It is hard asking a parent to go into care even if it is only for a short period of time so that you have time to care for the other parent. I have done this recently with a heavy heart, I was so very worried about how Mum would be. I should have saved my energy, Mum was delighted with her room, the
food was excellent she could do as much or as little as she wanted, the staff and carers were amazing, caring, thoughtful, trustworthy and available all the time. I sadly lost my Dad during Mum's stay, a week at Uvedale Hall, the management and staff went the extra mile and sat with Mum when she needed just some company or for a chat, they were all amazing, the care was outstanding in all aspects of her stay. Thank you.

Spent a week recovering from a hip operation. Comfortable surroundings and excellent food. Friendly, caring and effective staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. I can thoroughly recommend Uvedale Hall to anyone in need of care, at whatever level.

The staff do a great job of looking after my mother-in-law. They are very caring. I don't think there are enough trips out or encouragement to sit in the garden when the weather is nice. There could be more stimulus.

Reply from Deborah Rich, Registered Home Manager at Uvedale Hall

Hello, thank you for your comments which I will share with the team. I am pleased you are happy with the care team being so caring. Please do have lunch with us next time you are here as I am sure you will notice a difference with the arrival of the new chef. We are always looking at things to do to stimulate us and we hope to have a link up with the local school children for some intergenerational fun.

The care is second to none. The carers are always very helpful, smiling and chatty.
The food is excellent and catered to dietary requirements. Plenty of activities. The home is very warm and friendly.
The staff are very quick at identifying a resident's change in needs and source the appropriate
equipment.

My uncle became ill and spent some time in hospital. He was unable to return home so had to go into care. Uvedale Hall has a homely feel and all the staff have been friendly, caring and I feel happy/relieved to have found such a place for my uncle.

The care and kindness that my mother has received in Uvedale Hall has been excellent. The staff have gone out of their way to help her settle into her new home and surroundings. Everyone appears to have the care of the residents as their priority.

Reply from Jonathan Hammond, Registered Home Manager at Uvedale Hall

Thank you for taking the time in submitting a review. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. It is always nice to see residents settling into Uvedale Hall and joining in the activities, especially when their medical condition affects their return journey home.

We are more than happy to recommend the home.

Working as a team, all staff give 110% treating my Mum like their own family member. All her needs are met at all times and I could not ask for more. My Mum has just spent a short time in hospital due to a stroke and when arriving back at Uvedale her one and the only word was Home and smiled. What more
could you ask for? Thank you all so much.

I had to arrange 6 weeks of respite care for my 85-year-old Godmother at very short notice.
The management team made all the arrangements and assessments very efficiently. All the staff were polite and helpful for the duration of the stay.
The quality of the meals provided was excellent Uvedale even
accommodated the stay of a much loved pet which helped with convalescence. Highly recommend.

We truly believe that my dad coming to live at Uvedale Hall has saved his life as he was unable to cope with living at home alone. Since moving to Uvedale he has put on, much-needed weight with all the lovely food he has been eating. The staff are wonderful, kind, patient, caring and have really lifted
my dad's spirits, made him happier and better than he has felt in a very long time.

I was made most welcome. Care was taken to settle me in. This was a complete change in lifestyle for me, having lived alone for some four years so a three-week trial was just a taster but long enough to make me think that this would be suitable in a few years time (maybe less).
All staff were very
friendly and tried to make me feel at home.

Uvedale Hall must be the best example of a residential home in Suffolk. All the staff genuinely care for all of their residents from the top down. The atmosphere in the home is second to none and you can really feel the care, attention and happy air generated. The food, hall, gardens and standards of
hygiene are excellent. My mother-in-law has only the highest praise for Uvedale Hall and my husband and I certainly second that.

I am a regular visitor to a resident.
I find management and staff very caring and helpful.
They always have a smile.
The residents I see seem so happy and the carers go out of their way to make them comfortable.
I have been to their cheese and wine, cocktail party etc and the food is delicious.
Good
activities and entertainment.
If I had to go in a home I would like it to be Uvedale Hall.

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.
