Meifod & Vicarage Court is a residential care home, tailoring care provision to support a wide range of needs for people with age related conditions such as poor mobility, general ill-health, or mental needs due to dementia by the fully trained staff team. Situated in a quiet and pretty location in Wrexham, a family run business since October 2019.

Activities are offered in the home with music, crafts and quizzes, as well as external entertainers/musicians booked regularly. Outside patio areas with plants and seating are available.

Lunch and tea service is prepared by Apetito who have teamed up with Wiltshire Farm foods to provide nutritious meals catered for the care home sector. Apetito cater for all dietary and medical needs including malnutrition, dementia, diabetes, and an award-winning dysphagia range.

The home is proud to introduce Ally Cares, a sophisticated artificial intelligence night time monitoring system that uses sound and motion sensors to enable staff to identify residents' needs from anywhere in their room. This cutting-edge technology enhances night time safety and personalises the care by supporting uninterrupted, restful sleep and freeing up staff to deliver more personalised care, by supporting residents at the right time. Ally has an impressive track record for care homes with a 63% reduction in night-time falls and hospital admissions by 56%. Check the Ally Cares website for more information.

Unfortunately unable to comment on some of the areas because I have not been in the home because of lockdown, but have regular updates and photos of Mum. She is happy and put on weight. Staff are excellent and I am so glad Mum is well looked after.

In my opinion, Meifod House care home is an extremely well-run establishment and I am very happy that my mother is a resident there. The staff within the home are always polite, very courteous and very helpful. All of the needs of the resident seem to be extremely well looked after.
In short every
aspect of Meifod House care home is excellent well run and in every way possible. They are a credit to care homes and looking after the elderly.

Our mum has been in Meifod since September 2020. We are more than happy with the care she is having, because of Covid, we have not been inside but have spoken to a few of the team and they are all very friendly. My mum has told us during a pod visit she is very happy and she loved them all. They have
also told us how much they love her. That in itself is enough comfort for us. Well done all at Meifod, you are a great team. Cannot wait to meet you all properly.

Reply from Nazmeen Arif, RI at Meifod & Vicarage Court

Dear Jill, thank you for your time and review. Please do arrange a face to face visit if you would like as these have been in place for several weeks now. We look forward to welcoming you at the home.

Nursing/care/domestic staff are wonderful with the residents - have made a decision which was forced upon us due to sudden ill health much easier to accept. Mum is in great hands and that makes me happy. Cannot thank the staff enough.

My mother is very well looked after at Meifod care home.
She is always clean and well presented with her hair neatly done.
She has a good rapport with the staff, and they seem to enjoy looking after her.
The food is very good, and Mum eats everything on her plate.
The garden area is pleasant
and easily accessible and safe.

Mum has only been here for 2 weeks, having been in hospital for over a month due to a safeguarding issue at her last home. They are a friendly bunch, some staff more than others. Like most homes, there was a staffing issue the other night, but staff were switched round to accommodate. As they are in
the middle of refurbishment I cannot give more info at this time.

Reply from Nazmeen Arif, RI at Meifod & Vicarage Court

Dear S, thank you for your review. We always ensure that enough staff are on hand to cover. Also, if you are concerned about the level of activities of speak to the manager or myself. We have a range of equipment to support residents to feel more engaged. If you have any suggestions please do let us know. Thanks

My father has been at Meifod for four years. The staff have always been attentive and kind. The previous owners were ok but I feel the new owners have improved the home. I am very satisfied with his care.

The care and compassion shown to my mum and support to our family through this difficult transition was amazing. Staff are always around and have kept us informed of my mum's progress and any needs she has. We visit throughout the day most days of the week and always found my mum to be well cared for.

Reply from Nazmeen Arif, Director/RI at Meifod & Vicarage Court

Nicola, thank you for your review. It is much appreciated. We have made a lot of changes at the home since taking over in October 2019 and am glad that your mum is benefitting from this. Please let us know if there is anything else we could do. Thanks, Baz

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.794)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for Meifod & Vicarage Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.794 for Meifod & Vicarage Court is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 296 Ratings = 4.794

  • b) 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 Meifod & Vicarage 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
