About
Long Meadow Care Home stands in its own gardens on the southern edge of Ripon, North Yorkshire, screened from the surrounding suburbs by mature trees. It is about a mile from the city centre and is served by a main bus route. The home provides residential and nursing care, including short-term convalescence stays, across 43 registered beds. Rooms may be single, en-suite, or shared with a companion.
Meals are cooked on the premises by an in-house chef, using local produce and fresh vegetables. Activities take place three times a week in one of the lounges or, when the weather allows, in the garden. Ministers from local churches visit regularly, and communion is held once a month. The building has a passenger lift and a chair lift. The Care Quality Commission rates the home Good overall, and it has been graded Good across all five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
