Meadowcroft provides nurse-led care for adults living with complex mental health needs, in a community-based care home.

The home has 18 en-suite bedrooms across two small units, each with a shared kitchen, lounge, dining area, and quiet space that promote familiar surroundings and meaningful connections.

There are also communal spaces including an activities hub, sensory room, and an accessible garden.

In the home, Connell Unit supports adults with functional mental health conditions who may display frequent or unpredictable behaviours of concern.

Some people may have a forensic background, a history of substance use disorder, or require Section 117 aftercare following hospital discharge. The structured environment offers high levels of behavioural support and observation, helping people to manage risks and build stability over time.

The home's other unit, Acorn, supports adults with similar diagnoses who don’t require intensive interventions or constant observation.

On Acorn, people benefit from a calmer environment with consistent routines and opportunities to socialise, often stepping down from more acute services, including Connell Unit.

Care is provided by a nurse-led team of general and mental health nurses, care professionals, and support staff trained in positive behaviour support.

The team works alongside each person to co-produce their care and recovery plans, encouraging independence, social connection, and meaningful activity.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.789) out of 10 for Meadowcroft is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 3 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 4.857 for Meadowcroft is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.857
  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 3.932 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meadowcroft is based on 3 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 20 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 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.4 = 0.682
  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.
