Review from C C (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
We thought we had found the perfect forever home for our father. Dad 97 with dementia, entered Upton Grange after an illness which meant a 5-week spell in hospital, he settled in remarkably well. His room was amazing, and the care staff was so attentive and caring. We were confident that all his needs
were being met and he was content and happy, all was well in the world, until he, had a fall (accidents will happen) and broke his hip, re-admitted to hospital, and had surgery. 7 days after surgery he was declared medically fit and was discharged back to Upton Grange. A couple of hours after discharge I was informed, that the Management at the home had made the decision to return him to the hospital, it was felt that he could no longer be cared for at Upton Grange. The following day we were asked to clear his room. The family and more importantly Dad have been totally and utterly traumatized by these events. We cannot believe it. How quickly a chameleon can change its colour!
Reply from Carrie Browne, Marketing Executive at Upton GrangeThank you for your comments in regard to your dad's initial positive experience at Upton Grange. We empathise with the difficult situation you are in. Residents' safety and wellbeing are our utmost priority and lead any decisions we make about the care we can provide.
Carrie Browne District Manager.

My mum arrived at Upton Grange on the 04.02.22. Understandably, she was very anxious and distressed; she needn't of been. All the staff were very warm and welcoming. Mum spent just over nine weeks here and settled well within hours! Would highly recommend Upton Grange; it is so much more than a care
home - more like a home from home.

Staff are to be highly praised for their compassion and care. They are attentive and kind. Although the same cannot be said about the food in the way that sandwiches are usually the only option for an evening meal. The price we pay if staying in a hotel would be considered below standard. Please amend
the menu! Are chefs trained?
Reply from Julie Harwood, Home Manager at Upton GrangeThank you for taking the time to review Upton Grange, and we are pleased that you rate our staff as excellent. We will continue to liaise with you and your mum regarding our food. Our catering team regularly review our menus with our residents' input and we continue to offer hot and cold alternatives on our menus each day for all meal times to suit our resident’s dietary requirements and preferences.

Mu nan has improved dramatically in the short time he has been at the gRange. She feels welcomed and supported by staff. It is amazing to see what impact a few changes have made to my nan's quality of life. She is so much brighter and appears to be a lot happier now which to me shows that she is being
looked after well. The whole family is so grateful for everything the team does.

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.
