Mum moved to the Maples in February of last year, became seriously ill in November and required total care until she sadly passed away last week. Throughout all phases of her time at the Maples her care was exemplary and all the staff were kindness itself both to mum and to my sister and I when we were able to visit. Covid made life difficult for us all and especially for Care Homes and their staff but the Maples went out of their way to make things as smooth and pleasant as possible and I cannot thank them enough.

One of the worst "Care" Homes in the North West. Abuse, lies and over charging weekly rates for their rooms to pay for the villa(s) in Spain.

What a wonderful care home. We looked at many homes around Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent before making our choice. Small family run residential home with a dedicated management and staff team. Lovely gardens with space to move around in. We would highly recommend The Maples as a safe and caring home for your loved ones. Mr.J.Harper
