Meadowcroft Residential Care Home

I cannot thank the staff enough for how well they looked after my aunt during her stay there

The staff make you very welcome, friendly, and you are treated like being part of one big family. They let you know of any events that will take place for special days e.g. Valentines, Christmas etc. You are offered a hot drink and biscuit when the tea round is done, or even offer it if you have missed. The staff are approachable and always help if they can. Will try and answer any queries you have.

Our mother has resided at Meadowcroft Residential Car Home now for just over 12 months. We have gotten to know the staff quite well over the past year and have always found them very caring, professional and hard-working.

The carers all seem very caring people who look after the residents with affection.

Thank you all for looking after Mom she is now back home with Dad.

The staff have been brilliant with him, and although, at 97 years old, he is coming to the end of his life, he is very happy.

Look forward to visiting my mother here as the staff are always so friendly and obliging and knowing my mother is happy and content here.

My husband is physically well but has dementia. He had a urine infection and became violent, spending weeks in hospital. Meadowcroft is a small care home with excellent management and caring staff who deal with dementia patients excellently. The staff greet you with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. Their patience with the residents, activities in groups and one-to-one is excellent. They have let me do some gardening and look after plants with my husband. The food is very good. I cannot recommend it enough.

I am very happy with all the care provided for my mom. They always keep me informed of any changes with my mom. The staff here are all excellent.

My mom has been at Meadowcroft since 2017, she's 98 now she's nothing like she was when she first moved as her Alzheimers is in the latter stages now. The staff love my mom as if she was their own, even though she's challenging at times. They call me wherever there's something I need to know, unlike the care home my mother-in-law lives in. Wouldn't want my mom anywhere else.

My mum was admitted on a care to assess basis from the hospital. The home is situated in a rather grim area and the room overlooked an industrial space and was dark and depressing. The level of cleanliness was poor and a blocked toilet was left for some time and kept re-blocking. No one had cleaned under the bed for some time and furnishings in social spaces were grubby. Staff seemed well-meaning but not enough of them and personal care was very hit and miss. It was difficult to find someone to speak to when visiting and mum was left alone in her room a lot. No real activities although did have a hairdresser visit which was a plus. The home was still adhering to covid protocols and visiting was quite restricted. Asked for a move to somewhere else asap as could not really meet my mum's needs.

My dad was admitted to Meadowcroft after having a fall at home and was admitted to hospital in January 2021. After having a swab for Covid 19 it came back positive, Dad was in hospital for a month. NHS placed him in Meadowcroft for respite where he stayed for 3 weeks, I cannot thank the staff enough for looking after him. As a carer myself, I know how difficult it has become in the last year. Me and my 2 brothers are very grateful to the staff. Every phone call I made was very reassuring to all of my family, at one point during the year he was very poorly with Covid we did not think he would make it. Dad is now at home doing all the things he did before. Thank you to all the staff and management at Meadowcroft.

My mother has been a resident at Meadowcroft for over 9 years now. Throughout she has been cared for with the utmost respect, love and compassion with her dignity preserved at all times. All the staff are marvellous with her, and I can rest easier knowing that she is safe and loved. In these unprecedented times, there has been regular contact by telephone to discuss Mum’s welfare and although I have not been able to visit in person I am confident that everyone is doing their utmost to provide a safe and caring environment for Mum and her fellow residents. Well done Meadowcroft, you are amazing.

Meadowcroft is amazing, my mum has been here for over 9 years. Her every need is met. The staff are incredible, and the manager treats every resident with such love and compassion. The meals are freshly cooked, nutritious and tailored for the residents, similar to a 5-star hotel. In these very uncertain times with COVID-19, my family are deeply comforted by the stringent care and attention that is in place. We may not be able to visit at this time, but that is best for our mum and the other residents. These are our loved ones and we know they are in the best hands possible. Thank you, Meadowcroft, you are truly wonderful.

The atmosphere is friendly, staff are great. Nothing is too much trouble. I would give everyone a gold star. Being looked after very well.

Thank you to all the staff for giving us this peace of mind.

Sometimes I leave upset. You do what I can't for my sister and I really appreciate it. I like the comfortable feel about the home. No one feels tied down.

The staff of Meadowcroft do a fantastic job. I've got nothing but praise for them all and all the good work they do. They have my respect. Please carry on your good work.

The staff are superb, well led and very approachable. I have the greatest respect for the job they do.
