Review from H G (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn't be happier with the care my dad is receiving at Meadow Croft. The staff are extremely caring and manage my dad's dementia really well. My dad describes his experience as I feel like one of the family. The fabric of the building is lovely with garden walks when the weather allows. Highly recommended
as an option for older loved ones who require care.
Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Meadow CroftThank you for your wonderful review, I am pleased you are happy with the care Dad is receiving at Meadowcroft and has settled in well. The whole team pride themselves on delivering outstanding care and your review confirms the fantastic work they all do. Thank you.

Review from Caroline S (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has just spent two weeks at Meadow Croft, a lovely new care home. Mum's experience has been positive from the initial contact and throughout her stay. All members of staff are professional, efficient and caring. The home itself is lovely, the bedrooms and communal areas are well-designed with different
areas and uses. Mum enjoyed the dining experience and snacks during the day. Most importantly for us was being able to leave Mum with confidence, knowing her needs would be met and that she was being cared for by such nice, kind people. Mum is looking forward to staying there again for 'a holiday'.
Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Meadow CroftThank you for your wonderful review; I am so pleased Mum enjoyed her 2 weeks' respite at Meadow Croft. I am glad we were able to give you peace of mind knowing Mum was well cared for. We look forward to welcoming Mum back for her next break. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.895)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.895) out of 10 for Meadow Croft 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.895 for Meadow Croft is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 267 Ratings = 4.895
  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 Meadow Croft is based on 23 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 23 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.
