Meadowside

It has been 6 months now and dad is content in the surroundings, eats all his meals, is well and the care staff have now become a very welcome addition to his family.

Following a stroke, my 94-year-old father was unable to cope at home. We viewed and liked Meadowside, and after 4 years, are absolutely delighted with the care he has received.

We were incredibly lucky to find Meadowside.

Communication from the managers at Meadowside has been excellent. They have updated me regularly as to how Mum and Dad are getting on and more urgently when necessary. I always feel that I can contact them if I am concerned. Staff greet my siblings and I warmly when we visit, hot drinks and biscuits are always available!

Well-organised and run home, with attentive and friendly staff. The food was decent but only a fairly basic menu.

I have been living at Meadowside for 2.5 years now and I am very content with my experience here. My room is private and comfortable, not very big but I have a good-sized bed and adequate furniture. I have a shower room and toilet for my own use, attached to my room which is a great benefit. The members of staff are always friendly, patient and cheerful at all times. I enjoy the friendly gatherings with other residents in the sitting room and when possible in the garden. My family and friends are able to visit me frequently and at times take me out for a change.

I have been a resident of this care home since August 2022. I have found that the care that I continue to receive remains consistent, any problems that I have are dealt with promptly and efficiently. This is the case with both management and staff who are all trained to a high degree. We have a visiting dentist, optician, chiropodist, hairdresser and pilates practitioner, plus a medical advisor. We also have visiting musicians!

Meadowside and all the staff have gone above and beyond to help my mum settle into the home, they have listened, comforted, and cuddled. Everyone is so welcoming that you really feel like you are one big family. The food is superb. Extra cups of tea are no problem. I honestly feel like it is home from home.

Since moving into Meadowside in April, initially for respite care, my relative has been so utterly impressed with the kindness, care, compassion and friendliness of every member of the team, so much so, he decided to make it his permanent home. What more is there to be said other than thank you to each and everyone at Meadowside.

The staff have all been very friendly and professional toward Mum and helping her settle. The home is 'homely' and comfortable, small and every resident is treated as an individual and their needs catered for. It also feels like a safe environment and a happy place to live.

I arrived at Meadowside two years ago during the first COVID lockdown. I immediately felt very much at home. I settled in quickly. I love my room. They built a garden room so that we could have visitors even during the strict lockdown. I'm enjoying having visitors in my room now and getting out and about. The staff are very special, always going out of their way to be helpful and supportive.

Meadowside is a small residential home run by a very caring, knowledgeable and professional manager/owner, well supported by her team. My mother moved from a larger home, one of a chain, to be nearer to me and my family. When I was looking for a local care home I was immediately impressed by the manager and noted her comment that her aim was to provide a home for the resident, rather than just somewhere for them to live out their remaining years. This aim has been more than adequately met and my mother frequently comments that she could not imagine being better looked after. Restrictions due to the pandemic have always been applied with the best interests and safety of the residents to the fore. Visitors are made very welcome and the value to residents of these visits and external visits are fully recognised. I can thoroughly recommend Meadowside to anyone seeking a caring community in which the needs of their loved one are recognised and catered for.

A happy place, and good attention to everyone.

I am a temporary resident and I feel safe and happy here. I love the help and encouragement I get to get on with my life's work (an artist and a Christian) and to be independent. I broke my leg and I am being given every encouragement to get back to normal life. I rate this place highly, the staff are kind and it has a nice ambience, talking with the residents (12 of us).

My aunty gets extremely good care and Meadowside has a collection of caring and dedicated staff.

Meadowside is a very pleasant caring home where I am confident that my 102-year-old mother is being very well cared for. The staff are, in my opinion, all exceptional and the home has the atmosphere of a happy family home. Visitors are always made welcome with offers of refreshment. We are really happy that we made the decision to move my mother into Meadowside.

Very pleased.

My Mother (91 years) has been a resident of Meadowside for one year since March 2017. She is very well looked after. The carers are attentive, kind and the whole approach of the home is very professional. Before choosing Meadowside I visited two other care homes in Marlow and chose this as the solution for my Mother. It was a good choice. She is settled and contented at Meadowside.

All the resident, family and staff are like one big family.

The carers are little angels. The management are always around to talk to and they make time for residents and family. The care is second to none and so glad my brother lives in Meadowside, he is cared for so much and most of all I don't have to worry.

Excellent home. Mum has gone from strength to strength. We know that she is well cared for and all the staff are lovely and very attentive.

Medicines are given on time and her buzzer is answered immediately.
