Meadowcare Home

She is now safe, settled, and calls it home.

From the moment I met Francis, I knew my Mum would be cared for the way we would want her to be. Francis, Grindle and the whole team at MeadowCare are like angels! The way in which they conducted themselves to us (as the family) and to Mum was that very special combination of professional but also personal. I feel so lucky to have found this home where Mum lived out her final years. They are all so kind. I don't think I can articulate well enough how wonderful they were. Mum went into the home with challenges, not once did anyone make us feel that she was a pain or that they couldn't cope. They worked with us to help her be as settled and comfortable as possible. I really felt as though we were a team, trying I get the best help for her. We were lucky enough to get CHC funding for Mum which is why I have chosen "Don't know" for value for money in the rating. I highly recommend this home.

Mum was cared for at Meadowcare Home for six years, and during that time we truly felt that we became part of their family.The staff consistently went above and beyond, not only in caring for Mum but also in making us feel welcome. They took the time to get to know her as a person, understand her quirks and provide care that reflected who she was. Throughout those six years, the team were always available and approachable, communicating openly with us. We always felt we were on the same side, working together to make sure Mum received the best possible care. That care and compassion were especially evident at the end of Mum's life, when they treated her with the utmost dignity, respect and kindness, while supporting us as a family. We cannot praise the team highly enough. They are true professionals with genuine warmth and compassion, and we will always be grateful for everything they did for Mum and for us.

It's important that mum is happy and well cared for and that's exactly what Meadowcare provides. Mum has only recently moved into care and all staff, carers and activity team are excellent treat mum with a smile, respect and dignity. The quality and variety of food and entertainment is also excellent

Excellent service the staff are always friendly and helpful. They look after my father with dignity and care and always willing to help out. The care home is always clean and tidy. My father is very well looked after.

My sister became a Meadowcare resident at very short notice. She was immediately made to feel welcome and loved. When she arrived she had various health problems, could barely walk and was almost non-verbal. In a few months her health has improved and her mobility and speech are very much better. She receives nothing but kindness, love and respect from the staff and I have the freedom to visit whenever I want to

My dad moved into Meadowcare home earlier this year suffering from advanced cancer and also dementia that could make him quite agitated and challenging. The team at Meadowcare made him (and myself and my husband) welcome from the start and showed him nothing but kindness and respect and they were clearly expert in the type of care that he needed. The home seems very well managed and I had an early care review meeting with the manager who was able to talk to me in detail about all aspects of my dad's care. She and her team were always very responsive to emails and phone calls and we always felt welcome when we visited. All the staff, from reception to nursing, care and activities staff, got to know us very quickly. They all do a really hard job but with enthusiasm, professionalism and energy. My dad sadly died in June and, again, everyone in the home was so kind and made it as easy as possible for me. I would certainly recommend Meadowcare as a caring and professional home.

Thank you!

Having a loved one suffering with dementia so that they can no longer live outside a care home is difficult, and finding a home where you feel they are cared for and supported take the sadness away a little. We, my bothers and I feel we have found that and more at Meadowcare. This is the second home that my father has stayed in, and the most important thing that stands out at Meadowcare is the staff, they know dad well and treat him with respect, kindness and understanding. Often when visiting I am told about something he has said or done, or just how he's been since my previous visit. He's not a great one for activities, but is included when he can be persuaded. Meadowcare have designated activity staff who work with a group of individuals on a one to one. I don't worry about him getting washed, or dressed, hygiene, or tidiness of his room because everything is always as you hope whenever I visit, and I rarely visit the same days each week. The staff welcome and are interested our whole family, and when my elderly mother visits she is cared for too.

My personal experience is; the service provided is very impressive. Both the staff and Management are dedicated and very profesional. With regards to the facilities, they are modern and very user friendly.

My sister has been a resident at Meadowcare for nearly 4 years, and in all that time we (her son, her other sister and myself) have been more than satisfied with every aspect of the care provided. Meadowcare is a home we would recommend to anyone seeking excellent care for a loved one.

An excellent experience - now entering its forth year. As Meadowcare only has residents with various stages of Dementia and Alzheimer's, this appears to have created a centre of excellent where all the staff have a good understanding of the 'up and down' nature of the illness. The care provided to my mother by the nurses is outstanding and the management very approachable. First class!

The family has been so pleased with the care mum has received at Meadowcare Home. The staff are all amazing so patient, caring and positive. There is plenty of activities and entertainment and she has made firm friends. She has also regained weight and mobility. We are always made to feel welcome and involved.

So lucky to find Meadowcare Home for my dear wife. Meadowcare felt like a home and not institution. Diane's room sunny/bright with a suite facility, house always warm and clean and what a lovely caring staff. My wife nicely dressed each day for her day in the social room. Two wonderful social and entertainer ladies who constantly endeavor to stimulate and exercise residents. Management always very friendly and I was always made to feel at home 10/10

I feel she is safe and secure and well looked after, which is a great relief to us all.

My mum was given the utmost professional care during the end-of-life care at this wonderful nursing home. From the moment I arrived on my initial visit, I was made to feel so welcome and this view was sustained by the actual experience. Warm, attentive, diligent staff. Inspiring activities, comfortable communal areas and bedrooms. I highly recommend Meadowcare as a place where care is not just a word.

One minor issue is that you can be stuck inside or outside the front door, waiting to be buzzed in or out. The bigger issue seems to be delays getting out.

Everyone you meet at the home is very friendly and happy to see you, which is nice. I always feel welcome when I visit my relative. The newsletter is always full of fun and interesting activities which are carried out monthly. My relative is very happy staying there and much prefers it to the place where she was before.

Throughout the year the staff at the care home have done an excellent job caring for mother, who can be a handful at times. That's a lot to do where being in charge and not liking people telling her what to do. She has lost the power in her legs and can't get around, it's a real downer. Mum's always been capable being a here, there, everywhere person. It's a real bane for her to comprehend.

My mother has settled in really well. The staff have obviously taken time to get to know her and there is a really family feel to the home. Carers are friendly and they are quick to respond to my mother's needs.
