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

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.

ā¢ Everyone cares from the heart.
ā¢ Everything is done with intention.
ā¢ Every action is rooted in emotional intelligence.
