What our families say on carehome.co.uk

"My brother was transferred here from the hospice, and initially, I was worried. However, there was absolutely no need to be as he received pain medication on time and was never in pain. He was very comfortable and safe under the auspices of the unit manager and all the staff. I do mean all staff, from the manager to the cleaners, all were excellent. There is a nice atmosphere, and it's very welcoming with lovely rooms and food. All staff are very friendly and seem to genuinely care for their residents. Thank you all so much for what you did for my brother to make his last few weeks enjoyable, safe, comfortable, with dignity and pain-free."

"I recently wrote a review regarding my mother-in-law giving an overall 5 stars. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law passed away on the 12th of March at 8:45. The care through the night leading to her passing the next day was dealt with, with such care and respect both for my mother-in-law and for the family members who stayed with her to the end. The nurse who was in charge of the night shift, whom we had never met, gave the family so much support which lasted all through the night to the last minutes of her shift, the quality of care she gave my mother-in-law, respect, and dignity was amazing. When the day shift came on, the same quality of care for the family and my mother-in-law carried on. My mother-in-law's passing was so peaceful, we are so grateful for the quality of care not only my mother-in-law received but also the family got from the staff on memory lane."

"Our experience has been a very good one overall. The carers activity coordinator the food has all been to a high standard. We find the staff very caring and professional. I think having a bigger toilet area with shower facilities in their room would be an advantage for family members to be able to assist with personal care for their loved ones. The entertainment is excellent all in all a very nice comfortable place."

"I cannot praise Meadowbeck enough. All the staff I have met are all friendly. My mother-in-law is on the memory lane ward. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much for them, very caring and supportive with the residents and also with family members, taking time to listen to and resolve any concerns you may have. The activities for all the residents are amazing, taking time to find out what sort of activities the residents prefer and they really do try to accommodate each and every one. Families are welcome and encouraged anytime to support their family member in the activities. The carers are marvellous and cannot express how much my mother-in-law and her family have been made welcome. I think I can speak for all my mother-in-law's family that all the staff deserve the 5 stars."

"My mother has been at Barchester The Meadowbeck Care Home for almost four years, when she was admitted during Covid-19 and was end-of-life. Visiting today, my mother said for the first time in years that she feels very well! The care and attention are excellent, a family and homely atmosphere. The activities manager is brilliant and the range and extent of things residents can enjoy are excellent. She never stops thinking of creative, fun and enjoyable activities in the daytime and evening too! An example of best practice for other homes to copy. Thank you to everyone."

"I cannot praise the staff at Barchester The Meadowbeck Care Home highly enough for the care they gave Mum. She only had a short time there, from December to the end of January, but she felt happy and safe. Although Mum was ill, she rallied enough to really enjoy many of the activities which were organised several times a day with something for everyone on offer. The staff were super kind and friendly and we felt welcomed into 'Mum's home' each time we visited. A big thank you to all the staff for doing such a great job at Meadowbeck!"

"My wife has been a resident now for just over a year and I can honestly say she has received excellent care and has been treated with dignity and respect by everyone. Having visited every day I have got to see a lot of what goes on in the home. The atmosphere is very friendly, the entertainment laid on is very varied and the food is mostly of a good standard. I would like to thank all the staff for making it such a friendly and welcoming place to visit."

"Since my mother moved into Meadowbeck (she has now been there 2.5 years) she has come on leaps and bounds. What a brilliant home she is in! The staff are fantastic and cannot do enough for the residents. They always have a smile on their faces, the food served is excellent and the entertainment is above and beyond. What can I say? When I am older I am moving in! Thank you Meadowbeck for all you do for my mum."

"I am a regular visitor at Barchester The Meadowbeck Care Home as I am a volunteer for therapy dogs and we visit the residents and staff fortnightly. Each time Ted and I visit, we receive such a warm welcome from the activities coordinator and the rest of the staff team. The residents love saying hello to Ted and give him lots of cuddles and fusses. In return, Ted brings comfort and lots of smiles to the residents. Therapy dogs are great for social and emotional interactions and give great opportunities for residents and staff to open up, chat and reminisce about old times. I would definitely recommend Meadowbeck, it’s a lovely place."

"Meadowbeck feels like a family. Every member of staff from carers to maintenance and kitchen staff knows and treats the residents with respect and compassion. Residents are looked after not only in terms of their physical needs but also their whole well-being. There are varied and well-planned activities daily and family and friends are made to feel welcome to join in. Residents are sometimes taken out for trips to coffee mornings or garden centres and even linked with the local toddler group. Any issues or concerns have been dealt with quickly and professionally, giving me confidence that Mum is receiving the right care. I have no hesitation in recommending Meadowbeck and I am happy to call it Mum's home."

"My mother was a resident at Meadowbeck from October 2022 until she passed away on May 27th 2023, during her relatively short stay she was treated with the utmost care, dignity and respect by every single member of staff we had the pleasure and honour of getting to know. When she went upstairs onto the Memory Lane, dementia wing, her care was absolutely exemplary and she forged some lovely relationships with the dedicated carers who went above and beyond what we expected and we are forever in their debt. I have no hesitation in recommending Meadowbeck to anyone looking to help loved ones requiring respite or residential care, the whole experience, certainly in my mum's case was “world class”. Thank you Meadowbeck."

"The staff are friendly, considerate and caring. Residents' birthdays are celebrated with a lovely cake. The events are very good, The Coronation was celebrated really well and the resident's families were invited. It was well organised and lovely food and drink laid on."

"My aunt is a resident at the care home. She is well looked after and enjoys the activities especially singalongs and party celebrations. She loves trips out and meeting other people. The staff always find time for a little chat with her."

"My mother was a resident at The Meadowbeck Care Home for over 2 years till she passed away in August 2022. At the time she appeared to be treated with kindness and dignity. Her family were always welcome and greeted enthusiastically even during the pandemic. Our views were listened to sympathetically and my mother's end-of-life wishes were fully respected and endorsed. They handled her move from another Barchester home and a member of staff accompanied her to her grandson's wedding which gave her great joy. I can only thank the staff for all they did and the peace of mind they gave me in my mother's final years. I am writing this review as care decisions are very difficult to take and I felt the manager and the team had my mother's best interests at heart."

"Having had reservations with regard to my mother going into care, those fears were immediately allayed from our first exploratory visit when the staff went out of their way to show us all the facilities that are available here at Meadowbeck. Every member of staff, since Mum's arrival, has gone out of their way to reassure my mum at what has been a potentially traumatic time; she's now settled in and is enjoying her stay and has built a good rapport with everyone."

"We couldn't be happier with the care provided to Mum at Meadowbeck. The staff are outstanding. Mum has settled well and has a comfortable room, which is clean. The activities at Meadowbeck are brilliant and as a family, we love joining in. Nothing is too much trouble. It was difficult making the decision that mum needed nursing care, but it has been made so much easier by all at Meadowbeck."

"Mum has been very well looked after by all the staff at Meadowbeck. The activities lady is very loved by mum, she never fails to make Mum smile. She was amazing support at Mum's 90th Birthday party we had in the restaurant on 3/7/22. We are a very large family and there is always time to listen if we have worries. If I ever need this care I would happily go to Meadowbeck Thank you all."

"My mum is looked after by wonderful caring affectionate considerate people. When she was in hospital after breaking her hip she passed comments that she was so pleased to be back home as it was very unhomely where she had been. One of the staff members knows how much she enjoys a KFC so when they have some for their tea takes mum a piece, where else would you find this kindness. They are amazing people I can never thank them enough for how they care for my mum."

"I cannot praise the staff highly enough for the care of my mother. She moved to them last July when her previous care home closed down. They are very friendly and keep in touch with us on information about Mothers care. They are always prepared to go the extra mile to make her stay enjoyable. My son got married last year last September and they organised the transport for her and a carer to come with her to the wedding which made it an extra special day. I would not hesitate to recommend Meadowbeck Care Home to anyone who is looking to place a family member in a home."

"Absolutely brilliant care home. Staff always lovely and cannot do enough for the resident and visitors. The home itself is very clean. There is always things going on for the residents, the food that is served to the residents look delicious. Cannot praise Meadowbeck enough. I was worried when mum went to stay there as she has always been independent but I definitely need not worry at all. Thank you Meadowbeck for taking care of my mum."

"I cannot commend this care home enough for the amount of effort and care they put into looking after our family member. Especially the great emphasis given on encouraging the many varied activities throughout the day. As a great deal of the work takes place in the background every chance to congratulate the tremendous work they do must be given. I can highly recommend this home as a safe and caring place where the residents can feel at ease comfortable and most importantly at home. Well done all of you"

"My mum is being cared for with compassion, care and affection. In March she had a fall and broke her hip, sadly she does not remember to call for assistance when she wants to stand up. When you see her generally she is so much more relaxed and the care team have her involved in activities. The whole team are so patient, caring and she is so happy. I cannot explain in such few words how fantastic she is looked after. The team are amazing."

"In June 2018 I decided that Meadowbeck was the most suitable for my wife who had dementia and I could no longer manage to look after her adequately by myself at home. She was duly admitted and initially, I was not sure that she would settle in. I was reassured by the support that we received from the staff down Memory Lane. The home is only 15 minutes by bike from my house (and that of my son) in Heworth. I tried to visit most days. My wife settled down well and became accustomed to the routine. She initially ate in her room, but later joined residents in the dining room. During warmer days we went out into the garden for a ride around the garden or to sit and have a coffee. She was happy to see us on these visits.  She developed a very good relationship with several key staff and they loved her like one of their own. The management of the dementia wing was exceptional and carried out with great empathy."

"Choosing a care home is no easy task, especially in recent times. We had looked round many previously. That’s why when the time came we had a good idea of what we were looking for. Decisions can be emotional and extremely tough. Meadowbeck had that warm friendly approach from staff, feeling like home. Mum had done really well in her own home with live-in care. After a brave battle, her health deteriorated and she needed nursing care. The whole team at Meadowbeck went above and beyond during extremely difficult times for everyone, to make sure she was well cared for. We can’t thank them all enough and praise the hard work they do daily."

"The service in the home is absolutely perfect. We couldn't have had more care and attention if we had tried to care for mum ourselves. Not only do the staff try so hard to meet the resident's needs, but they also invest a great deal of time in the family. My mum was at peace when she settled in with people who genuinely knew how to deal with dementia. Not many people truly do if they are honest."

"After a rocky start, due to the old manager, a rude and abrupt lady, I am so pleased with her replacement. You finally have the right person in charge. She is thoughtful, attentive, and goes out of her way to listen and do all she can in all related problems as and when they occur. Another mention to the sister and amazing carers. Thank you. You have all coped so well with the difficult times of late."

"My mum was unfortunately only a short while at Meadowbeck but during what was extremely difficult circumstances due to the Coronavirus situation she was fantastically well cared for. When she died the staff were extremely professional in their handling of the situation and could not have been more caring and respectful. Our only regret was that she didn’t have more time there as we know she would have been very well looked after. A loving, caring environment with wonderful staff. Thank you for all you did for my mum and our family."

"My mother moved into Memory Lane in June 2019 when it became too challenging for her to continue to live with my father. Meadowbank is located conveniently close for visits from my father, my family and other relatives. There are several communal areas and a large garden, which were important considerations for us, and provides plenty of opportunities to move about. In the beginning, my mother took quite a long time to settle in and due to pre-existing difficulties with eating seemed to be declining. However, it was clear from the start that all of the staff at Meadowbeck would do everything that they could to get Mum settled in, find a routine, review medication, check on her regularly and find a solution to her eating. Mum's weight seems to have stabilised; she moves about quite a lot and is happy and settled. Since the Covid-19 lockdown we have not been able to visit, but the staff have been absolutely fantastic and are always happy to let us know how Mum is doing. Thank you."

"My mother had been admitted only four weeks earlier and it was quickly established that she would need nursing and end of life care. During this time she was treated exceptionally well in all areas. I cannot praise the wonderful staff here highly enough for keeping Mum clean and comfortable. Sadly she died peacefully in her sleep, yet in quiet and comfortable surroundings. Thank you Meadowbeck, you are all lovely people."

"My Mum moved into Meadowbeck in October 2019 after a stay in hospital caused by her dementia. She was underweight, not eating, wandering miles each day, and continuously agitated. Quite frankly I didn't think she would be with us for very long, but the care provided for her at Meadowbeck has turned things around completely. She is now absolutely thriving. Her weight has increased, she is content, and best of all she is happy. The entire team are all fantastic and nothing is too much trouble. There are particular individuals on both the nursing and management teams who have been instrumental in making my Mums life so much better - which in turn has made life easier for all of her family. The rooms are lovely, and families are encouraged to make them "personal" with photos etc. So to summarise, my mum is now genuinely being "cared for"."

"I was very anxious when we made our decision to move mum into care but she has flourished since being at Meadowbeck. She's up on Memory Lane where the carers are wonderful with her and she obviously feels very relaxed with them too. Mum's the happiest I've seen her in a very long while, she's eating all her meals, whereas before she moved in she merely played with her food. I can't wish for more for her. It's perfect for a dementia patient."

"Meadowbank was recommended to me by a carer who visited my friend. I was shown around the home in October and felt the atmosphere and calm environment would be very suitable for my friend. He was subsequently sent from the hospital to Meadowbank and has settled in really well. We particularly like the small lounge areas and the quiet buzzers and lack of 'chatter'."

"My Mum went into Meadowbeck in a poorly condition, for end of life care. She blossomed under their care and was happier than she had been for many months. The carers/staff were absolutely wonderful. I had been trying to care for Mum at home and her being looked after so wonderfully in Meadowbeck transformed both our lives. We had two wonderful months with Mum before she died and we were able to be with her when she died. The staff are truly lovely caring people. Thank you."

"My husband stayed at Meadowbeck for four days, as I went to Leicester to attend my daughter's wedding. He suffers from Parkinsons and Dementia. He was invited previously for a one day, taster day, which he enjoyed and also prepared him for his stay. I have found all the staff extremely friendly and obliging and very efficient in their work. David was well cared for during his stay, had his tablets at the times I had asked, and all in all, he had a very satisfactory stay. I will definitely hope that he will be able to stay again in 2019 if the need arises. Thank you."

"I last did a review in September '17, although my brother has been in since November 2015. I still say that the staff are exceptional and the ones I come in contact with go above and beyond the call of duty but I will say that the home is very understaffed. Some rooms have undergone a 'Wow' Factor as well as the communal areas, this has been a great improvement. There have also been little extras taking place since a new manager has been appointed, just to name a few - A birthday list of residents, take away nights and afternoon teas and hopefully, little extras for the residents will continue."

"Dad was admitted with dementia and nursing care. Downstairs modernised and beautiful, upstairs facilities good but not equal to downstairs. Established staff excellent, new staff did not particularly understand dementia so maybe more training before going on the unit, albeit all personalities lovely and caring and accommodating. More one to one care was sometimes needed, eg. more staff. Overall I would recommend this home. Felt happy leaving my father here as he was not safe at home. Many thanks, and your care was very much appreciated."

"It is a daunting task to find a care home for your relative. All I can say is take a visit to this home and see for yourself how caring and devoted the staff are to the residents. This home has recently just had a refurbishment giving it a real modern look, but it it still has a lovely, warm, friendly feeling about it, with staff who cannot do enough to fulfil the needs of the residents and very supportive to relatives. Regarding activities, there is always plenty going on to keep the residents occupied."

"My mum is in the dementia unit, there seems to be new staff/agency staff which I don't think is particularly helpful to dementia sufferers as they like familiarity. On a few occasions recently, mum hasn't had any drinks on her table which is a worry. I quite often have to go and fill her jug up. There is also not much social space in the dementia unit. Overall, the home is really nice and I know mum is better looked after in The Meadowbeck than at home, but I do think some staff could try harder."

Lorraine L

"The home is very clean and well presented and all areas downstairs are clean and tidy. Staff appear to be very willing to help on occasions where there have been small issues with washing and care. As my uncle is 95 and not very technical, so staff are very willing and supportive with turning on the TV for sport channels. Activities appear to be good and uncle went out to a garden centre and appeared to enjoy his afternoon trip."

"It was nice to be part of the gardening group and mix with the other residents and staff seeing how they mixed in together and shared help - it was very interesting. The staff were really great with the residents, so patient and caring. I've been present on other occasions and there's always plenty going on. I don't know where they get all their ideas from (everyone welcomed the tea/coffee break after the potting up had finished). My relative is upstairs on the dementia wing and the staff team are great, always so friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble for them. I find all the staff at the home wonderful eg clerical staff. All the staff team are stars ****."

"I can't believe how smooth the process of getting our family member into The Meadowbeck was and getting him settled. The staff have all been brilliant, so easy to approach about anything whatever time of day it is. I attended a group which was attended by my family friend and several other residents. I joined in and enjoyed it, it was nice to see how others joined in also. The staff really shone on ideas and experience within the group offering help when needed. I have since been involved and seen it all again. Keep up the good work Meadowbeck. What a nice friendly place to live, I viewed several places, and was so pleased when we were offered The Meadowbeck."

"The Meadowbeck Care Home in York, is in my opinion, the best there is. My father-in-law has been a permanent resident there since July this year, the very thought of him going into a care home filled me with dread that was until I visited Meadowbeck, the staff were absolutely lovely and friendly. The home is modern and extremely clean. The residents are very well looked after and cared for, I get regular updates regarding my father-in-laws well being. Apart from this he excitedly tells me when I visit all about the different activities he's taken part in which is really nice for him for example: quizzes, bingo, gardening club, arts and crafts, tv/dvd watching, coffee mornings, tombolas, days out, music club, the list is endless. So a big thank you to all the hardworking staff at Meadowbeck for everything you do and for certainly giving my father-in-law a better quality of life and making him so happy!!!"

"Meadowbeck has some lovely, friendly and helpful staff. It is clean and bright. My brother arrived in November 2015 so I am hoping that he will get to go out more on trips in the summer months. All in all a good nursing home."

"Meadowbeck is a first class nursing home. Excellent staff/food/carers/nurses. Nothing is too much trouble and I have been impressed by the organisation of my Mum's care. Meadowbeck is the best home I have seen and know that everything is being done for Mum's wellbeing/comfort/quality of life. No reservations in recommending Meadowbeck."
