  • Meadow Grange Care Home, Dronfield
With many years experience in providing residential care, Meadow Grange pride themselves on offering a highly professional care service for older people, within a comfortable and homely setting.

When people have worked hard throughout their life and have been committed to helping others, they deserve extra cherishing. They need a home where individuality is emphasised, with staff who have time to give attention to small details, and where they have the choice of enjoying the company of like-minded fellow residents.

They offer up to 60 beds for people with residential needs. The home is converted school house and has a lovely Orangery for residents to relax in with views over fields and large back garden with seating areas and a raised pond. There are raised beds where the home grows vegetables to be used in the meals provided. There is a wide range of activities including one or two trips out a week in the mini bus owned by the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
If you are looking for a care home I would highly recommend Meadow Grange. Even though a little more expensive than others, the quality of care justified the extra cost.
The staff go above and beyond their duties to give the residents personal care to accommodate their needs. The home is highly maintained
with quality furniture, lovely gardens and outside seating for family and residents to enjoy.
The overall feel of the home is welcoming.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative has been resident in Meadow Grange Care Home for five happy years. During the whole of that time, he has had no complaints about anything. All members of staff are caring and considerate and work hard to ensure residents' needs are met. The home is kept very clean and well maintained to
a high standard inside and out. The food is excellent and there are always choices on the menu.
There are different and varied activities organised most days including a minibus for occasional day trips.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very clean, always smells nice. Staff are always pleasant and caring, doing everything to ensure residents are clean, well looked after and stimulated. Whenever I have visited there is always some sort of entertainment, often with residents taking part. I understand the food is good and varied (my partner
is not easily pleased!!).

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very kind, patient and understanding staff. A lovely, spacious and well maintained home.
The management and team leaders are very approachable and deal with any queries promptly.
The activities are many and varied and the activity coordinators very enthusiastic!
Non-residents are encouraged to join
in.
The standard of care appears to be very high. The receptionist is very friendly and helpful and deserves a mention.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home is in an excellent position, views from the lounges are over fields and there are patios where residents can sit, also overlooking fields.
There is also a good car park.
Televisions are in the rooms but there is a large one in the Television Lounge.
Maintainance of the home and grounds is
very good.
There are well organised activities most days and there is frequent very good entertainment.
Decoration is good with clear signs.
Rooms and lounges are deep cleaned frequently.
The home is well ventilated when appropriate.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident here since July 2017, she has fairly advanced dementia and I can only praise all the staff from the cleaning girls to the management and everyone between for the care and attention they give my mum. The activities and trips out are excellent too. A really caring friendly home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at Meadow Grange are fantastic. I feel really secure in the knowledge that my father is well looked after and is happy.


I'd like to see a more holistic approach to his health with more exercise and outside activities but I know the home tries to take the resident out frequently.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad has been at Meadow Grange for almost three years. He is always treated with kindness and dignity.
All the staff, management, carers, cleaners, caretakers are friendly and helpful both to dad and visitors. It has a homely feel and I always feel part of the Meadow Grange family when I visit.
All
rooms are spotless, the laundry service is excellent and there is a wide range of activities that are well organised. I cannot think of a better place for dad to call home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the carers, management, administrator, hotel services, gardener and maintenance staff are extremely caring, friendly, engaging, hardworking, diligent and compassionate.
Having worked as a community nursing sister for many years, Meadow Croft was always the care home I favoured. My mother moved
in seven months ago and my expectations of the care and facilities have been realised.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the 1st visit to look around the home and the initial interview with mum in hospital, my wife and I felt completely at ease with those involved. Of the six homes we viewed, Meadow Grange was by far the brightest and most inviting of all. We continue to be impressed at every visit and mum has settled
well and enjoys the social atmosphere among the residents. We are very much at ease knowing mum is enjoying the best care we could possibly have found.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.250)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.250) out of 10 for Meadow Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.958 for Meadow Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.958
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.292 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meadow Grange Care Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.167
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
