About The Meadowcroft Care Home
The Meadowcroft Care Home provides residential, nursing and dementia care for older people, with care plans shaped around changing needs. Its Tooting home also offers respite stays, palliative support and a six-week flexible trial period for people considering longer-term care, giving residents and families time to experience daily life before making a longer commitment.
Short-term respite includes personalised care, meals, activities, companionship and an en-suite bedroom. Specialist dementia support uses familiar routines, calm spaces, meaningful activities and consistent staffing to help residents feel secure. As part of Greensleeves Care, the home also offers a Home for Life funding assurance for private residents whose personal funds run out, subject to its conditions.

How much does The Meadowcroft Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Meadowcroft Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wandsworth council paid on average £1,231 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
