About The Meadows Care Home

The Meadows is a care home in Grimsby for older people, including those living with dementia. We provide residential care, help with the things that have become difficult, and company for people who had started to find home a lonely place. Support with washing, dressing, medication and mobility is given discreetly by staff who know how each person likes things done, and we write it down so it does not depend on who is on duty. For people living with dementia we keep the day familiar and unhurried. We ask families to tell us about the life behind the person, including the work they did and the family they talk about, and we use it in conversation and to steady things when somebody is distressed. Meals are cooked on the premises and mealtimes stay sociable and relaxed. Many of the people who live with us have spent their lives in this part of Lincolnshire, and we keep those connections going wherever we can. Relatives are part of the household as far as we are concerned, and visiting is not rationed. Short respite stays are available, often for people getting their confidence back after a spell in hospital or to give a carer at home a proper rest. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring to arrange a visit.
