Mum was only in Uplands Care Home for 3 weeks before she passed away but the home looked after her fantastically well. The staff were a joy to be around and all the residents were happy. This care home is clean and well maintained and if you are having doubts about having to put a loved one into care
don't worry as this home is fantastic.

My husband was admitted in the late stages of cancer. He was in occasional pain when admitted. In uplands the palliative care was greatly improved. The care that he received for the last two weeks of his life was excellent, he died peacefully, I was with him.
Also we (my adult children and myself)
were welcomed anytime and were treated with great kindness.

My mother has been in Uplands for ten years. In all that time she has been treated with respect and dignity. She is always clean, well-fed and lovingly taken care of. Some of the staff have been there since she arrived. All the staff are friendly and very caring. They all pop by to say hello when I
visit. I couldn't wish for any better for my mum.

Review from Janet R (Sister of Resident) published on 13 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My sister has been in Uplands for over a year now. The Nurses there are very good but the actual carers are not very caring at all. My sister is bedridden and can't do a lot for herself. When asking for the bed pan she's told she can only ask 4 times a day which I find totally disgusting. She finds
it very hard to even get a drink opened for her. She will press her bell and then will be told someone will be there shortly. Quite often an hour or so later she is still waiting. When I complain to management I get fobbed off with excuses. I have recently been given a letter almost doubling my sister's rent because they say she needs more care. Bearing in mind she has no different to when she first went there. The doubling of the rent in my book is horrendous. I think she should be getting gold service care for the amount they want. It's been quoted over £3000 a week.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I was a resident from 1st March 2024 to 4th July 2024. Amongst the nursing staff, carers and maintenance staff I met some of the kindest and most caring people I have ever known. The medical condition I went in with improved and healed so much while I was there.
My criticisms are that the place was
very noisy, in the night as well as the day and the food very poor. I was told that the company had been taken over in February of this year (2024)
Reply from Amit Patel, Business Manager at Uplands Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear that our team made a positive impact on your recovery. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by noise and food quality and appreciate your input as we continue to improve. Wishing you all the best in your continued healing

Review from Barbara B (Next of Kin) published on 26 July 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been the main carer and designated next of kin for a dear family friend for the last five years of his life in the dementia unit at Uplands. During his time there he was treated with kindness, dignity and respect and every effort was made to encourage him with his music (he was still able to
play cocktail piano pieces in his 92nd year) As his carer, I was also treated with courtesy and respect. Any concerns I had were always taken seriously and staff were always willing to discuss his changing needs.
Reply from Amit Patel, Business Manager at Uplands Care Home

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're so pleased to hear that your friend was treated with kindness and respect and that his love for music was supported. It's wonderful to know you felt heard and supported as his carer. Your words mean a lot to us.

Didn't start out too well but after a few hiccups resolved, more care and attention was paid to my husband. Staff were caring but needed prompting regarding certain things, towards end-of-life staff were more diligent and on the ball. Management good and very helpful.

All the staff at Uplands have been amazing, my father is happy and well cared for. I believe without the care of Uplads he would no longer be with us. My mum visits regularly and is welcomed by the team, nothing is too much trouble. The new management are making great progress in updating facilities
and consulting relatives' opinions. It's the best care I could have imagined for my father.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.281)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.281) out of 10 for Uplands Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.281 for Uplands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 185 Ratings = 4.281
  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 Uplands Care Home is based on 15 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 15 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.
