Meadowcare Home

Mum has been at Meadowcare since December 2020, and despite Covid, has settled well. Staff have always contacted us with any concerns they may have had. I have been visiting Mum since March, and always found everyone both helpful and friendly. I have just attended a review meeting at the home, and it is clear that they have got to know Mum very well and have a clear understanding of needs. Residents are viewed as individuals, all with their own special needs. As a family, we are very happy with Meadowcare and feel it is the right place for Mum.

My mum is happy and always clean and tidy.

Staff always helpful and friendly. Home itself spotless well kept uncluttered. Mum seems happy and well fed always commenting plenty to eat and drink.

I am very happy about how you are looking after my sister. She is in a lovely place. The people are so lovely and friendly; they are very brave people. My heart goes out to them, God Bless.

The home is very pleasant and everytime I visit, there is a good atmosphere. The staff are very friendly, attentive and energetic showing a great degree of care and patience with residents. The admin side has improved in the last year and is now very efficient. Meetings are held with family and friends of residents every three months who actively engage on a wide range of matters relating to the home. Detailed care plans and records are kept up to date and can be reviewed at any time.

I can't find any other than pride. They have cared for my wife for 12 months - she has dementia. They are experts in this field. Brilliant.

I am very happy with Meadowcare Home and happy to leave my husband in such excellent caring hands. I know the staff truly love their work and are really dedicated. All of the staff, nurses, carers, chefs, domestics, laundry ladies and I must not forget the wonderful activities ladies who enjoy entertaining the residents with such fun!) are one big happy team, who all work together well whilst there. I very often hear the praise. We are all one big happy family. This also relates to the resident's families and friends.

Our father's care and wellbeing is extremely good due to the outstanding staff and lovely carers. When we visit, the staff can't do enough to make us welcome and always give us refreshments. When we leave, we are grateful for the knowledge our father is safe and getting the best care, day and night. Our mother's short stay made our lives easier and know she was peaceful at the end.

Couldn't ask for our dad to be treated any better. Staff are so kind and caring. They were brilliant with our mum who was with Meadowcare Home for eight months and was treated with the care and respect she deserved despite our Mum's aggressive state of mind. Truly wonderful place. The staff treat residents like family, they also give us the support we need.

My father has been a resident here since 2017. So was my mother who sadly passed away in December last year. The care my parents have received in this home has been amazing. The staff are all devoted to the residents and their compassion is exemplary. My father's dementia leaves him unable to know that my mother has gone. The patience and love shown to my dad leave us, as a family, happy that our father is so well looked after when we can't be with him.

My stepmother has been in residence at Meadowcare Home for 3 and a half years. She has always been well looked after and all the staff show a kind and caring attitude. The whole atmosphere is good, caring and the needs of all the residents are met as far as possible. I would highly recommend the home to anyone.

My husband has been in Meadowcare for 5 months with severe dementia. I visit most days so am very familiar with the home. It is literally run as a family. Every individual is known and cherished. The activities and stimulation levels are great. I am so grateful for the love, care and attention they show my husband and me.

The manager and staff are so welcoming and open to the care provided. They all made my Nan, Mum, and brothers feel at ease.

Nothing was ever too much trouble. We were always welcomed with a smile and the staff took pride in getting to know us and him and we joined in with the activities with the residents too.

Thank you again for everything you did for my Grandad.

Mum reached the point where she needed to be cared for on a full-time basis and Meadowcare Home was recommended. I contacted them and instantly had a feel-good factor after speaking to one of the management who was clearly experienced and understanding of my Mum's and families needs. There was, fortunately, a space available and Mum moved in very quickly.

The main asset this care home is the staff. Without fail, all the staff were cheerful, helpful and, most importantly, genuinely caring. This made a big difference knowing Mum was in a good home. We also some entertainment being provided on a regular basis and their in-house cooking facilities meant we could ask for food that Mum would like.

I would not hesitate to recommend this care home if you want to ensure a loved one is looked after. The only negative we had was parking was not always straightforward at certain times of the day, not a fault of the home but meant you would sometimes have to allow a bit of time to find a place.

Alzheimer's is a dreadful debilitating disease and if the law was different, we would never have wanted to reach the stage of needing to go into a dementia home. That said, Meadowcare provided an exceptional service in sad circumstances. The staff really care and are incredibly responsive. They recruit happy staff with a sunny disposition which makes a real difference. The team genuinely work as a team under strong, fair and professional leadership. Highly recommended.

My aunt has lived at Meadowcare Home for 7 months now having had a long protracted hospital admission. She has a long history of issues with her mental health and now dementia, but has settled incredibly well at Meadowcare. Whenever I visit she appears happy and content. The staff are caring and compassionate in their approaches to residents and staffing levels seem good. I have also been pleased with the variety of activities available to her.

For example, I have witnesses residents becoming very distressed (due to their dementia) on several occasions and the staff are very good at both calming their anxieties and diverting their attention.

It is reassuring to know my mother is being cared for in a homely environment.

My mother and I viewed, and rejected a number of nursing homes before this one. This was the first that we felt confident would provide the care we wanted for my father.

The manager showed us around and made a very positive impression on Mum and me. She was energetic, warm, enthusiastic and it was obvious that she cared very much about the residents. She had met Dad the day before and seemed to have a good understanding, from that brief meeting, what kind of man he was and what made him tick.

The room was big and clean, nicely decorated and had a lovely en-suite. The corridors were clear and uncluttered. Every member of staff we encountered on our tour smiled and said hello.

The home isn't everything we were looking for, but like most things in life, we felt we had to be prepared to make some compromises. I'm pleased to say that our first impressions and instinct were right, and we have no regrets about placing Dad in this home.

I was recommended Meadowcare nursing home by the discharge team at Southmead Hospital in Bristol. I went for a viewing. Directly as I walked through the door, there was a lovely ambience. I was greeted by friendly happy faces, who were very helpful. I was taken to the bedroom that my husband could occupy. It was completely repainted, with bed linen and curtains to match, very pleasing. I then went to the communal area, where residents were clean and happy. I knew this was the place I could trust my husband to. After nearly 7 weeks at Meadowcare I have not been disappointed, his every need is attended to by a very special team. They keep me informed of everything I should know regarding my husband.
