Home Meadow is located in Toft, a quiet village in West Cambridgeshire and has views across the countryside. The home offers a relaxing and peaceful environment, with many rooms having views over the grounds and beyond. The gardens are stocked with trees, shrubs, roses and bedding plants that provide year-round colour and interest, whilst large windows flood the rooms with light. There are also secluded courtyard gardens that provide a quiet sun-trap where residents can sit sheltered from the wind and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
This warm, bright and welcoming home offers both residential care and a day care centre. The home comprises four attractive wings, namely Snowdrop, Primrose, Fuchsia, and Bluebell. Each wing has its own lounge and dining area as well as kitchen and bathroom facilities. Bedrooms are spacious, well-furnished and decorated to a high standard and residents are encouraged to bring items of their own furniture and possessions to complement those already provided, and to make their room feel personal and individual.
Care staff are trained to the highest standards and chosen not only for their skills, but also for their warmth, friendliness and caring attitude. Staff are available constantly to provide professional care that respects the rights and dignity of the individual.
Residents are regularly assessed to ensure their needs are met. Appointments can be made with a visiting optician, dentist, and chiropodist. Home Meadow also has an in-house hairdressing salon that provides all the usual services plus manicures and hand massages.
Catering staff provide delicious meals and snacks throughout the day and special diets can be catered for.

My friend was initially admitted to Home Meadow from hospital for two weeks respite care after falling at home and breaking her pelvis. It was agreed at the end of this time that she would become a self-funding resident. With each change of management the care improved and is currently excellent despite the Covid virus restrictions. Not having been able to visit since March I really appreciate the regular update emails from the manager and the contact with the activities manager.
Thank you, Barbara, for your lovely review and your continued support. Looking forward to being able to see you again.
We find the home very pleasant and she is happy and very comfortable there. They cater very well for her food intolerances.

For anyone looking for a care home for their friend or relative, here goes... My father-in-law has been in Home Meadow since December 2016 and has never looked better! It took a good while for him to settle in and we cannot thank everyone enough for all the patience, care, understanding and the positive approach that has been shown over this time. There are plenty of activities for folk to take part in - if they want to, and quiet spaces as activities aren't for everyone. Home Meadow make every effort to accommodate requests or suggest an alternative that works for everyone. Since March 2020 we have been able to keep in touch with my Father in Law - whether it be by phone, FaceTime or a socially distanced visit. Thank you, Home Meadow, for all that you do.
Thank you for the lovely review; it has been a pleasure getting to know Dad and hearing his wonderful stories.
Before shutdown, the atmosphere at Home Meadow was always warm and friendly. Since March, the staff have made visits as pleasant as possible, and I am sure the residents still feel safe and contended.

Many thanks for your review. It's been lovely seeing mum's face light up when you visit.
The care my mother receives at Home Meadow is second to none! I am extremely satisfied that she is given the utmost care and kindness from everyone.

My father was cared for at Home Meadow from December 2018 until his death this May. He was happy and well cared for during this time. Activities were arranged to keep him stimulated and occupied - including taking him swimming! As a family, we were always made welcome when we visited. During the last difficult months when we were unable to visit due to covid-19, knowing he was looked after and cared for made a huge difference to us all.
Thank you, your Dad was a lovely man. I know I speak for all the staff here when I say it was a pleasure.

I can not praise this care home enough! My Nan has been a resident here for a couple of years now. The staff take the time to get to know each resident and make sure they do their absolute best to offer care and enriching activities to meet her individual needs. The management are always visible and recently took the time to sit down with myself and my mum (the resident’s daughter and granddaughter) to go through her care plan and find out about my Nan a bit more (she now sadly has dementia). A thousand star rating wouldn’t be enough for Home Meadow.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It was lovely meeting with you and your mum and getting to know about Nan. Nan makes me smile on a daily basis.
Mum has been a resident in the Fuchsia wing for almost a year now and although it took her quite a few weeks, if not months, to settle in, she's been very well taken care of throughout.

Mum has been a resident in the Fuchsia wing for almost a year now and although it took her quite a few weeks, if not months, to settle in, she's been very well taken care of throughout. If anything, her level of care has improved under the new management as of last December, for which I'd like to commend both management and staff, day & night, without singling out any one individual, as they have all worked in an exemplary fashion and continue to care for Mum to the best of their knowledge and ability. I recommend Home Meadow in Toft without any reservations.

I'm writing this review to explain and help others in making the right decision if thinking of choosing Home Meadow. My Mum is a resident in Primrose Wing. Mum is so very happy and very well cared for. The period I would like to write about is Christmas, and especially Christmas day. Reception was so pretty, decorated with a large Christmas tree. Christmas activities were so well planned so everyone had something to look forward to. I went to spend Christmas morning with Mum and it was such a happy atmosphere, carols playing, a member of staff was dressed as Father Christmas, handing out present to all the residents, lovely special gifts to them from Home Meadow. Well done to all the staff that were working Christmas Day, plus a really big special thanks to all the staff and volunteers at Home Meadow.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It has been a pleasure getting to know you and your mum. Many thanks.

My elderly friend went into Home Meadow in early February this year (2019), at his own suggestion. He does not want to be in a care home because it represents his loss of memory and cognitive function. Despite this he has nothing but praise for Home Meadow, he says 'the grub is excellent' - and we can see how well he is eating - 'the staff are kindness itself', and we can see with what care and respect he is treated, and he finds his room homely and pleasant, despite his sadness at not being in his own home.
I cannot say enough about the staff and carers at Home Meadow. They have taken excellent care of my father for 2 years. They have expertise in dealing with people with dementia. They keep the patients as busy as possible. Above all, they are so compassionate and patient. I am so grateful.

Good afternoonThank you so much for your feedback, I can assure you I cover the weekends with the same number of staff I cover with during the week. I am going to work closely with the team to utilise the resources we have to ensure a smooth and good quality service to your Mum and all the residents at Home Meadow. As usual, my door is always open or you can drop me a line via email should you have any concerns.
Kind regards.

A very well done to all the staff, they all work extremely hard to ensure everyone is happy. Thank you.
Whilst the ratio of staff to residents is complied with, an extra staff member would be useful to all.
Can more be done to reduce the smell of stale urine when you enter the area?
The staff know the personality of our mum, which is lovely.

The pictures on the walls and books etc give a homely feel.
The staff are very welcoming and definitely treat residents with respect.
Thank you very much for your feedback, the matter you have raised is in hand but as this has now been absorbed by the walls over the years it will need time to completely get rid of it as my Domestic Team tackles this. I know you visit often and I look forward to getting feedback as this will definitely improve.
Toft Home Meadow Care Home is good. The staff are caring and very hard working. The food is good and nutritious. Relatives are very welcome. There are regular activities including art, singing and games.

The home is always very clean. The staff are always helpful and caring. Laundry staff are very, very good to me. Meals are excellent. I have a funny stomach but this is always taken care for in my meals. I cannot fault the home in any way. Entertainment is always taken care of, regardless of age.

The home is very friendly and relaxed. Residents are encouraged to so what they can and help when needed. In the mornings there can be a jolly atmosphere during activities. Visitors are always welcome.

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.
