Meifod & Vicarage Court is a residential care home, tailoring care provision to support a wide range of needs for people with age related conditions such as poor mobility, general ill-health, or mental needs due to dementia by the fully trained staff team. Situated in a quiet and pretty location in Wrexham, a family run business since October 2019.

Activities are offered in the home with music, crafts and quizzes, as well as external entertainers/musicians booked regularly. Outside patio areas with plants and seating are available.

Lunch and tea service is prepared by Apetito who have teamed up with Wiltshire Farm foods to provide nutritious meals catered for the care home sector. Apetito cater for all dietary and medical needs including malnutrition, dementia, diabetes, and an award-winning dysphagia range.

The home is proud to introduce Ally Cares, a sophisticated artificial intelligence night time monitoring system that uses sound and motion sensors to enable staff to identify residents' needs from anywhere in their room. This cutting-edge technology enhances night time safety and personalises the care by supporting uninterrupted, restful sleep and freeing up staff to deliver more personalised care, by supporting residents at the right time. Ally has an impressive track record for care homes with a 63% reduction in night-time falls and hospital admissions by 56%. Check the Ally Cares website for more information.

To be perfectly honest Meifod Care Home is an extremely well-run facility. The staff are always very polite and helpful and treat my mother brilliantly. My mother is always well turned out and looks well nourished with clothes laundered and ironed. There are always snacks and juice available which enables
the residents to be well nourished and hydrated. All in all Meiford Care Home is an excellent place for the elderly and a credit to the care home profession.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5

When I visited my mum the first thing I noticed was that mum didn't have any teeth in. My mum would never ever be seen without teeth, no one would unless they don't care but my mum does, always does. Mum always prides on how she looks but now my mum has to depend on others. Other people may not care
how they look but my mum will never change. I always have a hard time with management at Meifod. I'm always made to feel like I'm always in the way so when it says visiting is any time, I find in my personal experience to be misleading. I was told today that I may not be able to see my mum and that has upset me and if my mum was told that she couldn't see me again that would kill her.

Reply from Nazmeen Arif, RI/Director at Meifod & Vicarage Court

I'm sorry that despite efforts from the management team to arrange a time with you to discuss your concerns, we have not been able to receive this time from you. I know that the manager has spoken to you several times about the remits of the service and we are always happy to discuss and resolve any experiences which were not to your satisfaction.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Both my mum and dad were admitted to Meifod in July after long stays in hospital following falls at home. My mum has dementia and my dad has very limited mobility so, unfortunately, they were unable to return home. This was obviously a very distressing time for me and my parents but the staff at Meifod
have helped to reassure me that they are well looked after and are now starting to settle in.
The staff are all extremely helpful, kind and caring and it is obvious that they treat all the residents with care and respect. I visit twice a week and my parents are both always clean and well dressed. I am kept updated on their wellbeing and informed straight away if they are unwell or need any medical attention.
Whenever I need to contact the staff to discuss anything, they always ensure that my concerns/requests are dealt with and I am made to feel at ease that they will arrange what is required.
I am happy that my parents are safe and well looked after by all the staff at Meifod.

Dear Karen, thank you for your review and I am happy to see that your expectations are being met, however, if there is anything else we can do to improve the service, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please also do come to the home when the activities lady is there as we have a lot of music, crafts and visitors at the home regularly. Thank you

My father was admitted to Meifod in an emergency after my mother his main carer was admitted to hospital. Without exception, every member of staff went out of their way to make his stay as comfortable as possible and I felt supported as a carer/family member. I felt reassured my father was in good hands.

The care my husband and I received at the home was the best I have ever known. Nothing was too much trouble. My husband had a very dignified end to his life that he was all down to the staff, from the lady who brought his clothes clean and fresh to the wonderful management. Thank to them all.

Dear Glenis, thank you for your feedback. Your husband's presence is still missed and mentioned by everyone who works at the home. It was a great honour to look after him.

In my opinion, Meifod House care home is an extremely well-run establishment and I am very happy that my mother is a resident there. The staff within the home are always polite, very courteous and very helpful. All of the needs of the resident seem to be extremely well looked after.
In short every

Our mum has been in Meifod since September 2020. We are more than happy with the care she is having, because of Covid, we have not been inside but have spoken to a few of the team and they are all very friendly. My mum has told us during a pod visit she is very happy and she loved them all. They have
also told us how much they love her. That in itself is enough comfort for us. Well done all at Meifod, you are a great team. Cannot wait to meet you all properly.

Dear Jill, thank you for your time and review. Please do arrange a face to face visit if you would like as these have been in place for several weeks now. We look forward to welcoming you at the home.

My mother is very well looked after at Meifod care home.
She is always clean and well presented with her hair neatly done.
She has a good rapport with the staff, and they seem to enjoy looking after her.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.747)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.747) out of 10 for Meifod & Vicarage Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.747 for Meifod & Vicarage Court is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.747

  • 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 Meifod & Vicarage Court is based on 22 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 22 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.
