Maples Care Home is a purpose-built nursing home, set over 3 floors in a residential area of Bexleyheath.
The home has been carefully designed to offer all the facilities that residents would expect from a modern nursing home while retaining a warm, homely and relaxed feel.
Maples has a total of 75 ensuite bedrooms that are spacious and comfortably furnished. Residents are encouraged to personalise their room with pictures, family photographs and belongings of their choice.
Dedicated nursing and care staff are on hand on each floor 24/7, and the key worker system means that residents will always have a friendly and familiar face looking out for them.
The home provides person-centred nursing, palliative, respite and dementia care. Dementia care at Maples supports independence, reduces anxiety and ensures that residents feel comfortable and can enjoy the best possible quality of life.
The communal areas provide a mix of quiet spaces where residents can sit and relax or chat with visitors (who are welcome at any time) and larger areas where the home holds a variety of daily activities. A dedicated salon provides on-site hairdressing facilities.
Along with the rest of the home, the large, landscaped garden at Maples is fully wheelchair accessible and offers a relaxed and safe environment with plenty of seating space.

My mum was admitted to Maples on 27th May 2026 for residential care due to deteriorating dementia. From the time of admission we have seen nothing but genuine care and compassion for her from every member of staff. We are completely satisfied with the attention mum receives from all the various teams within the home. The management and admin staff are very approachable. The carers show patience and consideration to mum's specific issues. The housekeeping team keep her room very clean and tidy. The activity team do their utmost to include all residents within events during each day. All meals we have seen have been good quality and served in a cosy dining area dressed like a tea house. The medical staff ensure we are kept closely advised of any health issues and arrange for a local GP to visit the home every Thursday for the benefit of all residents. We are very happy with the general atmosphere at Maples and most importantly my mum always tells us that she is happy at the home.
Thank you so much for your review of our home. We are pleased your mum has settled in well with us and you are pleased with the experience you have had. Your comments will be shared with the team.
We were very pleased with our experience, the staff were very kind to both us and the residents. We were pleased that residents have their choose of meals. It was very clean and had a cheery atmosphere. We look forward to future visits

From the moment my partner arrived, he was made to feel welcome and at ease. He settled in quickly thanks to the wonderful carers and entertainment team. His room was spotless, comfortable, and perfect for his needs.
The staff work incredibly hard, always with smiles on their faces, and they treat every resident with genuine kindness and respect. The entertainment team are fantastic, with regular singers, singalongs, and a variety of activities that keep everyone engaged and happy. The food is excellent, with varied weekly menus, and the cleaning staff keep the home immaculate.
The manager and deputy manager clearly lead a caring,well run home always ready to answer any questions we may have
We are so grateful we found Maples.

I placed my 80 year old mum into Maples Care home for 9 days of respite whilst I went on holiday, from the moment I called the home to arrange a show round to checking mum in I found the staff to be so lovely, welcoming and friendly. My mum had a lovely room with a welcome card when she arrived which was a lovely personal touch. My mum returned home from her respite stay for 4 days and she has now decided to move into Maples permanently. The food is lovely, and the staff are anmazing and I couldn't think of anywhere else I would want my mum to be.
Overall, I found the home friendly and caring, it's clean, the food has been good. We noticed the care on the first floor to be slightly better, but it was clear that the people on that floor needed more assistance. So more staff appeared to be on duty. It may only be my opinion, but I feel that...
Overall, I found the home friendly and caring, it's clean, the food has been good. We noticed the care on the first floor to be slightly better, but it was clear that the people on that floor needed more assistance. So more staff appeared to be on duty. It may only be my opinion, but I feel that there is less staff on the ground floor, especially during meal times. I raise this because my mother needs a small degree of help when using the toilet.
Mum is 95 and has settled in straight away.

My mother was in a respite care home following a fall and a stay in a Rehab ward in hospital. During her stay there, her condition deteriorated, she had another fall and got two serious open sores. The home in question gave us few days to get out as they couldn't provide the right care. I went and saw the manager of the Maples who seemed very professional. She came and assessed my mum on a Sunday and we moved her here on a Tuesday. The nursing care has been excellent, the staff are very kind and caring, my mum has settled in and always tells us how nice the food is. We're very happy.
Thank you John for a lovely review. I am very happy you feel we are meeting your mums nursing needs and she has settled very well here at Maples. Our chefs have reviewed our menu with the residents and our Summer Menu will begin this week. I will let the team know your thoughts. Kind regards Nikki: Home Manager

The entertainment is brilliant inclusive for every ability for residents. I am so grateful and happy that my grandmother is in this home it has been so comforting to see her progress from being here in only 4 weeks. I look forward to visiting her and spending time in such a wonderful place.
All departments work hard to ensure our residents lives are enhanced here at Maples. I will share this review with my team. Thank you again. Nikki: Home Manager
Since my mother has been in Maples from July 2026 we have nothing but praise for the care and dedication given to her. She is well looked after.

Avoid. Unless your happy to put your loved one into care and never know what's going on with them thereafter. Also don't trust their possessions will be cared for as once your loved one no longer needs their care they will lose their things. Disgusting treatment of families at very hard times for them. Zero compassion.

Thank you for your feedback and we are acknowledge that losing a treasured item when a loved one passes is v distressing - we can confirm that the item in question was left for collection in the room however despite a thorough search of the home and laundry we have been unable to locate the missing item and for this we truly apologise - moving forward we have re educated our team to ensure they are completing the inventory item forms for all new admissions when residents move in and out of the home or sadly pass away so we can locate items and belongings and keep a track of where they are either in the home or if residents families have collected them. At The Maples we pride ourselves in treating all of our residents and families with dignity , respect and compassion so I am disappointed that you feel we have fallen short of this expectation in this instance and commit to improving in the future.

Our family has serious concerns about the care provided at Maples Care Home. Medication appeared to be administered without clear consent or explanation, raising concerns about communication and safeguarding. During one visit, several swabs meant for overnight use were left untouched, suggesting personal care checks were not completed as expected. We also felt that our relative did not receive the dignity and attention deserved during end-of-life care. Concerns raised with staff and management were not adequately acknowledged or resolved. We hope these issues are reviewed to ensure improvements in care, oversight, and family communication.
Thank you for taking the time to complete your review from your personal experience. Your points have been noted and meetings have been held with several family members. If you would like to discuss your concerns further in person please do get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time. Best wishes

My brother experienced a difficult period, between the Home and hospital stays, during which Maples nursing staff were very helpful in ensuring he returned and settled well back in the Home.
Thank You for the review. I am glad to here it has been a positive experience for your brother and you as a family despite the difficult health issues.

My Brother and I had a difficult decision to make after my mother suffered a stroke. Her independence was completely taken away. After months of home carers, numerous falls and hospital stays we decided permanent care was the only way forward. We visited many, but Maples seemed to fit exactly what we were looking for, and we definitely made the right decision. Our mother is safe, happy and loved by all who work there. She knows it is her permanent home and loves it. The team work tirelessly to make the home feel like home and the care they give feel like extended members of their own family. We can't thank them enough for all their love, care and attention.
Thank you for your kind review. It is always a difficult decision when having to move someone into a care home I am happy this has been a positive experience.
My father does not have a great quality of life so the fact that he enjoys the food is a bonus.

thank you for your review and kind comments about the home. We are particularly delighted to hear that your father is really enjoying his meals! We understand the point you have raised about staff changes. Our people do move on for various reasons, so we use agency staff at times to ensure that we have sufficient personnel to be able to give our residents the care that they need while we are looking for replacements. Our aim is to offer the greatest continuity of care for our residents and the opportunity to build closer relationships with families. In the meantime, if you have any other queries about any aspect of your father's care, please feel free to come and talk to me.
I feel that mother in law, has been forgotten! She doesn't appear to have any social contact with anyone. I thought the home had people to come and chat to the residents. I feel that when I visit her door is mostly always pulled to. She can't even see people walk past.

thank you for your review. We are so sorry to hear that you feel that your mother-in-law is lacking in social contact at times. We appreciate honest feedback from our families, and work tirelessly to ensure that our residents' care and wellbeing are the best that they can be. You and I have now spoken about your concerns. As you can appreciate, we do have to take account of our residents' wishes and this includes their participation in group activities. However, as your mother-in-law is fond of music, I have asked our activities team to do some focused music activities with her, as and when she wishes to. If you have any other queries or concerns about her care, please do feel free to come and talk to me at any time - my door is always open! You can also talk in confidence to our quality team on 07810 487150 and email them via quality@canfordhealthcare.co.uk.

The management team listen to the relatives and try their best to accommodate the family's wishes.
A move into a care home is a significant step, not only for the elderly person but also for the family; the staff at Maples have provided welcome support to ease this transition.
Thank you for the kind review. We always want to make the transition from home to a care home as easy as possible as it is a very big decision to make. We are happy to hear this has gone well. We are always open to any feedback you may have to make this process a positive one.

My dad was only at Maples for a few months but myself and the family would like to say how wonderful and caring all the staff were throughout Dad's stay. Unfortunately Dad passed away at Maples and the staff went above and beyond to make Dad and all the family comfortable and cared for at the beginning and end and we will be forever grateful for the professionalism and caring we received. Don't change anything, just keep up the splendid work that you all do.
Thank you for your kind review. I am happy to hear that the staff went above and beyond for your Dad and you as a family. We will endeavour to continue to provide the high standard of care which you experienced.
My relative could be given more care and attention and the TV and music should be relevant to the resident's age group.

I qualified as a nurse in 1991, initially specialising in Elderly Care and completing further studies to support this speciality, ENB 941, 931 and 998. I married and then worked within the Army as a nurse specialising in the care of families and children. Once leaving the Army, I specialised as a Nurse Specialist Practitioner in Practice Nursing, working in GP surgeries, having the autonomy to run specialised clinics. I then chose to dedicate myself to my 1st passion of working with the elderly and have been a Registered Manager within Care Homes for the last 18 years. I am a passionate, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable supportive leader and team player who thrives on delivering care that is based on a person’s individual needs.
