I throughly enjoyed the Christmas festivities as did my nana, we were able to make it a family event with my mum, aunt and my son also attending. The atmosphere was amazing and the care shown to the residents was evident throughout. My son loves to visit his great-nana and loves filming the choir. He
also enjoyed helping with the raffle!
Nana enjoyed the event and we talked about it again on my last visit, she was lucky enough to win some raffle prizes! Although her health has been deteriorating, being at Uvedale has enabled her to regain some of her spark again.

Mum sadly passed away after spending her final months at Uvedale. She had a great fondness for all of the staff who looked after her with such care. She had a lovely room and it always felt very homely visiting her. We stayed with her during her final days and cannot thank the staff enough for all the
support and kindness they gave to us as a family to help us through such a sad time.

My mum was a resident at Uvedale Hall Care Home for nearly a year. A formidable little lady whose behaviour could be challenging. I can’t speak highly enough about the wonderful care that she received from all of the staff. Myself and my family visited at all times of the day and evening and we were
greeted with friendly staff who could tell us all about Mum.
Unfortunately, my mum became unwell and required end-of-life care, in September. It was delivered with such care and compassion. I spent hours each day at my mum's side and on occasions when I couldn’t be there, the manager or another member of staff was with her.
The manager supported me and was at my side when Mum passed away. The whole experience of Mum’s last year in Uvedale Hall was so positive that I smile every day when I think of her and look through photos of her time there.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Uvedale Hall and its amazing staff.

Our mum moved into Uvedale Hall earlier this year following a hospital stay. Mum has many health challenges including limited sight and hearing. The care she has is second to none and she loves the food. We have been able to personalise her room and she is involved in the many activities they offer.
When mum has been poorly the staff are so caring (and put up with our constant questions) - what more can you ask for.

Reply from Suzanne York, Registered Home Manager at Uvedale Hall

Thank you for your Review - we are so pleased to read that you feel the care mum receives is "second to none", as that is what everyone here strives to achieve.

I cannot praise highly enough the staff at Uvedale Hall. Whenever I phoned night or day, whoever picked up the phone, exactly how my dad was. The staff are obviously very experienced and knew all of the warning signs for asking for medical assistance for Dad, and ultimately to warn me in plenty of time
that he was nearing the end, sadly. I was especially impressed with the emphasis praised on Uvedale Hall being dads home not the staff's or an institution.

Reply from Suzanne York, Registered Home Manager at Uvedale Hall

Thank you for taking the time to review Uvedale Hall. The team here worked very hard to ensure that your dad was cared for to the very best of their abilities and that he felt this was his home at all times. I will pass on this feedback to the team. With our very best wishes, the manager and team at Uvedale.

I visited my best friend's mom who recently moved into Uvedale Hall a month or so ago and from the moment I walked in I sensed calm. There was lots of natural light and the room was big and airy so we could all chat away quite comfortably. The house was faultless - it was immaculately clean and had
a lovely aroma. What was impressive is that there is such loyalty amongst the team with most, if not all, of them, having such long years of service, which was lovely to hear. The team were professional, dedicated social care experts and were totally focused on everyone who was staying there. The activity board showed you everything that was going on that week - from getting your hair cut to having a sing-song in the afternoon. It all looked amazing. Nothing appeared like an effort or too much trouble for the team, which is always a concern for families when their loved ones either go for respite care or to stay longer. I thought it was absolutely lovely.

Mum has only been in the care home for a few months. During that time, I have always found all of the staff friendly, patient and caring. They all get to know the person and their needs, health problems and difficulties. When I have contacted the home or visited, they always know who Mum is and where
she is - room/lounge etc. During recent times of Covid and flu, I am assured that all residents are well looked after and in safe hands.

Dad moved in last year as he was finding it increasingly difficult to cope. The care and attention that he's received from all the staff can not be faulted. He very much enjoys all his meals and tapping his feet at the music events. He has got a few health problems, and the staff have been quick and
professional in their response.
Despite having to cope with the stresses of Covid and flu outbreaks, the staff are always cheerful, and nothing is too much trouble. I would absolutely recommend Uvedale Hall to anyone.

My mother has been a resident for six months now. She entered the care home after her husband of 70 years passed away. I had no idea how she would cope physically and emotionally with the huge change in her circumstances or even how she would take to life in a residential home. It was a critical time
for her, and she could have gone either way.
I cannot praise the manager and the team of Uvedale Hall enough for their dedication, consistency of care, kindness and gentleness towards my mother. She is treated with respect and dignity and fully involved in decisions about her care which is entirely tailored to her individual needs.
Her life has expanded; she is physically fitter and is more like her old self than she has been for many years. She loves the company and is stimulated by all the conversations and new relationships she is making. She is happy again and feels she is at home.
Thank you, Uvedale Hall, for your unfailing support and care for mum and our family.

I am writing this review to say how much care and support the manager and staff have given my dad and my family when moving into Uvedale Hall. Dad was very unsettled about moving into his room after being very independent in his bungalow, but after a lot of talking and encouragement from us all, I am
pleased to say that he says he is extremely lucky to be in a nice room and everyone is so lovely and caring and he is now hopefully going to join in more activities! Thank you to all the team at Uvedale.

My mum has been a resident at Uvedale for three months. To recommend a care home to my mother would have been very distressing to her. I must say, for someone who was very worried about living in a care home, Mum has had an easy transition to Uvedale and has settled in very well. Uvedale staff have
been very respectful of Mum's needs. They are always very kind and have a very happy disposition. I am very happy to have Mum stay at Uvedale. I know she is well cared for. One of the most important aspects to me, is the ability to have conversations with staff about Mum's care. They are always available and I trust them to let me know of any concerns they may have. It really feels like a home and a family.

Reply from Suzanne York, Registered Home Manager at Uvedale Hall

Thank you for your review and comments regarding the care and support we provide for your mum. We are so pleased to hear that you feel we are a real 'home' and that our ethos of treating our residents as if they are our family members is recognised. I will endeavour to pass your lovely feedback on to everyone. With our very best wishes, the manager and team Uvedale.

My father once again has a twinkle in his eye! He has been much more sprightly since his stay at Uvedale. He enjoys the food, which he says is very good, but possibly I think he mostly enjoys the friendly banter with the staff. The staff, I have to say, I've always found to be wonderful and are quick
to enjoy a little bit of friendly banter, which I think most importantly makes for a very happy atmosphere. It would also seem to me that the staff are very ready to go above and beyond that which is needed, more so indeed during the last few weeks with all the problems that covid, flu and all other viruses that have dominated the lives of everyone within the home. I would imagine that it has been a very trying time for all concerned. I would also like to say that I really rather enjoyed the Christmas decorations, very imaginative and attractive. A very big thank you to team Uvedale. Highly recommended.

Reply from Suzanne York, Registered Home Manager at Uvedale Hall

Thank you so much for this fabulous review and surmise of Uvedale Hall. To know that the home both environmentally, socially and most important from a care perspective has resonated in this way with you, is a real delight. I will pass this review on to all the staff.

I visit my grandmother weekly at Uvedale Hall. All the staff are wonderful and greet me with happy smiles. My grandmother's health is deteriorating, but they make sure she is comfortable and always encourage her to have a chat and join in with the activities. She is treated with so much kindness and
respect, and I feel very humbled that they care so much. I am so very happy that I found such an amazing place for my grandma to live out her later years.

Our uncle was trying to manage on his own but after Covid, he became depressed and lonely. Moving him to Uvedale Hall has given him a new lease of life. The staff and management are wonderful, working hard to create a family atmosphere. The care and food are excellent. The gardens are peaceful and well
kept. The bedrooms and community spaces are very well maintained. Highly recommend Uvedale Hall.

I am consistently impressed by the care, consideration and good humour with which my mother is treated by the care staff at Uvedale. I always feel that she is treated as an individual and she has told me how much she enjoys the little personal interactions that she has with them. The management staff
are equally kind and thoughtful towards my mother's visitors. The pandemic has made the provision of care so much more difficult all round. I admire hugely the way in which Uvedale staff have performed in this public health crisis.

My mother has only just moved to Uvedale Hall, but already she is saying how lovely and kind the carers are and that staying there is like being on holiday! Mum is enjoying three meals a day as well as coffee and afternoon tea with regular and varied entertainment in the afternoons. She feels safe,
less lonely and cared for. Myself and my family are so grateful. Thank you, Uvedale Hall!

My Mum has been a resident for the last year at Uvedale Hall and I can’t rate the Manager and staff highly enough. Mum arrived underweight and very weak unable to have a meaningful conversation. Now, Mum still has her good and bad days but the good days are far more than the bad now and her weight has
improved. Thanks to Uvedale Hall's management and staff.

My dad has been at Uvedale Hall for a year now. They have just been absolutely amazing. Everyone is so kind and helpful. My dad is treated with such respect. If I have any concerns, there is always someone I can voice these to. The staff always seem to be smiling, even behind the masks. I wasn't able
to visit on fathers day as I have covid, but Dad was well chuffed with a present they gave him - how thoughtful. Sums them up - really caring.

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.
