Generals Meadow

I am over 80, still healthy and active but partially sighted. Without family and living alone I was beginning to need some help and support. I needed a new chapter in my life. I looked at a number of options. Generals Meador seemed the answer. It was and it is. I have lived here now for 3 months. I have a very comfortable room with ensuite and some of my own furnishings. The management style is professional and relaxed. The staff keep this unique house sparkling clean and ensure all of the residents are well cared for in body and mind. The kitchen staff provide nourishing, well-presented meals that cater for all dietary needs. Entertainment and activities change daily and there are trips out. The very large garden is a joy and can be enjoyed by everyone including those seeking a place for quiet reflection. Friends, families and dogs are always welcome. Generals Meadow is certainly worth the cost for living in the place I call home.

Both Mum and I already know.how lucky she is to be here but this was re enforced recently by a visit to a friend in another larger home, part of a corporate group which had no heart and soul.

This move has been not only important for him but also very reassuring for me, as I feel confident that he is no longer alone and is being exceptionally well cared for by the manager and the wonderful team of staff.

We absolutely love this care home for so many reason and the staff they are incredible and the home is so clean tidy always happy to chat when we visit makes us feel very welcome my auntie loves it and always tells people she lives in the best care home ever

My mum has now been living at Generals Meadow for over a year. I knew that it would be a difficult move for a highly independent 96 year old lady; however I cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness, compassion, and understanding of my mum's needs. The staff are always professional and friendly and communication is excellent. The home provides a beautiful environment and is impeccably clean and comfortable. It is reassuring to know that my mum is safe and treated with respect. Thank you.

After Mum living alone for many years, up to the age of 90, it is a huge relief to all her family and friends to know that she is safe and well, day and night, in such a warm friendly home.

My mother has been a resident at Generals Meadow for two months now. I have been very impressed with the care she receives. The home is very attractive and spotlessly clean. The food is varied, appetising and of a very high quality. The carers are all very kind. I was particularly impressed with the efforts put in by all of the staff to make Christmas special for the residents.

My mother passed away after over 6 years in Generals Meadow. Throughout the whole term the staff were extremely attentive, caring, very sensitive to her needs - especially in the last months - and always good humoured and courteous. The home is well maintained, comfortable, warm and attractively presented.

My father in law recently moved into Generals Meadow. Everyone has been very welcoming and the care is excellent. The change in his health and well-being is remarkable, since moving in he has become more mobile, he is eating well and is more chatty. His room in this beautiful building is always warm, clean and very comfortable, it is a pleasure for family and friends to visit him in his new surroundings.

My Father has only recently become a resident at Generals Meadow, but has settled in well. The Owners and their team went out of their way to make the whole process of going into the home so much easier for Dad, also for us as a family. From then on, the whole team have demonstrated such genuine care and kindness for Dad and have also been so efficient to sort any problems from diet, hearing aids, to medications. We've seen such an improvement with Dad in the short time he has been there and the effort by all is so, so much appreciated.

My mother was in Generals Meadow for 2 years and her care was exemplary in every way you could wish for. It felt like having an 'extended family' for her and my brother and I. The end of life care they were able to give to her, and indeed their support to us, was a great comfort. I think we were lucky to have been able to secure a place for her there.

The staff and building make this such a nice place for Mum to stay - I always feel reassured she is receiving the best care possible. She always seems happy and contented and our family can feel relaxed in the knowledge she is being very well looked after. The building and gardens make for such a lovely place for Mum.

All the staff are welcoming and have a clear understanding of my mothers wants and needs.

The management and staff are professional, friendly, caring and always available. I have absolute confidence in the quality of care and encouragement of residents to continue to be as independent as possible.

Mum is very happy here.

Finally, her end-of-life care was compassionately handled with complete professionalism for which the family are truly grateful.

My mother is now not able to go out on the small trips we used to do, so is very reliant on support from staff to help her to feel cared for.

Have to say staff have always been friendly, they are very good with the residents. My aunt is in secure hands there. I myself join in with some of the activities they do. Always been made to feel welcome and couldn't really wish for anything better.

Generals Meadow is a lovely care home where the carers and staff are always very kind and caring and nothing is too much trouble. Mum has been at Generals Meadow now for nearly two years and in her own words she says it is ‘superb’. She told me ‘you cannot fault the care in any way’, so I think that says it all.

My mother has been at Generals Meadow for over 4 years and has always received and continues to receive the finest of attention. The staff are really professional and show great care for their residents.
