My Nan has been a resident of Acorn Meadow for a few months now and it's wonderful to see how happy she is there. The home is secure, clean and modern, and Nan is taken great care of by the team. They arrange lots of fun and varied activities and it's great to see Nan get involved in these. When I visited last week for the charity SuperHero afternoon, it was clear to see how much time and effort went into organising the event. We had a brilliant time and it was good fun for all four generations of our family! Thank you Acorn Meadow.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that your nan is happy and well cared for at Acorn Meadow, and that your family enjoyed the Superhero afternoon. Creating fun, inclusive experiences for residents and their loved ones is something we are very proud of.

Mum has been in the home for a few months now and she has settled in well.On a personal level I feel that mum interacts well with all members of staff. Mum has been joining in with the activities that the home organise more than I thought she would. I have seen a change in mum she does seem a lot more observant. Mum can be a little stubborn when it comes to eating and drinking . The carers give a lot of support and encouragement when they are faced with this issue. Any medical concerns have been addressed without delay.
Thank you for your kind words. It's lovely to hear Mum has settled so wel. We're glad the team's patience at mealtimes and prompt attention to any concerns give you such reassurance. We'll pass your thanks on to everyone.

My Dad came to Acorn Meadow this year after a very difficult decision to place him in 24-hour care. Acorn Meadow made the transition calm and stress-free for both him and our family. All the staff are welcoming and always happy to help. My Dad now loves his second family at Acorn Meadow and really enjoys all the wonderful activities. He keeps telling me that he's "the star of the show"! Thank you all for everything you do. Definitely a 5-star home.
Thank you for such kind words. It's wonderful to hear the move was calm and stress-free, and that your dad now calls Acorn Meadow his second family, the star of the show, no less! We'll pass your thanks on to everyone.

Mum's been at Acorn Meadows for nearly 1 year now, and the high level of care has been maintained all year. The staff spend time to get to know my mum. The home is well maintained and usually smells fresh and clean. I would highly recommend Acorn Meadows.

My husband was welcomed into the home and has settled in very well. He is safe and stress-free, being looked after by the staff who keep him clean and manage his health needs. He interacts with all the staff who are always friendly and helpful. Activities are arranged and he is encouraged to join in with the other residents, which he is doing/ When taken out for trips by us, he is always happy to return to his 'safe place'. I am very happy with the treatment he has been given.
Acorn Meadow since say 1 with mum have been exceptional! Staff are amazing and can't do enough for us as a family and for mum herself.

I have had a huge adjustment to make, having been mum's 24/7 sole carer for over a year. It has been hard to give up control, but I know she is safe and cared for.
From the moment my mum arrived (August 2023), the level of service and care has been exceptional. The staff are highly skilled and genuinely compassionate - they go above and beyond every single day to ensure residents are treated with dignity, respect, and love.

From the moment my mum arrived (August 2023), the level of service and care has been exceptional. The staff are highly skilled and genuinely compassionate - they go above and beyond every single day to ensure residents are treated with dignity, respect, and love.
Before moving here, my mum's health was fragile, and her needs were often unmet, leading to frequent long hospital admissions. Since being in the care of this incredible team, her quality of life has improved dramatically. Her complex needs are now consistently and expertly managed, giving her the stability and support she truly deserves. The nurturing, attentive staff take the time to understand each resident personally, tailoring care in a way that makes a real, impactful difference to the daily life of all residents.
This care home has truly transformed my mum's life - and ours as a family. We have peace of mind knowing she's safe and thriving. THANK YOU to all staff for your outstanding remarkable dedication and heart!
The friendliness and concern shown by all staff helped support my wife and I through a difficult introductory period. It is a constant battle and needs a strong team, you seem to have forged one. Thank you.

Whilst mum's dementia continues to worsen, her care needs become more acute. Mum's needs are clearly recognised by the staff and her care adjusted accordingly. It is a huge comfort to our family to know that mum is being so well cared for at Acorn Meadow.

After a recent spell in hospital, Mum arrived at Acorn Meadow Care Home for respite care. What an amazing team of individuals that we met. Dementia isn't the easiest of conditions to face for an individual or family and friends trying to support them. Without the care, kindness, compassion and empathy that this team have shown us, we surely would have struggled to manage with all the emotions that come with having to place a loved one into care. The team at Acorn Meadow fully supported Mum with this transition, supporting her needs, maintaining dignity and reassuring her on good and bad days. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Mum is now a permanent resident here which is such a relief to myself and my sister to have found such a special place. We'd like to thank all the team at Acorn Meadow that play such an amazing part in Mum's new life for their care, compassion and for becoming her new trusted friends and for allowing us to know Mum is safe and cared for, thank you.

A care home in our local area that truly goes above and beyond for its residents and their relatives. The staff here are fantastic with the residents. The quality of care is second to none. The residents are well looked after and thriving. My grandmother has been here for several years and calls this her home. The warm atmosphere in the home ensures security for the residents allowing them to build a trusting relationship with the staff. The care home communication with relatives is simply amazing. I cannot recommend this clean, welcoming and friendly care home enough.
Mum has been a resident at Acorn Meadow for nearly 3 years. The staff are lovely and do an amazing job. Mum is always well cared for and is very happy in her "home". Communication is second to none. We are always involved in decisions about her care.
