Outstanding support and care given to residents and their families throughout this year and the pandemic. Good communication. Good care. I have already recommended it to friends and talked about it. Excellent decor, very good welcoming. Outstanding care, with dignity and confidentiality.

My father was a resident from Aug 2021 until April 2022 and had fantastic care. The staff went above and beyond and Dad's needs were met. The home was well-managed Dad thoroughly enjoyed his time there. In his final days, the staff and manager were there for us as well as Dad, which helped so much.

During a difficult time, we felt very comfortable because of our trust in the excellent management team. Dad was comfortable because of the high standard of care delivered by a very kind team. He particularly liked the food and enjoyed the activities. I have no hesitation recommending Uvedale Hall.

After a spell in hospital with sepsis and cellulitis, Mum arrived at Uvedale Hall exhausted but happy to be there. The treatment she received could only be described as outstanding, the food was wonderful and Mum started to put on some much needed weight, (in a good way). Nothing was too much trouble
for all the staff and carers, whoever knocked on the door would enter with a smile and a cheery greeting. I am fully confident that Mum's recovery was down to the incredible, thoughtful manner in which she was treated. I would have no hesitation in Mum staying again in the future.

Reply from Suzanne York, Registered Home Manager at Uvedale Hall

Thank you for taking the time to write us such a glowing review. We thoroughly enjoyed having your mum spend some time with us all. It was our pleasure to enable her back on the road to recovery. Best wishes Suzanne and Team Uvedale.

Despite the recent and ongoing difficulties managing Covid and its restrictions Uvedale Hall seems to have boundless ideas, energy and plans for its residents and staff within the home to enhance and make the home truly a place to be. My father has lived a much longer life only due to their love, care
and attention each and every day. When times were hard recently and many days must have been dark, the manager and her team have oozed positivity and persevered to come out with such optimism and inspiration to promote a bigger and better home. At a time when one would expect the team to slow down, breathe and realign, no, Uvedale are charging ahead with ideas and plans to renovate and refurbish. How admirable! There are few homes that can truthfully exude such genuine care and attention to detail for one another and respect for each other and all under their care. There seems to be no usual day or routine at Uvedale Hall, it’s a true place to live every minute!

Reply from Suzanne York, Registered Home Manager at Uvedale Hall

Thank you so much Amanda for taking the time to recognise and also highlight, how hard we are all trying, to make Uvedale Hall a "true home for our residents". We are so lucky to be able to work in their fabulous home with them all. I endeavour to share your lovely feedback with everyone. With the kindest of regards Suzanne and Team Uvedale.

Mum had Parkinson's and was deteriorating rapidly. Uvedale Hall and the team provided a safe, comfortable, professional, yet family-orientated environment for Mum. Despite the challenges of covid, both Dad and I were able to see Mum (as per rules) and the welcome from staff and the overall warmth and
cleanliness of the care home was evident. I can't thank the team enough.

Mum was at Uvedale Hall for just under two years before she passed away at the home. During that time, she had excellent care. The staff were friendly and helpful. Sadly Mum returned to the home after a spell in hospital in a dreadful state, but the amazing dedication and commitments of the staff, under
great management, kept her safe and comfortable until she passed away. Cannot thank or praise the staff highly enough.

This care home is run and managed to a very high standard. The manager treats everyone as her own family and staff are very helpful - nothing is too much trouble. It has a high standard of hygiene, food is top quality and caters for all requests. It is very near to Needham lakes for walks with family
and friends and is more like a hotel with care. Family and friends can relax, knowing their loved ones are happy and very comfortable.

I am so pleased that we chose Uvedale Hall for my mum's care for the last 22 months. She settled in quickly, enjoying meals and activities and made friends with other residents and staff. The last few months, she needed more care which the wonderful staff gave her with love, kindness, care and compassion.
Thank you all.

Staff have done a fantastic job throughout a really challenging period over the last year. It is great to see things starting to return to normal and the positive impact this is having on residents and staff. My Dad has been a resident for 4 years. He likes to retain some independence, but has times
when he relies more on the care and support of staff. All the staff are kind, patient and caring and they offer friendship and humour, which he greatly appreciates. My Dad looks forward to the afternoon activities, particularly the visiting entertainers (who have dropped in via zoom during the pandemic). They are the highlight of his week. The care home is near to the centre of Needham Market and near to Needham Lake- the gardens and grounds are maintained beautifully.

Ever since we moved my Dad to live at Uvedale, he has been happier. The staff are wonderful and nothing has been too much trouble, always seeing to Dad's needs quickly and with a smile. The whole atmosphere is of a "home from home" and me and my family can now rest assured at all times that Dad is being
very well cared for, for which we are all so grateful. Throughout the COVID crisis, Uvedale has been well run and a sanctuary of calm and kindness.

My Mum has been a resident at Uvedale Hall for the last two and a half years. After living in her own home for 72 years, I wondered if she would settle anywhere else, but she did and very quickly, thanks to the wonderful staff. She soon made new friends, enjoys all the activities and gets on well with
all the staff. My Mum is very happy there, which of course, makes me happy. The past two months haven't been the easiest for her, due to Covid, but the wonderful care the staff have given her, has got her through it and she is so much better than she was and still improving, thanks to them. I cannot fault Uvedale Hall at all and would recommend it to anyone.

Having been married for sixty years, my wife had to go into care six months ago. Based upon local recommendations, we chose Uvedale Hall. I take great comfort in the knowledge that my wife is in safe hands and properly looked after by nice people in a nice place. I could not wish for more.

said, "It does not smell like a care home." Telling words indeed.

Reply from Jon Hammond, Registered Home Manager at Uvedale Hall

We welcomed this lady into our home from another care setting with several complex care needs. Her husband has been extremely supportive from the very start. Together we have worked alongside other healthcare professionals to support this resident to improve her health, wellbeing and regain a community spirit. Her husband has been very respectful of the visiting conditions currently in place.

My mother has settled into Uvedale Hall and is very happy there. The staff are very friendly and kind and she enjoys the food. She is well looked after and the garden is very nice. The building is imposing but could do with some updating, particularly the heating system which was a problem last winter.

Mum arrived for respite after discharge from the hospital. Within days she had settled in so well and currently on week three is flourishing with the care and stimulation of the dedicated staff. She is full of praise for staff/food/entertainment and her room. So I am answering the questions on behalf
of Mum as due to lockdown restrictions I have been unable to observe myself.

Reply from Jon Hammond, Registered Home Manager at Uvedale Hall

The staff enjoy hearing how new residents have settled. Especially after they have been a little dubious in joining us. Each member of our team strives to make new residents welcome. This has been very difficult recently due to new residents being isolated for 14 days. The staff have worked outstandingly to welcome new residents to Uvedale Hall. it is always good to hear that residents are enjoying the experience of living at Uvedale Hall.

I was at Uvedale Hall for a week's respite care. I greatly enjoyed the activities, they were varied each day. My washing and laundry was done every day and returned immaculately. The staff are kind and attentive. A very pleasant friendly atmosphere. I would have liked more meals in the lovely dining
room, rather than served in the bedroom, but that's maybe because I just like talking to others.

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.
