I was very impressed with the atmosphere at Uvedale Hall. The staff were very friendly and my aunt is very happy there. The rooms were very clean and were an inviting place to enjoy.
My aunt really likes all the staff and appreciates the care she is given. She enjoys being able to attend the garden
and feed the birds from her room.

Mum has been at Uvedale Hall now for 18 months, and we couldn't be happier. The accommodation is lovely and homely, and the program of activities is first class, but what really makes it special is the fantastic team of people that work there. Everyone is so helpful, dedicated and upbeat. In what can
be difficult times for families, they really take a weight off your shoulders.

this review for Dad.

From start to finish as a family we were impressed with the care of our mum. Sadly mum had to go into hospital and unable to return due to her needs. But would and have recommended Uvedale Hall to anyone looking for a care home for a loved family member. From the management to carers & other staff most
helpful caring and an understanding ear to talk to and listen to your concerns. Only wish she was able to return.

Thus, allowing for the very best of support in care for Mum, a deeper understanding for staff as to how small improvements make a big difference. Adjustments have been
efficiently recorded for staff to access and follow through. Regular contact and discussions to continue, enabling relevant care.

I attended mums care plan review today. I found the process very helpful and the care manager explained everything in great detail and was also to answer any queries I had. Whenever I visit Mum she is always well dressed. clean & tidy and I know she is well looked after by the team at Uvedale Hall.
I always ask her how she is - does she have any feedback and her reply is I have no grumbles! What is there to grumble about this home is amazing everything you want is provided.

Overall I have found Uvedale Hall good in lots of places, excellent in others. My friend was in Uvedale for 16 months and she always praised the food and the staff. I did find items in her drawers that were not hers. The staff seemed to try to make life as pleasant as possible.The activities seemed
to be at a high level and varied. With encouragement to join in. There is also an attempt to get the community to join in.

Dad is very well looked after, the staff are so friendly and kind, they are like family to him. He was recently very ill, some of the staff returned in the evening as they were worried about him - some after a 12 hour shift, we are so impressed and grateful. Dad also very much enjoys the entertainment
in the afternoon which is quite exceptional including live music, quizzes, crafts, games and his favourite bingo. How they think of things which the guests can do is amazing, we never new dad was so good at painting. Also he really enjoys the food, must mention that. Many thanks to all staff at Uvedale.

Thank you for your kind words, it's a pleasure having dad live with us.

My friend is always happy with her care, the carers are always friendly and helpful on my weekly visits.
I think the fact that my friend arranges all her visits for the mornings because she doesn't want to miss the activities speaks volumes, they are organised by a staff member full of enthusiasm,
who engages the residents brilliantly.

Mum moved permanently into Uvedale in November 2020, after a few weeks respite care. We cannot praise Uvedale highly enough, there is a wonderful family atmosphere, very caring, and lots of fun. The Manager and her team go out of their way to make residents and visitors welcome. There are delicious
homemade meals, wonderful birthday cakes, teatime treats. Standards of cleanliness are excellent, the building and grounds are beautiful, lovingly maintained and so relaxing, it really is a home from home. They really get to know the residents and Mum settled in very quickly. You can visit whenever you want to. There are activities in the afternoons, craft, gentle exercise, games. Families are invited to parties which are great fun. I must also mention the standard of detail on administering medication is outstanding. If mum is struggling with one of her medications, they speak to the GP and find solutions. We feel so lucky to have found Uvedale. Thank you all very much.

My grandma moved into Uvedale earlier this year, and I cannot fault anything. As soon as you step into the home, it’s such a warm, welcoming place, and the team are always so lovely and friendly, which made Grandma feel at ease and settle in very quickly when moving here. We recently came along to the
Uvedale Christmas party, and it was so heartwarming to see all the residents take part and smile away with the team, family and friends, taking part in the raffle, singling along to Christmas songs, an amazing buffet by the lovely chef and the local pop chorus choir. I cannot recommend Uvedale Hall highly enough, as how my grandma and other residents are so truly loved and cared for by every single person in the team.

I attended the Christmas Party on 15th December 23 for residents and family. We were greeted by some lovely singing, and everyone was joining in. The buffet was amazing, with beautiful home-cooked food. The manager brought her choir, and they sang carols, which went down wonderfully. All the carers
were so helpful, even the ones off duty were still helping everyone. Can't thank them enough for all they do for the residents to make them feel at home.

Visiting for activity put on at the care home. On each visit, I have been really impressed with the cleanliness of the home. Having worked at a previous nursing home, I know that it is so difficult to maintain standards at all times- including smells. Can I commend Uvedale on this, it demonstrates that
personal care is completed in a timely and correctly disposed of items.
The activities put on really do engage the residents and visitors alike and it is really heartening to see this happening. The staff interact so well with residents and their families alike and it is such a homely home where true commitment to caring is evident.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Uvedale Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.847 for Uvedale Hall is calculated as follows: ( (256 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 295 Ratings = 4.847

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Uvedale Hall is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
