The staff at The Meadows Care Home include some very outstanding people. The atmosphere of the home is set by the caring and hard-working people. I believe the residents feel sheltered and loved. The difficulties face and overcome during Covid were monumental. The practical arrangements are good in every way. When I walked into it I thought this is the place for my partner! It's time.
I am very pleased with the care my wife is receiving. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

We have experienced good and bad times over the three and a half years Mum has been a resident. Probably the biggest problem is communication, which has been exaggerated over the last two years of covid. Clothing goes missing and never returns.

Very polite staff. Always helpful and always gets messages to my friend and keep me informed with any issues and covid updates.

We were very nervous about Mum going into a care home but after seeing how well she is being looked after, we needn't have been. Mum has said she likes it there and the staff are friendly and caring. So pleased we chose The Meadows and they had room for her.

Not much to say as haven't seen mum in her room for 18 months. Find this very sad.

I would like to use this opportunity to thank all the care staff, nurses and managers of the Meadows care home. During the pandemic, their patience with families trying to stay in contact with their loved ones has been outstanding. With their already busy schedules, they managed to remain upbeat and happy to answer questions. As a family with husband/dad/grandad being away from us has been very hard, but made easier knowing he is settled and happy. So thank you all.
From the staff at entrance office all very friendly and helpful with smiley faces. My mother has only been there for a short time, but on every visit, she is always happy and relaxed which is marvelous for us as a family. I can only say the staff are looking after her so well.

From the staff at entrance office all very friendly and helpful with smiley faces. My mother has only been there for a short time, but on every visit, she is always happy and relaxed which is marvelous for us as a family. I can only say the staff are looking after her so well. In this very strange time with covid 19, my visits to mum are in a very welcoming garden (each visit the weather has been kind.) I am very happy that we have chosen The Meadows for mum.
My partner and I are so pleased with how you have managed the lockdown period and your continuing care towards his mum. Your staff show dedication, love and thoughtfulness towards her, and we are so grateful. Thank you so much!

They have done an incredible job helping Mum get through covid-19 and come out the other side. They are dedicated, show real compassion and such loyalty to Mum, and we can't thank them enough. In my heart, I fell the carers are worth much more than they are paid, and their pay packet should reflect their wonderful qualities! Thank you!
Mum has been looked after really well at The Meadows. The staff are lovely, really kind and since she has been poorly, they have made her comfortable and looked after her really well.

The home is welcoming and light, with a pleasant view over gardens. The staff are friendly and seem anxious to help residents. The only issue is the lack of parking but you can park on the road. Overall very good home to have loved ones taken care of.

Everyone from the cleaning staff to the manager is eager to look after and help 24/7 and to make all residents and relatives feel part of a family.
I would have no hesitation in recommending The Meadows Care Home.

I have two family members looked after by The Meadows, our experience was very positive, caring and friendly. As family we were always made welcome all the time. I cannot fault the home or the staff at all.

There has not been a single visit when we have not been impressed with the level of care that our aunt has been getting. In most instances, the visits are random and not pre-arranged. Since living at The Meadows, our aunt's life has improved along with her health and wellbeing. She has a good appetite and is always presented and cared for beautifully. She gets good stimulation mentally and physically and within the constraints of her cognitive abilities, she is happy. Not bad for a 101 year old!.
Always offered tea, coffee biscuits etc.

Throughout this time she was extremely well looked after by a very caring team and I was always made to feel welcome whenever I visited.
Mum was always clean and the room was bright and cheerful.
Mum was unable to feed herself or walk but her needs were always met.
I always felt she was safe.
When a person has lived for 92 years and independent to the last. Those last two weeks of life became so very very important. The team at The Meadows were amazing, looked after Mum as if she was their own and gave us all the help and compassion we needed. They are a team and they work as one....
