A big thank you to all the staff at Maple Lodge for the incredible job they did caring for my father-in-law. He joined Maple Lodge following an illness which meant he needed a wheelchair for mobility; after a short time, he was walking on his own and even skipping down the corridors. The staff have
been extremely courteous, caring and compassionate with my father-in-law and members of my family. During our almost daily visits over the past year, we have built up trust and confidence in the staff and observed the interaction between them and him. He was part of the Maple Lodge family group and we have been completely content with the care he received and know that he was happy at Maple Lodge; because he told us often. Sadly, my father-in-law passed away recently and it is a testament to the care and devotion felt by the staff of Maple Lodge that so many of them attended his funeral. We will always be grateful to all the staff for giving my father-in-law an improved quality of life during his time with them; we wish them well in future.

My mother was a resident for three years at Maple Lodge Care Home.
It is a purpose-built facility with wide corridors, a pleasant dining room and a large conservatory.
The staff were caring and friendly.
My mother was treated with great tact, concern and kindness during a difficult period at the

Everyone who works at Maple Lodge does everything possible for the good of the residents. It is a bright, welcoming home with excellent facilities. They go the extra mile with activities programme and, where possible, this includes visits to coffee mornings and social events at other venues. The residents
receive excellent care and good food. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for residential care.

Since my husband was admitted to the care home, I noticed a big improvement. Things have been changed for the better in running the care home. The house manager is putting every effort into doing what he can to the running of the place to a higher standard and is doing a good job. Very helpful when
needing to know about things. Nursing staff very caring, kind and attentive not forgetting the carers, can't do enough for the residents. I am happy knowing my husband has settled in well and gives me peace of mind, knowing he is in a safe and caring place, being looked after. Bedroom very small and not enough space to move round in.

Mum came into Maple Lodge in January 2018 after a period in hospital. This was not a ‘planned’ for move and mum has needed and been given a lot of support, encouragement and care by all of the staff.
This has not been an easy time but has been made much easier through the understanding of the manager
and the trust and confidence that we have in him to manage mum's safety and care. Living a long distance away I have been helped to stay in touch through emailed letters and phone calls to mum via both the manager and staff and have had all of my questions answered which is very reassuring. Staff are friendly and work hard, clearly caring for their residents, and I feel able to contact the home without being a nuisance!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

My mother spent 4 weeks in Maple Lodge. During that time, her hearing aids were put through the laundry and her glasses went missing.
I found the bedroom corridors frequently smelt of urine. Staff were difficult to find, and the reception was frequently unmanned.
Despite being told that mum needed
assistance dressing and washing, this was not done. Mum's dentures went missing for 3 days, and upon checking the pot she soaks them in, I found it full of dirty water.
The "activities" consisted largely of putting either the TV or CD player on. In the afternoons, an activity called 1-2-1 seemed to consist of nothing more than putting residents into a common room and leaving them there.
I will never let my mum go into this home again.

My dear husband spent the last 8months of his life at this amazing nursing home. Sadly I could not manage any longer at home. Their care for him was amazing, such kindness and he was treated with great dignity. The entire team were like a family to us, I spent the last 8nights at the home when his end
of life was imminent. They made me so welcome. His needs were great as he couldn't walk, talk or swallow but the staff dealt with it all with such compassion and professionalism. I cannot thank Maple Lodge enough.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.960) out of 10 for Maple Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 3.960 for Maple Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (122 Goods x 4) + (39 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Poors x 2) + (64 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 473 Ratings = 3.96

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Maple Lodge Care Home is based on 31 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I live in Catterick Garrison with my husband David and have five children, Kyle, Kane, Sophie, Jamie and Kieren. Most of my free time outside of work is spent with my family.

The thing I like most about working at Maple Lodge is the different responsibilities given to me with my multiple roles. The manager supports me and hopefully trusts me with jobs being given and getting done, and I like the fact that the manager is approachable. The admin helps me in so many different roles and I know that if I have a problem I can go to them and get advice, I am very happy at Maple Lodge.

I have worked at Maple Lodge since 2022. I had no formal care experience in the UK before working at Maple Lodge. Before this, I worked as an Account Executive in an FMCG company for 6 years and also as a carer in a children & adults home in my country, Nigeria. I decided to work in care because I want to make a difference in people's lives every day.

I achieved my WAEC certificate(West African Examination Council) in 2007 and went on to complete my BSc Accounting in 2014. I am currently studying for my MSc in Accounting and Finance at Teesside University. I am single and have no children yet, so in my spare time, I enjoy reading, catching up with world news, watching sports (especially football), playing games such as Ludo, listening to music, volunteering, travelling and relaxing.

The thing I like most about Maple Lodge is when I joined the team in October 2022, it was easy for me to fit in. I like the clean, well-equipped, and welcoming environment. This is thanks to the committed staff and management. The journey has been awesome for me. It was a new experience for me, but I have learnt new ways to impact others and be more compassionate in one's life every day.

I have worked at Maple Lodge since 2022. I have over one year of experience in care before Maple Lodge and I really enjoy the work. Before working in the care sector, I worked as an Internal Auditor with Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria from 2007 until I came to the UK in 2022. I chose to work in care because when my mother was ill, we needed a carer to attend to her. It was the tender nature with which the carer attended to my mother that attracted me to work in care, along with my empathetic nature. This spurred me to begin a volunteer care job with Neo-Life Care Home in Nigeria in January 2022. I worked there until I came to the UK in October 2022.

My qualifications include a Nigerian Certificate in Education (Economics/Mathematics) 1993, HND (Accountancy) 2000, B.Sc (Accounting) 2004, and M.Sc (Accountancy) 2016 and I am currently working towards my M.Sc in International Management Accountancy. I am also an associate member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria ICAN 2011.

I have a wife, and our marriage has been blessed with four children.

In my spare time, I like reading, networking, playing table tennis, travelling, and leisure.

The thing I like most about Maple Lodge is the cooperation amongst the staff for the purpose of our goal. Staff are involved in their shift patterns, and the manager will go to any length to satisfy the staff and residents' well-being, for the best running of the home. She also encourages staff achievements and recognises all staff contributions. This is also true of all management staff, ranging from Deputy Managers to Administration, Nurses and Senior Carers.

I have worked at Maple Lodge since 2023.

I have worked in care and hospital settings, gaining many years of experience and also in a conflict environment providing humanitarian assistance to internally displaced persons. My desire to work in the care setting was borne out of my experience of taking good care of my aged paternal grandfather, maternal grandmother and maternal grandfather before their passing. When I came to the United Kingdom for studies, I decided to work in the care sector because I want to continually provide care for the elderly and vulnerable in the society where I reside and put a smile on their faces.

In my educational career I have achieved BSc Political Science (University of Abuja, 2011), MSc Development Studies (University of Nigeria, 2016), MSc Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution (National Open University of Nigeria, 2017), Masters in Humanitarian and Refugee Studies (University of Maiduguri, 2021), MSc International Relations (University of Maiduguri, 2022) and am currently studying MSc Crime Intelligence and Data Analytics (Advanced Practice) and Teesside University.

In my spare time, I enjoy sports, travelling, conducting research, internet surfing, cooking, gardening and household chores.

I am originally from Umuhu Owelli in Awgu LGA of Enugu State in Nigeria.

The thing I like most about working at Maple Lodge is that it is a nice place to work as there are shared responsibilities among my colleagues in the team. There is diversity and multiculturalism. There is a sense of accord, acceptability and brotherhood among the care staff. The welcoming and friendly disposition of the manager, administrator and senior care assistants, who are ready to help at any given time is heart-melting. The manager and administrator are always ready to listen to staff and attend to their needs. The residents are the heart of the manager, who is friendly and always on her feet making sure the best quality care is provided to each and every one of them. Furthermore, the thing I also like most about working at Maple Lodge is I enjoy spending time with the residents and ensuring they are safe, clean and tidy. I like knowing that I am helping the residents enjoy their stay in Maple Lodge in a comfortable and homely environment as much as I can. Finally, there is shift flexibility, a good work/life balance, a good management team, job security and more.

I have worked at Maple Lodge since 2022. I used to work in home care for about a year. Prior to that I worked with children in nurseries and got my level 2 in childcare. I chose to work in care as I really enjoy it and I find it extremely rewarding not one day is the same, every day is different and brings new challenges. I recently changed over the the domestic department as this suited my family life with a young child.

I always feel I go home having made a difference in the resident's day. I have no qualifications within care yet, but I'm aiming to do my care qualifications soon to better myself and to ensure I'm giving the best possible care to our residents and being the best I can possibly be.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. We go walking around North Yorkshire, as it's such a beautiful place. My husband and I challenged ourselves for charity a few years ago to walk the Yorkshire three peaks. I enjoyed the challenge and seeing how far we could push ourselves physically and mentally. I am married to Russell and have four children; a 20-year-old son, Christian, an 18-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn,, a 9-year-old son, George, and an 18-month-old daughter, Gabrielle. We also have a dog named Skye.

The thing I like most about Maple Lodge is working together with our team, we are all so close like a family. Also getting to know and build relationships with each resident, listening to them and their stories. I also love how supportive we are, it’s a home-from-home for our residents and I love every moment.

I have worked at Maple Lodge since 2021. I’m originally from South Wales but am now based here with my husband and two children.

I have worked as a carer in some capacity or another since the age of 21. After taking a break to have my children, I returned to being a carer. I believe that jobs in the care sector are one of the most important jobs there is and take a great deal of satisfaction at the end of a shift. I have a QCF level 2 in health and social care. I recently switched to a domestic position as my main role, as the hours suit my home life better.

Looking after my two children, one of whom is autistic, takes up the majority of my time, often attempting to balance forming some semblance of a social life whilst trying to cling on to my sanity! But I do enjoy attending my local church on Sundays and helping out with their mother and toddlers group.

The thing I like most about working at Maple Lodge is getting to know the residents and chatting to them about their lives. I also enjoy working as part of a team, and over the years, Maple Lodge has become a familiar home from home.
