My husband Jim has settled in no bother he has made friends. He joins in with all the activities and enjoys them. In fact he has a better quality of life than he did at home as he would not do anything other than watch T.V. He has more company than he had at home and enjoys it and he loves all the
staff

Visiting my brother who is currently enjoying respite care at Barchester, I was first greeted by you wonderful staff who were so friendly. I was immediately put at ease with the wonderful comments and updates regarding him; comments were so complimentry of how he had settled in.
The facilities were
exceptional, bright, cheerful with a wonderful homely atmosphere. I was so impressed.
My brother emerged from the dining room having eaten a hearty lunch. He had a wonderful lighthearted air to him, which I've not see in years. He loves it there.
We sat for over an hour laughing, talking like of which I haven't seen or enjoyed for such a long time.
You seem to have re-awakened the spirit within him - just like the good old days.
Thank you!

Today I visited Barchester Meadow Park to visit my brother who was staying for respite. Previous visits with him at his home he barely spoke a word. Today he was bright, happy and smiling, talkative too! What a great change.
Barchester staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming.

It was a very hard decision for Mam to go into a Care Home due to her dementia and her care needs progressing. Initially it was recommended that she had respite care with being in hospital long term as Dad was her main carer and he was unable to meet her new needs. The Care my Mam receives is
excellent, I can not thank the staff at Meadow Park enough for the care and compassion they give my Mam, the staff go above and beyond to make sure my Mam is looked after. We are now hoping that she can stay there on a long term basis. Thankyou for looking after my Mam x

I can not speak any higher; they are all very good in what is not an easy job. The home is well looked after.

Absolutely fabulous! It's was very hard to accept that Mum needed full time care due to her dementia but the staff at Meadow Park go above and beyond. The staff and the manager are like part of our family now. The manager is always there and listens to you no matter how busy she is.
Mum is looked
after so well and she is happy and contented there. It is such a lively and happy place and the staff are always having a fun time with the residents.
Thank you for looking after Mum and being there for me too.

This has been a very challenging time especially for my mam but things have been made so much easier to deal with due to the support and care provided by Meadow Park. From day one my mam was made to feel welcome, supported, and part of the community. First impressions of the home is that it presents
a homely environment, the staff are friendly on hand to answer questions and supportive to residents and family. Management have an open door policy and available to speak to if required six weeks on and I am happy and relieved to see that my mam is receiving the care and support she needs. I would happily recommend Meadow Park for respite or full time care.

Staff are all lovely, nothing a bother to them, very helpful 100%. Meals well presented, excellent choice and all fresh. Dignity at all times.
Home well kept, and cleanliness at all times. Spacious home to walk round, plenty activities. Day rooms airy & bright to sit in and watch the world go by
out of windows if you need a bit of quiet time. Gardens well kept and lovely to sit in and sometimes help out.

I can't thank the staff enough for their quick action following a sudden decline in my dads health. They stayed with my dad until emergency services arrived and keep me updated at all times. After a short stay in hospital my dad returned to the home that he now calls his home. I have no hesitation
to recommend this home. The staff at the home are amazing and its piece of mind that my dad it getting well looked after.

Staff are excellent, caring & thoughtful, even though turnover appears high a very high standard is maintained. A suggestion is to try to keep same staff when possible on the dementia 1st Floor to maintain the resident carer relationship and if possible always female staff. Special mentions to 4
staff members in particular for their initiative and caring roles.

When a certain member of staff (which I won't name on here) speaks to a nearly 97 yr old with such a foul attitude is absolutely disgusting. This was infront of my mother who was visiting so I dread to think how she speaks to residents when visitors are not there.
Telling my elderly grandmother
who has dementia can not retain information that it's disgusting the amount of dirty laundry she's making. Also that it's ridiculous the amount of incontinence pads she was using. This was all said in an abrupt manner, she was spoken to after my mam reported it but my concern is how many residents does she do this to that can't speak up?
I will take this higher if I ever hear or see anything again.
Other than this one member of staff I can't complain about the rest as they are all fantastic just a shame one bad apple.

Very good care for my wife over the past three years.

My Grandad is thriving at Meadow Park.
Moving a loved one to a care home can be stressful, but it was the best choice for his well-being. He enjoys his independence with support from caregivers as needed. He takes part in group activities that keep him active and engaged.
I am grateful to the
staff for making his transition smooth and for creating a warm, welcoming environment that feels like home.
For anyone thinking about this care home, I highly recommend it.

My mam has been in Meadow Park Bedlington for almost 5 years and she has always received excellent care. She was put on end-of-life at the end of January 2024. However, she is now doing well again. I attribute my mam's recovery due to the exemplary care from all the hard-working dedicated staff.
Across the care home. Even if my mam only has weeks left to live, I know she is in the best hands. My family and I will be forever grateful to everyone at Meadow Park. Thank you.

Since moving into Barchester Meadow Park Care Home, Mam has made the most unbelievable improvement. I cannot thank the staff enough. Six weeks ago, I thought we would lose her and here we are visiting Mam in the most comfortable and happy surroundings. She is vibrant, chatty and full of life again.
Has made new friends and enjoys her chats with all the staff. Meadow Park has brought my mam to life again with their thoughtful, caring and experience. We have our lovely mam back, all thanks to the manager and all the staff. Thank you just isn't enough.

All the staff have put so much effort into making this an amazing Christmas for all the residents. The full monthly timetable, the activities daily, the food, the fair, and the parties. It's all an amazing time.
They have amazing meals with chats that let them talk about their past, learning
details about each resident.
I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for my mam, making her come out of her shell and truly feel comfortable.

My mum received the best care I could have wished for.
Caring staff, good food and very clean.
She was also treated with dignity and extra loving care during her last few days.
