About The Meadowcroft Care Home

The Meadowcroft Care Home in Wandsworth is a nursing home caring for older people who need qualified nursing support, including residents living with dementia, residents with a physical disability and residents with a visual or hearing impairment. Nurses are on site throughout the day and night, which means clinical needs are met here and people can stay as their health changes rather than moving again at a difficult time. We keep close attention on medication, pain relief, skin care and nutrition, and we bring in GPs and community teams early rather than waiting for problems to grow. Around that, our job is to make the day worth having. Mornings are flexible, food is cooked on the premises and adapted to individual tastes, and support with washing and dressing follows the resident's pace. For people living with dementia we keep routines familiar and take real trouble to learn a person's history, since that is usually what allows us to settle someone who is distressed. We want to be straightforward with you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather tell you ourselves and answer your questions about it, and that work is where our attention sits. We also offer respite care, including nursing support after a hospital stay.
