Mum was a resident at Meadow Bank, in Sabrina House and previously Ribble House. Mum had a very happy 18 months at Meadow Bank before sadly passing away in December 2025. All staff worked miracles in supporting, encouraging and looking after Mum with exceptional care and affection. Mum enjoyed all
the various activities and always tried to keep her independence, even in care, and was encouraged to do so by all the staff. That meant a lot to Mum. Thank you to all at Meadow Bank for the superb care given to Mum in her final years and months, right up to the end. Meadow Bank is a fabulous, clean and safe care home, we found, complete with an amazing, extraordinary and exceptional team of experienced care professionals, who are kind, compassionate and very caring. In our opinion, Meadow Bank is one of the best, if not THE best care home in the North West, perhaps even the whole of the UK. Thank you to all at Meadow Bank for all the love, care and support that you gave Mum. You are the best.

My dear mum was cared for at Meadow Bank Ribble House in the last 8 weeks of her life after being discharged from hospital. She was cared for so very well and all the staff were courteous and kind to me and the family during a very stressful time. I can't thank them all enough and we will always
remember the kindness of the whole team.

My wife has been in Willow Community since December 2024. She settled really well. They have made her feel like one of the family. When I visit her every day they have made me more than welcome. I'm sure my wife feels like this is where she belongs. I would have no qualms in recommending Willow
Community at Meadow Bank.

Excellent facilities, staff very caring, patient. My dad struggling with many issue, never rushed time spent with him to ensure his best needs. Safty is great, and myself always made welcome.

This is my first experience of care at Meadow Bank. Very impressed with everything so far. I am fully involved with my husbands day to day care having looked after him at home on my own for some time. The staff are all aware of all my husbands needs they involve me and I feel we can work together,
this is a good feeling to have.

Mum moved into Willow House at the end of September 2024. Since moving there she has been much happier and more relaxed than when she lived at home. Sometimes she is a little confused about where she is and thinks she's on holiday in The Lake District. I think this is a good illustration of how
content she is at Meadowbank. In her younger years she spent many happy holidays in the Lakes. When I visit she is always nicely dressed and her room is clean, as is the communal area. The staff are friendly, welcoming and engaged with the residents.

My husband + I really enjoyed the valentines afternoon tea + party.
Everyone was clapping, dancing + singing along with the singer, who was very good. We all enjoyed the lovely buffett tea and the room looked great, decorated in a valentines day theme.
Thank you to the organisers, it was a great
afternoon.

What an amazing celebration for Valentine Day. The staff certainly pulled out all the stops to make it special for all the residents and their loved ones. It was first class - the decorations the buffet - the entertainment. I cannot find enough praise for everyone who made it possible and so
enjoyable. Well done & thank you.

Fabulous experience. The home is a credit to the caring profession from top to bottom. Such a comfort to know Dad will be looked after with lots of love.

My mum has been a resident in Willow House at Meadowbank for about 18 months now and in that time she has been treated with the utmost respect and kindness. She settled in very quickly which I was concerned about as she was already settled in a lovely care home, but as her needs increased it was no
longer the right place for her. The staff in Willow House were so welcoming and friendly so the transition was seamless. Mum has several health conditions and concerns but the staff are always very prompt in making sure she has her medication or if needed, has further medical attention. Willow House is a lovely homely place with fresh and modern decor. The rooms and communal areas are always tidy and clean. They have a full programme of activities and events and the atmosphere is always very positive and pleasant. The staff always look happy to be there and have a genuine rapport with the residents. Mum is very well cared for and I couldn't be happier that she is there.

Hi, my mum has been a resident of Meadow Bank Care Home Preston for the last 10 years. Recently though she has deteriorated quite a lot. Myself and my sister live abroad so we cannot always be there unfortunately so we do put our trust into the carers and management that she will be cared for.
Unfortunately, we have found that her care has been severely overlooked. Recently she was taken to hospital with severe dehydration which was due to not drinking and eating enough plus a urine infection. Surely this is a basic requirement for residents. I have been to and spoken several times to the carers at the home and also emailed but have had no response. The lack of communication is shocking. I agree our circumstances are slightly different not living in the country which is all the more important to communicate. I was not informed about my mum this time and have never been informed on other occasions when she has been taken to hospital or if she is ill.

Staff very kind and helpful but sometimes communication was not as good as it should be between different shifts.

The manager and staff are amazing, caring people, always kind and smiling. Very helpful and nothing is too much trouble.
