Stambridge Meadows

Generally, I love the place, and Mum is happy, so it's a win-win for me.

My Brother and I have no worries or concerns for the care of our mother.

I am happy she is being looked after.

My Sister and I chose this care home for our Mother after seeing the excellent reviews on here and visiting the care home. Our Mother was 'cared for' for 8 months and the experience left a lot to be desired. On several occasions, we considered moving Mother to another care home but she was very weak and had become comfortable with her surroundings. The care staff at Stambridge Meadows are working under very difficult circumstances, they appear to be thin on the ground, understaffed, and stretched to the limit. A couple of staff members are outstanding, competent, personable, caring and were a pleasure to meet. There was little or no evidence of activities for the residents, we visited often when allowed. The office staff and management leave a lot to be desired. Our Mother passed away in August 2022, and we have had no contact from the Care Home Manager offering her condolences. Think carefully before you choose this care home. It's expensive and badly managed.

Our mother passed away last month after being a resident for over a year at Stambridge Meadows. The family would like to acknowledge the skill, kindness and dedication of the staff and management of Stambridge Meadows who won her confidence very soon after her arrival at the home. When it was impossible to visit due to COVID, we telephoned every day and was always greeted with patience and a kind word. The home is clean and the grounds beautiful. A home, however, is nothing without professional caring people running it, and in our opinion, Stambridge Meadows has definitely got those people. The family would once again like to say thank you to everybody at Stambridge Meadows for taking such good care of our mother.

I feel reassured that my mum is happy and well cared for. Senior carers are always so helpful and give informed updates, particularly when we couldn't visit. I have given facilities satisfactory as I haven't seen them due to Covid restrictions.

Experience has been very helpful. The staff have a duty of care for their residents, and this has been evident on every visit. The home has provided a safe and comfortable room during Covid visits, which have been very appreciated.

The staff are friendly, extremely professional and caring. Though having to do a difficult job, they always have time for questions. The residents seem content, happy and very well cared for. The location and grounds are beautiful.

My mother is very happy at Stambridge Meadows. The staff are very kind and treat my mother like a family member. the home is warm, friendly and inviting, and my mother would hate to leave Stambridge Meadows; she is so settled here! She loves all the male staff skittle more than the female staff! They have good fun with her! We are very happy she is in such a caring environment!

Due to Covid restrictions, I have not been able to enter the home since February 2020 and had just one outside socially distance meet with my relative during the summer. It is therefore difficult to provide responses based on recent experience. The carers and management have always been very caring and helpful in what can obviously be a difficult job, and it appears from the recent updates received as well as the newsletter, a welcome addition, especially in the difficult times, that they have been arranging some interesting activities to keep the residents occupied.

I'm extremely grateful and happy with the care my husband receives. The care personnel are always caring towards me also.

My mum has been at Stambridge Meadows for a year now. She has dementia but has settled in so well due to the professional and loving care of all the staff there. I cannot praise them enough; they are very kind and patient, have always kept me fully formed throughout a very difficult year for both staff and residents.

The staff are smiling and welcoming. We are happy that my dad is receiving good compassionate care.

Even after his passing they welcomed me with open arms and shared my pain, for that, I thank them dearly. Today I received some photos that were left behind in his room, they took the time to send them to me because they care. Thank you.

I am very happy with the care my mum receives. She looks well and cared for and likes everybody. Staff are absolutely lovely to her and very happy.

Carers are very nice to me, they clean, and dress me. I have nice dinners and lots of cups of tea with biscuits.

The only downside is the cost.

Sadly my mum didn't have her next review as she sadly died on 11th February 2018. I would recommend this home to anyone, everybody is lovely. My mum was well looked after and was happy there. Me and my husband always felt welcomed.

I am so glad my mum went to this home, what a lovely, I have never had any concerns at all.

The resident really enjoys staying here. She suffered from short-term memory loss and dementia. She is very happy with the home and gets on well with the staff.

Our private room is clean as are the toilet and wash area and the room is bright and airy. Overall a very nice place to be in. The staff are very caring. We've been visiting for two years plus and always look forward to our visits.
