Thurlaston Meadows Care Home is a family-run care home that provides first-class care for elderly residents within a homely and relaxed environment. The dedicated and experienced caring team is committed to providing tailor-made care for each individual, ensuring each person is looked after with respect and dignity.

As well as permanent stay, the home also provides respite and recuperative care. Respite care allows the person's normal carer a break from their caring duties whilst recuperative care enables a person to recover from an illness or operation away from a clinical setting.

Thurlaston Meadows offers a choice of room styles to suit each individual's preference and budget. Some of the larger suites are designed for couples to share or for someone who requires more space.

Food is an important part of life at Thurlaston Meadows, providing healthy and appetising meals is a primary concern for the chef. Meals can be enjoyed in the bright and attractive dining room, in your room or outside on the terrace weather permitting.

Daily entertainment and stimulating events inside and outside are part of everyday life at the Meadows, which can be enjoyed by everyone or for those who wish to relax in a quiet lounge or library, this is available too.

I had 2 weeks respite care after an operation. The peaceful rural setting helped my convalescence and my stay enabled me to regain more confidence and mobility in order to return home. All the staff were friendly and helpful. If I had stayed longer I would have enjoyed taking part in the outings offered.
Many thanks to you all.

My aunt was with Thurlaston Meadows Care Home for 6 weeks, over that time we see a great improvement in her.
She was eating well, which she hadn't been. The staff were so kind to her, and friendly. I do feel she would have been quite happy to have been a permanent resident.

My mother was very happy during her 12-month stay in Thurlaston Meadows Care Home, nothing was too much trouble for the staff who are compassionate and helpful at all times. Lots of activities were organised and a real effort was made to keep the residents motivated and to make their stay in the home
safe and comfortable. Mum always looked very well presented and really enjoyed the delicious home-cooked food at the home. During my mother's final weeks in the care home before she passed away, the palliative care she received was uncompromising and gave us all the feeling she was being very well looked after and not alone. We can't thank all the management and staff enough for looking after Mum for the last year of her life, I know she was always very happy in Thurlaston Meadows throughout that time.

Reply from Elvira Demaine, Home Manager at Thurlaston Meadows Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your mother's care at Thurlaston Meadows. We appreciate your kind words and are pleased to hear that you found the care provided to be of a high standard. We are committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive palliative care to all our residents and I am grateful that the care team was able to support your mother during her final weeks. We extend our sincere condolences to you and your family at this time, your mother will be missed by everyone at Thurlaston Meadows.

Since my aunt has returned into Thurlaston Meadows Care Home she has returned back to her previous pre-hospital self. Since the pandemic she has suffered badly healthwise, especially being in hospital for a good proportion of the last 12 months. Her newfound brightness and enjoyment of life again is
incredible to see, this is purely down to her fantastic care at Thurlaston. In the last three weeks she has mixed more, joined in activities and actually been out on trips more than the whole of the last four years. The staff are amazing.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

I spent a week at Thurlaston Meadows recuperating from major surgery. It's in a small quiet village overlooking open countryside. My individual en suite room was pleasantly furnished and very comfortable. I especially appreciated the electrically operated rise and fall bed, new TV, adequate wardrobe
space and comfortable chair with footstool. All staff were caring, helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. There seemed to be adequate numbers of staff at all times. I was very grateful that they were able to pick me up from the hospital in a vehicle equipped with ramps and a wheelchair on hand. There were several choices for each meal and portion sizes were generous. My only minor quibble was the very early dinner time (5-5:30) but can understand the challenges of serving so many people and that this tends to be normal practice in the care sector. Overall a satisfactory experience and I would highly recommend this place for anyone in similar circumstances.

Reply from Elvira Demaine, Home Manager at Thurlaston Meadows Care Home

Thank you for choosing Thurlaston Meadows to assist with your recovery. I am glad the staff were helpful, the room and furnishings were of quality to meet your needs. I apologise that it was not made clear that it is residents' choice to have meals at alternative times if preferred. I will feedback this to our staff to ensure this is made more clear on admission in future. Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it.

My mum was admitted to hospital with severe dehydration and was very poorly. Also, she has dementia. She went to Thurlaston on a discharge to assess for five weeks. The care she received was outstanding and turned Mum's life around. She was walking better, sleeping better - a totally different person
and able to take part in activities during the day ie Bingo, quizzes and dominoes. All the staff made Mum feel very welcome and cared for and gave her a meaningful hug on departure. Thank you to everyone who helped Mum onto a better future.

When the time came for Mum to need full-time care, I felt happy leaving her in this home, with its lovely setting in the village.
The staff were very caring and kept me informed about her welfare.
Night staff were very patient with her, she was warm and comfortable.
The home is not too big and the
lounge has a very homely feel to it.

I am writing this review as I feel that the staff and service providers at Thurlaston Meadows deserve recognition for the wonderful service that they provide. My brother and I were both sceptical about our father going into a care home and we had our reservations as to whether it was a good idea or
not however when our father went into Thurlaston Meadows he was welcomed by all and treated with kindness and dignity in a warm clean friendly environment. The care staff should be recognised for their constant support they always tried to encourage our father to join in the many activities on offer many of which he enjoyed. Our father passed away in December and the staff continued to be helpful and support to us at a difficult time. I do not write reviews as a rule but in this instance, I am happy to do so.

My mother stayed at Thurlaston Meadows Care Home for 1 1/2 months after being hospitalised by a series of falls. We found the home to be clean, inviting and homely. I thought it seemed like a home rather than an institution, for example: friendly and welcoming. The staff are superb and could not help
us enough. If I had to be critical I would have to mention the lift which is old and needs updating otherwise in our view Thurlaston Meadows is very good indeed.

Thank you for your review of our lovely home. We are pleased that your mother enjoyed her respite stay here with us. We will pass on your lovely comments to our staff team. We appreciate your feedback about the lift and whilst it is an older lift it is maintained and inspected on a regular basis. We do also have plans to improve the home and a replacement lift is included in these plans.

My father-in-law was at Thurlaston Meadows for Rehabilitation Care from September to December 2023. During his time there he made many friends amongst the kind and caring staff, and enjoyed the variety of activities laid on, from crafts to musical entertainment. He was particularly complimentary about
the quality and variety of the food. He was an exacting man with full cognitive awareness and strong views so he would have quickly raised any issues, of which there were none. I must especially thank the home manager and all the staff for their generous and loving support to both him and the rest of the family on the sudden death of his son during his stay there. We could not have asked for better care during his final days.

Reply from Karla Embry, Home Manager at Thurlaston Meadows Care Home

Thank you so much for your fantastic review of our home. During his stay, your father-in-law regularly sent compliments back to our kitchen staff about how amazing the food was. He always joined in with the activities and enjoyed going out of the home on our organised trips. The staff at Thurlaston treat everyone as being part of the Meadows family and whilst it was a difficult time losing his son we are grateful that as a family you felt we supported you all through that as well. Everyone at Thurlaston will miss this true gentleman.

The care staff are excellent with my aunt who after a hospital visit was unable to live independently at home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.737)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.737) out of 10 for Thurlaston Meadows Care Home 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 23 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 4.737 for Thurlaston Meadows Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 259 Ratings = 4.737

  • 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 Thurlaston Meadows Care Home is based on 23 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 23 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.
