Stambridge Meadows

I found Stambridge Meadows Care Home to be clean and well organised at all levels from management down to the cleaners. Staff were all really helpful and always polite and cheerful to my aunt from the moment I dropped her off for restbite care until I picked her up to take her home 5 weeks later. She there was always activities going on, and my aunt had either residents or staff to talk too all day. The food and drinks were plentiful and of a good standard when ever I was there. To go out on trips on a minibus was really enjoyed as was sitting in the garden in the countryside.

From the moment Dad arrived at the home they made him so welcome and catered for all his needs. They even made sure we were ok too. All lovely caring staff cannot recommend enough.

I feel so lucky to have got Dad into Stambridge Meadows, the care and attention he has received has been 5 star. His health and mood have improved so much and it is down to the care he has received. The staff are caring and kind and go above and beyond, making sure dad has his tea as he likes it lots sugar and very strong, these are the little things that make it feel like home. There are always activities going on, and everything is spotlessly clean, everyone is made to feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Dad is more like his old self and it is lovely to sit and chat with him now. We are so relieved and happy as a family to have got dad in here.

My mum entered the Stambridge Meadows Care Home 6 weeks ago. During that time the staff have shown nothing but kindness to her and been endlessly patient with her. Mum's only complaint is the food, which she thinks could be improved, especially breakfast. Whenever I visit her I am made to feel welcome. It was difficult to place mum in a care home, but I feel this one is the right choice for her. The staff are all excellent.

My wife has been a resident in this home since February of this year, over this period the care home has been subjected to rigoroius scrutany and has undergone many changes. The changes can be seen throughout, not only the building fabric but in the staffing and management of both. Its has been my observation that throughout these change the care and attention given to the residences has been unwavering, despite the day to day difficulties of dealing with change. I have found that the increase in activities has been particularly beneficial to my wife and no doubt also to the other residents. The criteria set by the present management is admirable and seemingly their efforts are bearing fruit. I add my thanks to those of others for the care and attention given so generously by all the staff.

Our beloved Auntie Pam reached a time in her life when it was no longer safe or sensible for to stay in her own home due to her deteriorating health, both physical & mental. She moved into Stambridge Meadows in July 2024 and lived there until she passed away in October this year. Whilst these were not the happiest months of her life, the team at Stambridge made a very difficult time as good as it could possibly be, showing kindness, consideration, respect and genuine care. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you.

Mum was in Stambridge Meadows for about three years and we can't praise it highly enough. We lost mum recently and she couldn't have been cared for the better in her last years. Many many thanks

Excellent care.

I am very pleased with the care my mum receives from the staff and manager, all of whom maintain a friendly, welcoming, and professional approach. I have found them very accommodating regarding my mum's needs and welfare. The home has a nice comfortable vibe and is clean and tidy. The food always looks and smells really nice, and mealtimes are treated as a really pleasant social gathering in the restaurant-style dining room. There are two dedicated activity coordinators, who organise various different activities each week, which take place either in the main lounge or the smaller activities room. There are armchairs dotted about in lots of little areas to sit and have a chat or just admire the countryside views. My mum's room is comfortable and serves as a quiet retreat for her if she wants. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that my mum is in safe hands, but most importantly my mum is happy.

What a lovely place, run by an excellent team. I can see they work hard at making the residents, my mum included, feel very well looked after and relaxed. It's got a very nice atmosphere and I feel totally comfortable with my mum living here.

My brother and I cannot praise this care home highly enough. The care, kindness and attention paid to our mother was second to none as was the support they gave us throughout her stay and passing. We cannot thank all the staff enough.

Stambridge Meadows has really gone downhill since it was taken over. The management and staff are still as excellent as ever but there is not enough of them. The activities for residents are virtually non-existent, no minibus now. You pride yourself on the beautiful grounds and residents are shut indoors due to lack of staff. There are no family areas now to sit with our relatives. The home, in my opinion, is now just a money-making business, such a shame.

Very helpful and polite, always got time for residents and family, nothing is too much trouble and always put Dad's needs first, such a lovely location, plenty of garden, so peaceful and chilled.

My husband was in Stambridge Meadows for two weeks and he was very happy. The staff and management were absolutely brilliant. Thank you to the manager and staff for all their help and support. Also thank you to all staff members.

Thank you to the team.

Treat my mother in law with dignity kindness and respect. They painted her nails and got her ready for a wedding recently, what more can you ask for. We feel, she is well cared for and that both her and our wishes are taken into account. They're welcoming to the private physio we use and provide access to chiropody and other health care professionals.

Care home that doesn’t care, Avoid! Can’t list the whole catalogue of errors due to the word limit. The ‘care’ they provided to Mum was appalling. She went in physically fit and strong and within 2 weeks in the home had declined beyond recognition. They told me they didn’t have the resources to meet needs. They couldn’t even get her name on the door right, though asked 3 times. I rang 999 because she had deteriorated so badly and hadn’t even though asked to, I told Senior to expect an ambulance and got abuse. When the ambulance called them for triage she said no cause for concern so the ambulance was cancelled. Within week she died! Lots of agency staff and Mum feared them. I have raised a formal complaint. After her death, the reaction from staff was appalling. They literally turned their backs on us as we went to our dead mother. Never even heard from the Manager, disgusting! When we went to the home she scurried into the office and shut the door. We will never get Mum back. They seem to only want people that can care for themselves.

Dad has been living at Stambridge Meadows for over a year now. He is very well looked after, there are lots of activities on offer, of which he occasionally takes part if he fancies it. The staff are all lovely and care for all his needs. The place has a warm and friendly atmosphere. And most importantly Dad is content.

My family have peace of mind knowing our mum is so well looked after and happy at Stambridge Meadows. All the staff really care and are very friendly. There is a lovely, homely feel which makes the world of difference to Mum, as she has dementia and to feel safe is so important.

We as a family can not thank all the staff enough for their hard work and dedication.
