My mother has lived in Home Meadow for the past two and half years and recently attained her 100th birthday. The mixture of male and female staff make a family atmosphere and supportive environment for the variety of conditions affecting older people. The senior carers are in constant contact with local doctors and nurses who visit on a daily basis. The food is nourishing, plentiful and varied. There are lots of activities and in particular it is heart warming to see the enjoyment residents have when singers perform. Encouraged and helped by carers, residents sing, dance, laugh and have fun. Overall my family is very grateful for the kindness and care which has greatly improved my mother's end of life experience with particular thanks to her lovely carers, but thank you to all of the staff at Home Meadow.
Many thanks for your encouraging and wonderful words. Much appreciated. Thanks
From start to finish Helen has been amazing with her admin skills. Noby the Manager listens to you and puts processes in place. The Nurses and the staff always have a smile on their face and will do anything for you. I'm glad our family found this lovely home, for our Uncle to look out the window...

All the staff were kind, friendly and very caring. Residents were encouraged to join in activities and my wife enjoyed these and though she would not usually join in, the cares encouragement worked! Food was good, the room nice. Overall a great ( respite) experience which we hope to repeat when the need for respite care comes round again with a view to long term care in the future. Thank you all!

When dad first came to Home Meadow he was very reluctant to come out of his room - or join in any of the activities. However, you all worked hard to encourage dad to go up to the lounge and following this dad started socialising and enjoying the activities.
This was solely down to the dedication of you - the Home Meadow staff.
Dad loved Home Meadow - and this is very apparent in talking to him and seeing the wonderful photos of him laughing and enjoying himself - you all made the last two years of dad's
life happy and content.
Dear Joanna, we are very proud to hear that we managed to make a difference to your dad's life during his stay at Home Meadow. many thanks for your beautiful and encouraging words.
A satisfactory short stay. Thank you.

There is good security and weekly fire alarm checks. My husband is enjoying the meals and is eating well. He is in a safe and happy place, living amongst kind and helpful people. Also, live music happens regularly, as well as weekly hairdressing. We are very happy with Home Meadow.
All staff are very attentive & friendly at all times, helping & giving in a professional but friendly way. All people staying here are very well looked after & given plenty to each and drink, and Mum feels very comfortable & looked after.

She quickly settled into life at Home Meadow, despite a Covid lockdown.
Communication with the staff has been very good, and any care concerns have been dealt with promptly and honestly.
The staff have always been courteous and professional, and the low turnover of staff and lack of the need for agency staff suggests that it is a happy and rewarding place to work.
I would recommend Home Meadow unreservedly.
Many thanks for your feedback; much appreciated.
Mum lived at Home Meadow for the last 9 months of her life; with severe anxiety and dementia. She was always cared for with compassion, kindness, patience and warmth. Due to the level of her dementia, Mum was unable to take part in all the activities on offer. However, the delightful activities...
The home is well run with good communication between the manager and her staff.
Mum needed to eat a soft diet but all the food looked good and the other residents seemed to enjoy it.
Mum was transferred here from a newer and much more luxurious home in the area. Home Meadow is smaller and older with fewer facilities but the personal care she received here was much better than in the more expensive care home.
When Mum died during the night the staff on duty were absolutely lovely, also looking after me with great kindness and thoughtfulness. Thank you to all at Home Meadow.
Thank you very much for your kind words, they mean a lot to us. I will pass them on to the team. Thank you for trusting Mum in our care, it was an honour to look after her.

They made a real effort to help my mother settle even though she was finding the move from her bungalow difficult.
Thank you for your kind words about the staff, I'm glad we were able to make the transfer from her bungalow a little bit easier for your mother. Thank you for trusting her in our care.
The staff are very caring, the centre is clean and tidy with a small pleasant garden. My mother needed a high level of care and received the attention she needed. Staff were very kind and compassionate to me in her last days.

I enjoy organising activities in the home because it allows me to use my creative talents in artwork, cooking, dancing and flower arranging. Communication is key, and I love when residents come to talk with me or ask for support with activities they enjoy. I have over a year of frontline care experience, which I bring to my role at Home Meadow.

I enjoy spending time with the residents and keeping them happy each day. I am always glad to help with anything they need, whether that is changing a battery, fixing heating issues, decorating, or doing general maintenance to make their rooms feel homely. With 19 years of experience as a Mechanical Engineer in Dubai and Bahrain, I bring strong practical skills to Home Meadow, along with ongoing Healthcare Homes training, fire marshal training and water hygiene monitoring to help keep the home safe and running smoothly.

I enjoy that no two days are the same in the Care Home, and I always strive to go above and beyond to make residents' time as comfortable as possible. I hold an NVQ Level 3 qualification.
