About Meadway Court

Meadway Court is a residential care home in Stockport, providing accommodation and personal care for older people. The findings below set out the CQC's most recent assessment of the service.

Meadway Court is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care for up to 42 people across two floors. This follow-up assessment found the service remained in breach of regulations relating to safe medicines management and governance, issues first identified at the previous inspection. Staffing levels were insufficient at busy times, meaning people often waited too long for support, and care plans and daily records did not always reflect people's current needs accurately.

The CQC found staff to be kind, helpful and well-intentioned, and people spoke positively about their interactions with them. However, staff lacked time for meaningful engagement, and feedback from people and relatives was not always used to drive improvement. The provider has been asked to submit an action plan setting out how these shortfalls will be addressed.

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 16 July 2026. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

The assessment took place between 27th May and 17th June 2026.
This assessment was undertaken to follow up on the enforcement action we had taken during our last visit. During our last visit we found service to be in breach of the regulations regarding the safe management of medicines and the assessment, management and mitigation of risk and regarding the systems of oversight and governance as well as breaches regarding how people were supported to receive care that was personalised and met their needs and lack of sufficient staff deployed across the service to ensure people’s needs were attended in a timely manner.
During this assessment we found that the service was still in breach regarding how people’s medicines were managed and governance.
We reviewed 22 quality statements as part of this assessment.
Meadway Court is a residential care home. The service is registered to provide accommodation for people who require personal care for up to 42 people across two floors.
Our assessment included two onsite visits, speaking with people using the service and their relatives, and talking with staff, including the registered manager.
We found concerns in several areas. Audits and quality assurance checks were not always effective as these did not pick up on issues we found during this assessment. People’s medicines were not always managed or administered safely. People did not always receive care and support in a timely manner as there were not enough staff to meet their needs. Staff did not always contact other professionals to seek guidance and support for people when their needs changed. We also found shortfalls in provider’s governance and oversight as this was not always effective.
People spoke positively about staff, describing them as helpful and kind. Staff were well-intentioned towards people they were supporting. However, we observed they did not have time to meaningfully engage and interact with people.
Due to concerns identified, we have asked the provider to submit an action plan setting out how they will address the areas requiring improvements and the timescale for doing so.
