The team supports individuals with needs such as tracheostomy care, invasive and non-invasive ventilation, stroke rehabilitation, MSA, MND, Parkinson’s disease, COPD, spinal injuries, and end-of-life or palliative care. Each resident receives a personalised, clinically informed care plan reflecting their medical needs, preferences, and long-term goals.
Meadowside Residential Unit
The Meadowside residential unit provides complex residential care for individuals with long-term conditions, mobility challenges, and significant support needs that do not require 24-hour nursing. Staff promote independence, wellbeing, and meaningful engagement, helping residents maintain autonomy and a fulfilling daily life.
Care across both units is delivered by an experienced multidisciplinary team. Staff receive ongoing specialist training to ensure care remains safe, responsive, and evidence-based while building strong, supportive relationships with residents.
The centre works closely with families, respiratory specialists, community nursing teams, and other healthcare professionals to ensure continuity of care and strong clinical oversight. Alongside clinical expertise, the service prioritises comfort, emotional wellbeing, and opportunities for meaningful activity, helping individuals live as independently and fully as possible.

Best home that I have ever visited. Staff are amazing, management amazing. The care my husband has had from here is the best he's had since his accident 16 months ago, he's progressed so much since being here. Food and drink is very good.

I have lived in St Francis for twelve months now, I found it very difficult at first having to have people look after me and undertake my personel care and give up my independence and life style, however the staff have helped myself and my wife with the transition. Overall the staff are very caring and friendly, and the care given is excellent, the activities enable me to interact with assistance with other residents. Well trained staff and they let me have some homely items. I am and my wife also is very happy with everything at St Francis.

Walking into the building to be greeted by an amazing receptionist is a fantastic start.

I cannot speak more highly enough of Meadowside and St Francis. From the moment mum arrived, I knew she was in the best hands. The staff are amazing, kind and professional. They are genuinely caring. They have great compassion, bringing immense peace of mind to the family. The home is welcoming and a clean enviroment.They truly care for their residents. The only negative I have is the entry evening and weekends. The bell is not working, and you could be waiting quite a while till someone passes to gain entry.

I like Meadowside Care Home and have had other family members live there. But I feel that the home is tired all round. The staff are lovely, helpful and work hard. I feel more care needs to be taken in what food is given, and is what was ordered. Named clothing returned and not 'lost'. General...
I like Meadowside Care Home and have had other family members live there. But I feel that the home is tired all round. The staff are lovely, helpful and work hard. I feel more care needs to be taken in what food is given, and is what was ordered. Named clothing returned and not 'lost'. General decor is dark and needs brightening up. Visitors not to be left waiting to enter the building as no one answers the door bell.
