Meadowlands  

In a peaceful area of Aberdare in South Wales, Meadowlands is a purpose-built 52 bed care home, providing specialist memory care for older people living with dementia who have nursing, complex or challenging needs.

Through close links and partnership working with Rhondda Cynon Taff Health Board, Meadowlands adopted the ‘Butterfly’ person-centred model of care 3 years ago, this approach means that the ethos at Meadowlands is to provide a homely and therapeutic living environment where Residents and Colleagues live in harmony.

Meadowlands feels different to a traditional care home setting. As part of the Butterfly care model our Residents home aims to offer an environment akin to a family home; deinstitutionalising the care home environment plays a vital role in helping Residents to feel at ease, relaxed and natural in their surroundings, this helps create a calm atmosphere and reduces the level of challenging incidents.

Meadowlands is a welcoming home offering Residents a choice of five sitting rooms and two dining areas, with garden views, where in which to relax, dine and socialise with friends, family and staff. There is also a hairdressing salon on site. The large, landscaped garden with patio, which is tended by some of our Residents provides the perfect spot for an afternoon amongst friends and family. All bright and comfortable bedrooms and living areas are easily accessible by wheelchair.

Life at Meadowlands is about going with the flow; not restricting people to firm plans which might seem completely disagreeable as a day or week unfolds. Residents at Meadowlands largely dictate the way they spend their day based on how they feel, what they want and what matters to them in the moment; life is made up of moments after all!

Lifestyle

Meadowlands

The approach to personalised care and support provided by Meadowlands achieves fantastic outcomes for Residents, many of whom would find it difficult to live within a more traditional institutionalised care setting as the relationship centred approach to care delivery reduces much of the anxiety often experienced.

The deinstitutionalisation of our service extends to our specialist nursing, care and support teams, all of whom are recruited and appraised on their values, attitudes and emotional intelligence, ensuring they are equipped to promote positive relationships with Residents not only providing but receiving care and support as we all do when we live as an integral part of an extended family. Our approach sees Residents nurtured and empowered to actively contribute to running their home so they feel valued members of their community.

There is no differentiation between staff and Resident living areas, an important part of care and support provided is ensuring that Residents and Colleagues can eat together, have a chat over a cup of tea, watch a film, play a game, do a jigsaw, go for a gentle stroll around the house or outside, hang out the washing, hose off the patio, water the plants, essentially the philosophy is centred breaking down boundaries and promoting inclusion and purpose.

None of the staff at Meadowlands wear a uniform or name badge and this diminishes the hierarchical sense of the more traditional setting; this removes boundaries so that
Residents and Colleagues run the house in harmony as one.

We spend as much time as possible outside; not only for the obvious benefits of fresh air and to appreciate the changing seasons and weather; but more importantly contributing to maintaining the outside area by helping with the gardening, bringing the washing in or whatever needs to be done that day.

Food and Nutrition
Our hospitality team prides itself on making mealtimes a special, stimulating part of each day. Residents are served three meals a day, as well as a mid-morning snack and afternoon tea. We use fresh ingredients, locally sourced wherever possible, with the emphasis on providing delicious seasonal meals. We understand the nutritional needs of older people and create meals that offer the correct calorific and nutritional content. We consider meals to be a fundamental part of each Resident’s care plan.

Eating is a social and an emotional experience, and our dining rooms are designed to create a relaxed, homely and happy atmosphere, with menus that offer plenty of variety.
