My father has been a resident for over a year now and has been treated with dignity and respect.
There is a wide range of activities, something for everyone.
Personal care is very good as is the food.
Staff are friendly and helpful.

Overall, I’m satisfied with the care provided to my father, but my involvement has been greatly limited over the past 2 years due to Covid-19. I believe that my father is content in the care home, but he doesn’t normally take part in activities.

My mother is settled, eating, and looking well. I have noticed an improvement in her care over the last few months. The management are trying their best but some of the staff could be doing with more training. Staff shortages contribute to shortcuts but they have always shown kindness to my mother.
Reply from Susan Macdonald, Home Manager at Meadowvale Care Home

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review and your feedback Over the past 18 months it has been a very challenging time for everyone; however providing the required number of trained staff is also very important to us in order to reach the high levels of care and this is certainly one of the priorities I have taken on board since joining the team.

My mum has been in Meadowvale for 9 months, she is happy and well cared for. The staff are amazing and very friendly. The events coordinator is amazing, she goes over and above for the residents. My mum was unwell and the care she was given, by two members of staff in particular, was first class. Mum
had to go into hospital and a member of staff phoned to keep us updated and called while Mum was in hospital to check up on her. When Mum was ready to go back she was delighted to see all her friends in the home.

Review from Sandra C (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 May 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly, my father passed away in April 2021 and I wanted to take this opportunity to comment on the fantastic care he received right up until he passed away. Dad was only transferred to Meadowvale in January, and even in that short space of time, we knew he was well cared for and in the best place to
support him and his needs. The staff got to know him so well and they made that short time for him fun and a place we know he felt safe in and well looked after. When Dad passed sadly away the staff were with him and held his hand so he wasn't alone and we cannot thank them enough for that. Then the care and attention we have had as a family before and after is second to none. I cannot recommend the team here highly enough, they are all fabulous and deserve the biggest thank you for all the work they do and for the care they gave to Dad. Thank you.
Reply from Tracy Hicks, Home Manager at Meadowvale Care Home

Thank you very much for your very kind words and for taking the time to leave us a review we can share with our community. I speak for all the staff team when saying, it was a great pleasure and privilege for all at Meadowvale to spend quality time with your father.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly on the 6th of March 2020, my darling Mother passed away while residing at Meadowvale Care Home.
Although she was in her 96th year and suffering from dementia, she was happy, young at heart and extremely comfortable in her surroundings.
I cannot praise the staff enough who cared so much for my
Mother, they nursed her, stroked her brow, kissed her and never left her side. She knew they were there and even managed a loving smile for these amazing people right to the end.
This gave great comfort to all our family.
At Mum's service donations of over £500 were received and will be donated to Meadowvale.
Thank you to the manager for caring and comforting my Mum and thank you to each and every one of your amazing staff.

My mum stayed in Meadowvale for 3-years, during that time she was happy and very well cared for. Sadly she passed away at the beginning of this month. I am writing this review to thank the staff, especially one member, who did everything possible to ensure my mum was comfortable and pain-free at all
times. You made sure we as a family got to spend time with my mum, something I will always be grateful for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident for nearly a year, and prior to my mum arriving at Meadowvale I was a bit concerned how she would settle it. I needn't have worried, my mum settled in right away thanks to all the staff who made my mum feel right at home. Every time I visited I was made very welcome, the staff
were always very helpful and were giving my mum plenty attention, as well as the other residents, they even got my mum to join in some activities which I never thought she would.
My mum's room was very nice and bright, there was never any issues with cleanliness or maintenance and would recommend to other families.

Review from Christina F (Relative of Resident) published on 12 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Have been here for various reasons and most recently for an open day. Very friendly staff and the presentation of the interior is clean and well maintained. Have also been part of their Christmas fayre as well and on every other occasion I've been in, the staff are always interacting with the residents,
which is nice to see. I even helped organise a day visit for some back at Christmas and to watch the carers look after them in the simplest but hard-working manner in and out of their bus etc was good to know that people still take the time to be professional and friendly. You could see that they genuinely cared for their residents rather than it just "being their job"! Even 1 resident spoke highly of the lady who is the admin in the office which again speaks volumes in itself.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Understaffed, especially at weekends. Patients waiting for up to 1 hour, often longer for toilets. Patients transport vehicle is very, very seldom used for patients. Had to use own transport for hospital visits/transfusion etc. Medical staff poor, prescription pills that were not required eg 8 paracetamol,
in case they were in pain and didn't know it. Mishandling patients by lifting inappropriately. Activities, especially on the first floor, are virtually non-existent. What good staff there was. Didn't stay long.

Mum has been in Meadowvale for 5 months now and has settled in very well due to the great care she is given by staff.
Staff are always busy but never ignore the residents, even the cleaning staff will stop and talk to them.
Always smiles on the staff's faces and always good to mum.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for Meadowvale Care Home 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.897 for Meadowvale Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 116 Ratings = 4.897
  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 4.962 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meadowvale Care Home is based on 10 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.962
  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.

Susan Drummond

Job Title: Home Administrator Joined: 2018

Hi, my name is Susan, and I am the Administrator at Meadowvale


I have been with my husband for a lot of years (too many to count) and have 3 grown-up children and 1 Grandson who I love to spend lots of time with.
I have worked at Meadowvale for 3 ½ years. Before joining the team at Meadowvale, I worked in a few various roles from Administration, Trainee Recruitment Consultant, to Catering Manager and I had never worked in the Health Care sector before I joined the team here.
I absolutely love the fact I have a varied job role and I get to do lots of different things each day and I am known for helping wherever I am needed.
I am usually the main point of contact for the home and I get to meet all the relatives of our residents. I absolutely love working at Meadowvale and I find it very rewarding working with residents and staff as every day is different.

Job Title: Housekeeper Joined: 2006

Hello there! My name is Gretta, and I am the Head of Housekeeping here at Meadowvale.


I was born in Northern Ireland and got married at 18 and moved with my husband Tony to sunny Scotland where I have lived since then, we have 1 daughter Kelly.
I have worked in various roles before coming to Meadowvale and although I am responsible for all the housekeeping and laundry staff, I have been known to be called upon for various tasks around the home to the extent I think I will change my name.
I ensure that Meadowvale is kept to the highest of standards, co-ordinate staff in their daily duties and help ensure that the residents are happy. I enjoy getting to know our residents and their families to ensure their rooms are as comfortable and homely as it would be in their own homes.
