Generals Meadow

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.
