Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was nice to be part of the gardening group and mix with the other residents and staff seeing how they mixed in together and shared help - it was very interesting.


The staff were really great with the residents, so patient and caring. I've been present on other occasions and there's always plenty

going on. I don't know where they get all their ideas from (everyone welcomed the tea/coffee break after the potting up had finished).


My relative is upstairs on the dementia wing and the staff team are great, always so friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble for them. I find all the staff at the home wonderful eg clerical staff. All the staff team are stars ****.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't believe how smooth the process of getting our family member into The Meadowbeck was and getting him settled. The staff have all been brilliant, so easy to approach about anything whatever time of day it is.


I attended a group which was attended by my family friend and several other residents.

I joined in and enjoyed it, it was nice to see how others joined in also. The staff really shone on ideas and experience within the group offering help when needed. I have since been involved and seen it all again.


Keep up the good work Meadowbeck. What a nice friendly place to live, I viewed several places, and was so pleased when we were offered The Meadowbeck.

My dad was having end of life care. The staff do an amazing job and looked after him very well in difficult circumstances. They were very welcoming to all the family, the home itself is more like a hotel than a care home.

Staff and management are unfailingly friendly to both service users and their visitors. Care is willingly, cheerfully, given but staff have no time to stop and engage in conversation with residents - one feels they are hard pressed to cover all that is necessary.

The Meadowbeck Care Home in York, is in my opinion, the best there is. My father-in-law has been a permanent resident there since July this year, the very thought of him going into a care home filled me with dread that was until I visited Meadowbeck, the staff were absolutely lovely and friendly. The
home is modern and extremely clean. The residents are very well looked after and cared for, I get regular updates regarding my father-in-laws well being. Apart from this he excitedly tells me when I visit all about the different activities he's taken part in which is really nice for him for example: quizzes, bingo, gardening club, arts and crafts, tv/dvd watching, coffee mornings, tombolas, days out, music club, the list is endless. So a big thank you to all the hardworking staff at Meadowbeck for everything you do and for certainly giving my father-in-law a better quality of life and making him so happy!!!

We were very pleased with the standard of care and concern we received at Meadowbeck. The staff were all very friendly and most helpful, as well as professional. The home itself was clean and modern with the homely, a nice place to live in.

Just over three years ago my nan came to Meadowbeck Care Home close to death. Through the love care and attention from all staff, we have had three extra years with my nan which we didn't think we would have. They became my nan's and our extended family. This week my ban passed away at Meadowbeck surrounded
by all the love, care and attention anyone could hope for, we as a family cannot thank the team enough for giving my nan the security and care and love she needed. All Angels xx

The home had excellent staffing levels with many long service staff. This has now deteriorated moving staff to upper floors leaving dementia patients with agency staff.

Meadowbeck is a first class nursing home. Excellent staff/food/carers/nurses. Nothing is too much trouble and I have been impressed by the organisation of my Mum's care. Meadowbeck is the best home I have seen and know that everything is being done for Mum's wellbeing/comfort/quality of life. No reservations
in recommending Meadowbeck.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.765)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.765) out of 10 for Barchester Meadowbeck Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.765 for Barchester Meadowbeck Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 302 Ratings = 4.765
  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 Barchester Meadowbeck Care Home is based on 26 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 26 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.
