Thurlaston Meadows Care Home, the family-run residential care home based in Thurlaston, Warwickshire, has been awarded the Diamond Distinction Award 2025 for Care Home of the Year.
Set within 7.5 acres of beautifully maintained landscaped gardens in the peaceful Warwickshire countryside, Thurlaston Meadows provides residential care for up to 45 older people, including those living with dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments. Regulated by the Care Quality Commission with an 'Overall: Good' rating awarded in May 2025, this recognition acknowledges the home's commitment to delivering outstanding care in an environment that feels like home, not an institution.
A Family-Run Home Built on Warmth and Continuity
As a family-run care home, Thurlaston Meadows combines professional standards with genuine personal connection. The manageable scale of 45 residents ensures every individual receives personalised attention, continuity of care, and meaningful relationships with staff. CQC inspection reports noted that relatives were very positive about care quality, with staff consistently demonstrating deep knowledge of residents' needs and preferences.
Staff culture reflects this family ethos—with an employee rating of 4.3 out of 5, team members describe feeling "part of one big family." This culture of support and belonging translates directly into the warmth and stability residents experience daily.
Life Enrichment and Community Connection
Thurlaston Meadows doesn't just provide care—it fosters meaningful engagement and purpose. The dedicated Activities Team delivers a varied programme including music, outings, games, film nights, themed restaurant nights, and garden activities. Residents maintain independence through family outings, whilst the home's pet-friendly policy (including dogs) and couple suites ensure personal preferences are honoured.
Community integration extends beyond the home's walls, with events such as classic car shows and dog show fundraisers that welcome families and the local community, promoting social inclusion and positive visibility.
Why They Won
Thurlaston Meadows earned recognition through its combination of beautiful countryside setting, family-run culture, CQC 'Good' rating across all inspection areas, personalised activity programmes, and genuine community engagement. The home's commitment to dignity, choice, and quality of life—supported by seasonal locally-sourced cuisine prepared by a qualified Head Chef—demonstrates that outstanding residential care means nurturing wellbeing, not just meeting needs.
