Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I found the staff to be very helpful and caring to my sister and to myself. It was nice to see the residents playing games and interacting instead of just sitting there.
The residents are able to walk around the home and go out into a secure garden.
The home itself is situated in a nice, quiet part
of the old Aylestone Village with a park nearby.

Since my mum has moved into Meadow's Court she seems a lot better and happier. She joins in with the games, bingo etc. Mum loves to see the animals. All staff are caring and understanding.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A very well-presented care home with very friendly staff. They gave my mother-in-law great care over the years who was blind and also had dementia. Food was well presented at meal times with staff in assistance. The room was always clean and tidy throughout her stay until she passed on 21/05/2024. I
am sure they can still hear her shouting at them!
A big thank you to all the staff who work so very hard.

My dad is very happy with the care he's receiving. The staff are very friendly, the lounge could do with being a bit bigger as it tends to get full very quickly. I would like my dad to have showers/shaves a little more often, but I know he refuses sometimes. The senior carer is a godsend to me keeping
me informed about Dad. On the whole, I am happy with the care my dad gets.
Reply from Kelly Doyle, Marketing and Employee Engagement at Meadow's Court

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about the care your dad is receiving at our home. We are pleased to hear that he is happy and that you find our staff friendly and supportive. We appreciate your feedback regarding the size of the lounge. We understand the importance of a comfortable and spacious environment. Regarding your dad's showers and shaves, we respect his personal choices but will continue to encourage him gently to ensure his comfort and hygiene. We are glad to hear that our senior carer has been a valuable support in keeping you informed about your dad's well-being. Your satisfaction and your dad's happiness are very important to us. Thank you again for your feedback and for trusting us with your dad's care.

Went to see a friend and it was very easy to get there and the staff were very friendly and helpful to us all. Then we sat with him and he had his lunch, then we went to the lounge and we watched TV. Then we left to come back home.

All of our family wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the manager and particularly the staff involved in the direct care of my father in the last month of his life. The staff were very caring, dedicated and compassionate. They were also very helpful to family members and myself when we had any
queries.
The level of dedication shown by the staff was touching to witness.
Reply from Kelly Doyle, Marketing and Employee Engagement at Meadow's Court

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff here are very friendly and hardworking. Nothing is too much trouble, they are very kind to the residents. They know everyone by name and take a genuine interest in the residents and their families. It was lovely to see how they helped my mum get ready for her granddaughter’s wedding, which
was the talk of the town! She got her hair & nails done and the staff helped her to get ready for the big day.
Management has been helpful in resolving any questions regarding Mum’s care and keeps me informed of any medical issues etc.
The food is good and freshly prepared on site and my mum loves it. She took a few months to settle, having lived independently until January this year but is now really starting to thrive - physically she is stronger and her quality of life is better.
If we’ve had any questions, these have been dealt with promptly and efficiently.
Best of all, I know that Mum is safe here so I don’t need to worry about her - I know that I will be contacted should there be any problems.
Reply from Alpesh Patel, Director at Meadow's Court

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. It was an honour to play a small part in such a special day for all of your family, to see how happy your mum was certainly made our day. We understand transitioning into care can be difficult not only for our residents but for their loved ones also and we are always on hand to make this process easier for all. Our staff are on hand 24/7 to answer any questions no matter how big or small they may be and your review has shown us that this is the case.

My dad went into the care home about seven months ago, a transfer from the hospital.
It was a very worrying time for the family.
The staff have been amazing and have made my dad comfortable; he has settled in well.
I must mention the kitchen staff are great, as they manage to make his favourite
food.
Recently his bedroom has been redecorated and is looking great.
I thank all the management, seniors and carers for dealing with my responses promptly.

It's not a pleasant thing to be putting a relative into care but the staff here were fantastic. They were on the ball and the level of service was second to none. The home was spotless and the food was excellent. Thank you to all staff and the adult social care manager who we dealt with.

I find this place unacceptable, sheets are dirty, commode hardly ever clean except if I ask them to. Very often when I visit the bed alarm is not on the bed. I had to clean her up as she had an accident in her pants, her bottom was so sore it was bleeding and when I asked them about it they said the
doctor had been two days before and was sending a prescription and still hadn't received it so just left it. Appalling!

I want to say how well all staff and management have looked after my brother, over the last few months. They have all shown compassion and care not only to him, but to our family who live quite a way from Leicester, but have always been able to call for updates and whoever picks up the phone is friendly,
courteous and helpful.
Sadly my brother passed away yesterday with his daughter by his side (as she had been for several days). Everyone looked after him and her so well, especially one staff member and we thank her and all staff for everything they have done.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident at Meadow's Court for 7 months having transferred from another care home due to a decline in her health. Since arriving she has been much happier in mood. She is allowed to move around freely and interacts with other residents and staff. Staff are pleasant and engage with residents.
Mum can often be found enjoying a cup of tea with staff when they are sitting doing paperwork. Mum can sometimes be difficult due to her dementia, but staff manage her behaviour well and avoid conflict. She can often be found roaming the corridors, engaging with staff who are always pleasant.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.552)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.552) out of 10 for Meadow's Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.552 for Meadow's Court is calculated as follows: ( (211 Excellents x 5) + (76 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 317 Ratings = 4.552
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meadow's Court is based on 25 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 25 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.

Baljinder Kaur

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2022

My name is Baljinder Kaur and I’ve been a registered manager at Meadows Court Care Home since January 2023. I am a very motivated, hardworking, reliable, honest, loyal person and a fast learner who can work well within a team or individually using my own initiative.


I am a professional who has successfully finished under graduation degree gaining a BA (Hons), NVQ 2 and 3 in Health Social Care with over 10 years’ experience. I am also currently doing a B.Sc in health and social care 3rd year (part-time on hold at the moment) whilst successful in my current employment as a Home Manager and fluent speaker in English, Hindi and Punjabi. I have good health and social care experience and transferable leadership and management skills to work flexibly in any environment.


My self-sufficiency and motivation always have led me to where I am, also I am not apprehensive about new challenges to achieve any opportunities undertaken.
I am passionate and have always enjoyed working with older people and I have a wealth of experience, knowledge and skill from my past roles. In my current role as home manager, I have already built up a good effective working relationship with staff, service users and their families. I can lead, motivate, supervise, support and assist the team to carry out their job roles to the best of their abilities. I can carry out full assessments and risk assessments on new and current service users. I have a good understanding of End-of-life care, Mental Health, MCA, Best interest decisions, Safeguarding, Notifications, Khloe’s, the Recruitment process, Challenging behaviour and Dementia. I have excellent knowledge on day to day-to-day operations of residential homes and the various audits that need to be carried out to ensure safety and effectiveness.


I can also work alongside professionals such as the Care Quality Commission and local authorities. I have worked my way from Care Assistant to senior care assistant, deputy manager and Home Manager. Having worked at every level has ensured I have a greater understanding of person-centred care and care planning. I am also trained in the safe handling of medication, safeguarding, moving and handling, care planning and many other trainings. I am very confident in liaising with GPs and all healthcare professionals. I am now looking to bring my wealth of experience and knowledge to my current position. I have a positive attitude and strive to promote all service users' safety, health well-being and staff independence, by encouraging them to fulfil their potential for their job role, my management approach is firm but fair.
