Everyone has been very helpful, kind and reassuring both to my mother and myself. My mother seems very content and that is a great relief. she has only been in for a short while but we have all been very happy with the care and attention to her.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) 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 5.0 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.950 for Lincroft Meadow Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (440 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 462 Ratings = 4.95
  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 39 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 39 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.

Elaine Ratcliffe

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2017

Hello, my name is Elaine Ratcliffe, and I am the Home Manager here at Lincroft Meadow.


I joined the Lincroft Meadow team when our home was still a building site, so I have truly been here since the beginning! It was wonderful to see our home develop, but the most special moment for us was when we opened our doors and welcomed our very first residents.


I have worked in the care sector for 17 years, starting as a care assistant and working my way up to management roles. I am passionate about caring for our senior community, and I'm proud that my team share the same values.


My door is always open, so do pop in and see us whenever you'd like!

Hello, my name is Sheryl Despi, and I am the Deputy Manager here at Lincroft Meadow.


I work alongside Elaine, the Home Manager, to ensure that the quality of care delivered in our home is nothing short of excellent. I am a registered nurse by profession and have worked in the UK for more than 15 years. Like every member of our team, I am passionate about providing the best possible care for our residents.

Suzanne Morgan

Job Title: Client Services Manager Joined: 2019

Hello, my name is Suzi Morgan, and I am the Client Services Manager here at Lincroft Meadow.


Having worked in the care industry in a variety of roles for over sixteen years, I joined the team at Lincroft Meadow four years ago and can honestly say it is the nicest home I have ever worked in. There is a genuine team spirit here at Lincroft Meadow that makes it a pleasure to come to work every day.


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!
