I visited a number of care home before choosing Meadow View for my father. Our family is truly grateful for the outstanding care he received. My father arrived in 2024 in a wheelchair and poorly. A year later he was walking unaided and a happy man.

My mother has lived at home with carers the last 7 years since her stroke. She is now having to sell her house to pay for her care. Her fear was to end up in residential care. Mum came to Meadow View with a very negative attitude. However, since Mum arrived at Meadow, the staff team have been
nothing but helpful, empathetic, understanding and care for her needs. My mother has praised all the staff, is building relationships and coming to terms with the change in her circumstances. I have found the team to be helpful to us, her family, and they listen to us and act accordingly. We are happy with Mum's care.

The staff are incredibly caring and supportive. They display a complex understanding of dementia and utilise various tactics with the residents to ensure they eat well, stay calm, take part in activities and are happy. The staff build a rapport with residents, understand their own history, likes and
dislikes for really personalised care. The home is always excellently clean, the rooms are comfortable and practical for care needs and homely. The staff are attentive also to family members by checking in and offering refreshments, making us feel like we are visiting a relative in their own home. The staff are worth their weight in gold. Definitely an amazing home. I feel they support and look after my relative as if they were their own family member - 5 stars!

Regularly visit a friend who lives at Meadow View Residential Care Home and have noticed a huge change in the activities taking place in the home and the little touches being introduced to enrich the lives of the residents. It is really a lovely place and the staff are really caring and kind.

My 97-year-old grandmother spent the final three months of her life in Meadow View and the care and attention she was given was exceptional. I will be eternally grateful for their kindness and patience towards her as her health gradually declined. The staff at all levels within the home were amazing
and were always quick to update me on any changes or concerns they had with her. I can never thank them enough and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place for their loved one to be safe and well looked after.

Mum received exceptional care at Meadow View. It became her home very quickly. Our family was always impressed with the level of cleanliness and organisation, communication from the friendly team was second to none. Overall we could not be happier with Mum's care in this amazing home.

The girls and boys looked after my brother with great care, even when he went through difficult times and there were plenty and they were amazing. I will be forever grateful for their care.
All the team are true professionals.

I would like to say my brother was in Meadow View Hersden for several years, the care and patience the staff showed him was amazing. We can’t thank them enough. Sadly he died but even in the end, they were the most caring anyone could ask for. I cannot thank them enough.

Mum went into repsite at Meadow View Care Home four times before she went into permanent care in November 2023. Each time she went in she was happy to return so we knew that we had got her in the right place now. She is very happy there and is well looked after and cared for. She always seems happy
when we go in to see her every week. The staff are all friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
01 November 2023
The staff are the stand out strength at Meadow View Residential Care Home. My mum is in her 90s, frail, but very with it and has been resident for 3 years.
The staff are fantastic, the chef who drops into residents' rooms and makes time to chat about what they like and dislike, others who spend
time doing nails (and telling mum about their lives at the same time), others who have popped in on their day off with their friend and their baby as mum just loves babies and another who had been told where mum went for her honeymoon and stopped off to take a photo when she was on holiday, got it developed and gave it to mum. She treasures it and it’s these little things which make residents feel valued and loved.
I went in unannounced at midnight last week because Mum had been poorly and found a member of staff sitting in her room holding her hand because she was feeling low. The Meadow View team are really superb. Really glad CQC recognised the excellent manager and her team.

First-class service from start to finish. Very caring staff who took great care of my stepfather during his one-week respite care. Everything was very clean, lots of activities and could not fault. Ensuite rooms all well cared for and would not hesitate to place my stepfather in the home long term
if the need ever arises.
25 November 2022
The facilities were excellent. All members of staff were helpful, approachable, knowledgeable and caring. Communication regarding my mother's condition could not have been better. Although only a resident for a short period of time we could not have asked for more from the whole team at Meadow View.
10 November 2022
Mum has been in Meadow View for nearly 5 months now and I cannot speak more highly of them. The management and staff are wonderful, cheerful, really caring and understand her needs.
Mum mixes very well with the other residents and takes part in the activities. Meadow View is very good at
communicating with the family and responds well and promptly if there are concerns. I have real peace of mind that Mum is in the best place possible.
Thank you for everything you do for my mum.
PS the food looks delicious, especially your cakes!

Fabulous visit. Dad looked well cared for. I also like the way we are let know of any falls etc to do with Dad, good or bad.

The staff at Meadow View care home are responsible and very caring. Thanks for looking after my dear wife.

Mum has dementia, such a hard decision for anyone to put their loved one into care. Meadow VIew has enabled Mum to still live independently, but with the help and guidance she needs. She has settled in quickly and is happy. Thank you all.

My husband recently spent a week at Meadow View for respite care; he has vascular dementia. This was our first experience of respite care and I was very anxious about how he would cope. The staff I met and spoke to prior to his stay were very helpful and were able to answer all the questions I had
and put me at ease.
The communal rooms are clean and bright and felt very comfortable. My husband's bedroom was spacious and had a walk-in shower and a toilet en-suite. There was an armchair and a TV in the room, so he could sit quietly if he chose to. The staff who welcomed him and settled him into his room when he arrived were excellent. They appeared to have a good understanding of his needs and I felt confident leaving my husband in their care. When I collected him at the end of the week it was obvious that he had built a good rapport with the staff who had been caring for him and I would have no hesitation in booking him in for further periods of respite care in the future.
14 December 2021
This was my first visit to Meadow View. I was in the house for 1 and a half hours and saw only the entrance, screening room and my cousin's room. I met only two members of staff - so my knowledge and experience are limited.
I was impressed by the pleasant and professional approach of the staff who
received and screened us and the staff member who served tea.
The home seems attractive and well run.
07 October 2021
Mum seems very content and happy.
I cannot thank the staff enough, especially after the last 18 months for being amazing.
01 September 2021
I found the staff to be very caring and always pleased to speak to you about things.
My brother seems very contented there, which is peace of mind for the family.
