developed very bad dementia. For the last 2 years she lived on the 3rd floor with other dementia cases. The staff were very attentive and she appeared to be happy but her health became worse. She died peacefully in the night.

My mother is very happy with some aspects of the home. The qualty of the food is variable, my mum is a full fee payer and does not feel that the food reflects the monthly cost. The carers are very good and meet my mothers needs promptly and with kindness and consideration.

It is managed extremely efficiently and overall provides an excellent environment for elderly care. I have no hesitation in recommending it as an example of how care could and should be provided.

My mother, with mental incapacity and thus able to live alone, has completed six months at Mapplewell Manor. She could not be happier and appreciates how lucky she is to be in such a caring and stimulating environment. Her birthday party showed the home and the staff to be outstanding.

I have lived here for three weeks. I love my room the view is lovely. Water fountain and flower beds. I enjoy the food especially here especially the cakes and buns. I feel the staff are very good and they don't rush me and are helpful with everything, my two daughters would like to stay here with me because its like a hotel and not a nursing home. I haven't been to any of the activities yet, because don't like to mix, but I have promised my daughters I will try to join in.

When we looked round we made our decision straight away. The whole set up is fantastic and my family and I have made the decision after three weeks at staying at Mapplewell Manor. I would love to stay permanently. The staff are respectful the food is good always nice and hot. I would like a larger room is possible. I would like a larger room if possible. The entertainment is very good, classical modern and comedy all varieties of activities to suit everyone. I wish my family could stay with me, they do enjoy them visiting.

This is a care home that sets standards for others to follows. Always clean, well staffed, very caring staff, good food. Hotel standard rooms. Whole building decorated to a high standard. My wife was a nursing sister and I think she gets the care she deserves.

The general atmosphere on the unit is welcoming, friendly and comfortable and encourages visitors to spend time there.

Always clean, tidy and smells lovely. A lot of patience is required and never seen anything but patience on this ward, loving and caring.

My step father has been coming to this care home since it opened for respite. Everyone is friendly and he appears happy in during his stay. He has been looked after by staff well.

The staff are caring, compassionate and cannot do enough for the people that care.

First class.

The entertainment over December has been excellent. The staff have gone all out to entertain every resident with pantomimes, singers Christmas fayres and parties.

Good entertainment programme. Varied. Coffee shop gives a good atmosphere where bingo, quizzes, etc are held. Staff are always on hand to help, are friendly and kind to everyone. The care is excellent.

Excellent entertainment for residents at all times. Lovely caring staff.

I like everybody. I get on with everybody. I help everybody. Everybody helps me. I would not want to be anywhere else.

Mapplewell is a lovely place for my Aunt to be place.d Staff are caring and supportive. the environment is clean, up to date and inviting. The coffee bar is a lovely place to sit and chat. Although my Aunt doesn't take part in many activities they have a varied programme to suit all tastes. I feel very comfortable to know that she is well cared for.

Lots of entertainment. Wonderful decorations. Really enjoyable Xmas dinner with my husband.

The entertainment over December has been good. There has been plenty going off for every resident panto parties, Christmas fayres ad sing-a-longs.

Bright, well decorated, clean, does not smell. Very happy staff. Lots going on. Mum has only been here 3 weeks, whether it's because of the Christmas season but there has been lots of entertainment, plus residents have a printed sheet to tell them what is going on. Mum has been kept very clean and well fed. Her washing is done every day. Very good.
