Review from Peter G (Brother of Resident) published on 16 May 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Despite the huge strain Covid impressed on the staff at Meadow House, their care did not fall short. As soon as able all the activities resumed and I am amazed at all events that are happening at the home. Difficult times are all around, however, Meadow House does not fall short in it's care.

Review from Christine P (Respite Resident) published on 29 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I went here for a week's respite. First time I have been in a care home. Well, what can I say. I can not praise this home enough. 5 stars and above on everything. The care I received was above and beyond perfection. The dedication and commitment from every member of staff were magnificent I could have not asked for more. The food was 5-star. Every meal was cooked and presented perfectly, which was what you would expect In a 5-star hotel. The housekeeping and cleaning staff worked so hard and everything was spot on. The carers made me so comfortable I felt part of the family they could not do enough for me you felt like a friend rather than just a resident passing through. Made me so happy as I was quite worried about going for respite, but your care and dedication to me meant so much. Head office should feel proud and honoured by what the team at Meadow House have achieved. Thank you to the handyman who also went out of his way to help. I thank you all. I will return.

Overall Experience

The care provided for my daughter is exceptional in every assistance she receives. She has been a resident for over 13 years and the whole staff knows how to handle her very complex moods. We are so grateful that she is so well looked after as we then have less to worry about. I can't praise them enough, I love them all.

I have found that nothing is ever too much trouble. The staff are so friendly and it feels like home from home. She is always clean and well looked after. She has been so much happier in herself since being here. Well done to all the staff.

Review from Maureen W (Mother of Resident) published on 20 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

As always I have no complaints at all. The staff have looked after my son exceptionally well. Even when I'm not able to visit they always keep me informed about his welfare, it's a great relief for me not to have to worry about him. As I've said many times before Meadow House should be the benchmark for every type of care home, with an emphasis on home because it is. All of the staff deserve medals.

Review from James F (Next of Kin) published on 17 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My aunt had the very good fortune to spend the last few years of her life at Meadow House. She was treated with the greatest level of care, respect, affection and dignity by all the team there from the moment she arrived right up to the point that she died last October in her room. Living in Meadow House, she had the benefit of having family members living nearby, of course, we couldn't always be with her, but we soon realised that she had a new sort of family unit all around her of the numerous staff and the other residents. Those last few years were the best, happiest and healthiest times I had witnessed of her life since the death of her partner. I give thanks for those years, and on her behalf to the lovely people who live and work at Meadow House.

Review from Peter W (Husband of Resident) published on 20 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My wife has been a resident at Meadow House for over ten years and during that time I have seen it improve -both the building and the staff. However, it is not the bricks and mortar that make this place an excellent place for her to be but the staff and management who are exceptional which is confirmed by the number of awards they now have as 'carers'.

Overall Experience
Meadow House has been the best place for my daughter. Everyone in the house are kind, caring and have made my daughter feel so at home in Meadow House.

Management and staff are fantastic, they take time to listen to me and made me feel as though my daughter is a real person with needs and care, I cannot fault any part of Meadow House. I am delighted that my daughter was fortunate to get a placement in such a lovely home. Warm, friendly and spotless.

Review from Thomas O (Husband of Resident) published on 8 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My wife has a brain bleed 4 years ago in December. She has lived in 5 care homes in that period. Meadow House, in my wife's words, 'is another world'.

It's very clean, does not smell, the food is great and all the staff take the time to talk to her and make sure she's happy and comfortable. Pity she did not come to Meadow House in the first place.

Our son is happy and content living at Meadow House. The staff are all very good and show love and support to all the residents. They always make us welcome when we visit too. It's been a difficult 2 years due to COVID, but we've been able to visit our son through the window, in the pod and outside. Our son moved in nearly two years ago during COVID and with all the love and support from staff he has settled in well.

I visited my friend at Meadow House Nursing Home the staff were brilliant. It was the first time visiting since the pandemic and the welcome was so loving. My friend was so happy they had a singer in the garden and everyone was having such a wonderful time. Meadow House by far is not just a nursing home it’s like walking into your own home. The staff, manager, admin and the activities are the best well done everyone, you're so amazing.
