Review from Maria B (Sister of Resident) published on 15 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The care home has been a safe place for my brother for a few years now. He has settled well and has a good relationship with many of the staff. They keep trying to engage him in activities at every opportunity, despite his reluctance. They cater for his dietary needs and will make his favourite foods if need be. I am kept fully up to date with any care needs, health concerns and his finances, if they need altering. The staff keep me informed if ongoing concerns which I really do appreciate. He can be cheeky but the staff are aware of this and can have a laugh with him which is great to see. Thank you to all the staff x

Overall Experience
The staff were very friendly, making me very welcome and were happy to answer any questions I had. They spoke in depth about future projects / activities involving the residents, which I think is important for stimulation and well-being for people at Meadowcroft. I think the staff have a wonderful infectious enthusiasm for their work and are a great team!
I left the meeting happy and positive!

Exceptional care and wonderful staff. Recent illness for my relative meant that the staff and management were there for them 24 hours and we cannot thank them enough. Positive, calm and caring. Amazing!

Review from Winston W (Friend of Resident) published on 23 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
When my friend first came in he was in a bad way. Your staff have done a fantastic job at getting him mobile, a little more self-sufficient and so much happier. This doesn't happen unless you have a fantastic team and it shows. I was worried about him initially but the staff here has given me no doubts whatsoever that he is in the right place. During my first visits, my friend couldn't stand on his own, couldn't hold a conversation and was a shell of his former self, now I can see a glimmer of the person he used to be return.

Overall Experience
Things need getting on top of from time to time, but the manager and staff are all willing to help to put things right. Most of the time I can sleep contented knowing my brother is getting well looked after.
