About Us

Meadowfield House is a residential care home in Preston for older people. We support people who need help with daily living, people living with dementia, and people with a physical disability, and we take respite bookings for families who need a short break or a period of extra support after a stay in hospital.

We aim to feel like a house rather than a unit. People keep their own belongings around them, choose how they spend the day, and are never hurried through the parts of it that take longer than they used to. Mealtimes matter here and we treat them as something to look forward to rather than something to get through. Relatives and friends are welcome throughout the day, and we would rather they came often and informally.

Dementia care asks for consistency, so our staff learn the details that make somebody feel secure: the routines, the names, the times of day that are harder and the things that help. When needs change we say so early and we talk it through with families rather than presenting them with a decision already made.

Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.

If you are looking at residential or respite care in Preston, please arrange to visit. We will show you round and answer your questions honestly, including the awkward ones.
