I have been visiting my friend (now aged 85) for the past 10 years about every 2 months. Her health has gradually deteriorated and now she is totally dependent. I am so impressed with the care she has received. The staff are always kind, knowledgable and attentive. She is spoken to as they pass, given drinks of water, her garments adjusted. She is bathed, and comfortable. The staff welcome visitors, and were helpful during COVID. The place always smells fresh and aired.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It means a great deal to know that your friend has felt safe, respected, and well cared for throughout her time with us-especially as her needs have changed.

We're proud of our dedicated team, and your words about their kindness and attentiveness are deeply appreciated. We're also pleased that you've felt welcomed and supported as a visitor, including during the challenges of the COVID period. Thank you again for your continued trust-it's a privilege to care for your friend.
My husband was admitted for a D2A assessment prior to seeking full-time care. He was extremely well looked after and the care he received was of the highest standard. All advice from the physio and OT was carefully followed. I cannot rate The Mead more highly.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words. We're delighted to hear that your husband received such excellent care during his D2A assessment. It's wonderful to know that the team's efforts, including the guidance from the Physio and OT, had such a positive impact. We truly appreciate your feedback and will make sure to share this with the team.
We had a very warm welcome when visiting and again when my husband went in for respite care. He was well looked after and was kept clean. I would definitely take him there again for the next respite.

My mum had a few weeks stay at The Mead as a temp placement. The staff I must say were caring and with a can-do attitude. From working in the care sector for a few years I found The Mead to be fully staffed with a happy feel to it every day. They had a fantastic team from medication to escorts for appointments and most care homes charge for an escort for the day. My review of The Mead is a positive one and I am very thankful of the whole team as is the family.

I would just like to say that the care my mother gets at The Mead Care Home Borehamwood is exceptional she has been there for just over a year and the staff are very efficient and caring. I would recommend the Mead to anyone who needs care for a family member. They have a variety of things to do but my mother does not participate which is a shame. The food is cooked fresh and is very good.
Thank you for your comment. The team at The Mead are delighted to have your mother stay with us. Wishing you a great day!

To say that I am happy is an understatement. I have nothing but high praise for all associated with this daycare centre. I have no doubt that she will be well looked after as a resident.
Thank you for your comment. The team at The Mead are always delighted to welcome you and your wife at our daycare centre. Wishing you a wonderful day!
Friendly staff and helpful. The decor is slightly dated/tired, but very good all in all.

The home is clean and the food is good. Mum received good care from all the staff who are very friendly. We got regular updates and we are informed of anything that happens at the home. We have no complaints overall.

I personally can't find faults and it is a pleasure to visit.
Thank you for your comment. We are delighted to have your cousin stay with us here at The Mead. Wishing you a wonderful day!
My only problem is the cost, everything else is good and knowing he is safe is a huge bonus to me and the family.

We understand that the costs of providing care may be higher than we would like, however, as a not-for-profit organisation we invest all of our profit back into maintaining and upgrading our homes. If you would like to discuss this further, come in and meet with us. Have a lovely day!

We made the difficult decision last year to put my lovely Mum into a care home having kept her at home as long as we could. The Mead have made that move far easier than it could have been. Mum has dementia and has been there for almost a year. We have got to know the staff over that time. The senior staff are always happy to chat. They act on any concerns my sisters and I have. They have become our extended family. The rest of the staff are brilliant too. Mum's key worker and the other members of staff have gained mums trust. We visit a lot and I have only ever seen patience, care and understanding from everyone. It's a tough job. I leave knowing my Mum is safe and cared for.
Mum went into the Mead 11 months ago after an agonising family decision. She was no longer safe at home and we could no longer give her the care she needed. She has dementia and Alzheimers. The and her staff team are amazing. Mum is settled and well cared for. Staff are always welcoming when we...
Mum went into the Mead 11 months ago after an agonising family decision. She was no longer safe at home and we could no longer give her the care she needed. She has dementia and Alzheimers. The and her staff team are amazing. Mum is settled and well cared for. Staff are always welcoming when we visit. Mum has a pleasant room and the facilities are good. Staff are dedicated and caring and leadership is strong. Communication is good, emails and phone calls are always responded to in a timely manner. My family and I are lucky to have found the right home for Mum.

My approach in life is “Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself”, which is very much applicable in care, as residents deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, kindness and compassion. I started my journey in care at The Mead in 2015 as a carer and progressed to Deputy Manager. I feel honoured for the opportunity to continue providing support to residents, their families and our lovely team.

The Chef Manager organises every aspect of the catering operation and provides a safe, nutritious, quality service to our residents using freshly produced food. With a hands-on role, leading a team, they provide a quality catering service and help create a warm and friendly atmosphere for our residents. Working with our residents they help to create menus to meet their needs and suit their tastes.
I enjoy working and being with the residents and the challenges I find in my role. I like the teamwork aspect of my work with other staff.
