My mum has now been in Meadowcroft for 4 weeks. She is a very independent lady, who sadly now has dementia. Initially she wasn't happy about going into a care home, but has settled in much better than we ever thought she would. I believe this is because Meadowcroft has such a lovely warm feel to
it, and the staff take time to talk and listen to her needs. I am really thankful to the staff, who have made this process a lot easier for her and her family. We have great peace of mind knowing that she is safe and happy.
Reply from Susan Briggs, Home Manager at MeadowcroftThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and kind review.

We understand how difficult the transition into a care home can be, particularly for someone who is very independent, and were delighted to hear that your mum has settled so well during her first few weeks at Meadowcroft. Creating a warm, welcoming environment where residents feel listened to, respected and supported is incredibly important to us, so your feedback means a great deal to the whole team.

I will be sure to share your lovely comments with our staff, who will be very encouraged to know they have helped make this period easier for your mum and for your family. Providing peace of mind to families and ensuring our residents feel safe, comfortable and happy is at the heart of what we do.

Thank you again for your trust in Meadowcroft. We look forward to continuing to support your mum and your family.

My mother had two falls on consecutive days. I was notified about the first one at 5am and was able to meet her at the hospital A & E Dept after Meadowcroft staff had called an ambulance. After returning to Meadowcroft later that afternoon mother then fell again the following lunchtime and was uncomfortably
trapped on the floor between a chair and a radiator. Staff sensibly cared for her in situ, choosing not to risk injury through moving her, called for an ambulance and again notified me promptly. After a second hospital visit Mother was assessed by a physiotherapist and given a new walking aid which the staff helped her to get used to in the coming days. In general I always fund Meadowcroft to be clean, warm and welcoming and providing good care to Mother and support to the family. I think the episodes above illustrate the extra level of care provided.

Mum just seems so happy in Meadowcroft. It was such a shock for us when it became clear that she needed to be cared for, however they have made the transition so easy. We know that she is safe, looked after, well-fed and has so many other needs met. We're so happy with the experience.

Meadowcroft have really looked after my mum since she moved in during April 2025. All the staff are very caring and supportive, not just to my mum but to us family too. They encourage my mum who has Alzheimers to take part in activities which they hold every morning and afternoon. Mum especially loves
the singing activities. The home is very clean and the garden is beautiful. The residents can help in the garden if they enjoy gardening. It's lovely that Meadowcroft take the residents out on visits too. Mum loved going to have tea and cake.

Meadowcroft is a really lovely home to all the residents. My mother was wary of moving into a rest home permanently, undertstandably as she has alway been very independant.
The Manager was and is very supportive of all the family .
Mum had three respite stays and enjoyed each stay, and then the time
came when she felt she could no longer be independant and was becoming lonely. She made the decision to move in permanently and is very happy.
The staff are all very efficient and kind. There is always a happy atmosphere when I visit Mum.
It is very clean, the food is good and the gardens are beautiful.
There are lots of activities and entertainment, if you want to participate.
All the family are very pleased and happy that Mum has now moved into Meadowcroft, and we all enjoy visiting her.

My Mother came to Meadowcroft in difficult circumstances, as my father had passed away, and she was unable to live independently. Prior to her going there sisters and I looked around the different care homes in Shoreham By Sea and Meadowcroft shone out as a nice, friendly place where my mother would
feel comfortable and be safe. In making the transition to staying there, the staff were very helpful and friendly, making her feel welcome and part of the care home family. Mum moved there in April 2025 and has settled in nicely now. Mum has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and has short term memory problems. The staff at Meadowcroft are well aware of this and are able to assist with her needs. Before moving there she sometimes would not get dressed or washed, now though she has got into a nice routine takes a certain pride in her appearance, which I think is indicative of how well she has adjusted to living there.

Very friendly and approachable staff and very attentive. Nothing is too much trouble for them if my grandmother would like or needs something. I feel she is safe and being very well cared for here.

The building is kept very well, clean and smelling great; plus the upkeep of the beautiful gardens surrounding the home too. I feel very comforted that my grandmother is very safe and being very well looked after there.

I first visited Meadowcroft in the summer of 2024 and immediately felt it was the perfect place for my mum to move to once she was no longer able to stay at home independently. It's so friendly and homely, the staff are all really kind and thoughtful and it is managed really well. The rooms are characterful,
spacious and bright. One of the most important things to me was to find a care home for mum which genuinely had a lot of activities going on for the residents, as I knew mum would not settle well otherwise. Each Sunday a new activities timetable for the week is delivered to the residents rooms so that they can choose what they would like to join in with during the week ahead. Singing sessions, exercise classes, visits from the children from the nursery next door. And much more. It's such a relief to know my mum is being so well cared for.
Reply from Susan Briggs, Home Manager at MeadowcroftThank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words and thoughtful reflections about Meadowcroft.

Creating a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for our residents and their families is at the heart of everything we do. We're so pleased to hear that you've found our team to be caring and thoughtful, and that your mum has settled in well and is enjoying the activities we offer.

Located in an old house Meadowcroft has a homely atmosphere. Its kind and attentive staff are always ready, and have time, to assist. Home and/or hospital visits are arranged and managed for the residents as required. Visits by the local school, singers, a local dog, hairdresser, podiatrist & others
along with a varied selection of activities keep everyone occupied. With friends & family encouraged to visit whenever they are able it seems more like a large family home than a residential care establishment.

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 47 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
