Meadowcroft

From September 2019, my aunt has resided at Meadowcroft. In that time she has been treated with respect, care and friendliness. She has dementia and as I work with people with dementia, I think I can comment on a professional level that the staff here are wonderful, caring and skilled. I have observed practices at the home when staff were unaware and I can testify that person-centred care is always used. I am deeply impressed. It took me a year to find this home for my aunt and I would recommend it to anyone. The management are also fabulous and so helpful.

My mother has been at Meadowcroft since May 2019. Three weeks ago she fell and broke her hip and went into hospital so her hip could be repaired. In our opinion, she was sent back to Meadowcroft far too soon but the care she had in the last three weeks of her life was full of love and her every need was seen to most lovingly. The comfort we had knowing and seeing this helped enormously at a most distressing time. We were kept informed by phone continually and cannot praise the lovely staff, manager and office enough.

Meadow Croft was an ideal care home for my elderly sister with dementia. The modern, bright building has an attractive garden and was kept scrupulously clean. Above all, it was very well staffed with kind and cheerful ladies. The kindness and sympathy shown to my sister at the end of her life was outstanding.

Meadowcroft is perfect for my father. He is close to family and friends. The home is excellent and there always appears to be plenty of staff on duty. Nothing is too much for them. My father's needs are catered for very well.

I have been very impressed with all aspects of Meadowcroft. Staff going above and beyond their expected duties. Food is tip top and varied. Their understanding and treatment of Dementia residents were great. I have been so impressed with Meadowcroft. I have applied to become a Befriender so that I can hopefully do my bit to help the staff and bring something to the table to help with people in their later stages of life.

Excellent care from start to finish. As a family, we are overwhelmed with the support from each and every member of staff. For end-of-life care, we couldn't have asked for anything more. My nan was looked after with dignity and respect.

Security is brilliant.

Meadowcroft does a good job given what difficult work it is they do. Carers kind and supportive. Have been short staffed at weekends.

Staff caring and do a good job. Always there to have a chat if you have a concern. Sometimes weekends there are not enough staff.

The thoughtfulness and respect that was shown to us both at the end of my father's life will not be forgotten and for that, we are extremely grateful.

My father was admitted to the care home mid-February 2018 direct from hospital. He was weak and quite low. With the care of the home staff and family, within the month, he was back to his old self. Being with other residents at the home, the home activities and the nurturing by staff, he has blossomed for which my family are very grateful. From what I see, my talks with management and staff during this time, I am very happy with the high standards set and achieved.

I feel very well taken care of. The staff are friendly and helpful. The home and my room is kept very clean. I enjoy a good breakfast each morning.

My father has been in this care home for nearly 2 years. During this time he has consistently been given excellent care. He feels the love and care he receives from the staff here goes a long way towards happiness in being here. My father very much enjoys the food and the effort to ensure he has food he likes. The rooms are kept very clean and lovely. As a regular visitor, I too, am grateful for the kindness afforded to my father and me.

The staff are lovely and very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. The home is lovely and clean and laundry is always presented, clean and neatly ironed. The manager has been very helpful, and even though always busy, takes time to speak to relatives about their family member in the home, but also they need to take time out to have lots of laughter along the way.

I certainly did not expect to be a resident in a care home but I cannot fault the care that I receive from all members of staff, who without fail, do their best for me!

I had already visited Meadowcroft with library book deliveries so knew what to expect from surroundings etc. It has proved to be more pleasant than I expected. All the staff are easy to talk to and very friendly, in spite of their busyness. My room is comfortable and adequate (though the view from the window could be improved!). I am well satisfied.

Very happy with everything other than the comfort of the bed. In the past, I've had a standard single bed and mattress. On this visit, I had an adjustable bed with a hard, not very deep, mattress.

My father-in-law was discharged from hospital to Meadowcroft one week ago. Thanks to the excellent nursing care he has made great progress. We could not be more delighted. He is treated with kindness, understanding and consideration. The nursing team are professional and really seem to enjoy their work.

I just wanted to thank all of the staff of Meadowcroft for looking after Mum so well at the end of her life. I was most impressed with the care and attention you gave her and our family. It was better than we could possibly have hoped for and I say that as a registered nurse of 40 years.
