Its a happy home, only thing sometimes is lack of communication about brother feed back of how he is update of appointments and meetings, of his future etc. Needs to be encouraged to do more get out more trips, and someone to talk to, he gets lovely but a great care home overall.

Overall Experience
I cannot recommend Mid-Meadows highly enough. My sister has been a resident since 2022. Her age was 55 then.
The whole community is fabulous. She does so much more than she did when she lived with our parents.
From the amazing staff member who organises entertainment and activities to the fabulous care staff and catering staff, it really is 10 out of 10.

She has a really lovely friendship group with other residents that has made such a difference.

Review from Amy M (Respite Resident) published on 8 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I think the home is very good because the staff look after us all also they are friendly and kind. They are good at their jobs. I think one member of staff is very good with personality, and he’s very good at looking after people in the house. Another member of staff is very good; she takes good care of everyone in the house. I am certified for the jobs that they’re doing, and I think it’s amazing how they do it, and I like each and every one of them.

My brother was a resident at Mid Meadows until September 2019.
The care he received at Mid Meadows was absolutely outstanding, and the staff are incredible.

He really loved living at Midmeadows, and I cannot recommend the home highly enough.

Review from David R (Uncle of Resident) published on 11 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My partner and I had a nephew as one of your clients and I am glad to send a glowing review of the care and friendship he received during his time there. Unfortunately, he has passed away recently and your staff invited everyone at the funeral back to the home where they had laid on food and drink (non-alcoholic lol) and karaoke, which was a favourite of our nephew. The whole staff and your other clients were amazing and they made everyone welcome and were so friendly, they were just like family members. During our nephew's time there, your staff made him extremely happy and comfortable and he enjoyed every minute of his time there and I would have no hesitation in recommending Mid Meadows at Frinton as an outstanding care home. Please send our congratulations on the outstanding job they are doing for all the clients.

Review from Patricia S (Mother of Resident) published on 10 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son was a resident of Mid Meadows for eleven years. He was very happy and the care he received was of the highest standard. When he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, all the staff went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and happy. At Mid Meadows, the staff and residents became my sons extended family. He loved them all and they all loved him. We as a family are eternally grateful for the excellent care he received.

Overall Experience

My son had been a resident at Mid Meadows for nine years. He was receiving excellent end of life care in the palce that he thought of as home. He was supported by carers that he trusted and died peacefully. I was kept fully informed of the situation. As I life in Hampshire the manager was particularly helpful in collecting death certificates and assisting with local funeral arrangements.

Mid Meadows has a lovely atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful. All the residents appear to be happy and well entertained.

The staff I have encountered so far seem to know my cousin very well and try very hard to make her wishes come true. Their care is genuine.

Thank you all at Mid Meadows.
