Maple Leaf Lodge is a modern, spacious, residence situated near to local amenities providing residential, respite, palliative, and dementia care.

Bedrooms are set across three floors and each floor has its own large dining room and two living rooms, meaning peace and quiet is never far away. All furnishings and decor throughout the home are of an exceptionally high standard.

There is also a beautifully landscaped garden that surrounds the home and a decked seating area, perfect for outdoor socialising. There's a greenhouse for those who want to grow their own vegetables.

Care workers understand that moving into Maple Leaf Lodge will be a considerable transition but it's one they try to make feel as easy as possible. By helping residents arrange their room just the way they like, or bringing their daily newspaper, staff will do the little things that make the biggest difference.

Meals vary daily, and are prepared by trained chefs, on-site, to provide a tasty and nutritious dining experience. Special dietary requirements will be catered for.

A dedicated activities coordinator oversees a number of events to ensure there is always something for residents to get involved with. These can be small events in the home day-to-day, as well as regular excursions and big one-offs. Residents and relatives are encouraged to make suggestions and requests to get the most from their experience.

I have found the staff and reception very helpful if I need to ask about anything to do with mums care. They are a very friendly team. I can ask anything and know I will get a reply quickly. My mum is very happy that she is there.

My husband has vascular dementia following a stroke and entered the nursing home last September. I have never been in his room due to covid so unable to mark rooms completed this form as best I can but difficult as I just visit in the pod. The new manager arrived last weeks so should improve. The entertainment
and entertainment staff are excellent residents are kept occupied.

Staff always go out of their way to chat to me when I call in to see my mum and since lockdown, when I've visited Mum in the pod. When I visited Mum I used to clean and cut her fingernails and deal with facial hairs. I wish these were covered with the care provided. Mum always looks at the staff with
genuine affection and them to her, which is lovely to see.

I am very happy with the care and consideration given to my daughter. Obviously, we miss physical contact as she does but understand the need for this. I would not wish anyone to risk visiting and take in Covid-19. The staff are very good with facetime and pod time and they are very much appreciated
by this family.

Thank you for everything you have done for Mum to enable her to live life to the full and for all the fun and laughter.
From the very beginning, when Mum was adapting to being suddenly widowed in her late eighties, to a very short final illness, we have been enormously impressed and grateful to all
the staff for their kindness, sensitivity, personal care, attention to detail, and wonderful attitude in helping Mum to make the very best of her time at Avery/Barchester Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home. Despite living with dementia, Mum has been able to continue to ‘be herself’ in the best way possible, with just the right amount of support needed for her to thrive.


And, in Mum’s last couple of weeks we were able to spend all the time we wanted together as a family with just the right level of support and help , and knowing that Mum could not have been in a better place either physically or mentally.

My Dad has been at Maple Leaf care home now for nearly two years.
The staff welcomed him with open arms and immediately took tests to see how his health and wellbeing were on arrival.
I cannot praise the staff highly enough and I feel happy in the knowledge that he is so well taken care of.
My
sister and I (who both live abroad) have regular video calls with him and we are able to see how well looks, is dressed and how healthy (proof he is enjoying his food).
He loves a cheeky banter with the staff and he is treated as one of a great and loving family. The staff are always polite, cheerful and professional.
I would have no doubt in recommending this care home to anyone needing a place for their relatives to stay as it is indeed a home from home.
The rooms are lovely and there are plenty of activities for the residents who are able and who want to join in.

I took my mum to stay for a week in September and I cannot praise it enough. I admit we had tears when we took her in as this was her first time in a care home environment so the nerves kicked in but as soon as we stepped foot inside everyone came forward to see mum and one member of staff, in particular,
was so amazing with her, definitely made a friend there I think.
When we picked her up a week later we had tears again because she didn’t want to leave!
The care home manager and his wonderful staff were simply amazing, nothing was too much trouble and it gave us the reassurance that we knew she was going to be well looked after and she was. So thank you, Avery Lodge.

Both my parents are in long term care, I cannot praise the staff, enough they've taken all the worry off me in giving them full-time care and both parents are happy being there. My dad had a fall but the care they gave him was excellent and they kept me informed at every step.

I was recently visiting my friend that was staying in this care home due to needing further care. Since lockdown, I have not been able to see him as much. I’m his only friend in Grantham as his family lives a long way away. The staff at Maple Leaf Lodge Grantham has been fantastic. Because of Covid
I’ve not been able to go and see him but they’ve been keeping me up-to-date with what he’s doing and they’ve also arranged FaceTime video. I’ve also been able to arrange a visit in the gardens which is lovely to see my friend again. The staff has been fantastic, so welcoming. He enjoys the activities that they provide as it keeps him active. I can’t thank them enough for what they do and especially at this time. Hopefully will see you all again soon.

Both my parents who have dementia are residing in Maple Leaf Lodge. It's a huge relief to know they are both safe and are receiving excellent care by all the team, due to COVID we are unable to go inside the home, however, the team all do a fantastic job to keep us up to date on how they are, and we
get to see them in the garden with the activities team.
I would like to thank everyone at Maple Leaf for all their hard work, it’s nice to see my parents so happy and well.

Over the past couple of months I’ve been unable to go to the home because of Covid, but the staff at Maple Leaf Lodge, have been perfect,
they’ve been organising garden visits and video chats, so we can keep in contact with our loved ones. They’ve been keeping us up to date on what’s happening. I can’t thank them enough for the care they provide.

My father has been in Maple Leaf for a number of months and at the beginning was very poorly and spent time in hospital, returning to the care home after the hospital stay. I visited a lot when he was settling in and I found all the staff friendly, kind, and attentive. They ring when he has been ill
and had to be admitted to hospital (before lockdown). Since we have not been able to visit they have always been helpful on the phone and organise face time with him twice a week. He now joins in with activities and there is a variety despite others not coming into the home to entertain. When there has been a problem which we would usually deal with the home have sorted it out
My father has a food allergy which they took extremely seriously and addressed from the beginning, checking all the menus and identifying what he can and can't have.
I have had full faith in the home to look after him at this difficult time, despite all the difficulties the care sector has experienced.

My sister was discharged from the hospital to continue recuperation in care. She has since returned to her own home where she manages with support to continue to live independently. At her request, we returned to the care home for her to say thank you. In the longer term, it is very likely that should
she need full-time care then this will be her preferred home. My sister has stayed in one other care home.

I have visited this care facility three times to visit a near neighbour, now a resident. My impressions are, this home is excellent, well run, pleasant and the staff are very polite, helpful, courteous. I have no reason to complain about anything I have seen. I doubt one could complain about excellence.

My grandfather was at this care home for five years. He had dementia, was blind, and whilst he couldn't fully appreciate all the activities available, he was as happy as he could be and always extremely happy with the food!
We were very happy with the care that was provided and the environment of
the care home. Everywhere was always spotlessly clean, and the staff attentive.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.683)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.683) out of 10 for Barchester Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.683 for Barchester Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 334 Ratings = 4.683

  • 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 Barchester Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home is based on 28 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 28 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.
