My wife has been at Mid Meadows for 12 -13 weeks. The care home is first class. The care has been brilliant, and the food she has had is very good. The people who work at Mid Meadows have picked me up at home and took me home. Thanks for this.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When visiting our daughter we have always found all the staff are pleasant and very helpful. The standard of hygiene and care are excellent. The food she receives is always very varied and of high quality. Because of the high quality and care that my daughter receives here we feel happy to leave her
here.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.972) out of 10 for Mid Meadows is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.688 for Mid Meadows is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.688
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.284 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mid Meadows is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.4 = 0.909
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Beverley Douglas

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2010

Beverley began her career as a carer when she was just 19-years-old. From a care worker, Bev made her way to the Senior Carer role before training to be a Deputy Manager and then a registered home manager.


One of Bev's favourite memories of care is granting a resident's final wish by arranging a special visit to Colchester Zoo to allow the resident to achieve their dream of feeding a tiger.


Bev believes what makes Mid Meadows special is the staff's ability to personalise activities to our resident's individually, ensuring regardless of mobility, everyone is catered to with the person-centred approach.
