  • Meadow Bank Care Home, Preston
Nestled within the residential community in Preston, in Lancashire, Meadow Bank Care Home offers personalised residential, nursing and dementia care care to older people.

At Meadow Bank, there is a range of lovely dining areas where residents can relax and enjoy an intimate dining experience with family and friends. The catering team prides itself on making mealtimes a sociable and stimulating part of each day, by providing an enjoyable experience for all residents and their loved ones.

By getting to know each individual resident, colleagues encourage everyone to take an active part in the Meadow Bank lifestyle. Whether it be participating in the popular wellbeing and activities programme or supporting residents to embrace the peace and quiet the home has to offer, the team is committed to helping residents to lead their best lives.

Community is an integral part of life at Meadow Bank, and the team is dedicated to supporting residents in building strong relationships in the Preston neighbourhood, regularly organising events with local schools, charities and businesses in the area.

Having also recently opened a state-of-the-art Specialist Dementia Care Community (SDCC), Meadow Bank offers an enhanced service which focuses on the welfare and wellbeing of people who are emotionally distressed by their dementia and therefore require specialist care and support.

Recently, the welcoming care home benefitted from a significant refurbishment programme, which created modernised living environments, including a cinema (in SDCC community), which were designed to enhance the quality of life for all residents.

Dad unfortunately didn't have the best start to living in care establishments and as a family, we were uncertain of the move to Sabrina unit at Meadowbank. How our thoughts have changed, Dad has totally settled into life in Sabrina aided by a particular staff member and all the staff there. The care
they show Dad is 5* and handle his changing needs with dignity and respect, and are so welcoming to us as a family when we visit Dad. The unit has a homely feel to it, and I'm so glad we didn't let our past experience with other care units influence us to let Dad go. Thank you is a small part of how grateful I am for knowing Dad's looked after.

My dad is bedbound and is reliant on staff to get him up. We love it when they do this as it must be lonely in his room. Staff who go into his room are always cheerful. Dad loves to joke so it is great that they tease him and have a laugh with him. Dad also has a very sweet tooth. Staff pop into his
room regularly to ensure that he gets regular supplies of his favourite sweets and cakes.

The care and staff in the home are very good. The buildings and grounds could do with attention. Painting outside and gardens need taking care of. Dad seems happy in Meadow Bank. All the staff are good with him and even enjoy his singing.

Dad is well looked after. The staff are friendly whilst professional and care for the residents. Activities are varied and I know Dad enjoys any art or craft activities when these are available. My only concerns are that sometimes information is not passed on to family ie twice we were only informed
of appointments Dad had on the day, when letters were held for some time, and items have gone missing (glasses, teeth, others).

Mum came to Meadow Bank 13 months ago. I cannot praise the staff enough for their care. They're on the ball with everything from meals and how much Mum eats, she loses weight they want to know why. Medication is given at the same time every day. Her room and clothes are always clean and tidy. I recommend
Meadow Bank to all my friends.

Worst care home ever. My dad went into this care home because of his dementia and wasn't eating or drinking also falling at home. It started ok but on his first night there, he started shouting out (normal for people with dementia). They rang the following day saying they wanted my dad out and back
home. He couldn't go back home because the home wasn't safe. The manager at the care home said he is quite capable of making his own decision but the dementia team and district nurses said he was not. There were team meetings for what is next for my dad, the dementia team spoke to the manager of the care home and they still said that he was quite capable of making his own decisions, also the manager said to us and the dementia team that my dad did not have dementia. He didn't get the proper care he needed. I think all they care about is the residents that could afford to stay there and not really bothered about the residents that social services paid for. He is out and in a better care home.

My stepmum is relatively new to Meadow Bank. Obviously, a move like this is upsetting to a family but the entire process has been a very friendly and wholeheartedly supported experience. A very comfortable environment and nothing is too much trouble for the care team. My stepmum has settled beautifully
and feels more like part of the team than someone who stays there.

This review is for the Sabrina Unit at Meadowbank where my father was a resident until passing in November 2023. This is a great facility - new and homely and lovely light coming into the living room area, and has a separate cinema room. The staff have a karaoke machine that they use at intervals to
engage the residents in singing and put their heart and soul into belting out tracks.
When my dad needed to attend my Mum's funeral and needed extra assistance, two staff members needed to be with him - and they went the extra mile, coming in on a scheduled day off, which was much appreciated on a stressful day for the family. The home manager was very supportive and kind in this time period too, as was the senior who helped out.
All of the staff seem genuinely interested in talking and engaging with the residents at what's a difficult time for families.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.584)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.584) out of 10 for Meadow Bank Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 51 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.584 for Meadow Bank Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (421 Excellents x 5) + (138 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 596 Ratings = 4.584

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meadow Bank Care Home is based on 48 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 48 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
