My friend was on the waiting list for 6 months. Regrettable but so worth it. 5 star home with excellent care and staff are good, kind and friendly to residents and visitors. Food is excellent and the home manager is very approachable and always happy to help and chat. This is how care homes should be. Price in the medium range but the care is first class. This is a proactive care home with good quality volunteer group providing extras and company for residents. Staff who notice how residents are and report suggestions to management and/or friends and family so together, we can make residents lives as good as they can be.
Mum has been in the home for 3 and a half years. She hates making a fuss but I feel I can go to the people in charge and they will always assist.

We can not thank the staff at The Meadows, for the care, kindness and patience they showed our dad during his last months at The Meadows. He was always kept busy with activities, something different every day which meant he had a quality to his life that he would not have had should he have stayed at home. He was safe, he enjoyed the food and nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff, you were always met with a friendly face whatever time of day you arrived. Sadly his illness took hold very quickly and he became low but the staff were persistent in keeping him active and joining in, he became very difficult but he was always treated with respect. Towards the end of his life, he was treated with such kindness and dignity, that meant a lot to us knowing he was never on his own. The staff kept us informed of how things were as the end drew near. He was peaceful and pain-free. We could not have asked for anymore. Thank you.

Although my mother was only a resident in the nursing wing of The Meadows for five months, she was treated in a caring and dignified manner by all the excellent nurses and carers staffing Primrose. Unfortunately, she did not choose to embrace the facilities and ethos of the home enough to enjoy her time there, having made up her mind that she did not want to live any longer than her 97 years and despite the best care and attention of the staff seemed to give up on life and sadly died on 26th August 2016. The staff were a great comfort to me in the final weeks too.
My mother has dementia and is quite challenging at times but the staff are so nice and kind and go out of their way to make her life as happy and comfortable as possible. The Meadows go to great lengths to give residents plenty of things to do.

The Meadows Care Home I think is a very well-run home regarding looking after the patients. The staff are all kind and helpful.

My father, brothers and sister would like to thank all staff who helped look after my mum in the short time she spent at the Meadows. She was looked after with compassion and dignity and for this we thank you. We are sure that due to the exceptional care given during her short time with you she gained a bit more time with us. This was priceless. Please keep up the good work you all do for your residents. Thank you again on behalf of our ever grateful family.
The home has done a lot for me. When I came here I had the full sling hoist. I could not walk and I also had a catheter and I could not do much. Now I can walk with a frame. I do not have a catheter any more and can take an interest in lost of things especially activities.

We as a family would like to thank everyone at The Meadows for making mum's last few years very happy. She was always clean and well cared for and treated with great dignity.
