Reviews for Meadow Park Care Home

Since our grandad went to live at Meadow Park, he has returned to his old self. Julie and her staff look after him so well, ensuring that every aspect of his needs are met. He is so happy there and is always telling us how good the staff are. Nothing is ever a problem, regardless of what it is. The food always looks and smells delicious. I cannot praise Julie and her team highly enough for the care they provide.

"This has been a very challenging time especially for my mam but things have been made so much easier to deal with due to the support and care provided by Meadow Park. From day one my mam was made to feel welcome, supported, and part of the community. First impressions of the home is that it presents a homely environment, the staff are friendly on hand to answer questions and supportive to residents and family. Management have an open door policy and available to speak to if required six weeks on and I am happy and relieved to see that my mam is receiving the care and support she needs. I would happily recommend Meadow Park for respite or full time care."

"Staff very friendly food good always very helpful when needing something done would recommend to other families looking for a care homes for a family member."

"Staff are all lovely, nothing a bother to them, very helpful 100%. Meals well presented, excellent choice and all fresh. Dignity at all times. Home well kept, and cleanliness at all times. Spacious home to walk round, plenty activities. Day rooms airy & bright to sit in and watch the world go by out of windows if you need a bit of quiet time. Gardens well kept and lovely to sit in and sometimes help out."

"I can't thank the staff enough for their quick action following a sudden decline in my dads health. They stayed with my dad until emergency services arrived and keep me updated at all times. After a short stay in hospital my dad returned to the home that he now calls his home. I have no hesitation to recommend this home. The staff at the home are amazing and its piece of mind that my dad it getting well looked after."

Julie and all the staff have went above and beyond with the care and safeguarding of my parents at meadow Park care home. Julie the manager needs too be cloned, because all care homes need a manager like Julie. She treats her job like a vocation.

"Staff are excellent, caring & thoughtful, even though turnover appears high a very high standard is maintained. A suggestion is to try to keep same staff when possible on the dementia 1st Floor to maintain the resident carer relationship and if possible always female staff. Special mentions to 4 staff members in particular for their initiative and caring roles."

"When a certain member of staff (which I won't name on here) speaks to a nearly 97 yr old with such a foul attitude is absolutely disgusting. This was infront of my mother who was visiting so I dread to think how she speaks to residents when visitors are not there. Telling my elderly grandmother who has dementia can not retain information that it's disgusting the amount of dirty laundry she's making. Also that it's ridiculous the amount of incontinence pads she was using. This was all said in an abrupt manner, she was spoken to after my mam reported it but my concern is how many residents does she do this to that can't speak up? I will take this higher if I ever hear or see anything again. Other than this one member of staff I can't complain about the rest as they are all fantastic just a shame one bad apple."

"Very good care for my wife over the past three years."

"My Grandad is thriving at Meadow Park. Moving a loved one to a care home can be stressful, but it was the best choice for his well-being. He enjoys his independence with support from caregivers as needed. He takes part in group activities that keep him active and engaged. I am grateful to the staff for making his transition smooth and for creating a warm, welcoming environment that feels like home. For anyone thinking about this care home, I highly recommend it."

I visited Meadow Park today and was welcomed warmly into the home. The home itself was clean, tidy and comfortable and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, going out of their way to help me.
The residents looked like they were enjoying an amazing full breakfast in a gorgeous dining room.

"Both parents are in Bedlington. Both are happy and well looked after. Staff are brilliant, patient, kind and supportive. No problems, great choice of meals. Always helpful and supportive. Great choice of care home which has been a tough call for them both."

"My mam has been in Meadow Park Bedlington for almost 5 years and she has always received excellent care. She was put on end-of-life at the end of January 2024. However, she is now doing well again. I attribute my mam's recovery due to the exemplary care from all the hard-working dedicated staff. Across the care home. Even if my mam only has weeks left to live, I know she is in the best hands. My family and I will be forever grateful to everyone at Meadow Park. Thank you."

"Since moving into Barchester Meadow Park Care Home, Mam has made the most unbelievable improvement. I cannot thank the staff enough. Six weeks ago, I thought we would lose her and here we are visiting Mam in the most comfortable and happy surroundings. She is vibrant, chatty and full of life again. Has made new friends and enjoys her chats with all the staff. Meadow Park has brought my mam to life again with their thoughtful, caring and experience. We have our lovely mam back, all thanks to the manager and all the staff. Thank you just isn't enough."

"All the staff have put so much effort into making this an amazing Christmas for all the residents. The full monthly timetable, the activities daily, the food, the fair, and the parties. It's all an amazing time. They have amazing meals with chats that let them talk about their past, learning details about each resident. I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for my mam, making her come out of her shell and truly feel comfortable."

"My mum received the best care I could have wished for. Caring staff, good food and very clean. She was also treated with dignity and extra loving care during her last few days."

"Pleasant two weeks of respite care after leaving the hospital."
