The care home on appearance looks good, some staff are very good and caring but on the whole many do not show any care or compassion. The turnover of staff lately has been unbelievable, food standards have deteriorated and a gold wedding ring went missing when my friend could not even leave the...
The care home on appearance looks good, some staff are very good and caring but on the whole many do not show any care or compassion. The turnover of staff lately has been unbelievable, food standards have deteriorated and a gold wedding ring went missing when my friend could not even leave the room. Had to ask a member of staff to clean her and her hands as she smelt awful. Manager!
It's such a shame and disappointing that you did not express your views about the home whilst your friend was being cared for by the team, as we promote...

Our mother moved into Generals Meadow in 2012, just before her 90th birthday, together with our father, who passed away in 2017. During her long period of residence there, including a change of ownership in 2018, she has always received excellent care. The staff have endless patience and...
Our mother moved into Generals Meadow in 2012, just before her 90th birthday, together with our father, who passed away in 2017. During her long period of residence there, including a change of ownership in 2018, she has always received excellent care. The staff have endless patience and compassion, and we feel very fortunate that our mother is such good hands, especially in the current circumstances.
My 97-year-old father has been a resident at Generals Meadow for just over 3 years. He has a bright and airy room with views of the church from one window and the beautiful gardens from the other.

My 97-year-old father has been a resident at Generals Meadow for just over 3 years. He has a bright and airy room with views of the church from one window and the beautiful gardens from the other. The staff are friendly, kind, caring and considerate and the home is very well-led. I am always made to feel very welcome when I visit Dad. The home is beautifully decorated and has a happy vibe. I feel very lucky that at the time of searching I was able to secure a place for Dad here. I have peace of mind knowing that Dad is well looked after and would highly recommend Generals Meadow.
Our Mother was finding it difficult to live on her own but was adamant she did not want to go into a care home. After a lot of persuasion, she agreed to go for 2 weeks respite. After the 2 weeks were up she was offered another week stay which she took. In those three weeks, her attitude had changed...
We would definitely recommend Generals Meadow.

My mother was in Generals Meadow for 11 years and was very happy there. In the past, there were a number of deficits - cleanliness of bathroom, carpets and curtains. However, now under new management, these issues are being addressed. Sadly not for my mother, who passed away in October. The care she received in the closing months of her life was excellent. The staff did everything to make her as comfortable as possible.
Thank you for the review and commenting on the excellent end of life care your mother received. You are correct in your observations that we have needed to invest a lot of time, money and thought into the refurbishment of the property since we took over the ownership 12 months ago. We have made...
Thank you for the review and commenting on the excellent end of life care your mother received. You are correct in your observations that we have needed to invest a lot of time, money and thought into the refurbishment of the property since we took over the ownership 12 months ago. We have made good progress, prioritising the areas of improvement which included fire prevention and detection measures, staff training, decoration and refurbishment of the indoor and outdoor spaces. Half of the bedrooms have been completely refurbished, repainted with new carpets, curtains, new oak furniture, bedding and also the addition of shower en-suite bathrooms. It was a shame that we were not able to refurbish your mother's room during her time with us (now completed), however, her poor health took priority and as you have already mentioned, we provided excellent end of life care, respecting your wishes as a family whilst respecting your mother's dignity. Thank you for the staff Christmas gifts.
The new owners, who are both approachable and very knowledgeable, have embarked on an extensive and impressive programme of improvements. These are being...
The home is spotlessly clean and it is to the whole team’s credit that it is easy to forget you are visiting a care home. Mum speaks very highly of her lovely meals which the residents enjoy together in the very beautiful dining room.

I have been visiting my father daily since mid-September. On every single visit, the staff have been unfailingly welcoming to me and kind and attentive to my father. They have taken trouble over his diet, hearing aid, tv. The residents have a steady varied programme of activities and all of them seem content. Those I have asked have all said they were very happy with the home indeed. The general atmosphere is upbeat, cheerful and positive. A very friendly place.
All the other residents love it when your father bursts into a song during the activity sessions, which he clearly enjoys entertaining others!
My father has been in Generals Meadow for one year. He always said he would never go to a care home and was fiercely independent. An unexpected stroke left him with no choice. The care given to him has been second to none and he has made remarkable progress since admission. The staff treat all...
My father has been in Generals Meadow for one year. He always said he would never go to a care home and was fiercely independent. An unexpected stroke left him with no choice. The care given to him has been second to none and he has made remarkable progress since admission. The staff treat all residents with dignity and respect, they are consulted on all aspects of their care and regularly monitored for well being. There is a varied and stimulating range of activities to suit all tastes which are carefully designed to engage residents and provide them with social interaction. Staff help them if they need it as and when they ask for it. The home itself is in a beautiful setting and a very pleasant place to be. The owners have taken great care to improve and adapt the building to make it safe and secure. At the end of the day though, it's the staff that make it work. They are very caring, cheerful and helpful. This is reflected in the happy residents.
Yes, the last year has seen many improvements to the home which are still ongoing. Coupled with our amazing team of staff we are able to provide the...
