Thanks to everyone, especially Elaine for supporting me as well.
My mum went to Meppershall from hospital. We had not visited prior and it was both mum and myself first experience within a care home so we were not sure what to expect. We were both immediately welcomed and made to feel at ease. It is a very bright and spacious home and we were both pleasantly surprised. Mum stayed for 8 weeks and I can honestly say within that short amount of time it started to feel like home, the care and kindness all of the staff given not only to my mum but myself was amazing. I was constantly kept updated with mum's treatment and any health issues and it was lovely to see my mum bond and build relationships with the staff. Everyone from the nursing/care staff, admin, entertainment and housekeeping did their upmost to make mum's stay as comfortable as possible. Personally I also found the team very supportive, and always having a smile or a wave when I visited meant so much. I can't thank Meppershall enough for looking after us, it really is a wonderful place.
His room was one of the best, it was spatial with ensuite, chairs etc. The staff were brilliant in settling him in.
He was a character and all the staff knew of him in a positive light. There was a connection especially when the drinks trolley came round twice a day, hot tea, three sugars and a biscuit.
The Staff were forward thinking in that they actively engaged with the residents . The staff took the residents down the local pub, I joined them on one visit and they all enjoyed themselves. They found out that my Uncle was in the RAF, National Service so they arranged a visit to Duxford. He had a passion for cars so there was a visit to Silverstone to look at the cars.
The medical team in the home were at the top of their game for the benefit of my Uncle.
Our uncle went to the home in February 2025. The family is very impressed by the care and love he experienced. That love and care extended to us too. The home took time to understand what would make him happy and took him to places including Duxford Air Museum, Silverstone, local museums and, his favourite, shopping in Milton Keynes. All the staff contributed to his mental and physical wellbeing, and were with him at the end of his life. We are so grateful, and so pleased we chose Meppershall for our uncle.
I can not fault New Meppershall Care Home. The care for my husband and me was excellent.
Of particular note was the support given to us in celebrating my father's 100th birthday - the planning and thought put into the celebrations was very much appreciated.
We would highly recommend New Meppershall as a warm, welcoming and well run facility.
I can't thank all the staff enough for the care and compassion they gave to my dad and our family. Dad went to New Meppershall in July'25 and they catered for all his needs. He had a lovely large room with ensuite which was kept lovely and clean. The staff were all very friendly and would always keep the family informed about dad. I could leave dad with peace of mind knowing he was being lovingly cared for. The staff treated the residents with respect and dignity. Very sadly my dad passed away in March and fortunately we were able to keep my dad in the home at end of life which was very peaceful and dignified. The staff were amazing and could not do enough for my dad and us as a family. They supplied us with recliner chairs, quilts and pillows so we could stay with him 24/7 which gave us great comfort knowing we could be with him. They made sure dad was comfortable all of the time and even ensured we were fed and watered so we didn't need to leave.
He can relax in his room or join in with the regular organised activities, including trips out to local attractions, garden centres and shops.
Living on his own became too challenging, he made the decision to find a care home and New Meppershall had availability at the right time. All of his needs are taken care of, the food is excellent and there is always someone around, from the medical staff and carers to the cleaners and support staff.
Knowing that dad is being looked after removes the worry for us, we are always made to feel welcome when we visit.
The family have all been impressed with the high standard of care he has received whilst there.The dedicated staff team were always very caring, kind and patient with my Dad who could be quite difficult at times. We found the team to be very responsive regarding any physical health concerns we had which were all managed professionally and with skill.
All the staff without question always greeted the family with a ready genuine smile whenever we visited and updated us with progress that had been made. Dad also commented several times about how the staff would chat and help him and how he felt they really cared.
Dad also enjoyed a day trip out and had a hair cut whilst he was there, which for him were just what he needed.
Absolutely amazing care home. From the day mum arrived to her last day there. They were courteous and caring, meeting everything and more we hoped for in caring for her. The staff interacted with everyone meeting each individuals need. I would highly recommend. And cannot thank them enough.
The care and understanding from the team was remarkable. Everybody from the care staff, medical team, administrators and managers all made him feel special and cared for. Their interaction with family was considered and caring, and very supportive in a difficult time for us.
After settling in Dad was happy there, and went on several of the trips. What a great environment. Thanks all, you made a big difference to the family at a difficult time.
The food is excellent with a wide variety of savoury and sweet options. The overall home is a pleasure to visit as everyone is so friendly.
The home had meny different activities and various different foods and snacks and couldn't find fault location easy to navigate to and never any problems.
My uncle was only in New Meppershall for a short while. I was very impressed by the pleasant, helpful and kind staff who looked after him during his short stay. I was also impressed by the cleanliness and overall standards, all of which I will always remember.
My Mum was only in New Meppershall for a few weeks after being discharged from hospital for palliative care. Every aspect of the home was exceptional, the staff very caring and compassionate and always available to answer any questions. Even after her passing the staff were there for the family.
Room was lovely and mum could see trees and the sky which she throughly enjoyed.
Our mother stayed in the home for a few weeks at the end of her days and the staff were amazing. They treated her with dignity and respect, kept the family informed in person and by phone. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was friendly and approachable.
Dad came to New Meppershall during September 2024 and was there about a year before he sadly passed away. During his time there he was very settled and happy. The dedicated hard working staff were always attentive to his needs, always smiling. The home would arrange organised trips out which he participated in and enjoyed. Always on hand to answer any of our concerns regarding his health and were supportive to us as a family. Would highly recommend
They can't do enough. It feels like a big family. There is plenty they can do and are so accommodating. My mother is treated with respect and always cared to a high standard. Definitely recommend this care home for your loved one.
The care home itself is very clean and bright. The garden is a lovely part of the home too for residents and visitors.
