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.

I have been in Lincroft Meadow for six months. I have found it akin to a 4-star hotel in every way. It has gone out of its way to make me comfortable and settled in. I feel I was very lucky to be a resident at short notice. The accommodation and garden area are first-class and could not be better, also
the management and staff are friendly and easy to converse with and communicate with.

We have been delighted with the support and care given by everyone at Lincroft. The support for us as a family has been so appreciated. Learning about dementia and doing the best for my father hasn't been easy but Lincroft has really helped.
The care, and support for my father have been of a high
standard. It isn't an easy time, but Lincroft has helped us steer our way at such a difficult time.

We decided to move Mum from the care home she was using as we didn’t feel the care was of good standard and after visiting a couple of times prior to her moving we all decided Lincroft was the best choice. We knew it would be a difficult transition but she seems to have settled in well. The staff are
absolutely wonderful, it’s clean and doesn’t smell at all, the residents all look beautiful and smart and well cared for. Mum is finding it difficult to complain about anything which is a massive bonus. The coffee area is perfect for both the residents and visitors and there is always something going on for the residents to join in if they choose. Although she has only just begun her stay we are more than happy and it’s a relief to come away knowing she is safe and well looked after.

Thank you for your wonderful review of our home. We are so pleased that your mum is settling in here at Lincroft Meadow, and that you feel she is receiving good care. Our coffee area is certainly a good spot for a coffee and a slice of cake, and we really enjoy families making the most of it.

Lincroft Meadow provided an exemplary care service for my wife who had complex needs following a head injury accident. Since becoming a resident, she has made significant improvements to both her cognitive and physical abilities. The management and staff have been very supportive and have contributed
considerably to this success, for which I am extremely grateful. I would therefore recommend Lincroft to anyone wishing to receive the best of care for themselves or their loved ones.

From the moment I stepped through the entrance, the feeling was of a 5-star hotel, not a care home.
It was the first care home that I looked at for my elderly mother, and put simply, I did not need to look any further. Although sadly, my mother was only there for three weeks before passing, I could
not find any fault with all those caring for her. All the staff from senior management down were very attentive to her needs and made her feel very welcome and special. Also, I found them all very quick and easy to contact when I needed to.

I have seen many examples at Lincroft Meadow of humane, compassionate professionalism of the highest quality. I know that my mother has been quite needy in terms of personal contact and that the busy carers have done their very best to occupy her and keep her contented. The care provided has been wonderful.
I have the very highest regard for Lincroft Meadow for what, in my experience, Lincroft Meadow achieves on a day-to-day basis.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A lovely facility in a fantastic location for us to regularly visit. You are welcomed with a smile by friendly staff members, and there are always lots of staff and residents to say hello to, especially at the cafe.
We have been very impressed by the cleanliness and provisions in the rooms, with the
added bonus of being able to add personal touches such as pictures and ornaments.
We were treated to a fantastic festive meal with the residents - there was music, lots of Christmas jumpers and a glass of Buck’s Fizz to celebrate. It was a great chance to meet other residents and their families.
There are lots of activities and events going on so I don’t think you could get bored. Equally, there are lots of spaces for quiet time to read or watch a movie in the cinema.
Lincroft has an amazing team that makes sure every need of the residents is attended to, and it doesn’t feel like your traditional care home. We are so pleased Grandad has moved in! Thank you to the client services manager and the team!

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, as they recognise all that the dedicated staff group do to make the lives of those we care for as enjoyable as possible and that we strive to include families too!

My family were anxious for Mum to be a resident here, but she was adamant that she wanted to stay in her own home. Pleased to say that eventually, after a month's "trial," she is extremely happy and we are all so relieved.
Only criticism is that Mum's dementia means she leaves dirty clothes and underwear
on radiators and the carers aren't allowed to put them in the laundry bin. Mum is highly independent but needs pushing in this respect. We also seem to push for doctor visits.
Reply from Elaine Ratcliffe, Home Manager at Lincroft Meadow Care Home

Thank you for your feedback, and we will of course act upon the points you make. We are glad though that your mum has settled with us, testament to all of the staff team involved in that, as we know that many residents are anxious about such a change, which can be unsettling and confusing. We look forward to continuing to look after your mum, and to ensure that she lives an active and fulfilling life, and retains as much independence as possible.

My wife has been at the care home since the 28th of September. The facilities are excellent. Always clean and tidy. The accommodation is very good. Nice spacious ensuite room with a personal television. In addition, the two day rooms provide a pleasant place for visitors. Food is very good. In addition,
the downstairs café provides a nice change. The management are extremely helpful and understanding. The staff, from reception to carers and nurses, are very caring and genuinely care and take an interest in all patients. There are lots of activities that cater for everyone. My wife is in a good place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a very difficult time with both my parent's health deteriorating rapidly within 2 weeks, we had found ourselves in a crisis.
Lincroft became our lifeline.
My father sadly passed away, leaving my mum distraught with overwhelming anxiety.
The client manager was very supportive from day one.
She empathised with the situation we were all in, and did her very best to help us.
The carers/nurses have been amazing with my mum, spending time reassuring her and just listening to her, and offering her such warmth and compassion with their care.
I can honestly say I have seen a change in my mum's well-being, both mentally and physically, and this is due to each and everyone at Lincroft.
"Thank you" for looking after my mum who is so precious to me.

As well as providing the best in care for our residents, we are also focused on supporting the families at what can be a stressful time, so it is pleasing to hear that we were there for you and your family during this period.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lincroft Meadow is a wonderful place. My mother received excellent care. The staff were so welcoming, caring and understanding. It was lovely to be able to personalise her room to make her feel at home. Lincroft exudes such a friendly atmosphere, shown to relatives as much as residents that one quickly
feels that it is one big caring family. Being a modern, purpose built home it is like an all inclusive five star hotel and there is so much on offer. The carers helped Mum go to various activities, her own hairdresser was able to use the salon, the visiting chiropodist worked wonders with her toe nails and she loved having coffee and cake in the bistro and attractive garden - and smelling the lavender! The nursing and personal care were exemplary and the staff were so aware of, and attentive to, her needs. Lincroft's working relationship with a local GP gave enormous confidence when medical intervention was required and Mum's brief end of life care could not have been managed better.

My mother is very happy at Lincroft Meadow. She has been a resident for more than six months. We found it difficult to find a home that felt right, but as soon as we visited Lincroft Meadow we knew we had found the right place for her. It is a warm, caring and stimulating environment for her and it
is such a relief for us to know that she is being well looked after and is so happy. She enjoys the company and the range of activities and sometimes says it is almost like being on holiday. It is a pleasure to visit her and we always feel welcome. Being able to help yourself to a coffee anytime and bring your dog to visit makes it feel more like her home. The facilities are very good and her room is attractive and well presented but it is the staff who are exceptional. We have been impressed by their warmth and sense of fun and our mother really values this too.

I have to admit that I was dreading moving my sister from her home into Lincroft Meadow, as she was decidedly opposed to the whole idea. In fact, the experience was much better than I could have envisaged. The move was made as smooth as it could be, the kindness towards my very confused sister was genuine,
and I felt reassured that I was leaving her in safe and gentle hands. Although it's still very early days, I am so pleased that we have chosen Lincroft Meadow.

Lincroft Meadow was home to my father for the last 5 months of his life. It is a beautiful home, with excellent accommodation, facilities, food and care. It is made by its staff, genuinely kind and caring people for whom nothing is too much trouble, whether for residents or their families. Dad settled
into a good routine. He kept his dignity and humour throughout in no small part thanks to the efforts of all of the staff who knew him personally. He enjoyed the cafe and garden, the occasional outing and the dining room - and his daily glass of wine. The transition from active resident to end-of-life care was fairly swift and really well handled by the home, we could not have asked for more. We always felt welcome and informed and knew that he was in good hands; whilst it was our first such experience, we really benefited from the great knowledge, experience and kindness of the Lincroft team.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) 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 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.944 for Lincroft Meadow Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (495 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 522 Ratings = 4.944
  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 44 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 44 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!

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!

Rebecca Goodgame

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!
