My family were anxious for Mum to be a resident here, but she was adamant that she wanted to stay in her own home. Pleased to say that eventually, after a month's "trial," she is extremely happy and we are all so relieved.
Only criticism is that Mum's dementia means she leaves dirty clothes and underwear
on radiators and the carers aren't allowed to put them in the laundry bin. Mum is highly independent but needs pushing in this respect. We also seem to push for doctor visits.

Reply from Elaine Ratcliffe, Home Manager at Lincroft Meadow Care Home

Thank you for your feedback, and we will of course act upon the points you make. We are glad though that your mum has settled with us, testament to all of the staff team involved in that, as we know that many residents are anxious about such a change, which can be unsettling and confusing. We look forward to continuing to look after your mum, and to ensure that she lives an active and fulfilling life, and retains as much independence as possible.

My wife has been at the care home since the 28th of September. The facilities are excellent. Always clean and tidy. The accommodation is very good. Nice spacious ensuite room with a personal television. In addition, the two day rooms provide a pleasant place for visitors. Food is very good. In addition,
the downstairs café provides a nice change. The management are extremely helpful and understanding. The staff, from reception to carers and nurses, are very caring and genuinely care and take an interest in all patients. There are lots of activities that cater for everyone. My wife is in a good place.

Reply from Elaine Ratcliffe, Home Manager at Lincroft Meadow Care Home

It is pleasing to know that you feel your wife is in good hands, as peace of mind for family members is an important consideration for us. We are also grateful for your acknowledgement for the contribution for all of the staff team, and the care and resident experience they provide, as everyone here at Lincroft Meadow seeks to make a difference for our residents and their family members, every day.

After a very difficult time with both my parent's health deteriorating rapidly within 2 weeks, we had found ourselves in a crisis.
Lincroft became our lifeline.
My father sadly passed away, leaving my mum distraught with overwhelming anxiety.
The client manager was very supportive from day one.
She empathised with the situation we were all in, and did her very best to help us.
The carers/nurses have been amazing with my mum, spending time reassuring her and just listening to her, and offering her such warmth and compassion with their care.
I can honestly say I have seen a change in my mum's well-being, both mentally and physically, and this is due to each and everyone at Lincroft.
"Thank you" for looking after my mum who is so precious to me.

Reply from Elaine Ratcliffe, Home Manager at Lincroft Meadow Care Home

As well as providing the best in care for our residents, we are also focused on supporting the families at what can be a stressful time, so it is pleasing to hear that we were there for you and your family during this period. All of the staff involved will really appreciate your recognition of their understanding and dedication. We are also pleased at your mum's progress in her health and well-being, and all of our residents are precious to us too, as we know how important they are to you and other family members. Thank you.

All the staff we have come across have been genuinely kind and caring, right through from the staff in the office to the nurses on the floor. Nothing has ever been too much trouble, even in the first few days when Dad entered and I was on the phone or sending an email every five minutes!
The home
itself is lovely and welcoming for residents and visiting family members alike.

Thank you for your kind words, and that you recognise the genuine care and dedication that we expect from all of our staff team, whether they are care or support roles; they will really welcome that feedback.

Lincroft Meadow is a wonderful place. My mother received excellent care. The staff were so welcoming, caring and understanding. It was lovely to be able to personalise her room to make her feel at home. Lincroft exudes such a friendly atmosphere, shown to relatives as much as residents that one quickly
feels that it is one big caring family. Being a modern, purpose built home it is like an all inclusive five star hotel and there is so much on offer. The carers helped Mum go to various activities, her own hairdresser was able to use the salon, the visiting chiropodist worked wonders with her toe nails and she loved having coffee and cake in the bistro and attractive garden - and smelling the lavender! The nursing and personal care were exemplary and the staff were so aware of, and attentive to, her needs. Lincroft's working relationship with a local GP gave enormous confidence when medical intervention was required and Mum's brief end of life care could not have been managed better.

Reply from Elaine Ratcliffe, Home Manager at Lincroft Meadow Care Home

We are genuinely bowled over by your wonderful review of all that we do for our residents and their families here at Lincroft Meadow. The whole team play their part in delivering such a fabulous service, and they all appreciate such great feedback. To hear that you felt that the care was exemplary means everything. It is also lovely to know that we appropriately supported your mum, you, and your family through such a sensitive time. Thank you.

My mother is very happy at Lincroft Meadow. She has been a resident for more than six months. We found it difficult to find a home that felt right, but as soon as we visited Lincroft Meadow we knew we had found the right place for her. It is a warm, caring and stimulating environment for her and it
is such a relief for us to know that she is being well looked after and is so happy. She enjoys the company and the range of activities and sometimes says it is almost like being on holiday. It is a pleasure to visit her and we always feel welcome. Being able to help yourself to a coffee anytime and bring your dog to visit makes it feel more like her home. The facilities are very good and her room is attractive and well presented but it is the staff who are exceptional. We have been impressed by their warmth and sense of fun and our mother really values this too.

Reply from Elaine Ratcliffe, Home Manager at Lincroft Meadow Care Home

Your feedback will warm the hearts of all the staff here at Lincroft Meadow, as your words encapsulate why they do what they do, and with such dedication. To know that your mother feels as though she is on holiday, and that you feel like it is her home, and that we have taken the worry away for you is lovely to hear. We know that she appreciates visits that include the dog too! Thank you.

I have to admit that I was dreading moving my sister from her home into Lincroft Meadow, as she was decidedly opposed to the whole idea. In fact, the experience was much better than I could have envisaged. The move was made as smooth as it could be, the kindness towards my very confused sister was genuine,
and I felt reassured that I was leaving her in safe and gentle hands. Although it's still very early days, I am so pleased that we have chosen Lincroft Meadow.

Lincroft recently excelled in the celebration of my relative’s 101st birthday. We were overwhelmed by the effort made by all the staff to ensure her special day was one not to forget! Her birthday party was
attended by over 20 guests, beautifully catered and the attention to detail was greatly appreciated.

Lincroft Meadow was home to my father for the last 5 months of his life. It is a beautiful home, with excellent accommodation, facilities, food and care. It is made by its staff, genuinely kind and caring people for whom nothing is too much trouble, whether for residents or their families. Dad settled
into a good routine. He kept his dignity and humour throughout in no small part thanks to the efforts of all of the staff who knew him personally. He enjoyed the cafe and garden, the occasional outing and the dining room - and his daily glass of wine. The transition from active resident to end-of-life care was fairly swift and really well handled by the home, we could not have asked for more. We always felt welcome and informed and knew that he was in good hands; whilst it was our first such experience, we really benefited from the great knowledge, experience and kindness of the Lincroft team.

Reply from Elaine Ratcliffe, Home Manager at Lincroft Meadow Care Home

We were so pleased to have found such a warm, caring environment for Dad in his final months. Lincroft Meadow really felt like a second home - friendly, welcoming, and such a pleasant place to visit. It was a huge relief to know that Dad was in safe hands and would receive outstanding care around the
clock. We were particularly impressed with how well the staff kept us up-to-date on Dad's condition and liaised with us to make the best possible decisions on his behalf. Just as importantly, as his health declined, we knew that the final chapter of his life would be filled with kind words and friendly faces.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The Lincroft Meadow staff have been truly outstanding in their kindness and support for Mum since she moved in at the beginning of October. Every member of staff with whom we've interacted has seemed genuinely caring and kind; their patience, stamina and kind attentiveness have been exemplary during
a transition period that Mum has at times found disorienting.
The quality of the facilities at Lincroft is also excellent. Mum has a lovely room, and the ample, well-kept provision for care needs and for activities and entertainment is remarkable. We've not seen anything like the abundance and range of daily activities laid on for residents in any of the other homes that we've visited.
Perhaps what's most telling is the genuine enthusiasm that staff seem to feel for working at Lincroft and being with the residents. So many of them have said that they honestly love working there, and their ready, kind smiles contribute hugely to the ethos of this special place. Thank you!

Reply from Elaine Ratcliffe, Home Manager at Lincroft Meadow Care Home

Thank you so much for the incredible review, our team will be so delighted with this feedback. We are so thrilled that Mum is happy in the home and really feels part of the Lincroft family as the team really are passionate about care and its fantastic this comes across so well.

Amazing - the decision to move 101 year old Nan here (from another Home) was made instantly on the initial 1st class, reassuring visit and show around. Not only is this Home perfect, it is complemented by full staff who go over and above on every occasion. Nan has settled so happily, whilst lapping
up the ambience and interaction. Her appetite’s returned and when visiting we go to the Bistro for coffee and cake - all complimentary. Nan’s comments have been:
‘What’s the name of this nice hotel?’
‘It’s lovely here, all these lovely colours and things!’
‘Ooh, the food is gorgeous - look at my belly!’
‘Everyone here is lovely, I could not ask for more.’
As a family we certainly could not ask for more for our precious Nan, (102 next month) who’s happy and content in her forever home.
Just one request ‘Lincroft please don’t change anything - it’s all perfect and Thank you’.

It is so wonderful that places like Lincroft Meadow Care Home exist. My mother has been a resident since April and we have all been beyond impressed by the incredible staff. Everyone goes out of their way to meet any and all needs with warmth and respect and the home feels like just that - a real home.
I am warmly welcomed whenever I visit and my mother feels like she is on an extended holiday. She is so happy and already looks fitter and younger. She is enjoying all the activities and socialising with other residents and the food is of an extremely high standard. Above all the staff are caring, friendly, warm and respectful.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Lincroft Meadow 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 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.932 for Lincroft Meadow Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (519 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 555 Ratings = 4.932

  • 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 Lincroft Meadow Care Home is based on 47 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 47 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.

Hello, my name is Rebecca Goodgame, and I am the Activities and Wellbeing Coordinator here at Lincroft Meadow.


Before joining the team at Lincroft Meadow I was a pastry chef for one of the Oxford Universities. After a while, I started my own cake business, which I ran from my home for two years.


My grandma lived in a care home, and I always admired the activities department and everything they organised to enrich the lives of their residents. Because of this, I decided when I saw this role advertised that it was time for me to give back to the community, so I applied!
