Residents are always well cared for. The staff are always friendly and chatty, not only to those they care for but also to the residents and relations. A variety of activities are arranged for the residents, which they thoroughly enjoy.

I visit regularly with my Mum to see my Auntie, I always see such excellent care every time. It is great to see that my Auntie can live nearly independently with all the lovely care and help she gets.

I cannot fault Meadow House one bit. It is a first-class care home. Since my daughter moved here in Jan 2025 she has improved dramatically. All the staff at Meadow House are brilliant and very caring. My daughter loves it at Meadow House. She is so much happier, it's lovely to see.

Overall Experience

My friend has improved from the day she moved. In the last home all she did was cry and she was left in bed, nobody talked to her. Her movement and talking have greatly improved and now smiles and is happy.

Review from Naomi C (Sister of Resident) published on 13 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I feel that I could run out of superlatives when it comes to describing Meadow House and all the staff there.
My sister has been a resident now for just over 16 years - the last couple of years have presented her, the staff and us a family new challenges - but what is ever more clear through out these difficult times is that we all work so very hard together to achieve the very best care outcomes for her.
My sister is advocated for as if she were one of their own and this is so helpful to us as a family - together we have been able to access a complex management review and we are finally getting there with some potential answers that will be beneficial to all involved in her care - especially her.

I feel that this is the sort of thing i would have wanted to read in a review when we were making our life changing decision to accept care all those years ago. We cannot fault any aspect of this wonderful place.

Overall Experience

In my experience of the time I have come to see my brother. I am extremely impressed with the care, dignity, compassion, of how the staff are with the residents. The feel of the home is "home from home", safe, comfortable. The care my brother gets is outstanding. It gives great comfort to know he is settled and a part of a family. The staff make the home a "home", I cannot fault it. Thank you for caring. All the activities, physio for the residents is outstanding.

Review from J P (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 December 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Meadow House is the most wonderful care home. The staff from the management all the way through the team are the nicest people ever. Everyone genuinely cares not only about the residents but their whole family. I always feel welcome by all. They treat my dad with kindness, empathy and dignity. Even on his bad days, their attitude does not change in fact they give home more love and care if that's possible.

After Dad was in hospital since July the night he came to Meadow House and since then we have slept knowing he is safe and cared for which is a massive weight of our minds.

Review from Nicholas G (Husband of Resident) published on 4 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My wife was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis around 18 years ago and unfortunately, it has been very aggressive and after our family and I cared for her throughout this time it became necessary for her to go into full-time residential care at Meadow House earlier this year. It was a very traumatic time for my wife, myself and our family.

My wife has now settled at Meadow House and is happy and this is down to the love, care and respect given by all of the staff, including kitchen, cleaning, caring, nursing, maintenance and management. My family and I have the greatest respect for you all and can only thank you for making this transition as best as it could possibly be.

Thankyou.

NG (Husband of resident).
