The Meadows

Usually good, but monitoring fluid intake is problematic. Always arrive to find a full beaker, which suggests no-one has helped Mum drink it. Staff great but always busy.

Please could Andrew be moved to a bigger one when one comes up as he would like to have more of a outlook.

My Mum now has a permanent care placement in the Meadows in Didcot. The Meadows is both friendly and welcoming, from the receptionist Lily to the Manager Tobias, ably supported by Jackie. Mum is enjoying the variety of activities organised by Jan and Megan. Jan and Megan are always happy and show great empathy and understanding to all residents. The care staff are attentive and kind to the residents and supportive to family. So glad my Mum's new home is the Meadows, what a great team.

My mother has been a resident of the meadows for just under 2 years. The past year I would say she feels settled and safe and is vey happy. It took her a while to settle in because she missed her home, but all the staff made her feel very welcome and made the process easier. Mum enjoys the activities and its good to see her joining in and laughing and chatting to everyone. She was struggling at meals times, but the staff have done everything they can to help her enjoy her meals. The Meadows is very clean and well maintained and if I have any concerns I can talk to someone and I'm reassured that they will handle any concerns I have.

Fantastic support and welcome from Jackie, Tobias and his team. Only day 2 and my mother is very happy and feels at home already!

My father in law has been in The Meadows for almost five months now. He has settled in well. We can see how clean he is, how well he looks. He can be quite rude due to his dementia but Ruth and the staff are very good with him. Sorry I had to say Ruths name as she goes above and beyond for all the residence.

My father has been a resident for three months in this time we have found so much improvement in dad. He looks a picture of health gained weight. SO clean and well looked after. The whole team in Popp ward are excellent "angels"Ruth is outstanding with her communication skills which I made this dad in actual home really upset me. But when I visit I know I have made the right choice. Thank you all so much.

They absolutely deserve 5 stars if not more- thank you everyone. I am very, very grateful my Dad is in your care.

We had to put our dad in as an emergency. He has never bee happier. The staff have been marvellous. They are so caring and kind. The food is out of this world. It is always clean and tidy in the home. Dad is always clean and tidy when we see him. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. We as a family are very happy that dad is safe, happy and being looked after. Dad has been here a month now and can't thank you enough. Not meet management yet but my sister has.

My Father has been in the meadows for a month and the care has been excellent it's clean, the staff are kind, he enjoyed the food and loved the activities he often thought he was in a hotel. We worried that the would hate it but he said he was happy, comfortable and often thought he was on holiday. The kindness at the end towards the family showed true compassion and genuine care.

Above and beyond care for our mum who recently passed away from cancer and our dad who was a resident for over 2 years when diagnosed with vascular dementia. Their care for both was impecable.

I cannot praise Meadows staff enough for their love care and attention to both of my parents during their final years. I would thoroughly recommend them.

The Meadows Care home has given Mum a home from home life style. She loves it there & we are very happy with their care & affection for her. She is treated with respect & as an individual. As her medical condition has changed so has the help she receives. This is given in a calm & reassuring manner. The great variety of activities provided by the home & wonderful staff, have given Mum & us such enjoyment. We are always included in this inclusive home. We feel so fortunate to have her living at The Meadows.

The care home staff work extremely hard to keep my sister happy. My impression is that the carers and nurses are often under a lot of pressure. Perhaps additional carers and nurses would relieve some of the pressure and allow more precious one to one time with residents. The receptionist goes above and beyond and has helped many, many times. When she is on holiday we all notice the gap she leaves. Access via the front door is much harder at weekends and the evening because she is not there. The manager is always very helpful, polite and has high levels of empathy with the residents. He sets a good example and always does his best. The activities staff are very energised and work hard to keep residents entertained. It would be good if weekend activities could be increased. The deputy manager and registrar is very helpful and knowledgeable. She is a very good role model. Thank you for all that you do everyone.

The staff is well trained and professional. Mum is happy and always well kept. They go beyond their duty to ensure mums is safe and when ever we visit which is very oftern, mum is happy well kept doing activities, cleaned and looking very well kept. The staff are extremely friendly and management is superb. We cannot express how happy we are with the care home, simply professional, kind, and they go beyond to ensure mum is safe, we are kept updated of all that is happening. A big thank you to the staff and management for running the care home so professionally with compassion and skill.

Very happy with the Meadows.

In November, I was notified by Meadows' staff that my aunt by marriage and for whom I have POA, was unwell. The staff sought medical assistance and out of hours support attended. Her situation was assessed, I was notified and also attended. Fortunately my aunt recovered. The staff at The Meadows were wonderful and acted swiftly and appropriately, in line with my wishes.

We were impressed from day one. The staff are really careing and friendly. My mother is really happy in the home and has no complaints what so ever. The food is excellent and plentiful. The home is really clean and taken care of. We have been made very welcome and are impressed at the entertainment that is put on for the residents.

We needed to put my mother into respite are at short notice. The staff at the Meadows were very helpful in getting this sorted quickly and efficiently. Particular thanks to Tobias for his professionalism and help.

My mum has been on poppy ward for a number of years. The staff are respectful my mum is well looked after and generally seems quite happy. The cleaing staff on poppy are really nice and my mum gets on really well with them. My dad was also on poppy ward and could be a difficult person to deal with at times but the staff were really good with him he has since passed away and they were all very respectful to him and us as family.
