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.

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.

My mother was taken into care in October 2017 suffering from dementia. She was well looked after by the staff. She fell ill in July and was taken to hospital in an ambulance. What I find hard to believe is that no one from the home went in the ambulance with her. I arrived at the hospital two hours later to find my mother in A&E all alone and wondering where she was.

Thank you for your review and positive ratings and recommendation. I am really sorry to read your comment about the hospital, unfortunately it is not always possible to send a staff member in the ambulance because we have to make sure the correct number of staff remain in the home to continue to care for our residents. I can assure you there were two highly trained paramedics who attended the hospital in the ambulance.

The care my father received over two years he spent at Meadow View enabled him to enjoy a quality of life that would not have been possible had he remained under care arrangements at home. The standard of the rooms is excellent, as you would expect from a purpose built modern care home. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Meadow View Care Home at Hersden near Canterbury.
Thank you for your kind review Peter and we are delighted that Meadow View met with yours and your Father's expectations. It's a difficult decision placing a loved one into a Care Home but glad to see we were able to have an impact on his quality of life.

My father has been with Meadow View for the last two years. During his stay, the care he has received has been first class and the staff have been friendly and attentive. The room was excellent with superb en-suite facilities and a lovely view over the gardens. I could not have wished for a better environment for him and would like to thank the staff for all their care during his stay.
The care that Mum received at Meadow View was second to none! She presented with some extremely challenging behaviours due to frontal temporal dementia and was physically very active; wanting to go out for walks all the time. Staff managed this with great care, love, enthusiasm and an amazing sense...
During the year that Mum lived there, it was not only her home but somewhere that we could all visit and be made to feel welcome 'part of a happy family'. We never doubted that she was safe and well looked after and when she became suddenly quite poorly, staff responded professionally and efficiently; good communication with each other, GP and with family was maintained at all times.
I can never thank them enough for the peace of mind and for the quality of care throughout the time she lived there.
My previous place - 'Hades'. This place - 'Heaven'. The place is exceptional along with the staff. I have never experienced, anywhere, a more caring staff. In my case, in 'Hades', I was dying. Here, I have made a full recovery. I will always be very grateful for this place for giving me a future.

As a family, we were distressed and heartbroken when our father could no longer be cared for at home. Due to Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia, he was in need of 24-hour care which, as a family, were unable to provide safely. Our mother, who bore the brunt of the care, was suffering from carer burden. While our father was in emergency respite care, we began the upsetting task of viewing care homes. As a family, we found most homes lacking and could not agree. Some homes seemed caring but were old and dingy. Others were modern but lacked character. However, we were delighted to find "Meadow View". We can't thank you enough.

Each and every one of you has made mum’s time with you special. Your support and tenderness to her has been outstanding and can be recognised by the many statements of love she made to each of you.
We know that Mum’s passing will leave a space in your hearts as it does ours. But we believe that thanks to each of you, mum was able to enjoy her last years in a way that we could never have provided for and her final months in the presence of a wonderful team of caring and compassionate individuals whose only ambition was that her distress and discomfort were minimised.
Our heartfelt thanks for the kindness so generously extended to our mum and ourselves during her time with you.
A very well thought out building, providing a safe but homely environment. Allowing residents to live their life with dignity, care and support.

We have been caring for our aunt for 7 years now, she suddenly deteriorated needing 24/7 care. We visited a few care homes and they didn't provide what we wanted for our aunt, safety, companionship, activities, care and lovely clean comfortable room and ensuite until we were recommended Meadow View. From our 1st telephone call it was sold to us. The staff have been so supportive of auntie and us, auntie is safe, has a wonderful room, lots of activities etc, she looks better than she has for months (so do we). All in all, we can't recommend Meadow View enough especially certain staff. Thank you all so much.

The Home keeps you informed of your relatives welfare and condition and nothing is too much trouble. The staff are very caring and go that extra mile to make the residents feel cared for and comfortable.
You can visit at any time and are always made welcome with a cup of tea, so what you see is what is happening all the time, so no set visiting times. During the last days of my step-father's life, he was made very comfortable, staff were sitting reading to him during his last hours and the family feels assured that his passing was very peaceful.
Thanks a million to the staff, you deserve medals.

My mother has only been a resident at Meadow View Residential Care Home since 30/09/16. Already she has been involved in activities and participated in card making and reminiscing over pictures of places she and my father used to frequently go. I feel it is important my mother takes part in the homes daily activities as I believe it is helping her to settle in which has helped me to accept the situation.

My Aunt moved to Meadow View, as one of their first residents, after her dementia meant she could no longer stay in her own home. Right from the very beginning, it was clear to see that the home manager and staff cared greatly for their residents. I visited on numerous occasions and always found my Aunt well cared for and treated with dignity and respect. The home is secure, well maintained and in a lovely setting. I was always kept up to date with all aspects of my Aunt's care and fully involved in all decision-making. Sadly my Aunt recently passed away, however, I will always be very grateful to all the staff for making her stay a happy, cared for and fulfilling one.

My mother was one of the first residents to move to Meadow View, as soon as it opened. The care she has received has been excellent and she was able to settle in quickly and happily. She has made friends with other ladies of a similar age and is very happy with the care she receives form the staff. They are kind, considerate and make her feel valued and as contented as she can be, having lived in her own home all her life. The receptionist is a breath of fresh air and encourages the residents to participate in different activities.

No longer able to live alone, my mother moved into Meadow View where she was warmly welcomed. The staff were kind and friendly and quickly gained my mothers confidence. My mother quickly changed rooms at her request. While in the home she enjoyed some "treats" she had not enjoyed for a long time: A bath rather than a shower; having her hair cut by a hairdresser; a visit from a chiropodist. I don't believe we could have found a nicer home.
We felt that the home and treatment of my husband was bordered between good and excellent, as the home was relatively new there were some teething issues which prevented an excellent rating. I would not hesitate to recommend Meadow View to anyone.

My mum moved into Meadow View recently. During what was a very stressful time for the family the staff were very helpful and couldn't have done more to help us with arrangements. I realise this is a brand new complex but never the less it is beautifully maintained, with excellent decor. It is so welcoming. The family are now happy and confident that mum is being well cared for with dignity and kindness. This home should be blue print for all other homes.

There are lots of activities going on which mum seems to be joining in with and enjoying. Although mum hasn't been at the home very long, she does seem to have settled well.

My wife and I are impressed with the care that my father receives. My sister likes the house that our father is in. My father is not impressed with the fact that he cant have a lighter in his possession as to him being allowed to go out for a cigarette when he wants and also can't understand why he has got a door to the garden in his room, which is all locked up and not able to get out to enjoy his new garden seat outside his room.

I am so pleased to hear you and your family are happy with our home and the care your father receives. We always support our residents to sit outside and will always open the doors leading out onto the gardens if they would like to do so, however as a home where many people are living with dementia we do need to ensure they are safe so don’t leave the doors unlocked. In terms of having lighters, we always support residents to go outside and smoke whenever they choose to but again, with so many residents living with dementia it is important that lighters are kept in a safe place. I do hope you understand that everything we do is for our residents’ safety and well-being but if you would like to discuss this any further please don’t hesitate to contact me.

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.
