Inside The Maples
What People Say About Us
My mum stayed at The Maples for three weeks in order to receive rehabilitation after four weeks in hospital. All members of staff were excellent – the receptionists, carers and in house physiotherapist were all welcoming, helpful and supportive of mum and her visitors. Communication with us was extremely good. Mum was very comfortable there and we felt she was very safe during her stay there.
The Maples is a clean and beautiful residential care home, the staff and the caring team are very friendly and make you feel very welcome. My mom is a resident here and she is very happy, which makes the family feel more secure knowing mom is in a safe environment. Maples you are doing a great job.
Found the home to be well laid out. Staff very friendly and caring. Rooms spacious with all facilities. Residents have full access to dining and lounge. Even able with help to access gardens. I would highly recommend to anybody seeking care.
Care staff are very friendly and helpful, as is management. Rooms are clean and spacious. Dad is a lot happier since moving here, he enjoys visits from Ted the dog and enjoys a sing-a-long when entertainment is on

🌸 How Doll Therapy Helps:
✔️ Encourages communication – Engages emotions and conversation
✔️ Provides comfort – A soothing presence, especially for people living with dementia
✔️ Creates purpose – A meaningful way to stay engaged
Seeing the smiles, gentle care, and heartfelt connections formed through doll therapy is truly special. These small moments make a big difference in the people living with us. 💕

This week is Dementia Awareness Week.
The Oaks Care Home have started the week with their Time for a Cuppa tea party – part of the Annual Charity Tea Party for @dementia_uk, raising awareness and support for people affected by dementia.
People, families, and the team came together over a lovely cuppa and delicious cake, while enjoying the sounds of classic favourites, tambourines, rattles, and plenty of dancing. 🎶💃
It’s a joyful reminder of how music, movement, and shared moments can make a real difference in dementia care💙

🇬🇧 VE Day at Our Homes – 80 Years On 🇬🇧
Today marks 80 years since Victory in Europe Day, and our homes came together to celebrate with a wonderful mix of remembrance and joy.
Our people enjoyed a 1940s-themed street party, complete with Union Jack cakes, flags, and music bringing the spirit of the era to life. Looking through old photographs sparked special memories, as we honoured the resilience and stories of a remarkable generation.
What a wonderful day it has been!

🌟 Introducing Our New Chapter: Bracebridge Care Group is Now EQ Care Group! 🌟
A fresh look, a new name, but the same unwavering dedication to what matters most.
Our mission has always been to put people at the centre of everything we do. At EQ Care, everything we do has real gravitas and meaning, it’s not just what we do, it’s who we are.
Our new name reflects this foundation. EQ stands for Emotional Quotient — the measure of emotional intelligence, and the heart of how we care. It’s about empathy, connection, and understanding.
This rebrand represents an exciting new chapter, but our core values remain unchanged:
• Everyone cares from the heart.
• Everything is done with intention.
• Every action is rooted in emotional intelligence.
🎥 Tune in to hear from our CEO, Samantha Crawley, as she shares more on this new transformation.
www.eqcare.org
#EQCare #EmotionalIntelligence #CareWithHeart #NewBeginnings
🎉 Something new is coming... 🎉
We’ve been working on something special behind the scenes, a fresh new look that reflects who we are, where we’re going, and the care we provide every single day.
Next Wednesday, we’re unveiling our rebrand, and we can’t wait to share it with you.💚
