Our Care

At Meadowside & St. Francis, care is built around the person — their needs, preferences and life story. We combine a warm, respectful environment with strong clinical support, so residents feel safe, known and well cared for from day one.

Nursing Care

24-hour clinical support delivered by experienced registered nurses. Personalised care plans, medication management and continuous monitoring provide reassurance for residents and families.

Residential Care

Support with daily living in a warm and social environment. Encouraging independence while offering help with personal care, meals and routines whenever needed.

Respite Care

Short-term stays for recovery, rest or carer support. Professional care in a welcoming setting, whether supporting rehabilitation after hospital, a planned break, or time to consider longer-term arrangements.

Nursing

Our nursing and care teams provide support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Care is guided by assessment and reviewed regularly, so support can adapt as needs change — from day-to-day wellbeing to more complex nursing requirements.

We work closely with families and relevant professionals to ensure continuity and clarity. Medication support and care planning are managed with care and consistency, with residents’ comfort, privacy and dignity always respected. Meadowside & St. Francis embrace the need for change, ensuring that the best possible care can be provided to all of our residents.

Palliative and End-of-Life Care

We are proud to hold Six Steps+ accreditation with St Luke’s Hospice, reflecting our ongoing commitment to compassionate, high-quality end-of-life care.

Wellbeing alongside care

We believe wellbeing is part of good care. Alongside clinical support and personalised care plans, we encourage day-to-day routines that support mobility, mood and confidence — from gentle movement and activities to time outdoors and social connection.
