Reviews for Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home

"I would like to place a review on behalf of my uncle who is a resident. All the staff have a wonderful attitude, always caring and always speak to me when I visit. The activities programme is amazing, the activities coordinator does such an amazing job, she finds different activities for the residents to enjoy. In March, through all the activities coordinator’s hard work, she arranged for my uncle to attend the local football club one Saturday afternoon to watch a match, this is something he had wanted to do for some time as he was a regular supporter back in the day, the football club made them both very welcome, treated Uncle like a VIP guest, provided drinks, all the football team shook his hand and he even had a go at kicking the ball into a net, the pictures the activities coordinator took showed a wonderful, smiling uncle who loved the day so much, I don’t think he wanted to end. The activity programme over a week is always so varied and we all love looking at the pictures that are posted most days of what they have been up to."

"My dear father-in-law is a resident here. He is receiving first-class care and sometimes goes on outings too. There is a beautiful garden here which he has been in. The staff are all friendly. Today, one member of staff has been very kind and supportive to me. She showed me a lovely photograph she took of my father-in-law when he was recently resident of the week which made my visit special."

"Dad came to Maple Leaf Lodge for just over 2 weeks of respite care while I had cataract surgery back home where I live. Without exception, all the staff I met were extremely courteous, competent and professional, giving me complete reassurance that he would be well looked after. Dad also had the opportunity to engage in social activities which he wouldn’t have had at home. I would not hesitate to recommend Maple Leaf Lodge for respite or longer-term care, it’s a fantastic facility with amazing people who work there."

"Would highly recommend Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home. All staff are caring and cannot do enough for you. The food is well cooked and a good choice at all meals. The gardens are lovely and beautifully kept by the friendly gardener, it's lovely to sit out in the sun and enjoy the peace in such surroundings. The coffee lounge in reception is an unexpected bonus. The receptionists are always ready to help and have a chat. Laundry staff are very helpful and friendly. Overall, my experience has been five-star in all respects."

"This was an emergency respite admission as the lift at our facility was broken. There are three of us and we were made very welcome. The care staff are excellent and there are several activities on offer. We had three meals a day with a choice at each meal and the food was perfectly cooked daily on the premises. The reception staff were very helpful and I would recommend this care home for its welcoming decor and helpful staff."

Recently refurbished, all the rooms are nicely decorated and furnished to a high standard. The care staff are friendly and approachable and always treat the residents with dignity.

"Staff are very caring. Quick to answer the buzzer. Room is clean. Had a few accidents with blood on the carpet, cleaners were very quick at cleaning it up as soon as they can. Very good activities, something every day. Good food in general, although chicken can be spicy, especially the chicken salad at tea time. Bit heavy-handed with the gravy, gravy on everything. Not used to having gravy on ham or on chips. I'm a Southerner, we eat our food dry, no gravy."

"From day one the staff have been kind, helpful, polite and nothing is ever too much. The staff must have the off days but they always have a smile on their face when they come through the door. If there is something I don’t want on the menu the kitchen never hesitate to make me something I want. I don’t know how activities manage, so kind and always come to see me and do my shopping."

"I was absolutely delighted when my dad was able to come into Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home for three reasons. One his safety, two his happiness and three the family environment it offers. I've found all staff amazingly helpful and nothing is too much trouble for anyone, no matter what position they hold. The care element within Maple Leaf is 24/7 without a doubt. Activities are offered to my dad, they even provided a table tennis set to benefit him as he used to play in the local park. Food and drink are always available around the clock, in case my dad has slept through mealtimes. I'm very pleased with how settled my dad is and how well he is being cared for. I would highly recommend this care home. 100/10."

His room overlooks the garden which we hope to take advantage of in the summer. All the staff including management are pleasant and friendly with extreme patience.

"Dad has lived at Maple Leaf for 6 months and is very happy. The care and attention given to him is excellent I can not fault it. I don’t live in Grantham so can’t visit as often I’d like but find the social media updates lovely. It’s so nice to see him out and about and enjoying life despite living with dementia. We are always made to feel so welcome when we visit and Dad is happy which is so reassuring. I love the fact he is still taken out on trips as keeps him feeling part of the community. Every member of staff seems to know his name even the maintenance team it does feel like he’s living in a family home. Thank you."

"Happy and feel relieved with the care and attention my father receives at Maple Leaf Lodge. While his dementia means he's unable to communicate or remember what he's been doing, we are kept fully informed of any trips out. Their social media page also shows photos of all activities, which is wonderful. All staff are friendly and caring, facilities and activities excellent. Great to know he's safe and lovingly cared for."

"Having spent almost every day visiting my dad at Maple Leaf Lodge Care Home, I have seen firsthand how all the staff work. I cannot praise, the management and staff, enough, in all work areas. They seem very hard-working and they treat my dad with the utmost dignity and respect. It’s like having an extended family. Whilst the staff are very professional they are also extremely caring, friendly, polite and helpful. They help to make it a fantastic, homely environment with amazing decoration and furnishings (home from home). The meals are of an excellent standard. They always provide food for my dad if he has slept through mealtimes. They have a great activity team. Dad was recently taken out for coffee and cake. Also, the maintenance staff have dealt quickly and efficiently with any problems. Dad is being cared for impeccably. No complaints at all. Excellent care home would certainly recommend it. Thank you to all the wonderful staff."

"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.

"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."

"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."

"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."

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.

If I ever got stuck or needed help the carers were on hand helping myself and all of the residents who were in the activity. everyone is really caring and supportive."

"Mum first went into Avery Lodge for respite, not something mum or the family wanted but important for mum's health and safety. We have all been overwhelmed by the care provided. The warmth and friendliness of staff has been exceptional and mum has settled to the extent that she is highly likely to remain there. She raves about the food (thank goodness, she is gaining weight) and participates in the activities. We arrived once to find her having a facial and another time covered in paint following an art activity. She's definitely a late developer (years spent bringing up a family and caring for others) But right now she seem s to be having a great time. Brilliant news."

"My father moved into Avery Lodge in December 2015. He had always said he did not want to go into care, but after his latest heart attack, he was very frail and nervous and he realised he could no longer look after himself at home. From day one the care and support he has received has been excellent. The staff are always attentive and encouraging, nothing to is too much trouble and have even managing to get him to join in with some of the social activities, which he has never done before. He quickly settled and accepted Avery Lodge as his home. My father recently said himself that he could not get any better care, and that it is a lovely relaxing place to be. He is happy and treats Avery Lodge as his home. We visit several times a weeks and we are always made welcome and feel totally relaxed sharing the home environment. It is a great relief to us to know that he is safe and well cared for. This is an excellent care home and I would recommend to anyone."

"Avery Lodge name clearly shown from the main road; gated, railed pedestrian path to entrance- automatic doorway. Vestibule/reception well staffed by smartly uniformed staff pleasantly welcoming bright people - extremely helpful. I was pleased with my accommodation - clean and tidy with good lighting and view of well kept and laid out gardens. En-suite area safely railed and alarms available - dining room tables cleanly set up, cutlery napkin wrapped. Meal attractively plated and well served by a happy team of staff. Truly "welcome home"."

"In recent years 3 family members have been resident at Avery Lodge. The quality of care received has been exceptional. The home is attractive and well maintained but it is the dedication of the staff that makes this home outstanding. Residents are treated with dignity, respect and kindness. Staff are warm and friendly. Visitors are always made welcome when just visiting or joining in with activities. Staff, whatever their role in the home, take the time to get to know the residents, chatting and having a laugh with them as well as doing their job and meeting residents' needs. As relatives, the staff have supported us through difficult times with professionalism, compassion and kindness. Queries or concerns have been swiftly addressed. As a family, we would like the staff to know we are so grateful for their dedication. You are an exceptional care home and we feel lucky and privileged to have had family members cared for by you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

"Our mother was not initially well-disposed to going into a home and it was traumatic for her and us. She was initially on the dementia ward and was very well cared for but felt 'overwhelmed' by the 'busyness' there. We asked for her to be moved to the ground floor as soon as a room came up. This happened after a few months and she is now much more content. We really appreciate the kind, caring environment Avery Lodge provides."

"My mother (91) was assessed as being suitable for this establishment, being high dependent. During her stay, she slipped as the staff were putting to bed. No doctor was called and it was 4 days later before we found out her leg was broken. We received no assistance from Avery Lodge management on this and as a result, she was admitted to NHS hospital and did not return. Due to the lack of responsible care during the above episode, I cannot recommend this establishment."

His skin problems evident in Spalding, with proper care by Avery, have disappeared. The staff on all levels are excellent and extremely caring and cheerful. My dad loves the food and playing table cricket and ball. He loves the garden and his walks and has told me he is very happy. I can't praise the staff highly enough for their care and attention. My heart sings. Thank you."

"My mother in law moved into Avery Lodge from the hospital as a result of a fall and has made remarkable progress with the help and commitment of all the staff that care for her. She has been encouraged to start taking more of a role in her own personal care and is now eating and drinking on a regular basis resulting in weight gain and increased mobility. Her dementia continues to be predictable but social interaction is definitely helping. We her family cannot praise highly enough the care both she and us receives, kindness and humour in abundance and visiting is a pleasure but also peace of mind for the first time in a long time. Heartfelt. Thanks to you all."

"Both my parents were residents at Avery Lodge for a number of years. My father was given a new lease of life by all that Avery Lodge offered during the six-plus years he was a resident. My mother was given extremely supportive care during the nine years she resided there. My parents varied in their care needs during their time at Avery Lodge and staff regularly reviewed and adjusted care to support them. Relatives are always encouraged to be involved in the review of care and staff are always willing to listen and act on any concerns. The friendly, kind staff always show dignity and compassion. The food, accommodation, facilities, cleanliness and residents' activities are all of a high standard. All the team at Avery Lodge work hard to provide an exemplary residential home. I couldn't have wished for more from a residential home for my parents."

"I have visited the Avery Care Home in Grantham to see a friend of mine who has been a resident for around three and a half years. During that time I have observed various members of staff performing their respective duties in a friendly, caring and professional manner. However, recently I have observed that there has been quite a number of staff changes which, I believe has impacted on the established members of staff. Who, appear to be undertaking additional tasks to supplement those newer members of staff gain an acceptable standard of professionalism. It would be very unfair to single out any individuals for praise, as I believe that ranging from the current management, reception, housekeeping, maintenance, activity coordinators, catering staff and of course, the care staff are all amazing in providing a safe, friendly and supportive place for my friend. Thank you. Overall, I believe that the Avery is a very good care home and it meets and fulfils my friends care requirements."

My brother is a long term resident and has always been very well cared for at Avery Lodge but his care has been wonderful over the past 2/3 months and I feel the new Home Manager has had a big influence on this improvement.
