Meadowbank Care Home

I have a very high opinion of Meadowbank care home and a very high opinion of the staff. The staff are welcoming and friendly. I experienced them as being extremely kind, caring and attentive towards the residents. I experienced them as being careful, professional and appropriate towards the residents. I also experienced them as being very pleasant and kind and gentle and caring in their manner and way of working with the residents. I also see them as genuinely wanting to give the residents a very good time and an enjoyable experience and wanting to give the residents a variety and pleasure and joy while living at Meadowbank. I have an extremely high opinion of the care home and the staff working there. My best wishes to all the staff and all the residents and Meadowbank.

The staff are wonderful and have helped me and been a great comfort to me since I came here to live and are very friendly.

I find the staff very helpful and enjoy the activities. I like my bedroom as it overlooks the gardens.

My mother has been in Meadowbank for seven years and throughout that time I have been consistently impressed with the individualism standards of care. She is always treated with respect although at times she does not treat the staff that way.

We came here on April 12th 2018 and were made very welcome. We were originally upstairs but as vacancies occurred, we were moved downstairs into adjoining rooms which we appreciate very much, using one room more like a sitting room with relaxing chairs and TV but sleeping separately. We are very comfortable and settled.

We have been residents since April 2018, were made welcome and the fact that we are experienced nurses was acknowledged. We have always experienced courtesy and understanding and our accommodation is kept tidy and clean. In my previous experience, I inspected nursing homes and find Meadowbank to be excellent and would not be happy to be obliged to find alternative accommodation. The staff are cheerful and considerate.

Because Meadowbank has a smaller number of residents, it feels much more homely rather than a "care home". The staff have kept the family updated regularly with any problems and they have also made the family very welcome whenever we visit, they make a lovely cup of tea.

Having had no experience of residential care homes I am happy to say that I was very happy to see my aunt settled and content in her new home. The staff are friendly and open and treated the residents with respect and dignity. There is an atmosphere of homeliness and warmth. I feel that my aunt is well cared for and safe.

I placed my Aunt here in January 2018. We had previously tried two other homes near to her hometown in Yorkshire so we were able to benchmark the quality of care she had previously received and their respective environments. This care home has exceeded our expectations by far. The environment is a calm and pleasant one and the staff are wonderful, patient and caring.

I cannot praise enough the care given to my mother since her arrival 5 months ago. Since then she has had a spell in hospital and her general health deteriorated. On her return, the staff have been so caring, ensuring that she was as comfortable as possible. Nothing has been too much trouble. She is very content and is happy in her new home.

My mother moved to Meadowbank following a poor experience at a different care home. She has been warmly welcomed as part of the "Meadowbank family" and receives a high level of care, support and attention. Her changing needs are recognised and understood and her comments are taken on board by the team. She is happy and well cared for. There is a lovely, homely atmosphere at Meadowbank and it is refreshing to see how much patience and carers show my mother. Thank you.

This is a small and very homely home. Residents always seem respected and well attended. They are encouraged to take part in activities and families are made to feel welcome on ordinary visits and the special events. They are also encouraged to attend regular meetings to have input into the care provided and how it is delivered. My mother-in-law has been there for three years and the staff have always been attentive and friendly and put themselves out to help. It is not the poshest looking of homes but it has a real welcome there.

I miss my mum greatly but I also miss the lovely people that she shared this time with. Thank you.

My mother has been a resident since February 2017. She has settled in very quickly due to the friendly loving and caring staff. I am so happy to finally see my mum happy and contented where she is. Any problems health wise with mum are quickly seen to and I am kept informed at all times.

When we visit mum, we are made to feel welcome and part of this growing family that is in the care home. The staff are a joy to be around and take good care of everyone.
