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.

New Meppershall care home came under new management in June 2015, and they have been absolutely delighted with the response to their re-launch of the home and the launch of their cutting-edge, purpose-built dementia wing.

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.

The staff at this care home are really lovely. They kept nan topped up on pain relief so she wasn't in pain and kept us topped up with drinks and food even when we were there towards the end of the night. They decorated the home for nan's 100th birthday and got her a cake as well, which they came in
with candles singing happy birthday to her. Also sang happy birthday for my mum's 70th birthday which was lovely. The meals are lovely there. Thanks so much to all the staff.

My mother was taken to the home at the end of January for an end of life stay and she was there for almost 4 weeks. The care she received was unbelievable. I was able to visit every day and was always made very welcome. I got to know the staff very well and I have so much admiration for all of them
because they did their absolute best to make my mothers stay as comfortable as possible.

I have visited a very good friend of mine on 2 occasions now. I have found all the staff extremely friendly and caring, going that extra mile, nothing is too much trouble. The home itself is of a very high standard, and spotlessly clean. The rooms are lovely and homely. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
this home.

Excellent care was received for mum with really caring and helpful staff. Can not recommend them highly enough. The care and compassion we received when mum passed away was second to none and we felt supported and cared for during mum's stay there.

After a difficult start for my father, who was very poorly when he arrived, we cannot thank the staff enough for the care and support they gave both him and the family during his stay at New Meppershall. Their empathy, understanding and professionalism made his last few months so much more bearable
as he battled his cancer.
Thank you all for everything you did.
We will be forever grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This care home was only responsible for my mother-in-law for a month as she deteriorated quickly and needed palliative care. They did really well on keeping me informed and were ahead of the game with ordering meds for the syringe driver for example. They knew what they were doing at vast contrast to
the other home my M-I-L had been in. This meant I could relax and know that they were on it! When someone is dying some dignity is a must and they offered this as what was obviously their standard care and I would know as I am a nurse! I am so pleased she ended up here and my only regret is that I could not move her sooner because of covid! A very big thank you to all the staff you are all much appreciated by our family.
Reply from Sharad Saraogi, Director at New Meppershall Care Home

Thank you for your kind words, Eleanor. Whilst it is their duty, appreciation of their efforts means so much to them.

Dad was cared for at New Meppershall for five and a half years and we were very happy with the consistently good care he received. The staff are amazing - hard working and very caring. In Dad's last days it felt like they were our extended family, caring for us as well as Dad. We can’t thank them enough
for all they did for us all.

It was a great comfort to us to see what care and affection my mother received from the carers, nurses and office staff at New Meppershall. They also had time to listen to us as well when we needed to offload some of the stress that had built up prior to getting mum into the home. I cannot thank everyone
enough for their care and professionalism.
I know mum enjoyed the many and varied activities laid on. It was great to be able to see the pictures on the private social media page of her smiling and enjoying herself.

My Mother was transferred here after her previous care home went out of business. Well, they say blessings come in many packages. From day one my mother and all members of the family were treated with nothing but kindness, care and consideration for all our needs.
The rooms are well decorated and
well equipped for each persons needs and requirements.
My father visited my mother daily and was equally cared for, with refreshments and a cooked lunch if he required one. New Meppershall, is a well run, very clean and active place to be a resident in, if I ever needed nursing care, here would be my first choice.

I am very satisfied with the care both day and night. The staff are excellent and very caring. The home is well kept and clean and tidy. My wife is very settled in New Meppershall and she is stimulated by the individual care and activities. Whilst recognising the difficulties, greater oversight of personal
clothing would be appreciated.

I found the facilities well kept: both rooms and common areas were clean and organized. The staff were friendly and attentive to the needs of the residents. From the interactions I observed, it was evident that the staff knew the subtle needs of each individual. The staff also interacted among themselves
in a professional and co-operative manner. The overall atmosphere was welcoming.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Meppershall demonstrates acts of love each day in caring for and keeping the residents happy and engaged. This is especially poignant since my uncle who lives there, has no living relatives in the UK and we are so far away. Yet, through social media, we are able to see and participate in
the daily activities between residents and staff. Our uncle recently celebrated his 92nd birthday and we were part of the celebrations via a video phone call; as if we were right there face to face. Meppershell far exceeded our expectations. Keep up the good work!

Very pleased with the care received day and night. Staff are brilliant, home is very clean and tidy. Food is very good. Activities are varied and good fun. Resident is very happy every day and enjoys everything. Given her services we couldn't give at home. When visiting feel very welcome and asked to
join in activities. She loves the cats which live in the home too.

My wife was transferred to this care home from hospital in a very poorly and confused condition. The staff were very understanding and respectful. Due to the long battle she had endured she, unfortunately, was only at this care home from Friday to the following Wednesday when she passed away. In the
time she was there all members of staff were considerate, respectful, helpful and compassionate, not only toward my wife but to myself and other family members when visiting. Even at my wife's funeral, a member of staff attended to pay her respects.

Mum went to New Meppershall for a period of rehabilitation, from hospital following a fall at home. The aim was to get mum safe and confident with her new frame to be able to come back home.
Mum had never experienced a Care home before, but she settled after a day or two with the staff encouragement.
Mum really enjoyed the share lounges and the company of the other residents. The activities were fun and she loved the mother and toddler group who use the facility.
The staff were very good and nothing was too much trouble for them for the whole of mums 2-week stay.
We have achieved mums aim and she is now back home. Many thanks to.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My sister has been a resident of New Meppershall Care Home since February 2017 when she had suddenly become unable to live independently. There was little choice, so I was relieved and delighted to find New Meppershall. The home is clean and well cared for and the staff are professional, friendly and
helpful. They make my sister and her visitors feel welcome and show affection towards her and other residents. Although my sister's dementia makes her difficult, the carers treat her with patience and respect. She moved to a different room earlier this year giving her more space and her own en suite and she seems happy there. Activities for the residents have seemed a bit variable but I am pleased that a new team is being formed to improve the issue. New Meppershall is not the most convenient place for me to visit as I am in the next county, but I have found nothing to compare with this home which would be more accessible.

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.
