Situated in the busy town of Erith in Kent, Meyer House is near to the tranquillity of local countryside but close to the hustle and bustle of London. Staffed by a dedicated and highly trained team of nurses and carers, the purpose-built two-storey Home specialises in tailored nursing and residential care.

Meyer House cares for up to 28 residents, with single-room accommodation, each with ensuite facilities. The communal lounges and dining areas are pleasantly furnished with plenty of natural light and their conservatory leads out to a peaceful courtyard garden with raised flower beds.

Within the small friendly Home, entertainments include live music and musical theatre, quizzes, arts and crafts and fun charity events. Residents are encouraged to remain active and pursue hobbies and interests, both old and new.

One of the first care providers to champion the importance of nutrition for the elderly, Nellsar employ a Nutrition & Wellness Manager for their Homes. Meyer House acknowledges that nutrition and hydration are an integral part of good health and well-being, delivering well-balanced, nutritious meals and snacks to residents every day.

Meyer House also benefits from a Well-Being Team of fully-qualified holistic therapists who use nurturing touch, complementary therapies and relaxing treatments to improve residents’ quality of life and sense of well-being.

We would like to thank all of the wonderful staff at Meyer House for their love, care and support to my mother/grandma in her final few weeks and days.
We are eternally grateful for the dignity and love given to her during her end-of-life stay, and we know she was looked after, kept pain-free, included
in the activities when she felt able, and ultimately loved by all the staff.
Thank you all so much.

Reply from Silvia Barret, Operations & Compliance Manager at Meyer House Care Centre

Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience at Meyer House. Gives me peace of mind to know that the team from Meyer House did everything they could to care for your mum, treating her with dignity and love the way she deserved it. We are very sorry for your loss, and we will always remember her beautiful soul.

My mother was brought from hospital to Meyer house on 18.6.24 for end-of-life care. When I visited that day, I was very impressed with the cleanliness and professionalism of the staff. My mum's room was bright and airy. I was kept up to date about my mum's condition. Unfortunately due to my mum being
unable to drink or eat, she passed away three days later on 21.6.2024. I was informed immediately about Mum's passing. Many thanks to all the staff who were involved in the care of my mum.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

On the whole we are satisfied with the quality of care. Issues arise during meal times, if a resident needs the toilet. There is no sense of urgency from staff, resident becomes agitated, concerned that they will embarrass themselves in the company of others. Concerns that pad changes are not carried
out regularly enough, risk of infection. The care staff are kind and respectful/ night staff are more difficult to know about. The kitchen staff are helpful to the residents, domestic staff are excellent. Activity staff are excellent. The maintenance is good but it's an old building that is in constant need of repair and renovation. The senior staff are always on hand to ensure that residents, family and staff are supported at all times. Concerns are acted on quickly but at times there can be a Lack of feedback/ information re appointments from outside agencies. The front desk staff are helpful, respectful and kind to family and residents. I apologise if I have missed anyone out.

Reply from Alison Ruddock, Operations & Compliance Manager at Meyer House Care Centre

Thank you for your feedback which gives suggestions on areas we can focus on to ensure you have all the information you need and that service users get the most appropriate care for their individual needs. Any future feedback is welcomed as it is extremely helpful. Kind regards.

Friendly staff, nice people, excellent service, I'm very happy with their care, very recommended my mum is comfortable and eating more and drinking more, which is a relief but her ankle is a concern with the blisters but I did see the nurse for certain cream to use but other than that everything is
excellent.

Reply from Alison Ruddock, Operations & Compliance Manager at Meyer House Care Centre

I am delighted that you feel able to give such positive feedback of the service your mum is receiving and that your medical concerns have been discussed with the nurses for onward review and attention. Do not hesitate in asking for more information regarding her skin management if you need to ensure you are aware of the care plan in place. Kind regards.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Dad is happy and well looked after however some of the staff are a bit 'out of tune' to the fact that we are visiting. For example, when he is taken upstairs to the toilet he is often gone for a very long time also on several occasions he has been brought back down and taken to the dining room but the
staff member has failed to tell us he is back from the loo and we are left sitting waiting. This encroaches on our precious visiting time. The kitchen staff are very good and know what Dad likes to eat and on my most recent visit, one of the staff was really good and very attentive helping Dad to eat. Thank you Meyer House for taking good care of my Dad.

Reply from Alison Ruddock, Operations & Compliance Manager at Meyer House Care Centre

Thank you for your feedback and I note your frustrations when your visiting time is reduced through what would appear to be a lack of communication. We will ensure this will be addressed with the team promptly. Kind regards Alison

After a tricky time, things are improving. The Deputy Manager was very patient and listened to our concerns and was very apologetic on behalf of the care staff, although she was frustrated that I had to make her aware of a couple of things. Overall, Meyer House is a very good care home, always welcoming
and friendly. I know they all love my dad and feel confident he is well looked after.

We are satisfied with Dad's overall care. However, sometimes Dad has to wait a long time to be taken to the toilet which is quite distressing for him. We have also found nostalgic ornaments and photo frames have been broken and placed in a drawer. The breakages have never been reported by the staff.
We have raised this with the deputy manager by email but to date, we haven't received a response. It's upsetting that Dad's treasured possessions are not shown due respect. However, the staff are lovely, especially the entertainment staff and a number of the long-term care staff are exceptional. Dad always enjoys the food.

Reply from Alison Ruddock, Operations & Compliance Manager at Meyer House Care Centre

Many thanks for your feedback. I have investigated your concerns alongside another family member's similar feedback and I can only apologise for the upset this has caused. An urgent staff meeting was held to share the feedback and plan improvements with special emphasis on how to manage the resident's property. I am unable to discuss personal, confidential discussion points over this platform but would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your father's care in more detail where we can build his care plan and meet his and your expectations. I appreciate your positive comments relating to the care, recreation and catering staff who I agree do a sterling role. Please contact me via email if you are agreeable to a meeting and I will respond as soon as received. Kind regards, Alison

My father-in-law's room is bad. His chair was very dirty stains with stale food. Things broken or missing. Waits a long time to be taken to the toilet, found him in bed when he should be up.

Reply from Alison Ruddock, Operations & Compliance Manager at Meyer House Care Centre

Thank you for your feedback. I have investigated the circumstances that you raised and I am aware that the manager has contacted the family and responded in writing explaining the steps she has taken to address your concerns. This is far from the usual feedback we get and I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your family to plan a way forward in an effort to meet your expectations and improve your experience. I have visited the home since your comments to see how we can improve and I am pleased to say the standards I saw were positive and areas that could be improved were addressed immediately. A staff meeting was called and clear guidelines of how to manage resident's property were included amongst other discussion points. I sincerely apologise that broken items were not brought to your prompt attention and regret that this has caused you distress. Please contact me on my email below if you are available to meet up and discuss any further. Yours sincerely Alison

The experience for myself and my father so far has been welcoming, caring and very understanding. I cannot believe how quickly my father has settled into Meyer House Care Centre, this can only be because of the staff's positivity and patience with my father. He is able to be himself and continue with
using his independent skills. He has enjoyed the company of the many lovely, caring staff. He enjoys the food cooked every day and I have had lunch with him here. It was very nice. I will be having more lunch dates.

My dad was at Meyer House for over a year and a half via palliative care. He improved amazingly whilst there due to the care and treatment her received. The last few months/weeks of his life, the nursing staff made him very comfortable and free of pain. They all went into him and chatted to him as he
was bed-bound. I can't express my gratitude to everyone there for their kindness, help and care. He passed away very peacefully in the end, but his life there was wonderful and happy right to the end.

Reply from Silvia Barret, Operations & Compliance Manager at Meyer House Care Centre

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Your dad was a lovely person, and he will be missed by all of the staff. Gives me a lot of comfort knowing that you feel that he was cared for with empathy and love.

Every time I come to the home, I am made to feel very welcome by all. I always comment on the displays and the work the entertainment crew do, they never leave anyone out and they do an amazing job keeping spirits high. I hope if I or my parents need to go into a care home, I would choose Meyer House
above any other. I work in a pharmacy and when people come in whose loved ones need care, I recommend Meyer House. Can't praise the team enough.

My mother was in Meyer House for just over two years. Mum was traumatised when arriving but the outstanding care she was given brought her back to us. All the staff at Meyer House were kind, thoughtful and loving which is all we could ask for. Mum greatly enjoyed all the activities and the effort the
staff put into these events was amazing, be it a small or a large event. When mum was on end-of-life care there was nothing too small or too big for the carers to attend to for mum. Unfortunately mum passed away but my family would like to thank Meyer House staff for giving us another two years with mum.

Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to us. I am happy that you feel content with the care received by your Mum at Meyer House. Meyer House is like a big family, and your Mum was part of it. She will be missed.

Mother moved from another home to Meyer House. At first, she was uncooperative and took a while to settle, but now after the dedicated care, perseverance and understanding of the staff, she now seems more settled and contented. She enjoys all the efforts of the activities staff and enjoys great banter
with the friendly staff. Mum is not the easiest person to pacify, but Meyer seems to achieve it.

Reply from Silvia Barret, Operations & Compliance Manager at Meyer House Care Centre

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our service at Meyer House. Your Mum is a lovely person, but I do understand that was very difficult for her to move into a new care environment at that time. She needed time to develop trust in the team, and I am really happy to hear that she feels content and heard by the staff.

My mother-in-law arrived at Meyer House Care Centre about a year ago. It was a very difficult time for everyone, especially for a 95-year-old lady. As you can imagine she was very resentful of the move. Hated the home, the staff, but most of all her family. Over the past year due to the dedication fo
the staff she has started to get used to the home and started to relax and enjoy herself. She enjoys her food as the kitchen staff have taken time to find her favourite foods. We would like to take time to thank all the staff and management for their support and friendly manner.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.560)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.560) out of 10 for Meyer House Care Centre 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.560 for Meyer House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.56

  • 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 Meyer House Care Centre is based on 13 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 13 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.

Libby Mathew

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2019

"I started working at Meyer House in September 2019 when I was appointed as a Deputy Manager, and was proudly promoted to Home Manager in September 2021. Having started as a Student Nurse, I have been working in the Adult Care industry for over 11 years and I've developed and grown professionally throughout that time.


As a leading care provider, I have found Nellsar that takes the professional growth and development of every member of their staff very seriously. Since I joined Nellsar, I have had the opportunity to undertake many professional and learning developments required for my clinical development, including NVQ Level 5, ACAS Conducting Investigations, Skills For Care (Well Led Course), Practice Assessor’s Course, Pressure Ulcer training, Grey Matter training and Clinical Skills for Care.


Being a Nurse, I am able to know my residents well and cater to their needs, which brings me immense joy. When I am able to bring a ray of hope, or a smile to my residents and their families' faces, that’s the reward for me. Being a Nurse in India, we don’t get as many opportunities for learning and development, or as much support. Here, at Meyer House, I have been able to see and experience a variety of career opportunities and progression; I have been able to grow in my Career and explore different job roles.


When I first joined, most of our notes and documentation was paper based and slowly we have transitioned over to the digital care planning tool, Nourish. This means we have been able to cater to the different nursing needs of our residents in a more efficient way. We always strive to provide the best care and support for our residents and their families, inviting their input and including other Team members.


I have an excellent team at Meyer House whose prime focus is always our residents, who are the heart of our Home. My Senior Management team is very supportive and approachable. When I took over as Manager, I was overwhelmed by the care and support extended to me – everyone made me feel at ease and were always ready to guide me.


The best part about working with and leading a Care Home team is knowing that I am able to make a difference to a person's life and I am one of the reasons my residents are smiling. We at Meyer House are a big happy family, who always stand up for each other and offer the support we need."

Joined: 2021

"My name is Jibila Babu and I've been working as a Registered Nurse at Meyer House since May 2021. I have received continuous training since I joined the Home, including Grey Matter training, Fire and Safety training, MUST, Wound Care and other basic clinical skills training.


Working at Meyer House is really a pleasure, with supportive colleagues and care staff. One of the most positive changes I've witnessed in recent times is the adoption of the digital care planning tool – Nourish. Moving everything online not only saves paper and time, it means our care services and notes for our residents are more integrated.


The whole team, including the manager, is very supportive and always approachable. They have provided a tension-free, comfortable working environment and I love being part of such a leading Care Home team. I feel positively motivated and look forward to my future career at Meyer House."

“What I most enjoy about my job is seeing the residents happy and content. I love making a difference to their lives and it's wonderful to see them enjoying entertainment and interacting with other residents. I go home at the end of the day knowing I have made a difference and had an impact on others. The best thing about working as part of a team here at Meyer House is that you have always got someone to ask for advice and support you in what you are unsure about.


I joined Meyer House in 2014 and my current role is Senior Team Leader. Previously, I have worked as Team Leader, Medication Handout, Hairdresser, and I have helped out in the Laundry and the Kitchen at times too. I have seen many positive changes throughout my time here including the use of Nourish – an online care planning technology – which has made a big difference to the way we work.


I feel proud of my professional achievements. I achieved my NVQ Level 2 and 3, and love learning new things every day while working. I am currently waiting to start my NVQ Level 5 and I am really looking forward to doing it and learning new things.


In addition to my NVQs, I have completed all the mandatory training plus Health and Safety, Fire Awareness and Fire Marshal, COVID-19, Safe Guarding, Mental Health, GDPR, Palliative Care and End Of Life, and Bereavement. I look forward to more training for myself and my team in the future, including Train the Trainer; knowledge is the key to empowering staff to progress in their development.


Our team is very supportive and always willing to listen and help when they can – willing to listen to any concerns we may have and help as much as they can. Our Manager has always had an open door policy and will always meet your needs and concerns as much as she can. Together, we are putting the care back into caring; we work as part of a family as well as a team."
