Tucked away in a quiet corner of Bramhall, Meadway Court is a charming dementia-friendly care home. The 42-bed home is surrounded by peaceful, safe garden areas and a bright conservatory.
Meadway Court encourages relaxation for its residents. The home holds regular aromatherapy sessions and tea parties in the Mad Hatter-themed tea room. If residents fancy something more lively, they can enjoy the games room or one of the many activities arranged by the Activity and Lifestyle Facilitators (ALFs).
The staff are so friendly and approachable. The Manager has been a great support and made my mum’s arrival friendly and easy, and answered any of our questions with ease and assurance. We are very happy with Meadway Court and the staff.

Yes! There are regular meetings with the Home Manager, concerning the running of the home. Residents can (if they wish) be involved in menu planning, gardening, organising events and much more...
The home has an Activity and Lifestyle Facilitator who arranges a weekly schedule of activities, which will be posted within the home. All activities within the home are included within the fee and include gentle exercise, games, theme nights, entertainers, gardening club, etc.
The home is non-smoking. There is a designated smoking area provided outside in the garden.
We have a dedicated resident property account available, in which residents/relatives can deposit money (which is kept securely in the home’s safe) or withdraw it when they wish.
It is very easy to mislay possessions and occasionally you might break something and forget about it. Sometimes forgetfulness can lead to misunderstandings. Therefore, we must have a firm rule that we do not accept any liability or responsibility for damaged, or mislaid possessions, unless there is undisputed evidence that this was the fault of our carers.
We do not advise that you leave high value items in the home but if this is unavoidable we recommend that you arrange separate insurance cover.
Fees are payable 4-weekly in advance, according to the payment schedule issued each year by standing order.
The annual rise in fees is determined by reference to RPI and changes to the national minimum wage as per the below formula:
(65% x NMW Increase) + (35% x RPI increase). This is then rounded up to the nearest pound. We reserve the right to vary fees in the event of any exceptional circumstances.
A charge will be levied from the first night of occupancy until the room is vacated in full, giving a notice period of four weeks where appropriate.
All fees are based on a weekly rate.
There are no hidden charges. Fees cover your room and accommodation, heat and light, laundry services, access to TV and sitting rooms available to every resident, food, non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. They also cover the care and support from staff to help you with any difficulties you may have in daily living, as recorded and agreed on your plan of care (but excluding specialist care). They also cover use – according to individual needs – of the aids and appliances available in the home, such as hoists, lifts and occasional use of wheelchairs.
Fees are reviewed annually and will be effective from 1st April each year, but if your care needs change, meaning you need specialist dementia care, nursing care, or some other specialist care, it may be necessary to increase the fees in line with our tariff. Prior to any increase in fees, the home will always conduct a review and give four weeks’ notice of any increase.
Fees don’t include personal items, such as daily papers or magazines, hairdressing charges, clothing, dry cleaning and personal toiletries, meals for your visitors, or the costs of special outings and events, such as holidays or theatre trips. Fees also do not cover any health services that you decide to purchase privately, or that aren’t covered by the normal national health services, to which you are entitled, such as chiropody, dentistry, opticians.
If you need to go on a trip outside of the home (e.g. to hospital) and you are escorted by care staff, an additional hourly charge may apply, and you will have to pay for any transportation.
If you are away from the home for a period longer than six weeks e.g. in hospital, you may seek a reduction of 10% of the charges after that period.
This takes into account the need for you to retain your accommodation and the lower costs to the home of the food and services that are entailed by your absence. We will keep your room empty and secure during any temporary absence. If it appears that you would not be able, or not wish, to return to the home after such an absence, we would agree a termination by mutual consent and the normal notice period of four weeks would apply.
