  • Meyer House Care Centre, Erith
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.

Meyer House also uses bespoke online care technology ‘interactiveMe’ as a way of further personalising their residents’ care, and as a tool for connecting individuals with their family and care staff around them. This personalised-online profile offers a wonderful tool for reminiscence too.

Whenever we visit unannounced, our resident friend at Meyer House is always in good spirits, happy and looks well cared for. The staff there are kind, helpful and patient and above all, caring. The place is spotlessly clean and tidy too, with stimulating events put on.

Mum has been living here for almost four months and the difference in her is amazing! The staff are all wonderful. They have taken her out and even ordered her in pie and mash. She is no longer depressed and all of her nursing needs are being met. It is a small, very friendly home and the whole family
are so pleased that she is being so well cared for.

The staff have gone above and beyond to ensure that my mum has stayed well during this period. This was not east at the beginning; she was not eating or drinking very well. They have kept our family well informed. They have treated my mum and our family with compassion and kindness, and during what

Although I haven't been able to visit my mother because of lockdown, myself and other members of our family have been able to do video calls to her, thanks to the staff, which she really enjoys. As a family, we are all very impressed with the management and staff for keeping Covid-19 out of Meyer House,
therefore keeping our loved ones safe.

The staff have been amazing during this current lockdown situation. They have kept us all in touch with what is going on in Meyer House, by emails and calls. We Skype call to speak to my Dad and this has been a huge help as my Mum is able to see Dad without going to visit. An amazing team who go above

We are so very grateful for the loving care and support the manager and carers of Meyer House gave to my mother whilst in their care. We couldn't have managed without them. Mum was quite happy and well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The house is run by a lovely lady who really

Myself and my family cannot speak highly enough for the care and attention that was given to my mum who was suffering with dementia. The carers, down to the admin on-site treated my mum as if she was their own. For the whole period my mum was a resident, we saw a significant change in her. Always happy,
laughing, always clean and tidy. The hygiene was second to none. The home is spotless and the activities we of a very high standard. When my mum dies on 27th February 2020, the carers were a tower of strength towards us. We shall miss them dearly.

Dear Valerie, I am really sorry for your loss, your Mum was a lovely Lady, and I am glad that Meyer House Team cared well for her. Thank you so much for your positive review, is very important to us to know that we can change people's lives for better.

On first visit I was greeted with a smile and asked if I needed any help. I was taken to the room needed and asked if I would like a cup of tea.
On future visits the same process was gone through. No one was on the desk when I went in, staff came and asked if I would like a drink.

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."

Jibila Babu

Job Title: Registered Nurse

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."

Job Title: Senior Team Leader

Joined: 2014

“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."
