Review from Maureen J (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Always friendly, approachable staff who are welcoming and offer tea or coffee. Mother's needs are met and her demanding ways are dealt with patiently. Sometimes I feel the staffing levels are a little light and it does not give the carers time to carry out all their duties as they would want to.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my mother first came into Meadowbrook, we as a family didn't think mum would settle, but how wrong we were. We and mum couldn't be more happier, the staff are very caring and helpful nothing is too much trouble for them, mum likes to take part in all activities and the motivation she has off staff
is great, it's a really lovely place to be in.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.740)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.740) out of 10 for Meadowbrook Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.740 for Meadowbrook Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.74
  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 Meadowbrook Care Home is based on 15 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, which has been reached with 15 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.

Job Title: Head of Maintenance Joined: 2025

Hi, my name is Tommy and I am the Maintenance Manager at Meadowbrook Care Home. The chance to have contact with the residents and the interaction is so great, when working at Meadowbrook, no day is the same. It is also good to have residents ask me to deal with an issue within their room and have a little chat with them at the same time. I am enjoying working as part of such a diverse team and ensuring the presentation and safety of the home is paramount in my day-to-day responsibilities.
