We make health happen
Here at Bupa we support those when they need it the most. Our care homes are dedicated to delivering person-centred care, supporting independence and honouring choice to help our residents live their best lives.
The Maypole Care Home has recently been refurbished and provides
nursing and residential care for up to 68 young adults with physical
disabilities (YPD), as well as older people, who are unable to live
independently at home.
The Home for YPD provides personalised
care and support for young adults, specifically tailored to their
individual needs.
Their highly skilled nurses, carers and
ancillary staff create a welcoming and homely environment, promoting
independence and quality of life, regardless of age or progression of
illness.
The home is purpose-built with spacious and comfortable
lounges, enabling residents to relax and spend time with family and
friends. Every bedroom has en suite facilities, a television,
telephone point and Wi-Fi, while some offer views of the gardens.
Residents are encouraged to accessorise their rooms to their own
personal tastes.
Tasty and nutritious meals are created every day
by the in-house chef who really gets to know and understand the
residents’ preference and specific dietary requirements. In the
evenings and overnight, snacks and refreshments are available from a
Night Bites menu.
