Meadowfield House

A terrible place to leave a loved one. If you care for your relative get them out of there!

Terrible .... avoid if at all possible... some of the staff were very good but many did not speak English... replying yes to questions they did not understand causing, on one occasion, a serious fall.One gentleman fell in the night and was left for hours on the corridor floor with a quite serious injury.The managers could not be trusted to give truthful answers to simple questions.On the day of departure all bedding was removed leaving a person to lay on plastic sheet for several hours.One night during cold spell the heating was not working and the night staff did not appear to know how to turn it back on.One night the call button was not answered leaving person in urine soaked bed....Food was also very poor.Really not good enough... be warned.

A family member spent a couple of weeks here. Its good points included better then average food and some regular staff members who appeared genuinely kind and caring, if overworked. Areas for improvement included the building itself which had limited facilities for less able people, Very small rooms that were shabbily decorated, with stained carpets, and a smell of urine due to the widespread use of commodes and the lack of accessible toilets. There was little in the way of diversion or entertainment for the residents. Due to short staffing, waiting times for assistance were sometimes lengthy. Communication appeared difficult and messages left were not always passed on/ responded to. There appeared to be a lack of clear leadership within the home

Residents not given any entertainment

Very nice place

My Auntie resides here due to ill health. In fact, has done for over a year now.I can't speak highly enough of all the staff and management. They are very caring, helpful and professional.In my experience, my Auntie is in a safe, and well run residential care home.

Great

one of the nicest homes I've ever been too, friendliest staff, not the fanciest but where that lacks staff support and sence of community out ranks everything

Would just like to say my father is resideing here and what a brilliant home it is the management + staff provide exceptinal care and go beyond there care duties to make sure these residents are happy and well cared for its a very happy home and i would highly recommend it for anyones family keep up the good work you do a excellent job

A 93 year old relative recently sod t 6 weeks at Meadowfield and we were so pleased we chose the right place, they do really care and the ladies who run the activities are wonderful (the ooomph girls) we could not find fault.
