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 Grange

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.

My family and I have been overwhelmed by the high level of care and kindness throughout my mums time here. All the staff at every level go above and beyond to ensure Mum's health safety and comfort whilst keeping relatives up to date and included. We thank you so much for that dedication, especially

Upton Grange is a happy place, they have had challenging times due to covid, but they have been amazing with the handling of the whole situation. They have gone above and beyond to keep our relatives safe, and we as a family, are more than happy taking a back seat during these difficult months, as we
know our loved ones are in safe hands. Thank you to all the hard-working staff for everything you do.

Upton Grange is a caring, loving and supportive home. I couldn't have asked for more for my husband's recovery. All the staff are warm, friendly, supportive and bright and cheerful. Nothing is too much trouble. I cannot thank them enough, my husband improved rapidly in their care.

My mother is safe and happy knowing that all the staff have her best interest at heart. They treat her as they would their own mother which is very reassuring for us as a family. They go above and beyond which must be very stressful during such crazy times. We cannot thank them enough for all that they
do. The relsApp has been a great addition to help us send little messages photos etc until we are allowed to revisit. Thank you once again.

Review from Maria P (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident at Upton Grange since April 2019, due to my health issues I was worried I could no longer provide her with the full-time care she now needed. The management team and staff were so supportive, caring and mum soon settled into her new home. Before lockdown, I used to visit regularly
at various times of the day and was always made to feel welcome. Now through telephone conversations, Skype (with the help of the staff mum is beginning to become more familiar with) and the new RelsApp I can still talk to and see mum whenever I want to. Despite her increasing dementia, mum has been given an improved quality of life which is all down to the professionalism and genuine care shown by all the wonderful staff at Upton Grange. Their commitment to ensure all their residents are happy and well looked after, especially during this very worrying time, shines through and gives myself and the rest of the family great peace of mind. Thank you, everybody.

Excellent staff, good communication and excellent care. The staff are tuned into mum's needs and personality. She is physically impaired but mentally sound and has developed a great relationship with the staff. They understand her wish for privacy but always pop their head in. The facilities are good
for mum's needs, although the room could do with more sockets and a better set up around the bed. Cleanliness is good, nothing is too much trouble.

As a 94-year-old resident, our father is made as much at home as possible especially through these highly challenging times. Throughout, we know he's safe and well, with everything made possible for us to communicate with him through the help of the ever resilient staff.
Our thanks to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.789 for Upton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (398 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 487 Ratings = 4.789
  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 41 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 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
    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 41 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.
