Whilst I understand that the residents can at time be challanging. The overall experience is good. The staff seem to care about the residents, but there have been some issues with laundry and the cleanliness of her room. I do understand she can be quite difficult at times but I dont want to visit...
As with all things there is room for improvment.
But I do understand the difficulty the staff face daily.
And my wife seems settled.

My wife has been a resident at Bright Meadows Care Home for 21 months. The home is always spotlessly clean and well maintained. Her care is exceptional by dedicated carers. Every member of management, carers, nursing etc. are very friendly and thoughtful. I'd like to mention the area manager, I asked for a special request and he delivered within the week. My wife and myself benefitted from this show of kindness. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bright Meadows for your loved ones.

I am extremely happy with the care my mum has received since arriving at Bright Meadows. All the staff are very caring and attentive. I am reassured that she is in the very best hands. One staff member goes above and beyond on every level and is an absolute asset.

My mother came into this care home January '25. The care she recieves is brilliant. My mum is struggling with anxiety she does not like the fact that other residents are getting into her room. She has been told to lock her room door but she forgets sometimes due to dementia. She does not feel safe she has told us and its is one reason why she does not want to leave her room as she feels her possesions will be stolen. As a family we dont like people going into her room either. Staff just say lock the door.
Thankyou for 5 stars all round. I am pleased that we held a meeting and decided that it was in your mums best interest to move units. Her anxiety has lessened and she is thriving on her new unit. As always please just ask with any queries as we strive to make our residents happy, comfortable and settled
My review of the care home is that it is an excellent home for my husband. It is a caring and clean home.

Very impressed with the care home. Rooms are kept very clean and my friend is very well looked after. All the staff I have met are lovely and are very helpful. Always have a smile on their faces under very difficult conditions as my friend like a lot of the residents are not very well.

Not the best, each time I visit it's not clean, not enough carers. Most carers are lovely and caring, some aren't. The sensory room is a great idea.

Not the best, each time I visit it's not clean, not enough carers. Most carers are lovely and caring, some aren't. The sensory room is a great idea. The residents need more attention i.e so many carers to so many residents. I feel most of the time the carers are all together in one place, instead of being spread. This would help with things like accidents.

I have been visiting my mum for one week. She is happy here which is down to the environment and the staff. Everything appears very clean and tidy. The lounge and Mum's room are bright and airy, and the en-suite is a real bonus. Overall my first impressions are very good. Never been during meal times so I can't comment on the food, but Mum said it's very good.

We're so pleased that your Mum is happy at Bright Meadows and that you feel this is down to the environment and the staff; our staff do work very hard to provide the best of care and a clean and tidy environment.

Thanks so much for coming on and leaving a review. It's great that the team make time to speak with you about your nan but feel free to speak to them at any time if you have any worries or just want to know how your nan is doing. With best wishes, Honor.
Not keen on paying £4,999 per month though but think we will get help eventually.

Reception staff are always welcoming and engaging.
On the whole, carers seem to lack insight into the little things, such as maintaining dignity by ensuring face is clean etc. Management are not visible enough and communication could definitely improve.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. I have sent the Regional Manager, who covers Bright Meadows, a copy of your review for him to look into. With best wishes, Honor Keatley, Managing Director
