The Meadow care home in Muswell Hill
Tucked away in a quiet corner of North London, The Meadow feels like a countryside retreat in the city. It’s a place where life moves at just the right pace - peaceful when you want it, lively when you need it. Step onto the first-floor balcony, and you’ll overlook beautifully landscaped gardens. But just beyond the gates, Muswell Hill’s buzzing high street, Alexandra Palace, and Highgate Wood are all within easy reach.
Built in the 1960s, The Meadow care home offers 40 spacious bedrooms, welcoming communal spaces, and dedicated 24-hour, person-centred residential and dementia care. It’s a place filled with warmth, companionship, and a real sense of home. Surrounded by The Paddock retirement apartments, MHA Communities North London, a tennis club, and a friendly Methodist Church, this care home in Muswell Hill is part of a thriving local community.
Dining that delights
Mealtimes aren’t just about what’s on the plate - they’re about the people around the table, the stories shared, and the little moments that make a house feel like home. Menus at this Muswell Hill care home are packed with residents’ favourites, from a comforting shepherd’s pie to a chicken tikka masala, with a Mauritian fish curry adding a bit of flair. And we can't ignore the sweet treats - each day, the scent of freshly baked cakes drifts through the home.
Birthdays call for personalised treats like Chef’s yummy Black Forest gateaux, while themed dining events bring the tastes of Diwali, Christmas, and other festivities to life. And of course, there’s always a cuppa on hand, often enjoyed with a biscuit (or two). Because here, dining is about more than food - it’s about laughter, community, and the joy of sharing.
When you think of a care home, what springs to mind?
Life at The Meadow care home is anything but ordinary. Whether it’s a hands-on baking activity, a lively arts and crafts afternoon, or a pamper session in our beauty salon, there’s always something happening. Our intergenerational events with local schools are a real highlight. From flipping pancakes on Pancake Day to making Christmas cards together, these moments spark laughter, stories, and friendships.
For those with a sense of adventure, our Seize the Day initiative ensures residents can explore beyond our gates. Whether it’s a trip to the British Museum, a visit to the local tennis club, or rediscovering an old haunt, we believe in making memories at every stage of life. And no week would be complete without a visit from our pet therapy dog, Charli, because nothing lifts the spirits quite like a wagging tail and a friendly face.
