Reviews for Meadow Park Care Home

"Staff very welcoming on stay, made you feel relaxed, assured, nothing was anything of a bother to them, you just had to ask, and it was all (staff) that were so accommodating. Room was kept well, clean and fresh. Food very good menu. Activities well organised. Gardens kept neat and tidy, residents can sit and enjoy the garden to relax in. Felt like a family home from home."

"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."

"My friend is quite happy here but quite lonely at times she said she feels isolated when in her room she does not like to mix or sit in the communal lounge. The staff are all very nice but always busy, she really likes the food and is complimentary about the staff"

"My mother has been here since February, and the care and attention she has received have been amazing. She is one of their oldest residents, but they are helping her to join in with everything. They always keep me informed of any issues. Totally recommend Meadow Park. An excellent team, and I would be happy to make a recommendation to anyone who asked me."

"The person I know is extremely good at their job in the care and attention that is given to the people they care for. In my opinion, it's very hard to define one person because they all do a wonderful job. Nothing is ever too much for your staff to do. It's a pity the chef is not included because she is a great cook and the food she provides is excellent."

"My mum is currently a resident at Meadow Park and she speaks very highly of the staff she has even nominated two night shift staff for how lovely they are with her. My mum is only 59 years old and making the decision for her to be in full-time care was the most heartbreaking decision to make however knowing that she is in Meadow Park make us as a family feel at ease as we know she is getting the care she needs"

"I work in a domiciliary optician and have visited Barchester Meadow Park Care Home on countless occasions as a healthcare professional. Every time you visit it feels like the residents home, that you are visiting your grandparents in their own hose, not like a care home establishment. The staff are always professional but approachable, friendly and loving to the residents in their care, although they are always busy, they always have time for you. My mam has vascular dementia and when we could no longer care for her at home, this was the only place I felt I could trust with her care. It took a while for her to settle into the home but its lovely seeing the updates on the social media pages with all the activities they have. I could never thank the staff enough for the love and kindness they've shown my mam during lockdown. Its been a tough year but I know she's well cared for here. From the bottom of our hearts as a family, many thanks to you all."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"My grandma came to Meadow Park for respite, looking at permanent stay and all the staff have made her feel so welcome. Staff are all kind caring hard workers, who all have compassion and treat all the residents with dignity and respect. My grandfather is downstairs on Memory Lane and has been there since June last year. He went from sleeping all day/night at home to getting up eating better socialising with others. Can’t thank the staff enough for all they do. Especially two staff members in particular."

"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."

"From the first day Mum came to Meadow Park, we knew this was the right place for her. All the staff were friendly, reassuring Mum would be fine and well looked after. We have seen changes over the time spent within Meadow Park with Mum and more recently a high changeover in staff which in our opinion has only enhanced the care Mum receives. There is a new enthusiasm, happiness in their work, nothing is any trouble and it is a refreshing change. Thank you, Meadow Park, on behalf of Mum and family."

"On visiting Meadow Park, I found the staff very friendly and helpful. My aunt has a lovely, well cared for room. The lounge is spacious for the residents and I'm always offered a cup of tea and my uncle has stayed for lunch a few times. I have also noticed they are given choices for meals which I think personally, is a good thing for the resident."

"On the whole, my opinion of the home is good but there are 2 things that bug me. The laundry - it smells of urine (not sure if soiled and unsoiled washed together) and the ironing terrible. I have started to take laundry away but that's not what I wanted. Activities - my mum is on memory lane but still active and feel there are not enough things going on to keep her busy. She likes to walk (I do come and take her out a few times a week but on nice days, it would be nice for her to still go outside. They could maybe allocate little jobs for her, anything to keep her busy."

"My experience of the home is that it has a friendly and caring atmosphere and that all residents are treated with dignity and respect. Individual needs are met and staff do their utmost to ensure residents are happy and settled. There are varied activities and residents are encouraged to participate. There is a good choice of meals and kitchen staff always accommodate any individual requests from residents. Laundry and cleaning services are of a high standard. I visit the home daily and have seen staff and management deal with varied situations and they always do so with compassion and professionalism. Definitely a home I would recommend."

"For more than five years my mam has resided in Meadow Park, initially for immobility, but more recently with a marked deterioration in mental capacity. Over these years the staff and home have consistently demonstrated a high level of commitment to my mam's unique personal needs. They make time to talk with her and her visitors, they make big efforts to make my mam enjoy what she can out of every day, such as putting music on and singing with her. I feel my mam has always had and continues to have the same level of respect that I get. I think this must be intentional, by the way the staff are recruited and trained. Thank you Meadow Park."

"The care home overall is very good. I have an issue with my mother-in-law's belongings going missing never to be seen again. Her overall care is very good and the staff treat her well I am concerned with the lack of stimulation I.e activities but I appreciate the difficulty as residents all have different levels of needs. Overall I would recommend this care home."

"My experience of the home is that the residents are treated with dignity and respect. My brother has been here only a short time and the staff have gone beyond their duties to settle him into his new home. He is encouraged to join in with the activities and all the staff make time for him. It is a load off the family's minds to know he is safe and looked after. I would not hesitate to recommend Meadow Park."

"From the first moment I set foot in Barchester Meadow Park, I knew it was the place for mum. The general manager did her best to find a place for her and we have never looked back. The change in her is unbelievable and that is down to the fantastic job the staff do. The general manager and all of the staff should be proud of the safe and secure home they have built."
