Our mum was a resident at Lincroft Meadow for almost 4 years. Throughout her stay, she was met with kindness, care and respect. Her ability to join in with activities was limited but she enjoyed the musical ones and the church services in particular. Taking the decision to move Mum from her home
to Lincroft was extremely difficult but we do not think she could have been in a better place as the impact of Alzheimers and her nursing needs were understood and met. As relatives, we were always welcome and kept up to date with any changes in her care and routines. The staff were friendly and professional and we appreciated the consistency in the management and nursing teams. Prior to her death Mum was treated with compassion and dignity and we are so grateful for the support and understanding that we received. We will miss our visits there.

I started visiting Lincroft in February 2023. We attended the monthly toddler group and loved it. Seeing all the residents' faces light up was just so lovely. At the time, my children were 5 months and 3 years old. We have been coming every month since. We have built some lovely friendships with the
residents and my children love coming. We often visit at any opportunity, we are always so warmly welcomed. The staff are exceptional! It's a truly wonderful place to visit. The residents always appear very happy.

From my first meeting with the Client Services Manager, I felt welcomed and knew that my Father would be valued and cared for at Lincroft Meadow. Time was taken to understand his physical, emotional and spiritual needs and to learn much about the man and his life history. I was impressed that on my
initial tour, conversations were had with every resident we met and an interest was taken in each individual. We were offered a room promptly and given help and support with a difficult transfer from a hospital in Wales. My Father was made immediately welcome and his needs assessed. Sadly, he passed away after five weeks but he, and we, were made to feel a part of the community and enabled to celebrate Xmas together. The care my Father received on Snowdrop was exemplary; I was impressed with the quality and communication of the staff and their relationship with the GP, facilitating the best medical care. At a difficult time, the staff also cared for us which was special and much appreciated.

Today, 8 of the family came to the Lincroft Easter Egg Hunt. We ranged in ages down from 2 years old. Everyone had a fabulous time, the morning was excellently organised and we all had a lot of chocolate, and cake.
The lovely touches that were done especially for the children made the time very special.
Thank you to the Client Services Manager and all of her team.
We look forward to the next event.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Lincroft Meadow Care Home since February when she stayed for respite care when Dad went into hospital. Unfortunately, Dad passed away and Mum's stay became long-term. We cannot praise the staff enough for helping Mum who has dementia to settle in at what has been a very difficult time.
The care and kindness shown is fantastic. We were worried about Dad's funeral but the staff were amazing. They reserved a quiet area for family members to meet beforehand and thoughtfully provided refreshments. A staff member also discreetly attended the service in case we needed support with Mum and was there to welcome her back afterwards. This took a lot of the worry out a difficult day. It is a relief to the family to know Mum is being so well cared for. There are lots of lovely activities organised at the home and we appreciate the staff taking the trouble to gently encourage Mum to join in. If we need to talk anything over, there is always someone available. Thank you Lincroft.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been struggling with dementia for years and was determined that she would never agree to going into care. We got her to the car park where she refused to get out of the car. The senior team came out to greet her and within minutes had coaxed her inside the doors. We persuaded her to stay
for a week. After a day she rang me laughing and saying what a great times she was having, After a week she had already asked the staff if she could stay at the 'hotel' for longer as she was having such a good time! Her dementia is complex and difficult to manage at times, but the staff have managed each situation with care, compassion and dignity. They have responded by creatively modifying her care plan each time to make sure she is as settled, happy and engaged in the programme of activities.
It is without a doubt the best care home I have encountered both in my career in the NHS and on a personal level for other family members.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum moved to Lincroft Meadow in August from another care home as she needed greater nursing care. I wish we had moved her sooner. Sadly my mum died after only 4 months at Lincroft but the impact on the quality of her final months was huge. Lincroft Meadow is such a wonderful place. The facilities
are fantastic and the staff warm, compassionate and caring. My mum loved the varied activities on offer and the wonderfully bustling cafe downstairs and gorgeous gardens which made frequent visits with my young children so easy, allowing my mum to spend precious quality time with her grandchildren (which is not always easy in a care home setting). What made Lincroft Meadow stand out for me though was their holistic approach to care, not only did they look after my mum with compassion and kindness but they also looked after her family, supporting us wonderfully when Mum first arrived and later in her final weeks. I honestly could not recommend Lincroft Meadow highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we moved our elderly mother with dementia to be closer to my brother, we were determined to find her a home where she would not just be cared for, we wanted her loved too. We found Lincroft Meadow and knew it was a special place. The staff welcomed her, respected her, cared for and loved her. They
took time to understand her likes, dislikes and sense of humour! As a retired nurse she loved to sit with the staff and give out orders as well as her opinions and the staff just went along with her, it was perfect. They are clearly very highly qualified in the care of dementia patients, and they even took the time to teach us about Mum's condition.
In addition to the amazing care, the facility is very well kept, always clean and warm, great food choices and very tasty. Mum enjoyed her total experience very much; she often told us how she really liked living in the 5-star hotel!
As a senior nursing administrator and a nurse of over 40 years, I assure you this care team is the gold standard.

My mum has been in respite care in Lincroft for the last 3 weeks and right from the start she has received the best care. The staff are so kind and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. She recently celebrated her birthday and they laid on a lovely afternoon tea in the private dining room, including
a lovely cake and Prosecco. (Dietary requirements all catered for too). We are all very impressed with Lincroft and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone seeking care for a relative. They go the extra mile to make the residents feel at home. Thank you.

My husband who has advanced Parkinson's has just had a week of respite care at Lincroft Meadow.
The staff were all very welcoming and caring. He enjoyed participating in the activities particularly the outing in the minibus to a Palace to see the lights. I was impressed by the fact that the staff took
his individual needs into consideration. There is a very nice atmosphere in the home, very welcoming. He would be happy to have a return visit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After visiting several care homes for my aunt who was in the middle stages of dementia, it was immediately obvious that Lincroft was way superior to any others - with the cafe downstairs, lovely garden, and fantastic staff. My aunt was very happy there, in a room with some of her own furniture and pictures
around her. She improved during her stay which was just lovely for all of us, seeing her humour and memory return as she got more stimulation. The staff spent time talking with her and she was certainly very fond of them. When she got ill and had to be hospitalised with an infection antibiotics could not cure, Lincroft welcomed her back to see her through her last few days surrounded by their friendship and care. Being able to spend time with her there in the last few days and hours was so helpful to all of those who wanted her to be at peace in the end. We cannot thank Lincroft and all the staff enough for their sensitivity and care throughout the last months of her life.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.943)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.943) out of 10 for Lincroft Meadow 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.943 for Lincroft Meadow Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (483 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 510 Ratings = 4.943
  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 Lincroft Meadow Care Home is based on 43 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 43 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.

My role as client services manager involves supporting people through the process of choosing a care home, and I find it incredibly rewarding to be able to provide guidance, reassurance and compassion at what is often a difficult time for individuals and their loved ones. I love the opportunity to be able to help every step of the way, from touring our home and moving to take advantage of everything we have to offer our residents.


Please do not hesitate to book a visit if you are considering a move either sometime soon or in the future – a warm welcome awaits you!

Job Title: Activities and Wellbeing Coordinator Joined: 2023

Hello, my name is Rebecca Goodgame, and I am the Activities and Wellbeing Coordinator here at Lincroft Meadow.


Before joining the team at Lincroft Meadow I was a pastry chef for one of the Oxford Universities. After a while, I started my own cake business, which I ran from my home for two years.


My grandma lived in a care home, and I always admired the activities department and everything they organised to enrich the lives of their residents. Because of this, I decided when I saw this role advertised that it was time for me to give back to the community, so I applied!
