Summary of report content

Healthwatch Barnsley undertook an announced enter and view visit to Mapleton Court Care Home on 8 April 2026.

Healthwatch observed that Mapleton Court seemed to be a care home that was well run, and the residents they met seemed to be happy with their care and surroundings. 

They observed staff members assisting residents with feeding and walking around the units in a caring manner, with kindness and respect. Staff were interacting with residents calling them by name and offering to support them to do things rather than doing if for them. 

All the units were well maintained and free from any clutter or trip hazards, all corridors were wide enough for wheelchair access and had had rails to support the less mobile. There was good information provided at the entrance to each of the units and there were photographs of residents displayed in the corridors showing the activities that had taken place. There were photographs of staff giving their names and roles so they could be identified by residents or visitors.
