Karen Norris is Deputy Manager at Maples Care Home.
Maples is a modern, purpose-built residential care home in a pleasant area of Bexleyheath. With its landscaped private garden and thoughtfully designed spaces, the home offers the facilities of a contemporary care setting while retaining a warm, homely feel.
Nursing and care staff are available 24/7, providing long-term nursing care and specialist support for people living with complex dementia. The dementia unit is designed to promote independence, reduce anxiety, and enhance quality of life. Through our key worker system, every resident has a familiar, friendly face looking out for them.
The home features 75 spacious, comfortably furnished en-suite bedrooms, along with communal areas that offer cosy spaces for quiet relaxation and larger lounges for daily activities. Visitors are welcome at any time, and there is no minimum age for residents as long as we can meet their care needs.
Life at Maples is engaging and fulfilling. Our wellbeing managers run a varied programme of creative, musical, and fitness activities, as well as regular outings. A dedicated on-site hair and beauty salon provides relaxing ‘me time,’ and our menus are nutritious, varied, and designed to support a true home-from-home environment.
Residents’ views are central to the way we run the home, ensuring Maples remains a supportive, comfortable, and person-centred place to live.

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
We have an active social life in our home with plenty of opportunities to make new friends and participate in a variety of interesting activities and day trips. This is important because an active life can help to keep you more alert, mobile and happier, with better health and wellbeing overall. Our activities co-ordinators create a monthly programme of activities ranging from entertainments such as visiting singers and film matinees, to painting and crafts, baking, gardening, quizzes and yoga. If your preferred hobby isn’t on the list, we can help you to continue with it. Even if you find moving about difficult, it is still important to get as much exercise as possible, so we also organise gentle exercise sessions, to help keep you mobile. Family and friends are welcome to join in with activities, and we also organise special events (like our annual summer fête, for example) to which we invite your family, friends and local community groups. If you like to get out and about, we can arrange for someone to go shopping with you and the activities team also arranges group trips and meals out. Or it might be that you simply want to read, watch TV or listen to the radio in the quiet of your own room. Or someone to sit with you and read the paper, talk about things that are important to you, or help you keep in touch with your loved ones via post, email or Skype. |
