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 has spacious seating areas and eighty per cent of rooms have en-suites. Two chair lifts access the upper floor and a passenger lift for the lower floor. The home is secure with ample parking.

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.

They also use Nourish Digital Care Planning to record, and plan accurate and personalised care information for residents which saves in administration and is up to date and individualised for each person. Nourish Care integrates with Ally to allow for more accurate documentation.

Mum has only been here for 2 weeks, having been in hospital for over a month due to a safeguarding issue at her last home. They are a friendly bunch, some staff more than others. Like most homes, there was a staffing issue the other night, but staff were switched round to accommodate. As they are in
the middle of refurbishment I cannot give more info at this time.

My father has been at Meifod for four years. The staff have always been attentive and kind. The previous owners were ok but I feel the new owners have improved the home. I am very satisfied with his care.

The care and compassion shown to my mum and support to our family through this difficult transition was amazing. Staff are always around and have kept us informed of my mum's progress and any needs she has. We visit throughout the day most days of the week and always found my mum to be well cared for.

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

Nicola, thank you for your review. It is much appreciated. We have made a lot of changes at the home since taking over in October 2019 and am glad that your mum is benefitting from this. Please let us know if there is anything else we could do. Thanks, Baz

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.
