Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.689)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.689) out of 10 for Lower Meadow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.814 for Lower Meadow is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.814
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lower Meadow is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    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 = 3.875
    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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, which has been reached with 15 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.

Rachel Walker

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2018

I began my journey at Lower Meadow 6 years ago now, as a care assistant and with the support of Runwood Homes, I have now successfully managed the home for over 3 years.


I am very proud of the amazing team we have and the quality of care that we provide here. To care for someone is an honour, but, to give them a life here at Lower Meadow, where they laugh, enjoy life and feel loved and cared for, now that is something special.

Job Title: Maintenance Joined: 2023

Hi, I’m Wayne! I’ve been working in maintenance at Lower Meadow for the past year, ensuring that our residents are safe and that the home is always looking their best. I take great pride in my work and am dedicated to keeping everything running smoothly.


One of my proudest achievements is passing all inspections with flying colours, reflecting the high standards I set in everything I do. In my spare time, I’m an avid fan of classic scooters and can even build a Lambretta from scratch! When I’m not working, you’ll often find me walking the dogs, enjoying the outdoors, and appreciating the little things in life.

Hi, I’m Tracey! As a Housekeeper at Lower Meadow, I make a difference every day by ensuring our residents have a clean, comfortable home to live in. I work closely with the team to meet all expectations and maintain the high standards of the home.


I’m passionate about my work and take pride in creating a welcoming environment for everyone. Outside of work, I love travelling and have had the privilege of visiting over 10 countries. When I'm at home, I enjoy reading, watching films, and taking the dogs out to the fields. I also love spending weekends at my static caravan, where I can unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

I'm Maxine. With over 6 years of experience as a Home Administrator at Lower Meadow, I take pride in fostering a positive and welcoming environment. I truly enjoy meeting and connecting with residents and their families, and while the job can be challenging at times, I find it incredibly rewarding. I’m a happy person, a good listener, and always strive to make others feel heard and valued.


Outside of work, I cherish spending quality time with my family and creating lasting memories. I love holidays abroad, as well as enjoying the beautiful Isle of Wight with my loved ones.
