Maycroft Care home provides a warm family atmosphere for Mum. The garden is lovely and a lot of effort has gone into it looking nice for the residents. It's a great space for the residents to sit in and my mum can have guests and sit with them outside in the shade. The staff are always welcoming and accommodating. Mum has lots of activities provided at the home and had a trip out to Felixstowe at the coast this June. The GP visits regularly and mum is always monitored with blood tests and check ups, it's really been a great little care home to discover in Meldreth. With under 25 residents creating a more homely effect. Many thanks to all the staff for looking after my mum.

The staff at Maycroft treat their residents with the utmost professionalism whilst treating them as people with feelings and personality. They always put everything into an event, be it someone's birthday or a special day in the year, they always make it fun and inclusive. Care standards are high.

I would like to thank all the staff at Maycroft for the wonderful 100th birthday party they organised for our mother. Some of her grandchildren visited the weekend before and were made very welcome. On the day there was entertainment followed by a fish and chip lunch for all her family, served outside in the garden. We also enjoyed a delicious birthday cake and some 'bubbly' with her. Thank you.

We had a most joyful and happy celebration of Mother's Day on Sunday 30th March. The main communal area was colourfully decorated. There was much singing and dancing and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and singing along. The tea was excellent too! The staff were very attentive to their residents and very prompt in attending to their needs. Overall, I have every confidence they are looking after our mother with every good intention and care. The professional team are very friendly and open to all our requests. They always have a smile. They frequently ask us if we would like tea or coffee or water. It is so warming to be welcomed and the residence is so homely.

I visited Maycroft Residential Care Home on Mother's Day and was moved by the caring of all the staff who go the extra mile to bring happiness to the residents. The Party food was delicious and well presented and the staff took care to adhere to all hygiene rules. The Manager is very professional and gets involved with everything. All staff, Manager and catering staff get a ten out of ten from me.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Maycroft since 2016 and has had exemplary care from Maycroft and all staff with all needs being met to a high standard. The new manager is such a caring person and always helpful.

My mother has been a resident at Maycroft for the last 3 years and she suffers from Dementia. The staff are very caring and patient ensuring that she always feels safe and reassured with the manager providing guidance and support if needed. With this being a small home the residents are familiar with each other and activities occur on a regular basis for all to enjoy. A hairdresser also visits once a week with an optician and podiatrist also coming when needed. In summary, the home gives me peace of mind that Mum is being looked after by people who care and can adapt to Mum's changing condition when needed but more importantly Mum is happy living here.

The team at Maycroft always go above and beyond for my mother. I cannot thank them enough for the kindness and care that they consistently show to all our family. They go out of their way to ensure they give their full support wherever needed.

My father was a resident at Maycroft for only a few weeks, but the care he received in this time was exceptional. The home is very well run by the current manager and team. The home is small, and friendly and the staff have a great relationship with their residents. My father was made very welcome and cared for compassionately, as was his family when visiting. I would not hesitate in recommending Maycroft to friends looking for a residential home for their loved ones.

My aunt has been very well cared for and enjoys a little bit of pampering that she didn't allow herself at home. There have been activities and socialising even when external events have made staffing difficult. Easy communication has been reassuring.

Maycroft staff are always accessible and helpful. Never have to look for help, it's always there. Very caring environment with good leadership from the top. All Staff members are cheerful and always helpful.

My mum is in Maycroft and has a lovely downstairs en-suite garden room. The staff are caring and there is a real homely feel in the home, lots of chatter music and laughter, and always someone to chat with and support them. The manager is first class and goes over and above for every resident and communication home from the senior team regarding Mum's health and concern is so very reassuring. I would certainly recommend this smaller homely care home.

My mother has flourished since she has been at Maycroft. She is eating well and even gaining weight. She is clean and tidy and looks healthy and happy. There are plenty of activities for her to take part in and all staff are very attentive, supportive, patient and kind. The management is exceptional, and I feel it has gone over and above in keeping me updated with how my mother is settling into life in the care home. The home itself is clean and very welcoming and has a real 'family' feel about it.

My mother has needed care 24/7 at Maycroft since January of this year and I would like to say she has been very well looked after by friendly, supportive and expert staff. The food and entertainment provided are of a very high standard and the accommodation is excellent. Many thanks to you all.

My need was for convalescent/respite care following a severe gastric episode. I also have a past history of PTSD/trauma. My stay at Maycroft was at short notice but I was welcomed into a warm and friendly atmosphere and family. I needed help and was given it. I found the staff competent and caring. Should I ever need a break again, I would choose Maycroft.

We felt the warmth and homely atmosphere of Maycroft as soon as we crossed the threshold and knew this was the right place for my husband who suffers with Dementia. Our feelings have been proven correct now that he has lived there for the past seven months. It was a heart-wrenching experience letting our loved one go and passing his care over to strangers. But the manager and staff have been exceptional in helping us all deal with this huge change in our lives and welcomed us all into their family. They are friendly, very caring, and approachable, and go the extra mile to ensure that the health and happiness of the residents is paramount. The Residents are encouraged to take part in organized varied daily activities. My husband has joined in some of these including cooking Brownies, much to our surprise, the first time cooking in eighty-one years! We are always welcome to visit, join in the activities and are invited to Celebrations which we have thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Maycroft.

We have been more than pleased with the help and support given to my mother-in-law and the care and support shown to the family, especially in the early days when she was very unsettled. Nothing is too much trouble and we feel able to ask anything and staff whenever we visit we are always asked if she or ourselves need anything.

Lovely staff and atmosphere. Dad has transformed into much more of his old self. A great home. After previous negative experiences at other homes, the effort of the staff and management is hugely appreciated.

I have never seen my friend's husband look so happy and content since he had to go into care. Maycroft Residential Care obviously suits him. He smiles so much which is a joy to see. He now joins in with whatever is going on. Everywhere is clean and tidy and the rooms are excellent. Everyone is treated with care and dignity This is all down to the excellent manager and her wonderful staff. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They are a team to be proud of and I would have no hesitation in recommending Maycroft to anyone.

My husband, who has Alzheimer's, was in two previous care homes where he was constantly pacing and agitated before moving to Maycroft. In just one month, the change in him is incredible. The homely atmosphere and lovely, caring staff have have made him so much more relaxed and happy. All our family and friends, when visiting, have commented on the huge change. This is thanks to the manager, carers and all the supporting staff who have helped him settle in and feel so welcome. When I go to visit him I am always greeted by the staff with a lovely smile and kept up to date with how he is doing. He now joins in with the various activities, which never happened where he was before. The residents' families receive weekly updates of the past week's activities from the manager, which is always very welcome. I cannot praise the Maycroft enough and would highly recommend to anyone.
