Review from Edd C (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 18 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am the brother-in-law of a long-term resident of Meadow House. I try to visit with my wife as much as I can and when I do I am always heart-warmed by the care, the atmosphere and the warmth shown to my sister-in-law. My last visit coincided with the annual summer fete - the effort and time it takes to pull an event like this off is huge! People still give so freely their time when they must be worn out from either running the home, running events or giving care. My wife and in-laws visit weekly, and we all feel that this wonderful place and the staff and residents are an extension of our family.

Thank you very much, Edd for such a lovely review.

Review from Rebecca H (Friend of Resident) published on 10 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We were invited to our friend's 60th birthday party. The home put a lovely afternoon on for her. She had a singer, a photographer and a delicious buffet. The staff went out of their way to make sure she enjoyed herself and also her guests were looked after. The home is very clean and inviting, we sat with a few other residents whilst we waited for our friend. The staff had put a music channel on for them and they were all singing along.

Many thanks for a great afternoon and for making us feel welcome.

Review from A T (Friend of Resident) published on 23 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I visited our dear friend on her 60th birthday. What a fabulous event! Wonderful singer, buffet and photographer. But what stood out to me was the genuine care that the staff gave to make this an amazing birthday for my friend. Assisting her up to dance, watching her closely in case she needed help with anything at any time. I left with a very warm feeling that the people who care at this home are genuine.

Amazing staff! Well done and thank you all.

Review from P I (Sister of Resident) published on 22 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Well, what can I say about these remarkable people? Their total dedication to the people they look after is outstanding, each person in their care are treated as individuals and their care needs met always. Their manager is remarkable and goes up and beyond with her team to make the people they care for feel special and loved. My sister had a truly wonderful 60th birthday party in March, it was just so lovely and memories were made. I can’t thank you enough.

Review from L B (Mother of Resident) published on 19 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been there since 1997 in that time she has been looked after with all the love and care they can give fiscally and mentally, she is not an easy patient but they never fail to do right by her, keeping myself and my son well informed about all situations she couldn't be in a better place. She is well-fed and kept clean and as happy as she can be.

Meadow House is a lovely and welcoming home. Staff are always friendly and available to support. The home is well-managed and residents always appear happy and have lots to do. It had a friendly atmosphere when visited and staff appeared to put residents first.

I visited Meadow House care home today in Swaffham and what a lovely, homely, happy care home. There was such a lovely cheery vibe in there. The staff were friendly and the home was beautifully clean and well equipped.
One staff member in particular was very informative, passionate and friendly!

A great experience.

Overall Experience

I have always found Meadow House Nursing Home excellent in all areas of the home home, nothing is too much trouble for you. They always support you in your wishes. Especially music, live or karaoke, they're great. The exercises in the activity centre are good, cycling, boxing, weights, using the tablet and 10 pin bowling). I loved cooking on a Tuesday morning for us to eat at lunchtime. I like quizzes.

My husband has recieved exemplary care for the many years that he has been a resident at Meadow House Nursing Home.

He is treated with kindness and dignity and although he is unable to take a active par in many of the activities now he is always encouraged to take an interest in the going on at Meadow House Nursing Home.

Review from L N (Resident / Service User) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My time at Meadow House has been a wonderful journey. 12 years ago, I arrived at Meadow House knowing no one, extremely depressed and immobile. In fact there was a feeling that my massive chair wouldn't get through the door way.

Now 12 years on, I no longer am consigned to a wheelchair, have lost half my bodyweight, 34 stone to 17 stone, I use a stick and no frame. I have bought a scooter for going to town, I am now nearly complete with a sponsored walk for McMillan nurses. Meadow House is my home and I love it.

Review from J R (Friend of Resident) published on 3 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A friend of mine moved into Meadow House just over two months ago, and a few key members of staff have helped him settle in so well. They are there for him always, and he is so happy. He has a really good relationship with the activities coordinator. Seeing my friend happy and settled tells me he’s in the perfect place.

Review from Sam L (Friend of Resident) published on 26 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Such a lovely place. Always clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and helpful. My friend, who lives here, is happy and well taken care of. They also speak highly of the home and are always doing activities and keeping busy. It has more of a homely feel to it rather than a care/nursing home. Very nice place.

After working in a nursing home and having a bad opinion about care homes, coming here made me change my opinion. The level of care, the quality of food, the amount of activities is amazing. Nothing is too much. Thank you for your amazing work and homely place to stay.

Review from Sarah T (Aunt of Resident) published on 14 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I truly can not believe the progress my nephew has made since being at Meadow House. The care is outstanding, you can feel how friendly and happy the home is from the minute you walk through the door. Everyone is welcoming and the staff always make time to let me know how he is doing. In 2 months he has gone from being in bed all the time to sitting in a chair and never being in his room! He is joining in with things and enjoys joking with the staff. He has even had a bath and agreed to have more which is a miracle! I can not thank them enough for improving his quality of life so much in such a small amount of time.
