Meadow House Residential Home

I thank them all sincerely

At 94 years old Mum had lived in her own home on her own for many years. Following a couple of falls & a hospital stay she decided that she would no longer feel safe at home & that she had gotten used to being looked after. We set about looking for a new home for Mum, we visited dozens of homes but non seemed to be right until we found Meadow House. From the moment we stepped in the door we were welcomed by Alina the Manager & given a tour, luckily a room was available & Mum moved in quickly, she soon settled in finding her preferred chair in her preferred lounge. Mum enjoyed the food & ate better than she had for years, with her medication & personal care managed we were able to relax knowing she was being well looked after. The family visited Mum daily. The home was always calm, spotlessly clean & well staffed. Sadly Mum passed away this year. We cannot praise or thank Alina & her team enough for the care & compassion shown to our Mum & to us, her family, through to the end.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the staff at the nursing home that cared for our mum over the past 17 years. Your kindness, patience, friendship, and dedication meant so much to her and to our family. The love and support you showed throughout her time there gave her comfort, dignity, and a true sense of home. We will always be deeply grateful for the care you gave her.

It was hard as I work a long way from home, in my mums final months she became bed bound and there was little communication but the staff remained permanently positive.

Thank you to Alina and all the staff at the home. Xx

My Mother resided at Meadow House for 3 years. While she was there the staff could not have been more helpful and caring to her and our family. She was very happy while she was there and we were more than happy with the care she was given.

Dad had dementia and at times he was rather difficult concerning eating and drinking. The staff were always on hand with encouragement, making him different things to try and tempt him to eat. Dad felt that all the staff were his personal friends. Caring home, value for money, peace of mind. Very caring professional team at Meadow House.

I wouldnt hesitate in recommending this care home. Thank you so much to the team at Meadow House.

My Dad was looked after really well while he was in their care. The staff put their residents at the foremost of everything they do and nothing is too much trouble. Dad was well supported by all the staff at Meadow House and they were really good at encouraging him to maintain his independence. The atmosphere in the home is one of a happy and caring family and Dad was certainly happier being in their care. Dad had dementia and as it progressed, they supported him brilliantly. They also supported us, the family, too and we can't thank them enough. It was very reassuring knowing that he was getting the best care and attention when we were not around. I cannot thank them enough, without their care and expertise Dad's final years would not have been so good. Thank you Meadow House, you are all brilliant!

It's lovely.

My Mum has been very well looked after here for many years. As her dementia has progressed Meadow House has stepped up at every stage to give her the best possible care that is exactly right for her. It is a very cozy, friendly place, always kept very clean, with all residents washed and dressed appropriately. The manager and the carers are excellent. They understand and adhere to all regulations around safeguarding and patient care. The food is good and appetizing. Every effort is made to make sure that the residents are eating and drinking well. Attention is paid to activities and relatives receive a monthly newsletter giving details. Above all, it is a very happy and caring home. The senior team has all been there a long time with very little staff turnover, which we feel is very positive and indicative that all is well and that they run a 'happy ship'. I definitely recommend this care home.

My mum was very well looked after here in her final weeks. She always looked cared for and comfortable. The staff took time to make sure we were okay when visiting. I would definitely recommend Meadow House to others needing a care home.

I would definitely recommend this residential home.

My grandmother has been a resident for a couple of years after not looking after herself properly at home and following a spell in the hospital where she was diagnosed with Dementia. She was quite frail and had lost weight. She is very elderly. We, my wife and I have visited a number of times and have noticed a great improvement in Nan's condition, and she is doing well. Nan's needs are all being met, and the staff appear caring, friendly and polite when Nan becomes frustrated. We are pleased with the state of the areas we have seen, and the place has a friendly feel. We have always been welcomed and offered refreshments and are given updates on Nan's condition. We feel very pleased with Meadow House Residential Home and the excellent staff, and wish to say thanks.

All I can say is the staff are amazing. Always friendly and helpful and I know my mum is being taken care of which makes me feel relaxed about my mum being in a care home. They always treat my mum with dignity and when Mum can be difficult, they totally understand her condition and do their best to calm her and make her feel relaxed. As for visiting, it is just a case of calling the home and telling them I’ll be there shortly and I’m welcomed at the front door with a smile and taken to see Mum who always looks clean and tidy.

I have found the home to be very caring and helpful in looking after my mother and in keeping me informed. I know she is being well cared for which helps me not have to worry. They take care of all her medical needs and explain things to her when she is confused, which happens often as she has dementia. I have found all the staff to be very pleasant and helpful. She is always kept clean and her clothing also, which is not something she could do for herself when living in her own home.

My mum went to the care home in August 2020 after many spells in the hospital. She wasn't looking after herself at home, she wasn't eating properly although she would say she had, she wasn't washing and would sleep in her armchair at night and refused to go to bed. It was a real worry for us all as she was losing weight and was very confused. The staff at the home have been wonderful, especially as it has been such a difficult time but they are really patient with her, even when she gets difficult. She looks so much better now, she has put on weight and it is so good to know she has someone there to look after her and also for her company, while still being able to go to her own room if she wants some time alone. I don't get to visit my mum very often as I live in Surrey and I am struggling to cope after my husband died, so it is such a relief to know she is being well cared for.

It became apparent in 2021 that my aunt required more care than we could provide. We visited many care homes in the area and were becoming more and more concerned that we would be unable to find one to suit my aunt's needs. We arranged to visit Meadow House Residential Home and, from the moment we walked through the front door, we knew it was the one. The staff were very welcoming, the home was so bright and clean, and the room on offer was exactly what we were looking for. In the short time, my aunt has been there, she has blossomed. The staff, the care, the accommodation, the food and the activities are excellent. We believe that we couldn't have found anywhere better and would have no hesitation in recommending Meadow House Residential Home.

As my mother has been a resident for over ten years now, she has become more reliant on the staff as her physical health has worsened and is having to be moved around using a hoist. This causes Mum to get frustrated at her inability to be more independent. My mother has benefited from the art and craft sessions that a member of staff provides, and the family appreciate that. Mum is more talkative when we take her out on Saturdays and she enjoys the food that is provided, especially the liver and onions. We, as a family, realise that Meadow House Residential Home is the best rest home for her, and our interactions with the staff certainly make us happy and satisfied that Mum is in good hands. Keep doing what you do, there is no need to change as nothing is broken.

I don’t have a negative thing to say.

My relative has been a resident at Meadow House for over 6 years. The care she has received has been exemplary in every way. All the staff at Meadow House have been professional, efficient, and above all, tender and caring. I have not once heard a voice raised in anger or frustration. There is a cheerful, atmosphere, and visitors are warmly welcomed. The home was always warm, and clean, and has an ongoing programme of redecoration and upgrading when necessary. The food was also a source of enjoyment and appreciation. When she was able, she was encouraged to participate in a wide variety of activities, which she loved. Earlier in her residency, she was supported and encouraged in her ventures out with friends and family. She was definitely as happy living at Meadow House as she could have been anywhere, given her age and infirmities. As she became more unwell and frail, she was carefully nursed with love and care until her peaceful departure.
