Meadowcare Home works hard to ensure residents and their families are fully involved with the process of moving into care. The compassionate staff understand making the decision to move into a home is a difficult one and ensure the individual needs of each resident are always met.

An individual care plan is created to help get to know the resident and details of their life history. The home provides specialist Alzheimer’s care and care for those with behaviour that can challenge.

My mum was given the utmost professional care during the end-of-life care at this wonderful nursing home. From the moment I arrived on my initial visit, I was made to feel so welcome and this view was sustained by the actual experience. Warm, attentive, diligent staff. Inspiring activities, comfortable
communal areas and bedrooms. I highly recommend Meadowcare as a place where care is not just a word.

I had a good experience as my Mum was either in her room or in the downstairs room. The staff were very helpful in helping obtain a health declaration I needed.
One minor issue is that you can be stuck inside or outside the front door, waiting to be buzzed in or out. The bigger issue seems to be delays
getting out.

Reply from Francis Castillo, Home Manager at Meadowcare Home

Thank you for leaving us feedback. We do give the exit code to our visitors but not the entry code due to safety and security reasons. We apologise for the delays. We hope to give you this information and alternative ways to call on staff for assistance on your next visit.

Everyone you meet at the home is very friendly and happy to see you, which is nice. I always feel welcome when I visit my relative. The newsletter is always full of fun and interesting activities which are carried out monthly. My relative is very happy staying there and much prefers it to the place

Throughout the year the staff at the care home have done an excellent job caring for mother, who can be a handful at times. That's a lot to do where being in charge and not liking people telling her what to do. She has lost the power in her legs and can't get around, it's a real downer. Mum's always
been capable being a here, there, everywhere person. It's a real bane for her to comprehend.

We placed our mum with Meadowcare from October 2023 to May 2024 when she passed away. Throughout the process, the Meadowcare team were excellent at what they did, kept us fully informed about her health and happiness and cared for her brilliantly. At the end, the staff were enormously sensitive and
left us to experience Mum’s final moments. She had a peaceful and beautiful passing as a result.
We would highly recommend Meadowcare to others. Thank you Meadowcare for everything.

Hi, my mum received excellent care at the Meadowcare Home. She has come to think of the girls as part of the family and has offered them to come home with her. The atmosphere was upbeat and all around a genuinely pleasant place for her to reside while things were in motion to get her home. The carers
would go above and beyond in the care they took to look after her.

Meadowcare are brilliant!
My grandad was always looked after, he was always clean, happy and I don’t have a bad word to say!
The staff are friendly and caring. Thanks for everything you have done for my grandad, my family appreciate it all. In the last years of my grandad's life, we as a family felt
my grandad was in safe hands. If something was up, my family were always kept updated and informed. We had regular photo updates and could see how relaxed and comfortable he really was.
There were lots of activities that my grandad participated in, which he enjoyed and he always had a smile on his face.

Reply from Francis Castillo, Deputy Manager at Meadowcare Home

Thank you for taking the time to review us. It is our pleasure looking after your grandad. We always aim to bring smiles and loads of positivity to our beloved residents and to the people around us.

I would like to thank all the staff at Meadowcare Home for everything they have done to provide excellent care for my beloved father for 18 months. We were always made very welcome, tea and coffee on every visit. Excellent activities, friendly, helpful, and everyone always had a smile. I would definitely
recommend this dementia care home as one of the best in Bristol. Thank you Meadowcare Home.

Not sure if teeth cleaning is a priority, I know staff are very busy but dental hygiene is said to be important for general health.
Could residents be encouraged to go to the toilet as opposed to waiting for them to ask?
Everyone I have met at Meadowcare has been outstanding, always cheerful, alert,
helpful and kind, both to residents and visitors.

We are always welcomed with open arms, very pleased to how this person is being looked after with care and passion, we enjoy visiting. The only problem is the parking as we have a disabled car so it is a big problem on that road.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We always aim to deliver quality care to our beloved residents. I am sorry to hear about the parking problem. We do have an allocated disabled parking space in front of the care home, however, we cannot always guarantee its availability.

When your mum's GP describes the care home staff as very hardworking and very caring, you know you have found the right place for her. Meadowcare treats its residents and visitors as a family and is friendly and welcoming. There are lots of fun activities for the residents. Visitors are also encouraged
to join in too, which is great. There are celebrations of seasonal events throughout the year. My mum enjoyed her 93rd birthday with a delicious chocolate cake made especially for her and the staff all sang Happy Birthday to her. Photos of the many happy moments are displayed in the lounge and on the regular newsletter. The staff are also quick and calm to act in times of crisis, treating people with respect and care. Meadowcare is fairly small, with only 34 residents. So, the staff get to know them and their visitors well, which is lovely.

Whilst walking through this stunning home, that is set out with the residents in mind the staff are all friendly and approachable. I have visited this home on more than one occasion and every time I am blown away by the commitment and level of care that the staff provide to the residents. There is always
a warm welcome at the front of the home and the manager is friendly and easy to speak with and shows great pride and support for all her staff. Staff have shown good communication skills not only amongst each other but also with the residents, making sure that they are actively listening to the residents and respecting their wishes and preferences. They show a high level of person-centred values offering choices and making sure they work in a way that is best for the resident and how the resident wants. The staff are caring, compassionate, competent and committed to a high standard of care. Each and every resident's dignity is upheld to the highest of standards.

My Mum was taken into Meadowcare at the end of January as she entered the final weeks of her life. I cannot speak highly enough of the care she received. She was treated with respect, compassion and always in a dignified way. I felt she was safe there and always being so well looked after. This was
made possible by the staff - from the manager to the receptionist and all the care staff. Thank you for looking after my Mum in her last few days.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.829)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.829) out of 10 for Meadowcare Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.829 for Meadowcare Home is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.829

  • 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 Meadowcare Home is based on 19 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 19 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.
