I have found Meadow House excels in every aspect of caring for my relative. Staff are extremely kind, helpful and cheerful.

My sister is happier here than she has been for years and my family and I are ever grateful for her care.

Overall Experience
The staff at Meadow House are excellent in all aspects in the care of my aunt. With our family members across the UK, the whole team couldn't be more helpful in ensuring we are able to be in touch with my aunt.

I am so pleased for my aunt to be able to be at Meadow House as I know she is also very happy there.

Meadow House Nursing Home cared for my brother for around 4 years and I cannot fault the time, effort and patience of the staff at all levels and at all times. I would recommend Meadow House to anyone seeking such care without hesitation.

Review from Abigail G (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 December 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My dad had a very rare neurological condition. Whist at Meadow House the manager and her team went to extreme lenghts to learn and understand about this condition and gave care second to none. Not only was the nursing care outstanding, the everyday human kindness and extra special warmth that Dad received was too. On days I could not visit, I never worried because everything was in hand. He was clean, warm and, above all, loved.

Reply from Joanna Jankowska, Manager at Meadow House Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I will pass on your compliments to all of my team. It is a privilege to be able to look after your dad.

Review from Sharon A (Resident / Service User) published on 13 October 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
All the staff have treated me with high respect and dignity. There was nothing, when I asked, classed as too much. The physio department has helped me hugely. I have improved both mentally and physically since being here. The staff have commented on my improvement. I am eternally grateful to have been placed here because I felt I was a person and not just a paying guest.

I have achieved a lot and I am very proud of myself for my achievement and that's all thanks to the support from all the staff, from housekeeping, laundry, nurses, kitchen personnel, carers and management.

My brother moved to Meadow House from London. From before he arrived the staff were excellent and covered everything. Since his arrival, things have got even better. Their goal is to improve the quality of his life and they god about this with empathy and genuine care. Top marks to all concerned - no reservations!

Review from T G (Friend of Resident) published on 9 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very lovely and welcoming care home with a homely feel to it. Staff and management are always happy to help. Due to COVID-19, I have been unable to visit my friend who resides at Meadow House, but the home has always been very good at arranging video calls and socially distanced visits. Would highly recommend.

Review from Levanda N (Resident / Service User) published on 17 August 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Meadow House to me is my home. I have lived here for ten years and I can only express the care given to me has been top rate. From the domestics, cleaners, care staff, nurses and management. I am a retired nurse and of course, am aware of what care is given etc. I can find no fault and can write this review with honesty and praise. A home willing to go the extra mile.

Reply from Joanna Jankowska, Manager at Meadow House Nursing Home

Thank you so much, for your kind words. We will pass them on to all the staff who I know do appreciate it. We are also honoured to care for you.

Review from D W (Husband of Resident) published on 1 July 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The home is well managed the staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere in the home is calm, clean and welcoming and the residents seem content. There are organised activities and all are encouraged to take part. The only problem seems to be in employing a physiotherapist.

Reply from Joanna Jankowska, Manager at Meadow House Nursing Home
Dear D W,
Thank you very much for your review, and discussion we had regarding the activities.

I would like to give you an update that we have managed to employ a physiotherapist who will be starting on the 6th July 2020.

Review from Geoffrey H (Resident / Service User) published on 24 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Staff here are excellent in their interactions with the residents. This I have observed upon my stay here. I have observed staff acting caringly and professionally at all times. I enjoy my stay here at Meadow House because of the extremely good care of the residents. Everything I have observed is of high standard both cleanliness and professionalism. I would rate the level of care given a 5-star rating as this is my true account of my time here and what I have observed.

Review from G D (Husband of Resident) published on 11 March 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My wife was in the care of Meadow House from 1997 following a stroke. First in daycare until 2013, when full-time residential care was needed. Throughout this period she was treated with kindness and consideration by all the staff and had first-class nursing care. I cannot speak too highly of Meadow House on its entire staff.

Overall Experience

Meadow House staff, at all levels, excelled themselves with thoughtfulness beforehand and the eventual specialist care for our daughter during a difficult family situation. They were attentive and responsive to all of her needs and took good care of her clothes and possessions. We applaud their expertise, humour and consideration of the whole family and dogs.

Review from L N (Resident / Service User) published on 19 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I came to Meadow House 8 years ago, and I had no plans for life, to be honest, I had really given up on the future. I had to be hoisted, I had no mobility and was morbidly obese. All I could do was watch TV and sleep. Now 8 years on I love my life, I love Meadow House and all that it has given me. I do arts and crafts and I go to a weekly weighing class. I have lost two and a half stone and am mobile with a frame. Management and staff have given me a purpose in life.
