Meadow Hill is more like a hotel with nursing rather than an ordinary care home. The staff are really helpful and welcoming as well as being totally professional. They have taken a huge load off my problems and I cannot imagine a better place for my partner.

My mum was in the new Meadowhill Care Home in Borehamwood for one week respite. She had a wonderful stay with excellent care. It really felt she was on holiday in a 5 star hotel, the facilities are exceptional & full marks to the Chef, she enjoyed every meal served.
All staff were so friendly, professional,
caring & kind & couldn't have done any more for her. She felt like a VIP.
Mum really did have a wonderful week & would certainly return in the future.
Many thanks to all staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Choosing a Care home can be extremely challenging and stressful, for respite for our beloved mum, choosing Meadow Hill from the start was so positive. The staff understood our concerns, and assessed our mum, compatibility for the stay, which was a home visit and health check, then a visit to their
beautiful care home, which has all the facilities, to ensure a full around the clock support, nothing was any problem and once settled in we could call to check the progress of how mum was doing, always positive, friendly. Mum was happy and looked well, and had bonded with all the staff, and we witnessed the genuine care and love. Our family would like to thank all the staff for love and care they showed our mum during her stay and we will be using them again in a couple of months time.
Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Meadowhill Care Home

Thoroughly recommend this care home. It is all brand new and very luxuriously decorated and comfortable. My mum has received first class care and attention. Great communication from staff.
Due to the fact that it is newly opened and not at full capacity, there currently are not many activities as
not enough people to participate in group sessions yet hence only the 3 star rating at the moment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Carehome has only recently been opened and is built to a very high standard with every amenity catered for along with some unique assets, such an orangery and a cinema.


My father was fortunate enough to stay here for respite care and was treated like a VIP throughout his stay. The process of

making sure his stay was going to be a pleasant one was spotless, along with the reception he had when he arrived, made his stay welcoming right from the start.


Each day has a different meaning to him that he recounts, telling stories of how enjoyed the varying activities, the pleasant conversations (and the occasional laugh) with everyone there. He will deffinately be going back.


The building may be new and clean, with all the amities you could wish for, but it's the people that make it work. The manager has managed to put together the crème de la crème of staff. Each person working there are friendly, efficient and dedicated to making the stay an enjoyable one.


Well done Meadowhill.

Not only is Meadowhill a stunning home, the care from the nurses and carers is outstanding. Everyone has been so kind to our mum and look after her every need. When the time comes when a parent needs 24/7 care it's a huge decision to make. We looked at many homes but as soon as we visited Meadowhill
we knew it was the right one. The team were great and very supportive. Thank you to everyone at Meadowhill for taking such good care of mum.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.279)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.279) out of 10 for Meadowhill Care Home 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.946 for Meadowhill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 92 Ratings = 4.946
  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 4.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meadowhill Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.533
  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.
