Cannot thank the staff enough for their continued care of my mum. She has advanced dementia and can sometimes be very challenging to look after, however, the staff always treat her with kindness and with a smile. They continue to provide excellent care and support for residents and relatives even during these difficult COVID times. Mum continues to be kept safe and well. Thank you!
My aunt is part of an amazing family at Meadowcroft. The friendly sensitive staff are always on hand and have made my whole family feel at ease knowing she is living in a safe, caring, inclusive environment. I would recommend Meadowcroft to myself if ever needed. 10/10.

I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the staff at Meadowcroft. Their commitment to dignity in care is a reality and not just a tagline. I am happy that my grandmother's needs at 100 can be met with love and professionalism and I would be hard-pressed to find anywhere better! Despite the challenges of COVIS, Meadowcroft has maintained it's positive spirit, can-do attitude and willingness to make the most of it's team - outstanding.
I had some concerns over my dad's welfare and arranged a meeting. The team were superb, patient and understanding. We agreed a plan and I'm confident we will work our way through it all.

The Meadowcroft team looked after dad for three years and during that time provided the reassurance we needed that dad was cared for and supported. Collectively everyone, reception, cooks, cleaners, volunteers, nurses, carers and managers provided professional care and a personal touch. Dad was encouraged to be as independent as possible and given opportunities to join in events and trips when right. In his final days, dad was treated with compassion, consideration, dignity and his wishes were understood and respected. The team reached out to support and help the family too. We could not have asked for more.
The staff are excellent lovely and caring and the home is warm, safe and comfortable. The security is so good that it is often a challenge getting in and out and having to wait for a member of staff to come to the door, but otherwise no complaints and mum is very happy here.

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.

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.
