Review from John H (Resident / Service User) published on 29 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I think the facilities at Meadow House are excellent.
The staff are all very nice and friendly, I cannot complain in any way about them.
They are very attentive and always willing to help.
The cleanliness of the whole place is first class.
I think the activities are okay but would like to see more trips out.
This would stop people feeling so isolated.
All in all, I would say Meadow House is a very happy place to live and I personally have no complaint.
I would recommend the home to anyone.

A first class facility.

Review from Peter J W (Husband of Resident) published on 23 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My wife was recently rushed into hospital with a UTI. I was away at the time and had to rely on family members to travel 50 miles to attend the hopsital at gone midnight. By the time they arrived, two members of staff from Meadow House had already arrived and were assisting in making my wife comfortable. Clearly well beyond their working hours.

The report I got back was that without their devotion my wife could not have survived the night. They continue that care now my wife is back at Meadow House. I am eternally grateful to them both.

Overall Experience
Meadow House is my home, I feel very welcome here and safe. I can have everything that I want and one day with the support that I've been given by the staff I would walk out and come back to visit my friends that I've made in my time here.
Great activities, excellent physiotherapy, lovely staff, nice residents.
The manager is one of the nicest people that I ever meet.

Trips out are great fun and the home activities are excellent!

Overall Experience
I was very sceptical about using a care home before we got here but Meadow House has completely changed my mind.
The staff are kind, friendly and genuinely do care for the patient.

I would happily recommend this home.

A friendly, clean, and odour free environment with very friendly staff. Have been using the facility for over two years and have noticed lots of improvement in the recent months. Could do with more staff to assist with the physio activities.

Overall Experience

Good carers, good place, excellent facilities. My brother has progressed really well since being at Meadow House down to the dedication of all the staff. My brother always seems happy here. The food is good. The location of the home is lovely with field views. As a family member I'm always made to feel welcome. Free car parking.

Review from A H (Brother of Resident) published on 14 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Care, compassion, and friendliness to both residents and family members are the cornerstone of policy at Meadow House. This is a great place to be with the accent on the positives for everything. Although extremely professional, the staff are very friendly and provide encouragement to "join in" for residents and family alike. It is not surprising to see Meadow House in the "outstanding" care category. Absolutely love the place and the people, staff and residents.

Review from Julie K (Friend of Resident) published on 7 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I find that the home is very inviting, always clean and nicely decorated. The day I came they were going to have a Hawaiian Theme party in the evening. Nothing is too much trouble, I usually have lunch with my friend. My friend is very happy here as a resident, always telling me good things about Meadow House. The staff are all so friendly. Having had experience in nursing, I realise how much hard work goes into running a home like this to make it successful in every way.

All the staff are good fun. My first time in respite care and I'm enjoying it. The food is delicious I can have what I like. My bedroom is lovely. The games we play are good fun. I had a Spa Bath was the best ever. I look forward to coming back.

Overall Experience

My son loves it here. He always comes home with a smile on his face. He is always so well cared for and all his needs are met. The staff are so friendly and very helpful. They always walk around the home with a smile in their face. Myself and my son are very happy with Meadow House and would highly recommend. Just to make you aware my son is unable to write his name, but has helped me fill this form in.

Review from Danny S (Friend of Resident) published on 29 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have been visiting my friend at Meadow House for many years. Through my church I visit many care homes, but Meadow House is by far the most caring and carers interact with residents on a wonderful level - people are not neglected. Interaction is so important. As a visitor all staff are very pleasant with a lovely cheerful manner - never felt so comfortable as I do when I visit Meadow house. Thank you to all the staff and well done. You make a difference in such a positive manner.

I was very impressed when the staff said to me, we are here to care for your daughter, and we are here to support you too, that meant a lot. To know our daughter is happy gives us so much peace. We are made to feel so welcome when we visit. Meadow House is a wonderful place, and the staff are amazing.

Overall Experience

We received a lovely welcome from the very beginning. Surroundings are wonderful, spotlessly clean. Staff respond instantly to any issues. Our daughter loves being here now as a permanent service user, and used to enjoy her respite care. Peace of mind for us that our daughter is so well cared for and that we can visit at any time.
