My Mum has been a resident at Maplewood Court for several years.
I visited several homes before my Mum moved into care and Maplewood was by far the best.
My Mum is so well looked after and all the staff are always welcoming when family members visit. The staff are very good to her and she always appears
to be happy considering she severe dementia and is bed ridden.
Id like to thank all the staff for all they do.

We really could not have found a lovelier home for our dear Mum than Maplewood Court. It is such a beautiful and therapeutic place to be, where Mum, and all of our family, feel valued and cared for. The staff are so kind, and we have the peace of knowing that she really is in the best of care. Mum
used to love going out to coffee shops, and so the 'Bistro' is a lovely area where we sit with her, and have a cuppa and a piece of home made cake. For many years, Mum liked to paint with watercolours, and a lovely lady who does crafts with the residents, has been helping her to begin enjoying her painting again, which is so lovely to see. We truly can't tell you how very thankful we are for the blessing that is Maplewood Court.

Our initial experience of Maplewood Court and their excellent staff team is very positive indeed. From the very first phone call we made as novices to this sector to where we are now, well informed and assisted at every stage to select appropriate care for my aunt.
My aunt, initially a reluctant
resident, was within a few short weeks at the hands of caring, friendly staff exercising their many skills to introduce her to the rhythms and activities of the home, settling beautifully and looks and feels much happier and healthier than when she arrived. She now feels involved and accepted by a good circle of friends and attends most activities, not to mention having her hair styled regularly and looking forward to the ministrations of the chiropodist. So much so we often find it difficult to catch her in her room when ringing her.
We cannot fault the care and the attention to detail in the home, all queries are dealt with speedily and followed up whenever necessary.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a positive review. Your Aunt is settling beautifully with us. I will share this lovely feedback with the team.

My mother spent the last 15 months of her life at Maplewood Court until she passed away recently. During this time, she was extremely happy and received fantastic care from the team at the Maplewood Court care home. From the top down, I have never seen so many smiling, welcoming and caring personnel.
Nothing was too much trouble, there was always staff on hand to provide any assistance and motivation. My mother was involved in a variety of daily activities and really looked forward to her weekly "pamper" session with the hairdresser. Our family could not have been happier with the love and care that our mum received at Maplewood Court care home and we would like to take this opportunity of thanking everyone for their amazing contribution to her life.

Reply from Michael Marley, Senior Client Relations Manager at Maplewood Court

Thank you so much for your kind words, which the whole team value, as it is always nice to receive positive feedback. Your mother will be missed!

Maplewood Court has been home to my Dad for the last 2 years until he sadly passed away recently.
Dad received excellent care, he was not always the easiest of residents but the team showed understanding, care and patience always.
The home itself is fabulous and clean and nothing is too much trouble
for anyone.
Thank you to you all.

I cannot fault the physical and emotional care given to my mother during her five-month residence and especially in her last week. The facilities and catering in the home are excellent but, more importantly, the staff are without exception supportive, caring and loving. It is hard to place a loved one
in someone else's care but I couldn't have wished for better.

A bright, cheerful home. Friendly, responsive and caring staff. Lovely facilities. Food choices very good. Laundry service staff were cheerful and very efficient. No items lost and my clothes all returned to me according to the manufacturer's labels. I would thoroughly recommend this home. I stayed
for 2 weeks post-op respite care.

From the minute my mother arrived at Maplewood two years ago, until her final passing recently, the service from the team at Maplewood has been excellent. Whilst my mother was a spirited and determined individual, she received a consistent and compassionate high level of care. Our family felt she was
always in a safe place with her best interests always taken into account. The home was spotlessly clean, the quality of the food perfectly suited and nothing was ever too much trouble. The whole team must be commended and we are grateful for their attention.

We were really impressed with the care and the facilities. My mother was so much happier at the home. The staff were lovely and friendly. The atmosphere was so relaxing. The communication was timely and kept us informed of my mother's condition, which was reassuring as both my brother and I are not
local. Thank you.

Mum moved into Maplewood Court in July 2023 after a very bad experience at an assessment centre. The staff spent time and effort to make my Mum feel safe and secure at Maplewood. There were reviews every month about how Mum was doing and also residents' family meetings held regularly where we had a
chance to talk with the Manager and other families.
Mum had dementia and was not always easy but the staff dealt with her as if she was one of their family. She passed away in early February. The staff took care of Mum but also ensured that the family was ok too. It was clear that they cared about Mum a lot and did everything to make her last couple of days as comfortable as possible. The manager came in to check on us and even the reception staff made sure we were ok on our arrival and departure each day. I could not have asked for more for Mum and highly recommend Maplewood Court.

Maplewood Court has proved to be the best choice I could have made for my father's last few months. You can pay for care but kindness is priceless. It makes all the difference. It’s not an easy decision where you place your loving parents and you don’t really know what experience they have when you
aren’t there, you can only hope it’s as good as you would wish for. It was.

Maplewood Court is beyond wonderful. My grandad spent the last 3 months of his life here and from day one, the care he received was amazing. The staff are professional, caring, supportive, friendly and compassionate. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone is always so welcoming. The building and the
facilities are first class, very well thought out and superbly maintained. I cannot praise Maplewood Court enough for the quality of care they gave grandad. We will be forever grateful to them for that.

My dad was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2015. He moved to Maplewood Court on 15th May. This was following a two-week hospital admission for a partial hip replacement sustained from a fall in another care home, having fractured the left hip last year. From the day Dad moved into Maplewood, the
staff had him shaved, nicely dressed and sitting in a wheelchair. He looked a different person from how he had presented in the hospital. He was happy and singing to the staff. Staff encouraged Dad to engage in the activities provided in the home, always mindful if he became restless and being aware that if not watched he may have another fall. As Dad's overall condition deteriorated he spent more time in bed. Once again the staff excelled at keeping him comfortable. Sadly Dad died on 28th July - the nurse that informed me was professional and sensitive as she always has been. I am so grateful that Dad spent his last month being loved and cared for in this wonderful home - thank you.

My Father-in-law has been at Maplewood Court for a few months now. Despite having dementia he settled well and this has been helped enormously by all the wonderful staff here. The care home staff think of everything and it is such a lovely place to visit. I can't recommend it highly enough!

We are so pleased that Mum is happy and settled at Maplewood Court. The attention from all the care staff is to be applauded, and nothing is too much trouble to make her life comfortable and happy. There are many activities for her to participate in. The rooms are immaculate, clean and well-fitted.
The meals are taken in a very well-appointed dining room, which is laid out like a five-star hotel, and the meals match the setting. We have found the nursing care to be very professional when needed, and we were informed immediately when there was an issue. There is a cinema room that can be used to show family photos etc, on the widescreen TV and the reception team offer snacks and drinks as well. What more can you ask for.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.979)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.979) out of 10 for Maplewood Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.979 for Maplewood Court is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.979

  • 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 Maplewood Court is based on 16 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 16 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.

Joanna Mazza

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2022

I qualified as a Registered General Nurse in 1994 and began my career working in a hospital in general medicine, before moving into more acute cardiac services working on Coronary Care.
I then became a Cardiac Research Nurse and spent time working on the Heart Protection Study in partnership with the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.


I then moved into the private sector and worked as a Clinical Nurse Adviser working in primary care working my way up to Field Manager before moving into Elderly Care in 2007.

My ethos in my role is very much that with great teamwork and collaboration we can achieve anything for our residents and their families, and every single staff member contributes to the success of the home.


I have previously been nominated for Nurse Adviser of the Year at the Pf Awards and in elderly care, I was more recently nominated in Dementia Environment and Care Manager categories in both the National Dementia Awards and National Care Awards.


Our residents are at the centre of everything we do at Maplewood Court. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family – I have ten-year-old twin girls and I enjoy running approximately three times a week.

I am delighted to have joined the Oakland Care family as Senior Client Relations Manager for Maplewood Court. My experience in the role goes back 11 years now, including the commissioning of a new care home. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than assisting families to explore full-time care options, whilst sharing insights during what is often a stressful time for them. Outside of work, my biggest passion has always been travel, which hopefully will become easier again in the fullness of time!
