Meadow Grange Care Home

My mother has been in the care home now for 6-7 weeks and I visit her practically every other day. She is so very well looked after. I find the staff so very friendly and caring. The home is also a beautiful calm place to visit but with lots of activities to do and take part in. I was so nervous about mum moving in and had been trying to cope at home but feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful place.

Caring staff, very professional and have maintained to high standards.

My mother was admitted following 4 weeks in hospital and 2 in rehabilitation. With severe mobility problems she had recognised, however reluctantly, that she needed a level of care her home could not provide. Within 2 days of moving into Meadow Grange, all her apprehensions had vanished. She had nothing but praised for all the staff and an absolute love for her own room within the home. She praises the meals and incidental catering provided.

Don't expect it to be like home because it isn't. But for people who can't look after themselves it's very adequate and for people who are extremely lonely. The staff are really wonderful. There's plenty to do with various activities and you won't feel lonely.

All requests I have made for help have been dealt with satisfactorily.

Have never found place anything but clean and no unpleasant smells. Auntie is always well turned out.

The overall feel of the home is welcoming.

There are different and varied activities organised most days including a minibus for occasional day trips.

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!!).

The standard of care appears to be very high. The receptionist is very friendly and helpful and deserves a mention.

The home is well ventilated when appropriate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
