  • Queens Meadow Care Home, Owton Manor
Queens Meadow is a beautiful purpose built care home boasting the ambiance of modern day style with old world charm and sophistication.

Carers offer residents and their families the support they need during what many find some of the most trying times of their lives. Families are truly grateful for the personal support they receive, when faced with one of life's very difficult decisions and the team pride themselves on continuing that support to residents and their families from the moment they contact the home throughout the whole of their stay and beyond.

The approach to care is simple - look after the person and not the ailment/condition alone - Carers want to get to know their residents and their families, thus enabling them to look after the whole person and not just to concentrate on the task in hand. Staff get to know their clients, who they are, who they were and how they have come to be at the home. Carers get to know their families too and like to understand the dynamics within the family setting and how best they can support these as they build a relationship of trust. They understand that choosing a care home is not just about excellent amenities, but about a true and real understanding of relationships being nurtured, trust being built and a life being lived. Professionals believe in true, real and honest care and keep this at the heart of their approach.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been coming to this care home many years to visit relatives and I am still very pleased with the care they receive. The staff, that is all staff, are very pleasant and helpful and easy to talk too.
The care they provide is personal, thoughtful and with out question, excellent.
The management,
both local and other wise, are doing a good job and should be proud of there achievements'.
A big thank you is deserved for the care home staff.

Staff are always friendly and energetic. They communicate and treat residents with respect and kindness, and keep a sense of humour whilst caring for all residents. They show and demonstrate compassion, with residents and family members when needed. The home itself is clean, warm and homely. I would
like to see more activities. However staff do try to organise stimulating environments but they do have limited time due to workload. It would be good to have members of staff designated to organise activities and entertainment.

The care staff at Queens Meadow have provided the best care for my mam ensuring she is well taken care of at all times. I now don't worry as much as I used to as they all go above and beyond in their general day-to-day care never failing to bring a smile to my mam's face. My mam has nothing but love
for each and every one of them. I can't thank them enough for continuing to make her feel special every day.

We visited a friend for the first time after she entered the home. On arrival, we were impressed at the overall cleanliness, staff attitude (nothing seemed to be a problem to them) and, from first arriving, we were quickly guided to our friend. In conclusion - top marks!

I can't thank the care home enough, since my grandmother was moved to Queens Meadow Care Home, they have looked after her so well, ensured she has had all she needed and encouraged some independence and social integration with other residents again. They have also been a massive support and listening
ear to the family and that has meant more to us than I can ever describe.
Thank you so much to all the staff.

The manager is one of the most professional and caring people I have met. She shows great leadership skills to the staff here, who have a great deal of respect for her. I leave my husband knowing he is getting 5-star treatment.
Thank you to everyone, would recommend to anyone.

From walking in the door to visit my dad, I was made to feel welcome. The care shown to my dad is second to none and nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are homely and very clean. The staff are very friendly and treat my dad with dignity. They take time to speak with him and he enjoys having a laugh
with them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From my initial phone contact, I was pleased with the response to my queries in a friendly and helpful manner. Upon first visiting Queens Meadow I found it well located in the town with good parking facilities and once inside received a warm welcome. I was introduced to various members of staff, all
of whom were friendly with smiling faces. My aunt has a wonderful room with a large bay window overlooking the garden, just perfect. The dining room and lounges are attractive again with garden views and they also have a homely atmosphere. I have no hesitation in recommending Queens Meadow Care Home.

But in the last two weeks my wife has been in Queens Meadow Care Home, I can only say we are very, very lucky as Queen Meadow Care Home is as good as where I live.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.681)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.681) out of 10 for Queens Meadow Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.681 for Queens Meadow Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 270 Ratings = 4.681
  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 Queens Meadow Care Home is based on 23 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 23 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.
