Meadow Grange Care Home

Very good care home friendly staff overall brilliant care my grandad is at this carehome the staff are amazing the residents are alway happy and cheerful and everyday they are playing games or singing

Compared to other care homes i have experienced over recent years, Meadow Grange appears to be of significantly better quality. The management, care staff, other staff and volunteers seem to be very caring and supportive to all residents. The facilities are very good and there is a good range of activities and events.

My wife of 60 years has vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. Her spacious carpeted ensuite room is well decorated and furnished to a high standard. The staff demonstrate a high degree of professionalism delivered with kindness and a caring attitude. Meals are from a carefully prepared menu prepared to high standards by excellent staff. We visit regularly with flexibility as to timing and meet in one or more of the lounges. Staff are on hand to assist anyone needing a comfort break and coffee and tea with biscuits and cake are brought round mid-morning and afternoon. Regular entertainment is provided and mind and body are exercised by morning quizzes and chair-based exercises. Upon release from hospital, we needed to provide care with some stimuli to prevent my wife from continuing to becoming depressed and introverted. Since being admitted to Meadow Grange we have been relieved to see how she has been supported and encouraged and been given her life 'being' back.

Take fantastic care of mum - very kind and treat her with respect. The staff genuinely care for the residents. Home is in lovely surroundings, well-decorated, lots of activities, clean and not smelly!

The home is set in beautiful surroundings in the countryside with well kept gardens. The staff are very caring and attentive. Many have been there since my mother was admitted two and a half years ago. It is comforting to know that they are caring for residents 24/7. All staff are hardworking and obliging especially the entertainment team who keep the residents active both physically and mentally whilst constantly introducing new activities. The gardening staff are passionate about the garden management and involve residents in their activities. In all an excellent caring facility

It was such a difficult move for my mother from being so independent to bring in a care home with dementia. It was also stressful for the family and I can't speak highly enough of the care she has received at Meadow Grange. The staff are so kind and caring and the daily activities team is stunning! We never thought we would see mum participating in activities but somehow they managed this. She also does the chair exercises and loves the singing and the music! The setting is great with lovely grounds and a gardening team they is really passionate about creating a special place! Thank you to all the staff who make Meadow Grange such a lovely home!

My parents were cared for by the excellent caring staff here. Both myself and my family always felt welcomed and at home when visiting. The social life on offer for residents is both varied and thoughtful providing activities for the varying needs of individuals. The care given to both my parents at the end of their lives took both our wishes and theirs into consideration. We will always be grateful to the staff that they were so well cared for.

The care my mother-in-law is receiving is excellent. The staff are so skilled, patient and creative in finding ways to make life fun and interesting for residents and to build their skills and confidence. The lengths they go to in order to create opportunities for stimulation and enjoyment are commendable. They give us confidence and peace of mind, they let us know when my relative is having difficulties and how they are supporting her, finding personalised solutions. In the last 14 months, I have seen many upgrades to the building and gardens. There is lots of outside space to enjoy. The managers communicate well and have enabled me to stop worrying so much about my mum-in-law who is now very frail and confused, but thanks to them is able to access lots of activities and good food and company. I would also like to mention the opportunities for Christian worship which is very special for my relative.

Meadow Grange is one of the best care homes I have ever been involved with. In this instance, it was because my Mum was a resident. The care, physical, psychological and emotional is second to none for both residents and relatives. I have witnessed all staff not just doing their best but always going the extra mile, from daily activities to raising funds. It has the feeling of a second home and staff extended family. I could not have wished for a better place for my Mum to live in feel blessed I found it, Mum loved it, and I will continue to support it and visit.

My husband has been living at Meadow Grange for 3 years now and his vascular dementia has slowly worsened. During this time the care that he has received has been wonderful. The staff have always cared well and in the early stages he enjoyed the activities. Sitting outside was always great as it gave him new surroundings and fresh air. Sadly the pandemic made life difficult for visiting especially when we had to try to talk through a window but things gradually improved. Throughout this time Meadow Grange staff did a good job and at one time several members lived there for weeks to care for the residents. Sadly my husband is deteriorating but the care is still wonderful. I can’t thank them all enough.

I would certainly recommend Meadow Grange to anyone, they go that extra mile.

I find the carers and managers extremely friendly. My mum has been at Meadow Grange for one year and is happy and settled. It is nice to be able to go from her room and sit in the television room, which is decorated and furnished beautifully. Also, it's nice to go and sit in or outside the summer house - it has a lot to offer. I feel the standard of the meals needs to be improved and a bit better choice on the menu but I would say that is the only gripe I have got. I would like to see the meals improved.

Staff are plentiful and the care is always there with staff engaging with residents and ensuring visitors are updated about their relatives. Only comment my mother-in-law had to make was there wasn't enough variety of vegetables at lunchtime.

I have found Meadow Grange to be excellent right through the process of assessment and initial transfer through to the ongoing care of my mother. All the staff have a friendly and caring attitude and have made my mother feel very welcome. She has been encouraged to join in with the regular activities which are organised for each morning and afternoon. My mother has settled very well and is much better then when she moved in. Meadow Grange has excellent relationships with local health professionals.

Can't fault it.

All the staff, facilities and services are excellent. I believe that the quality of care is the very best available in any UK care home today.

Residents are all well know by all staff. A friendly environment with plenty of bright and light social spaces. The staff are keen to accommodate the many varied needs of residents and keep us very well informed of any issues that arise.

Both my parents were residents at Meadow Grange Care Home. My father passed away 14 months ago and my mum 2 weeks ago. In my dad's words, Meadow Grange was "the second best thing to my home". My sister and I are unable to fault any care that has been provided for our parents. All staff strive to get to know the residents really well and care is often very unique and individual. We always had 100% confidence in knowing that our parent's care was excellent. The activities provided at the home were daily and wonderful. They were both extremely happy at Meadow Grange and we cannot thank the staff enough.

Meadow Grange has a lovely, caring environment. All the staff remain cheerful and are ready and willing to help at any time.

We are happy Dad was able to spend the last 18 months of his life in a safe, friendly, homely environment as a valued member of the Meadow Grange family.
