Review from Mandy L (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 17 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum-in-law celebrated her 100th birthday in hospital with Covid after falling at home, so we wanted her to move into a safe environment.
We already had experience of Upton Grange after a respite stay so it was the obvious choice. Mum loves it here, the staff are wonderful and the building and rooms
are bright, spotlessly clean and the whole atmosphere is one of friendliness and kindness.
She wants for nothing and we can visit her at any time, the regime is very relaxed and welcoming. Meals are first class and the dining environment encourages residents to socialise, so I have no hesitation in recommending Upton Grange to anyone on the Wirral.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum moved to Upton Grange during covid among the highest restrictions. Due to circumstances, we were unable to visit Mum and see for ourselves how she was in the environment. The manager ad her team worked closely with us as a family to gain knowledge of Mum, her needs, but also allayed any concerns
we had. They were approachable and receptive if we had any concerns. Mum is now 2 years on and I wouldn't ever consider another facility. Mum is surrounded with a team who care.

Mum arrived during covid. It was a very difficult time due to restrictions and not being able to meet the team at Upton and explain Mum's restrictions and needs, however, we feel that the team reacted to any of our requests. Due to two years on, the team know Mum very well. They understand Mum and we
would not consider moving Mum anywhere else.

Whenever I visit my grandmother, the staff are very welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. The home is cheerful and bright. Everywhere looks clean and tidy. It’s lovely to see my nan involved in activities such as seeing the owls, enjoying the singers and dancing in the lounge.

No problems with the staff whatsoever, but could do with more staff to cover peak time at mornings and bedtimes. Also, the food does vary in quality.

The carers within the care home are attentive to my mum's needs. They endeavour to accommodate all the residents' foibles, with a smile. They organise activities within the care home as well as excursions to varying places. Overall, this is a good place for my mum.

My mum has been at Upton Grange for over three years. She is settled and happy. The care is of a very good standard and I cannot speak highly enough of the staff - they are friendly and caring and make my mum feel valued and 'at home'.
The home is generally bright, airy and clean and also offers good
food. It is a comfortable place to live. I am very grateful for the care my mum receives.

My mother was in respite care for two weeks. The care was absolutely perfect. Mum enjoyed the whole experience, she compared it to a five-star hotel. No faults whatsoever. Every member of staff was caring, kind and thoughtful. Her medication was always administered regularly. Mum and Family would not
hesitate to go back for respite.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We arrived at Upton Grange Care Home after a long, difficult journey to move Dad into a care home near me. We were greeted by a team of staff (including the manager) who focussed immediately on Dad's needs. Our welcome was warm, friendly and, above all, truly caring. In the three days since, Dad has
settled well. I am confident he will be happy in his new environment.

Our mum entered the care home under extreme conditions during the start of Covid. We cannot praise all the staff enough for the care she had/has been given. The care home is fabulous. We, as a family, can't thank them enough for all that they do as a team for our Mum. Times have certainly been challenging
for us all, but her care did not suffer. Thank you all at Upton Grange.

After viewing several residential homes, I stopped at Upton Grange to enquire about care for my mum. I was greeted with a lovely member of staff who showed me around and was really helpful. It can be such a stressful time for all the family, but they were so helpful answered all my questions. Mum has
been living here for 4 weeks and I can't believe how she has settled so quickly. All the staff are so helpful and caring, nothing is too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this care home to anyone who is thinking of putting their loved ones into care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.859)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.859) out of 10 for Upton Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.859 for Upton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (416 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 475 Ratings = 4.859
  2. 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 Upton Grange is based on 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 40 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
