Everywhere was spotless, tables were clean and tidy, even her plants in her bedroom were well looked after.
The atmosphere was lovely, TV was on for background music, all the service users were chatting to each other or their visiting relatives. My Godmother looked better than she did last time I saw her and looked smart and tidy. Obviously the staffs priority is the wellbeing of the residents.

Since we had initial contact with the home I have been extremely impressed by the standard of the facilities but particularly by the care, accessibility, friendliness, compassion and efficiency of all the staff.
The staff are all excellent and really care. Things they say they will do always get done, questions are answered quickly, they appear to work together well as a team and most importantly my mum likes them, is happy and well cared for.
The rooms, lounges, etc are clean, welcoming and well equipped. The home looks and feels much more like a high standard hotel than a care home, albeit with a programme of daily activities.
The food appears to be good, varied and nicely presented and is supplemented by frequent snacks and drinks with staff keeping a close eye on sufficient consumption.
It's expensive but everything is included and it's really good.
This home is beyond expectations. The wealth of facilities, the cleanliness, the very attentive and caring staff, need seeing to be believed. The rooms are so well designed and with care to detail, with thought going into making sure homely touches can be installed. I was also impressed by the...
This home is beyond expectations. The wealth of facilities, the cleanliness, the very attentive and caring staff, need seeing to be believed. The rooms are so well designed and with care to detail, with thought going into making sure homely touches can be installed. I was also impressed by the social aspects, with so many events planned for different people amd different abilities. I just cant fault this home or the staff involved in it.
The staff are focused on the residents well being at all times and nothing is too much trouble
Activities are well planned and appropriate there is also plenty of variety

My sister was taken into emergency care at a very difficult time for me. I felt wretched putting my sister in care, but the time was much too difficult for me, as I had my husband very poorly as well. My fears were soon dispelled by the very caring staff and the relaxing atmosphere of the care home.

This was my first experience in staying in a care home so was uncertain as had visited a number of such in the past and these were genreally not impressive. I need not have worried as this was the exception. A modern building with good features outside and excellent interior design inside. The staff were very caring, the food was good and the activities most stimulative. I will probably return after this initial 2 week visit.
Thank You for your lovely review of our home, we are glad that your stay was such a positive experience for you, we look forward to seeing you again un the future. Take care

My grandad is well supported by caring staff who have worked to develop a connection with him. I feel reassured he is looked after by competent and trained staff. His room is clean and modern. The food seems to be of good quality, his only complaint would be that there should be more lamb on the menu.
Thank you for your wonderful review, I am so pleased your Grandad has settled so well at Meadow Croft and you reassured me he is well cared for. Thank you for your feedback regarding the food, I will ensure this is shared with our chef and catering team. Thank you.

Mum is being very well looked after and all the staff seem to be genuinely fond of her. The home is spotless and all the staff are kind, courteous, professional and caring. It's very difficult "handing over care" of a much-loved parent to someone else and it takes time for a relative to settle down, probably more so than for mum. I know that she's safe and being well looked after.
Thank you for a lovely review, I am so pleased your mum has settled well, thank you for your kind words about the team at Meadow Croft. I will ensure your feedback is shared with them.

I get an update from the manager about my friend when I see her, and there are a few of the care team I am getting to know, who are very attentive.
The centre looks clean, the staff are friendly, there seems to be a good lot of things happening, for residents, and the lounge is very comfortable.
Thank you for your wonderful review, I am so pleased your friend has settled so well at Meadow Croft and your made to feel welcome when you visit. Thank you.

My father, 90, was no longer able to live alone due to the onset of dementia. He has been a resident in Meadow Croft since September 2024 and settled in amazingly quickly and he is incredibly happy. I do regular video calls with him so I literally see how he is. The staff have been brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is good, the service excellent and the facilities are practical and beautifully decorated. Everything is so clean - the laundry is done daily. He is happy with his bedroom and enjoys the wealth of choice on the large TV with streaming services. He likes to be busy and entertained, so the vast array of activities on offer keeps him on his toes - literally! He has become a champion at drafts, loves dancing (I am amazed) and has a lot of fun with his carers. The atmosphere is very homely and friendly, with a good spirit amongst the residents. I am so relieved I can leave him there, while in Germany, knowing he is well looked after by a very professional, yet friendly team.
Thank you for your wonderful review. The whole team at Meadowcroft not only pride themselves on delivering outstanding care but also on offering a warm friendly and welcoming environment for all visitors and your review confirms the fantastic work the whole team does. Thank you.

My dear friend has been at Meadowcroft for a number of months now and it is lovely to see how settled she is. Her room and the communal areas are clean and spacious and she has been able to bring items in to make her room her own space. The staff are very caring towards the residents whilst enabling them to be as independent as possible, it is reassuring to see the same group of staff on a regular basis as they have got to know the likes and dislikes of the residents. There are lots of opportunities to be sociable with other residents on a daily basis, eating, exercising, chatting etc if they wish to do so. There are regular events on like singers for remembrance day, Christmas carols, crafts, and visits from animal experiences, the highlight so far was when the Owls came to visit, something she would not have been able to see if she was still at her home. It is so good to know that she is safe and cared for and I look forward to each visit to find out what has been going on.
Thank you for your wonderful review, I am so pleased your friend has settled so well at Meadow Croft. Thank you.

Dad has been in Meadow Croft for around three months now and has settled very well. The staff are really fantastic, very caring and professional with a lovely warmth about them that makes Dad feel welcome and looked after. We are very reassured by the care that Dad gets which is a huge relief for us. Meadow Croft is a high-quality care home with a lovely warmth about it, from the fabulous reception and office team through to all the unit managers and all the care staff and support team, everyone is helpful and caring. The rooms, community areas and corridors are spacious and feel like a cross between a high-quality hotel and a lovely, new, cosy home. Everywhere is always immaculate and clean and the food and snacks are excellent quality. The programme of activities are lovely and Dad enjoys joining in with some of them but it is also not compulsory, whilst the residents are encouraged, they don't have to take part. 100%, we would highly recommend Meadow Croft as a five-star, excellent Care Home!
Thank you for your wonderful review, I am so pleased your dad has settled so well at Meadow Croft. Thank you for your kind words about the fantastic staff, the whole team pride themselves on delivering outstanding care and offering a warm, friendly and welcoming environment for all visitors. Thank you.
Brand new home, like a good quality hotel, tastefully decorated. Lovely, functional rooms and accessible garden. Staff are all very accommodated to respite needs. Staff are flexible with pick up and collection.

Thank you for your wonderful review about Meadow Croft and the facilities the home has to offer.
Mum has been at Meadow Croft now for just over a month and she has settled in well. The staff are all lovely and compassionate and really take care of Mum. They arrange so many activities for the residents to join in and for the family and friends to attend as well. It is a beautiful place as well.

My father-in-law stayed at Meadow Croft to convalesce after having had an operation, from the minute of walking into the reception, we could not have been more impressed with the quality and the atmosphere, which carries on all the way through to the rooms, dining rooms and lounges. All the staff are amazing and so caring and welcoming, the food is exceptional and to restaurant standard and the whole care package is excellent value for money! It really does not feel like a care home at all and more of a high-quality hotel for the elderly. Wish they had been open when my father was alive and had to go into care, he would have loved it too.
Thank you for your wonderful review, I am so pleased your Father-in-law enjoyed his respite stay with us and we were able to support him back to good health. Thank you for your kind words about the staff, I will ensure your feedback is shared with the whole team. Thank you.
