Absolutely fantastic care home, staff are all so kind and spend time with the residents. My dad is like a different person since moving to the meadows. The food is so good and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Highly recommend.

I can't thank the staff at The Meadows enough. My mum was in a terrible state when she first arrived, underweight and totally confused and depressed. Their care, patience and fabulous food has made such a difference. Now Mum is happy, eating well and loving the friends that she has made there and the
activities they share. They have achieved more than I thought possible. The staff that I have met there are all genuinely lovely.

From the moment he arrived from the hospital (somewhat dishevelled), the staff treated him with an outstanding level of care and compassion extended to the family. We would extend our deepest thanks to The Meadows and strongly recommend them.

My mother received the highest possible standard of care throughout her long stay in The Meadows. All her personal needs, both physically and medical were provided to maintain her wellbeing. As her needs changed with age and mental deterioration, appropriate adjustments were made to keep her comfortable.
The staff maintained continuity of relationships with her on a day to day basis. Communication between the management and myself was maintained efficiently during the difficult period of Covid. I found this very reassuring. At no time over the many years did I feel any anxiety or worry, and this is a great credit to all involved with her care.

Reply from Richard Deverson, Ops Director at The Meadows

It is a rare privilege to provide care to one individual over such a long period and to be able to continue that care as her needs increased. The team at Windmill House remember her fondly; when the time was right for her to be cared for at The Meadows, the continuity in that care continued with familiar faces and the high standards that she enjoyed so much.
From all the team who have cared for her over the years, many thanks to you and all the family for the faith and trust you put in us all; we will miss her.

Having researched care homes across South Gloucestershire for my mum, I found The Meadows, Yate. Until this point, I began to form an opinion where all this was taking me, alas my cautious mind was rewarded. I was greeted with a fresh approach, unseen before, taking me on a journey of discovery of how
a care home is supposed to be managed. The clean smell alone was delightful, I found myself walking into a place where I felt I wanted to be, a positive start. Over several visits, including one for Mum, meeting staff from all levels was one of sheer delight. We knew we had found a place where Mum would be looked after extremely well. We began daycare, over time it was very clear Mum was settling in and enjoying, without doubt, it was the best place for Mum and later offered residency. Sadly, no longer with us, Mum was given the best care home experience anyone could ever wish for. On behalf of family and friends, I would like to thank you all for an amazing job well done.

Reply from Richard Deverson, Ops Director at The Meadows

Thank you for taking the time to send in this review. We were privileged to care for your mother when she needed us and we enjoyed the positive interaction with you as a family. Everyone at The Meadows recognises the importance of close family who often become a significant part of the care 'team'. This made the last 16 months so much more challenging - though by continuing to work together and throughout communicate effectively by whatever means we could, you remained involved, even at the most difficult time. Many thanks again, Tim. With love and best wishes from all the team at The Meadows.

Very informative, especially during the Corona pandemic. The staff extremely pleasant, and Mum loves it here. Her words to me were "home from home", which says it all.

Reply from Richard Deverson, Operations Director at The Meadows

Good afternoon Susan - thank you so much for taking the time to give this feedback to The Meadows. We consider our families part of the care team, and we have all felt the absence of visitors through the last year, and we look forward to seeing you all soon.
Regular and clear communication has been key to reassure and respond as soon as we have been able to as situations have changed.
Thank you again.

The Meadows have gone above and beyond all expectations. The staff are amazing and special thanks to three ladies who have gone over and above their normal duties to make mum and dad comfortable and happy in their new surroundings. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them. We would thoroughly recommend.

Reply from Richard Deverson, Operations Director at The Meadows

Thank you, Sally - it has been a privilege to care for your parents at The Meadows. It is always a difficult decision, and the team were delighted to support both them and all the family during their stay.
Thank you for taking the time to give this feedback.

Words cannot express how grateful we are as a family for the care and love given to mum in the two years she was with The Meadows.
The relationship the staff managed to build with mum really was amazing, managing to get a little bit of our old mum back. I can only say that they are all truly extraordinary
people who go the extra mile with both the residents and families.

Many thanks for taking the time to write this review. It was a privilege to care for your mother with such support from you and the family. Thank you from us all at The Meadows.

It was the hardest thing having to put Dad into a care home and when he went in his first one I hated leaving him there. They were OK, they did their best I thought but I kept wanting him near me where I live. I was so lucky to get him in The Meadows for once I could go home and not worry about him
and the staff were great with Dad. He came up and was so much better - we would go in and he had a wash and was out of bed which he didn’t want to do much. The carers were good to Dad and us as a family. The owners of the home put so much into it to make their life better.

Everyone at The Meadows strives to deliver the best possible care - it was a privilege to care for your father and thank you for taking the time to send this review in. It is much appreciated by all the team.

Dad has lived at The Meadows residential home for over a year, I have found this residential home to be outstanding and the staff to be totally professional, kind and caring in all aspects of his care. I would recommend this residential home to everyone I speak to. (I hold them in high regard.)

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.310)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.310) out of 10 for The Meadows is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for The Meadows is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.31 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Meadows is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.185

  • 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.
