I was very impressed from my first enquiry to my father's return home. All the staff I've dealt with have been extremely professional caring kind and above all, they enjoy helping the residents and their relatives. He was given such a warm welcome when we arrived which gave me peace of mind for the
duration of his stay knowing that he was being looked after by such a kind caring team. We will definitely use Uplands Care Home for respite care in the future. Thank you for looking after my father so well.

My ex husband / son’s father is currently receiving end of life care at Uplands Care Home. As a Nurse myself I have been so impressed with the high level of nursing care he is receiving. The staff are all very welcoming, friendly and truly care for the residents and families. Nothing is too much for
them. I go home after my visits with no worries as I know he is safe and in good hands. This is so important when you are dealing with the emotions of facing the loss of a loved one.

My experience with Uplands staff has been very good, overall. They are friendly and professional. I am particularly grateful for their efforts to celebrate my uncle's 100th birthday, which was a very special and thoughtful event. My uncle is cared for with respect and dignity. He is clean and nourished
and I feel confident that he is safe and secure. His clothes laundering is well organised too. The home is clean, although inevitably there are times when the corridor does not smell fresh. I appreciate that the staff phone me to let me know any developments about my uncle.

Mum has been at Uplands for three weeks and is settling in nicely. The staff are very accommodating and are able to meet Mum's cultural needs from food, to having interaction with other residents of the same culture. Mum says she is OK and the staff treat her with care and respect. After being very
against Mum being placed into a care home, I feel assured that the home respect her dignity, culture and healthcare needs.

This week my mum had a sudden fall, not long before handover at 8pm. The paramedics were called and she was taken to hospital to be checked over, where she was admitted. The male nurse in charge stayed until 10pm, when the ambulance left, long after his shift had ended and made sure I was updated before
he had left, which I am very grateful for.

I'm very happy with the care and support of my aunty. She is smiling and content whenever I come to visit. The staff are friendly and personable from the moment I walk into reception. It really helps to ease my anxiety and puts a smile on my face as I go to see my aunty. I know you have a range of meals
but my aunty is keen to eat food prepared in a west indian way, although I know this is not practical.

It’s with a very heavy heart I am writing this as my father passed away on the 11th of April 2022. The end of life care he was given was unbelievable. I would like to mention a few people, firstly the manager, two members of staff, in particular, the maintenance man and the rest of the staff, who were
all outstanding. It had been a hard 5-weeks watching my father pass as well as me going to work, but it always made my day when I came to see dad and how well dressed and lovely he looked. My family and I would like to send our love to everyone, they made our last memories ones never, to be forgotten. My father is now starting his last wish, to be buried in Barbados, which is going to be happening very soon. I would give the home top marks in everything and I even received a call from the manager today to see how myself and the family are doing. Thank you Uplands Care Home, my father’s family for the last 7-plus years.

My aunt was in Uplands for seven months. She was taken to hospital with pain and doctor's found she had cancer. She said she did not want treatment, only to go home. I asked her where home was and she said Uplands in Streatham.

Uplands Care Home is a gift to family members! The staff are warm and welcoming, and the team is lead beautifully by the manager. The team have cared for my mother so well, and I am incredibly grateful. The staff feel like family, and in times like these, the reassurance they have provided is priceless.
I always know she is not being mistreated but treated with tender care. My mother was coming from having to previously rely on home visiting carers that often had a fast turnover and limited connections. I am happy that uplands seem to retain a constant roaster of exceptional staff. Thank you team Uplands!

Mum has been a resident at Uplands Care Home since May 2015. She went into Uplands reluctantly. Mum has suffered with psychotic illness/schizo affective disorder, so Mum's behaviour has been very challenging for all the family and staff. She could be physically and verbally challenging when unwell and
can't remember anything afterwards when well. The staff at Uplands got to understand Mum's ways, they adapted to her, calling her Princess and Bubbles, which Mum loved. During Covid, they were Mum's only support. We did not see Mum for a year leaving her care up to them.

In the four years of my friend living at Uplands, I have experienced much kindness from carers and nursing staff. They always have been willing to listen to requests. They have discussed care plans regularly and have been open to suggestions. The nursing staff have made suggestions to improve the lifestyle
ie to buy a television for my friend, despite her dementia etc.

Hello, I just had to share my amazing experience with Uplands Care Home. My wonderful Mum came to live here a few years ago. From the very beginning, they tended to her every need and it became quite obvious that the staff were kind, caring, professional and the right people to look after my mum, and
this was the right place for her due to how clearly involved the management was. I used to visit daily and noticed how clean and well looked after it was, and because of this, we then decided that my Sister would also be happy here. The communication via myself and the staff was always brilliant. Any questions are always listened to and answered.
It wasn't easy to get my sister into Uplands but it happened with the manager's help and support, she went above and beyond. It is obvious that she cares deeply and is great management.
I will be forever grateful.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.320)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.320) out of 10 for Uplands Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.320 for Uplands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 197 Ratings = 4.32

  • 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 Uplands Care Home is based on 16 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 16 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.
