Review from James J (Resident) published on 5 May 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the short respite I booked in September 2025 to my present permanent stay, I have been made to feel safe and happy at Meadowbank Care Home. As my mobility decreases, staff are willing and able to meet my needs, always with a smile and energy, making my stay a happy one. The food is good with an
imaginative menu offering nutrition as well as variety. The application of medication is excellent, giving me reassurance. I was very reluctant at the thought of needing residential care, but Meadowbank has dispelled any reservations I had, and I am happy to be cared for here. Management and carers really do care at Meadowbank.
Reply from Tajá Young, Director of Operations, Quality & Compliance at Meadowbanks Care HomeWe're so pleased to hear that you feel safe, happy, and well supported at Meadowbanks.

It's also a pleasure having you with us, you're a valued member of the home!

Review from Caroline K (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father went in for a 4 week respite stay after 6 weeks in hospital where he had weakened from too long in bed.
The staff were fantastic with him, gave him some time to settle, bringing food to his room, encouraging time in the chair and in the bed and then as he got stronger and relaxed a little
encouraged him to go to the dining room and take part in activities.
All staff were very friendly and caring and had time to speak to us when we visited to update us on his progress.
Reply from Tajá Young, Director of Operations, Quality & Compliance at Meadowbanks Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words, it truly means a lot to the whole team. We're especially pleased to hear that your father was able to regain his strength during his stay with us and return home. Supporting people to recover, rebuild confidence, and regain independence wherever possible is exactly what we strive for every day. It was a pleasure to care for your father, and we wish him continued health and happiness at home.

Review from Ralph L (Son of Resident) published on 24 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't speak highly enough of the exceptional care my mum receives at this home. From the moment she arrived, the team have shown nothing but kindness, patience, and genuine compassion. They take the time to understand her needs, her routines, and the little things that make her feel comfortable and
valued.
What stands out most is the consistency of the care. Every member of staff treats her with dignity and respect, and it's clear they truly care about her wellbeing. They keep me updated, involve me in decisions, and always make me feel welcome when I visit. The atmosphere is warm, calm, and reassuring - exactly what you hope for when entrusting someone you love to others.
Knowing my mum is safe, supported, and surrounded by people who look after her as if she were their own family gives me enormous peace of mind. I'm incredibly grateful for everything they do. This home is a credit to the care profession.
Reply from Tajá Young, Director of Operations, Quality & Compliance at Meadowbanks Care HomeThank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review.

Providing consistent, person-centred care is very important to us, so it is lovely to know that this is reflected in your experience. We appreciate your trust and your feedback, and will ensure your kind comments are shared with the team.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.534)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.534) out of 10 for Meadowbanks 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.909 for Meadowbanks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (30 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 33 Ratings = 4.909
  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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meadowbanks Care Home is based on 3 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.375
  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.
