Review from Suzanna P (Friend of Resident) published on 4 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have visited Meadow House NursingHome since it first was opened. A friend of mine was helped here whilst his MS worsened. At the open day a very happy and vibrant occasion, Saturday 11/5/19, my opinion was further cemented. No fuss-service as normal and I was struck by how the carers/supporters were so "in tune" to the needs of their residents that when a bell rang for help, four people quietly left the proceedings without any eye has profoundly/complex learning and physically disabled so I have seen many residential units and hospitals - this one is fantastic. I will be speaking to the Council as to how I can go about path improvement to Meadow House. I walked and had to go on the main road when the path runs out. Those walking or in a wheelchair - dangerous access to the town.

Review from Tracy M (Husband of Resident) published on 20 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Very satisfied with the care provided with my husband's respite care. Nothing is too much trouble and keeps you informed if there is a problem ie fall etc.

It is a lovely home, which well deserves its rating. I will recommend it if anyone requires a nursing home. It is like a home from home.

Overall Experience

The management and staff at Meadow House have created a warm, friendly and caring environment for the residents. I personally witness the residents treated with friendship and respect by all the staff who interacted with them. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that my mum is being cared for by such wonderful people. Everyone I saw at Meadow House really does care about the residents.

Review from Juliette W (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My Mum has been a resident for about a year and she needs 24-hour care but has been treated with dignity, friendliness and excellent care since she came to Meadow House. My Mum experienced a severe brain injury, and as a family, we were unsure how she would progress, but since being a resident here she has improved continuously. The level of care and amount of resident involvement cannot be faulted. An excellent care provider.

Meadow House is such a lovely nursing home. I can not recommend it enough. My Mum has improved tremendously since she has been here. My Mum is in very safe hands and I feel so relieved there was a room available when she needed it.

My sister-in-law is looked after how I would want to be looked after with dignity and by friendly helpful caring staff and nothing is too much trouble for them. I feel that my sister-in-law is in a very safe and friendly environment.

I can't praise the staff enough. Everyone is very friendly to her and her family.

Management and staff could not have been more helpful. In the height of our most stressful time, they made making decisions for mum much lighter to undertake. Such a blessing to know mum is in safe hands.

Overall Experience

Such a welcoming home here at Meadow House. As mum's primary carer it was such a hard decision to move her into residential care but the staff here have made the transition so gentler. She is an individual here whose voice is heard. The care team have been amazing with her and I can now rest knowing she is in safe hands. Thank you all at Meadow House.

Overall Experience

Went to Meadow House for a Monday visit to see my friend, I always commend the home as it is always clean, friendly and very professional state throughout. We also took part in a quiz in the afternoon, it was great to see what the residents knew knowledge wise and great to see them in a relaxed environment, this was conducted in an excellent way. We always come away from there thinking what a great place.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank this amazing home enough. My daughter comes here for respite while I went on holiday, the staff went above and beyond. Outstanding doesn't come close - this care home has the most amazing caring staff I have ever come across. Nothing is ever too much trouble for any member of staff here, and for that, I can't thank this wonderful home and the amazing staff enough.

Overall Experience
I have recently been into hospital and I have missed the home (my home) and the staff from Meadow House.
Whilst I was in the hospital I was visited by some of the staff and I feel this is my family and missed it so much.

I am back at Meadow House, the home where I belong and want to stay.

Overall Experience

My husband is a resident at Meadow House after he suffered a major brain injury. All the staff here are very good with him. He receives physiotherapy support and after 5 months of him being here, he has improved. My husband is happy and is well looked after and I am always made welcome here. The staff help us with translation as well.

Review from GM (Sister of Resident) published on 5 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
In my experience, this home is unwelcoming and unfriendly. There is no-one to greet you at the door and visitors are often unsure where to go. The office door is usually closed and you feel you cannot enter. The manager is unapproachable and I have felt uncomfortable sharing personal information with the admin staff. Staff around the building stare at you rather than help or acknowledge you. Although clean, the home increasingly smells of urine.

In the last few months, the home has started to resemble an old people's home in both decor and activities provided.
