About Brendoncare Meadway
Brendoncare Meadway is a residential care home in Winchester supporting older people. We offer permanent places and respite stays. We aim to run the home the way a household runs. People get up when they are ready rather than when a rota would prefer. They keep their own belongings, their own habits and their own opinions about the television. Meals are something to look forward to and to have a view about. Where somebody can do a thing for themselves, we support rather than replace, even when doing it for them would be quicker. The weeks after a move matter more than anything else, so that is where we put our attention. We want to know what somebody did for a living, who is important to them, what they like to eat, when they prefer to wake and what makes a bad day turn into a good one. None of that arrives on a form. Respite stays are part of what we do. A family carer who has gone a long time without a break needs a real one, and a planned short stay lets that happen with proper support in place. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit on an ordinary day.
