Care Home Owned by Connaught Care Group in Hertfordshire

here is lovely and everybody seems happy and so do the residents. It's lovely and warm for the residents, which is so important and it smells pleasant and not of urine. My father in law wasn't happy with his chair in his bedroom, had a chat to one of the managers and she sorted out for him. The bedroom he has is a nice size and luxurious, with a fantastic en-suite. We love the private family and friends rooms too. We can't fault Meadowbrook. When we are old we want to move in there.

went into care as he would have felt very comfortable here. Unfortunately having dementia he's unable to enjoy everything that Meadowbrook have on offer. Nowadays we are more interested in dad being comfortable, we'll fed and a high level of care and attention. We can't fault meadowbrook in any way. They tick all of the boxes. Since moving here his personal care has shown significant improvement. He is eating much better. And in himself he seems much happier.
We are so pleased to have chosen to make the move to Meadowbrook its not easy making the decision to move someone with this level of dementia but it was a worthwhile decision. Thank you to everyone at Meadowbrook.

profession, and met with Yvonne and I have not looked back since. Yvonne has been there every step of the way since April when the journey began, her advice and support has been second to none. It is due to her warmth and caring and genuine attitude that without doubt made my decision so easy. Laura the Manager came to my brothers home to do the assessment and again was absolutely lovely. The care team are all lovely and engaging. The home is beautiful, fresh, clean and new, lovely furnishings, food is very good, love the bar/bistro area even has a gin & cocktail menu!! A calm, relaxed atmosphere. I initially booked respite and we are integrating into permanent care.

are also well-equipped bathrooms available for those that might need them. Breakfast and lunches are very good indeed and lunches offer different menu choices each day. Supper is early and has a more limited menu choice with a degree of repetition. An activities programme is published each week, which contains a variety of interesting choices for residents.

because we were more confident they could meet his needs. Dad settled in very quickly because of the personalised, warm and experienced care provided. Over the next few months, the staff took Dad to their hearts and Meadowbrook was a delightful environment in which to visit him. It was difficult to take Dad out, and so eating with him in the Bistro created important memories. The food is excellent! Sadly, Dad passed away two weeks ago. The whole team leaned in to care for him and us and - with excellent co-ordination with the GP and district nurses - we worked together to ensure that Dad had a 'good death'. We genuinely felt part of a caring family. And will always be thankful.

the aggressive outbursts, we'd experienced before. The care plan was exceptional and focused on physical, mental and social health, they did everything they could to ensure his overall wellness. The team made our whole family welcome, they showed kindness and care throughout our time with them and no more so in the last few days of Dad's life. They surrounded us all with love and support and made just being with him in those last few days, relaxed and comfortable. Carers came to spend their breaks with Dad, to talk to him and reassure him. They all spoke in such kind terms, they had really taken Dad to the hearts. Their end of life care was exceptional, we couldn't have hoped for more.

of giving her the option of receiving visitors, or not, if it was a 'bad' day for her. Unable to complete all boxes as our visit was fairly brief although overall impression that accommodation was of a high standard and staff very professional.

an update on how he has been and what he has been up too !!
Thank you ALL so so much for caring for the resident during his short stay, they were certainly a wonderful 4 weeks for him.

settled well and is happy.

is certainly the home I would choose.

appears (what I've experienced) good with a good choice. All staff have been friendly, helpful & nothing is too much trouble. Overall I'm glad I picked Meadowbrook.

and could have not had drink or food all day. I know it's difficult as there are other residents but a bit more observation would greatly help.
Staff should encourage residents to get involved and participate in all of the facilities and organised events so the residents settle and enjoy the home easier.

entertainment. I love to see the 'Works of Art' on display too that have been created by the residents. It was a difficult decision to move mum to a care home but after the move to Meadowbrook, I wish she had moved here sooner!

absolutely amazing. The entire staff - from the management to the caring staff and the reception team - have been wonderful - professional, friendly, welcoming, sensitive and caring. The home itself is wonderful with very stylish, comfortable rooms and great bathrooms. The communal areas are fabulous with a lovely cafe, dining room, lounge, cinema room, private dining room, children's area, craft room and probably more places that I haven't yet discovered! My mum has already (in less than a week) visited the hair salon and had her nails done and seen the in-house PT several times to help with her mobility. This is a special place with staff who really care. I couldn't recommend it more.

with lots of things going on for the residents and their families. It is sad my mother is too poorly to join in and appreciate what there is available to pass the time.
I would definitely recommend this home.
