Review from Pauline B (Wife of Resident) published on 2 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My husband has been a resident since March 2024. I cannot fault this home in any way. All the staff are extremely caring and kind. My husband is bedbound, he has no bed sores, always clean and well cared for. He is now putting on weight thanks to the lovely food that he is given. The home manager is excellent, any queries and she will sort it. Can't find fault at all, everyone is so friendly.

Review from D E (Husband of Resident) published on 20 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Some very good staff, let down by one or two who need to learn a few basics about caring. Cleanliness not a reflection on cleaners but on carers. Activities - most of the patients not in a position to do any activities.

Review from B B (Respite Resident) published on 21 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Generally speaking, I found the whole experience much better than I thought it would be. The atmosphere of the home, staff and carers were very friendly from the start. The therapist team were very knowledgeable and patient which helped me make good progress. Thank you.

Review from Michael C (Son of Resident) published on 7 August 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum has been at Upminster Care Home for three weeks now, and I can't speak highly enough of all the staff who go above and beyond to make sure my mum is receiving the best care.
I can ask any questions or for anything my mum needs, and the next thing, it's done straight away.
My mum is in the assessment stage and council stage, but I really want my mum to stay here, as it's just what the Doctor ordered!

Review from Graeme M (Nephew of Resident) published on 6 January 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I was happy with the way that my uncle was treated and looked after in Upminster Nursing Home. He arrived there without the best of briefings from the discharging hospital but they made him feel welcome and very quickly took away any stress being caused to him from leaving hospital in his confused state.

Review from Peter B (Son of Resident) published on 12 December 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Moving into a Nursing Home is never an easy decision to make, but I'm pleased to say that my father was treated with care and dignity during his stay. Upminster Nursing home was one of many that we visited and I would have no reservations upon recommending this home.

Review from Graham M (Son of Resident) published on 26 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Having been rather forced into finding a care home for my mother after a bad fall in her home, I visited 9 selected homes to ensure I found the best possible place for her to live out the final years of her life. The one quality that made my decision easy was the undoubtedly friendly manner in which the carers at Upminster Nursing Home treated the residents there.
