Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely pleased with the improvement in the health of my friend since her arrival at Meadow Bank House Care Home several months ago. I have found the staff to be very caring and competent. They are always helpful and ready to go the extra mile. My friend is very satisfied with the meals and drinks
that are provided and I believe she would agree with the scores I have given here. If in the future, I needed residential care, I hope it will be somewhere like Meadow Bank House Care Home.

My mum has been well looked after and her health has improved since she came to this care home in July. She has eaten better and become more engaged with people. The company has done her good. The staff are all very helpful and obliging and keep our family informed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Meadow Bank House does not feel like a care home but feels like Mum's home. Whilst the facilities, cleanliness, activities etc are all first rate, what makes the place so special is the staff. Mum, sadly, has had to move to palliative care and not only have the staff looked after her wonderfully, sympathetically
and caringly, but they have been so kind and supportive to us, her family. We could not have wished for more.

My mother-in-law came to you for a short time as she was nearing the end of life. I cannot praise each and every one of your staff we were made to more than welcome we felt comfortable all staff treated us with respect they couldn't do enough for us. They kept us going with tea coffee biscuits never
too busy to speak to us always a smile absolutely marvellous I know what pressure you can be under in your line of work as I've been there myself you really are brilliant your staff put faith back into carers. The dignity and respect you showed to my mother-in-law was second to none - you all should be proud of yourselves x

The staff at Meadowbank are all welcoming friendly and extremely supportive not only the residents but their families. From the day my mum arrived, she was treated with respect and kindness. All the staff were polite interested and friendly to her and her family. When mum was very sick and dying the
care and genuine affection shown to her and to all of her family was very comforting.
I could not have wished for a better place for mum.

I am very happy with the care my grandmother receives. I have no concerns. They keep me informed in regards to my Nan's health and I would not hesitate to recommend the home to other people. I would like to see more activities on for the residents.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.613)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.613) out of 10 for Meadow Bank House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.613 for Meadow Bank House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.613
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meadow Bank House Care Home is based on 18 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
