My mum has been a Meadowvale since July 2023. I noticed a big change in a few months of her being here. She was knitting again, doing all kinds of activities. She has made a few friends who she sits with. The staff are very good and my mum feels comfortable with them. All her room is lovely and she
keeps telling me that she loves staying here. I feel more at ease knowing Mum is being cared for and looked after.

My mum arrived at Meadowvale in April 2023. During this time there were several declines in her health. The staff were patient, diligent and the care of my mum was always a priority. I was swiftly alerted of any falls or changes and always confident of a high level of care provision. This was evident
during my mum's final days where she passed away peacefully in the comfort of her room and the care, dignity and respect she deserved. I cannot rate this care home high enough.

My mum has been at Meadowvale Care Home for a while now, and I can't say enough about how wonderful the staff are. They're incredibly compassionate and always go the extra mile to make sure she feels cared for and comfortable. It's clear that they genuinely care about each resident, and it shows in
the little things they do every day.
The care my mum receives is top-notch. They attend to her every need with such professionalism and kindness, which has made a huge difference in her quality of life. I'm also really impressed with the improvements happening around the home. The building is being refreshed, with modern upgrades that make the environment even more welcoming and comfortable. It's reassuring to know that Meadowvale is committed to providing the best possible living conditions. It's a relief to have found a place where my mum feels at home and well taken care of.

The care my mum received in the last two years of her life was above and beyond. She was always treated with dignity and respect. All members of staff were extremely friendly and approachable. I was always kept well informed on how my mum was doing. I would definitely recommend this care home.

A wonderful care home that treated my gran with respect, kindness and dignity. Never any worries. We knew any issues would always be handled with my gran's best interest and safety in mind. Would recommend this care home to anyone looking for a safe and friendly place for their relative.

My gran was a resident with Meadowvale for a little under a year. The staff were always great with her. Sadly, my gran passed away while living in the home. I was so grateful for the care and support the staff showed to both my gran and myself. They constantly kept me well-informed about my gran's situation
and what they were doing to help. When the time came, the staff were so caring, they monitored her closely and did everything they could to reduce her suffering. I feel like the staff made real and meaningful personal connections with my gran and they made her last year as enjoyable as possible.

My wee Dad is happy and content with his life at Meadowvale which gives me great comfort knowing that he is being well looked after. He always says nothing is a bother when he asks for anything and particularly how good the food is. He enjoys a wee game of dominoes with his favourite ladies and seems
to enjoy the daily activities. We had a lovely Valentine's lunch and I have to compliment the staff for all their efforts, they went above and beyond. All the team members who I have met are lovely and I feel my Dad is in safe hands. His mood is so much better now and at the end of the day, it’s what’s best for him.
Thank you all for taking such good care of him.

Been a year since my family member has been with you. All staff from domestic to management have shown a balanced level of friendliness and professionalism. Seeing a loved one, happy and well cared for is one less worry for us. From entering the main door, it feels like a loving family and not a care
home.
Five stars highly recommend.

I can sleep at night knowing that my husband is well looked after. The staff are so kind and caring, and nothing is too much trouble. The staff are hardworking and always on hand. He really couldn't be better cared for. He has a good selection of meals, which he enjoys, and the staff are always cleaning.
He is being treated so well by everyone. Thank you!

My Mum moved into Meadowvale last December and I was very worried about her settling in as she's 93 with advanced dementia. My worries were unfounded because the staff are absolutely amazing and I would give them 10 stars if I could. Every one of them has been fantastic with Mum and with us too. I can't
recommend them highly enough.

Meadowvale Care Home, like many others, could do with a little TLC. The staff seem to be very caring. My mother entered Meadowvale a few weeks ago. At first, there were a few issues but everything was settled quite easily. The management team are quite approachable and takes the time to listen to any
concerns the families may have. The nursing and care team do a great job looking after the residents. My mother seems to have settled in quite nicely. We are going away for a break and the team have assured me that if there is a problem they will contact me. The family are just so pleased that she will have care twenty-four hours a day, and we can relax knowing that she is safe and cared for.

Over the four plus years, the support provided to my brother has been at a good standard. It has improved over the period due to my brother accepting that he had to remain in care for his own good. Consequently, the rapport between the competent staff and him reached a very positive level which continued
until his sad death in May 2022. The staff made his time there productive and comfortable.

My father has lived at Meadowvale since August 2020. Dad lost his sight and needed more care. He has never been happier; he loves life again. The carers are amazing, he loves chatting and joking with them. He is very well looked after, and in his own words, "it's the best thing I could have done for
him was to move him here", he feels safe, clean, well-fed and cared for. As a daughter, what more could I ask for.

Reply from Susan Macdonald, Home Manager at Meadowvale Care Home

What a wonderful review of Meadowvale Care Home. Thank you for your very positive feedback. We are delighted that you chose us as your preferred home for your dad. Its always good to talk and share how things are going and I look forward to catching up with you in the near future.

My aunt has been in this care home for a few months now and has settled in really well, She is well looked after, and the staff are so amazing with her. Every time I go to visit, she is so happy; she loves getting her hair done and comments on how nothing is ever too much trouble for her. It was difficult
during the Covid-19 outbreak not to be able to see her, but the home arranged FaceTime and assisted her with this. Thank you for looking after my aunt. You are all amazing.

My father-in-law has recently moved into Meadowvale and the staff have been fabulous with him and our family. He was moving from another area council and Meadowvale made what is a very stressful family situation so much easier.
On his arrival, they met all of us and explained all about his room and
dinners and nothing was too much for them. They had prepared his room for his arrival with all his personal belongings which was a lovely touch and made this space feel like his from the start. With the support of the brilliant staff, he has settled so well and loves the food - high praise indeed! Communication from the team is excellent. They took time with him to get to know what he liked - even to how he liked his cup of tea. They are a credit to this care home.


Thank you so much!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.879)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.879) out of 10 for Meadowvale Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.879 for Meadowvale Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 140 Ratings = 4.879

  • 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 Meadowvale Care Home is based on 12 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
