At New Meppershall, they combine modern facilities and practices with traditional family values to provide your family with the best care, love and support possible.

Each resident has the luxury of living in a newly refurbished building with delightful landscaped gardens nestled in the beautiful countryside. New Meppershall is a wonderful, tranquil building set in a truly unique environment.

It has been carefully refurbished to the highest standards and residents can look forward to the very best care, in the most peaceful of surroundings.

My dad had to go and stay at New Meppershall for some respite after sustaining a severe neck injury after a fall.
Dad was cared for so well he wasn't always easy sometimes confused and difficult but nothing was any trouble for them. He had such a lovely time and everyone was so caring. He had some
amazing trips out and was given lovely new memories.
They turned a awful situation into a amazing experience that my dad talks very fondly of.
He was given time and patience when he was upset as he was scared he didn't know were he was or who anyone was. They kept us fully informed of how dad was doing and wasn't so good.
As a family we couldn't thank them enough for looking after our dad. If dad needs cars again in the future we would definitely consider taking him back there.
We also had a tricky situation where dad had a hospital appointment we were all on holiday they arranged for someone to take him which as a family was amazing.

From the moment my mum arrived she was treated with the utmost kindness care and compassion. All the staff at New Meppershall are fantastic people who obviously have the same common purpose of giving all the residents the absolute best in care. The facilities are modern, bright, airy, clean and well
maintained. In particular my mum enjoyed the frequent trips out to London, Walton on the Naze, Bedford and the local pub in the afternoon!
Like most people mum was very wary about going into a care home but after a few weeks did not want to leave.
I have no hesitation in recommending Meppershall as a safe, secure, caring place to provide your loved one with the high quality care they deserve.

We will never be able to put in to words just how special the team are. The care, kindness and compassion they showed to my dad and us during his time at there was unmeasurable. We are certain that we had him that little bit longer because of how kind and caring they were. They treat everyone like family
and that really shows. We will be forever grateful to you all for taking dad in and all that you did for Us x

The staff and buildings were of the highest quality and the care provided was beyond expectations and delivered with a cheerful and happy attitude. My wife was cared for like a member of the family during her convalescence from major surgery. If we need care in future we would have no hesitation in
returning to New Meppershall Care Home on a permanent basis.

My Mum stayed for respite care after an operation. The home made my Mum feel very welcome with its family atmosphere. My Mum was cared for day and night by a dedicated team. Nurses were available when my Mum needed medical help. Visitors were made very welcome. The home is clean, bright and airy.
The food is excellent. When my Mum felt better she went on one of the regular outings, which she really enjoyed. I'm so glad we found this home for my Mum's respite care.
I would like to thank the wonderful team at the home who supported my Mum during her stay.

Kind and respectful of my father's needs. Always cheerful with a 'can do' attitude.
All the staff knew what they were doing and made my father feel valued and cared for.
Although we only needed 4 weeks respite at this stage my father would be very happy to return in the future.
The family were also
welcome to visit at any time which made us all very comfortable with the care provided to my father.
The meals were very good and the family were made very welcome to eat with my father.
My father's medication was ordered on time. He enjoyed the trip out on the minibus and also the support to get to see a little of the village.
Highly recommended.
Thank you for your care.

An amazing, caring, friendly environment. Took great care of our Mum who came from hospital with complications following open heart surgery. Very fragile on arrival but she left walking, well-fed and laughing, back to independence. They sorted her complicated medication routine perfectly and were always
smiling and helpful in answering questions. Thank you to the whole team!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot have been happier with the care my mother-in-law received at New Meppershall. They treat all their residents as family and that is just what it feels like having your loved one in their care. The whole family is treated with care compassion and kindness.
It's so hard to entrust the care of
a much-loved family member to someone else, but she was really happy there. The best part for me were the staff, every single one of them was wonderful, the office administrator, care assistants and nursing staff. Each one of them made her stay there happy and comfortable. They were always on hand if we needed any help or advice and we could visit at any time. They were always in contact with us if there was any change in her health or even if she had a change of medication!
She couldn't have been in better hands and it gave us great comfort knowing that she was being looked after better than we ever could have done. We will be forever grateful for everything they did for all of us.

We would like to express immense gratitude to the whole team. We went through the last month of Mum's life with the team at New Meppershall and they were just wonderful.
Respectful, caring, warm. From the first contact to the last moment. It is an incredibly intimate and difficult time for a family
when the oldest member passes and we felt supported but not intruded on.
That was important.
Thank you all.

We were looking for somewhere special for palliative care for our mum and we found it. From our very first contact with New Meppershall, we were impressed and remained impressed. The home has a warm and welcoming feel, it is spotlessly clean and tidy, the meals are lovely, there is a nice garden and
it is good that there is also a hairdresser and chiropodist available.
More importantly, was the exceptional care Mum received during her stay. From everyone (the cleaners, housekeeping, carers, nurses and management team) nothing was ever too much trouble. Mum was always treated with respect and cheerful friendliness. We are very grateful for the care that Mum received and could not have wished for a better place for her. Thank you.

From the very first contact with New Meppershall, our minds were put at rest by the friendly, knowledgeable and very approachable staff across the board. The nurses and carers were all fantastic, kept us updated with Dad's progress, and were kind and attentive to his needs. They were very welcoming
to us as a family, knowing us all by name and being very helpful with my mum, who we took daily to spend time with dad, and who is also disabled. Nothing we asked for was ever too much trouble and my dad said there wasn't a single person he could fault. The admin staff were just as great, arranging daily papers, haircuts, chiropody, and even helping with video calls that Dad struggled with on his own, playing a part in settling him in and putting our minds at rest. The building itself is large, open, airy and spotlessly clean and decorated tastefully. We were welcome to make ourselves and Dad hot drinks at any time. Sadly had to move Dad due to the distance from home but would highly recommend it!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was fiercely independent and self-sufficient. That was until he mutually agreed with medical advice that it wasn't safe or in his best interests to continue living in his own home alone. It was probably the hardest decision he'd ever had to make in his life. He chose New Meppershall Care Home
without any interference. He always knew what he wanted. Pre-admission contact with the admin staff was friendly, sympathetic and professional. I 1st visited him on admission day and was immediately impressed by the location, facilities and cleanliness. The attending nursing staff were totally professional, friendly, respectful and constantly checking in on him to ensure he was comfortable without being 'over fussy'. All the while his dignity was maintained. The menu is varied and high quality and there are organised activities/outings. As a visitor, I was looked after and given all the information I needed. Other visitors to him made the same comments. I would choose here for myself 10/10. Thank you all.

Visiting my father from the USA during his stay here and I was thoroughly impressed with the location, layout, and superior level of care that he was receiving from care staff and administrators. It comforts me to know that he is in good hands. The location is clean, tidy, and offers a variety of activities
for the residents to participate in. The home is set facing open countryside to offer a peaceful surrounding to all that can enjoy it. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the patients are safe and comfortable in a very professional manner. My brother and I have been blessed to have been given this opportunity for our father. They welcome you with open arms and answer any questions regarding patient care openly. I would thoroughly recommend this location to anybody who is considering a care home option for their loved one.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for New Meppershall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.993 for New Meppershall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (419 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 422 Ratings = 4.993
  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 New Meppershall Care Home is based on 37 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 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2, which has been reached with 37 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.
