The environment at Meadow View is beautiful, with spacious bedrooms with walk-in wet rooms, a sun terrace, welcoming lounges, a salon and cinema room.
Staff are passionate about enriching their residents’ lives, and every single day, come rain or shine, every member of the team stops what they are doing to spend time doing impromptu activities with the residents.
Meadow View is a thriving, vibrant home, where residents enjoy everything from baking, painting, gardening and reminiscence sessions, to pampering, live music and regular visits from their favourite therapy dog.
In July 2023 the staff organised a ‘Virtual Cruise Week’, where they transported residents to countries across the globe. The chef recreated authentic cuisine from Ghana, Portugal and Italy to name but a few, staff dressed to the nines and the residents took part in themed activities.
And talking of food, the home’s chef, who won Best Chef in the South East Region at 2023's Sanctuary Care Chefs’ Conference, makes delicious home-made meals every day, as well as home-baked treats for afternoon tea. She knows her residents’ nutritional needs and what they love to eat, spending time getting their feedback, which shapes her menus. And every day, she creates ‘show plates’ so her residents, particularly those living with dementia who may struggle to choose, can see and smell the food, stimulating their appetite.
The gardens are magnificent, with a summer house, wheelchair-friendly pathways and a water feature. This summer the residents enjoyed growing their own vegetables, harvesting them to use in the kitchen, giving them such a sense of achievement.

Beautiful home. Caring, thoughtful, supportive, warm clean. All the staff, from reception, house keeping, maintenance, kitchen, carers, team leaders and manager, couldn't be more helpful and attentive. My husband can be difficult at times, but they always manage to guide him in the right direction. They listen to my concerns and act on them immediately. Nothing seems too much trouble for the staff. Would highly recommend this exceptional care home. My husband is so happy and relaxd there.
Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback about Meadow View. We're delighted to hear that your husband feels happy, relaxed and well supported by our team.

Your recommendation is truly appreciated.
I visited my Brother (Steve) today, he must have had his medication changed because it was like chalk and cheese, he was so relaxed, never seen him like that before, he never got agitated as he has before, also it was like there were fifty staff on shift as virtually every quiet room etc. had a...

I visited my brother Steven for the first time today 16th July, my first impressions were it was spotlessly clean, signing in was easy, many more staff than his previous Care Home, all staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough for me, cup of tea, biscuit, my brothers room was large , shower /...
The whole building was immaculate, my brother was a lot calmer, the home was really like a 5 star hotel, so basically I cant thank the staff enough for all they do.

My Father recently returned to meadow view after a short respite stay. Michael and the team welcomed him like an old friend and nothing was too much trouble. The amazing staff helped him settle in and we could relax again knowing he was safe and being cared for. He loves the banter with the team and genuinely enjoys the atmosphere. EVERY member of staff we have met have been outstanding and updated us regarding dad's condition and needs. I would not hesitate to recommend meadow view and it's truly wonderful staff who always go above and beyond what is expected.

Nan has a beautiful sunny room opening to the garden and loves all her carers. Everyone is so kind and caring. Nana loves to have a chat with them all. Nan is in the perfect place for us to visit regularly, which is what we all need, as she is nearly 103 years old. Thank you!

There is a lovely, welcoming atmosphere in the home, and we are so grateful that we were able to get a place for our mum.
I visited a number of care home before choosing Meadow View for my father. Our family is truly grateful for the outstanding care he received. My father arrived in 2024 in a wheelchair and poorly. A year later he was walking unaided and a happy man.

My mother has lived at home with carers the last 7 years since her stroke. She is now having to sell her house to pay for her care. Her fear was to end up in residential care. Mum came to Meadow View with a very negative attitude. However, since Mum arrived at Meadow, the staff team have been nothing but helpful, empathetic, understanding and care for her needs. My mother has praised all the staff, is building relationships and coming to terms with the change in her circumstances. I have found the team to be helpful to us, her family, and they listen to us and act accordingly. We are happy with Mum's care.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how difficult such a big transition can be, and we're so pleased to hear that your mum is beginning to feel more settled and supported at Meadow View. Your kind words mean a great deal to us all.

The staff are incredibly caring and supportive. They display a complex understanding of dementia and utilise various tactics with the residents to ensure they eat well, stay calm, take part in activities and are happy. The staff build a rapport with residents, understand their own history, likes and dislikes for really personalised care. The home is always excellently clean, the rooms are comfortable and practical for care needs and homely. The staff are attentive also to family members by checking in and offering refreshments, making us feel like we are visiting a relative in their own home. The staff are worth their weight in gold. Definitely an amazing home. I feel they support and look after my relative as if they were their own family member - 5 stars!

Regularly visit a friend who lives at Meadow View Residential Care Home and have noticed a huge change in the activities taking place in the home and the little touches being introduced to enrich the lives of the residents. It is really a lovely place and the staff are really caring and kind.

My 97-year-old grandmother spent the final three months of her life in Meadow View and the care and attention she was given was exceptional. I will be eternally grateful for their kindness and patience towards her as her health gradually declined. The staff at all levels within the home were amazing and were always quick to update me on any changes or concerns they had with her. I can never thank them enough and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place for their loved one to be safe and well looked after.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a beautiful review for Meadow View, especially written at such a difficult time. The team will be touched to read your kind words about their care for your grandmother.
Mum received exceptional care at Meadow View. It became her home very quickly. Our family was always impressed with the level of cleanliness and organisation, communication from the friendly team was second to none. Overall we could not be happier with Mum's care in this amazing home.

Thank you for your five-star review for Meadow View, the team will be very proud to read your comments about your brother's care.
I would like to say my brother was in Meadow View Hersden for several years, the care and patience the staff showed him was amazing. We can’t thank them enough. Sadly he died but even in the end, they were the most caring anyone could ask for. I cannot thank them enough.

Each time she went in she was happy to return so we knew that we had got her in the right place now. She is very happy there and is well looked after and cared for.

The staff are fantastic, the chef who drops into residents' rooms and makes time to chat about what they like and dislike, others who spend time doing nails (and telling mum about their lives at the same time), others who have popped in on their day off with their friend and their baby as mum just loves babies and another who had been told where mum went for her honeymoon and stopped off to take a photo when she was on holiday, got it developed and gave it to mum. She treasures it and it’s these little things which make residents feel valued and loved.
I went in unannounced at midnight last week because Mum had been poorly and found a member of staff sitting in her room holding her hand because she was feeling low. The Meadow View team are really superb. Really glad CQC recognised the excellent manager and her team.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a glowing review for the team at Meadow View. It's heartwarming to read your wonderful feedback and I'll be sure to pass on your feedback. Thank you again.

Katrina — though she much prefers to be called Kats — is one of our night Team Leaders who brings a touch of magic to Meadow View. For the past three years, she’s been calming worries, keeping everyone comfortable and somehow managing to be everywhere at once when the bells go off to ensure everyone's safety. Her long days and even longer nights are fuelled by teamwork and a strong cup of black coffee — no sugar, no milk. What she treasures most is the relationships she builds with residents: the meaningful conversations, the shared laughs, and even the occasional difficult conversations that come with the job. Through joy, challenges, growth, and the odd tear, Kats remains dedicated to the dignity and well-being of every resident.
