Meadow View in Alcester
We received this outstanding review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team 👏👏
“My father was a resident of Meadow View Care Centre from March 2019 until his passing in November 2022, at age 101.
While there, he lived a happy and contented life. The manager and staff were very caring and made his time there happy. The standard of care was above excellent and nothing was too much regarding his physical and mental well-being.
My father was one of “the family” and his dignity was upheld at all times. If their qualities are what you are looking for I would recommend Meadow View Care Centre without hesitation”

My sister is so well cared for on Albany. She is fond of the staff and they seem fond of her. She has put on weight, is always clean and tidy and nicely dressed.
The change in her since she joined Albany unit is quite amazing. We can only admire and thank the staff at Peaker Park Care Village for their care”
The Mount in Barrow upon Humber
We attended a Safeguarding Conference, where residents and staff explored and learn about the things that they can do to help each other. The course talked about subjects such as communicating the right way, listening to each other, how to build trust and giving each other control. It was a very interesting conference, and everyone feels they gained some useful skills!
