Upper Mead is simply wonderful, and I would highly recommend it. My dad has been here for a few weeks, and the transformation in him is incredible. He seems so happy and settled. Every member of staff are exceptionally dedicated. They are kind, compassionate, always smiling and take wonderful care of all his personal needs. The manager Lynn is lovely and is always around to make sure everyone is ok. The entire home is spotlessly clean, and the open-plan layout is fantastic. It is amazing for my dad in his wheelchair because he loves watching people come and go. It's peaceful yet vibrant, with always someone there to cheer him up. To top it all off, the food is incredible-my dad eats everything. Knowing he is so well cared for in such a wonderful environment gives us complete peace of mind.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so pleased your dad has settled so well.

He repeatedly...
These experiences left me without confidence in the care provided, and I ultimately brought him home after four days. I would strongly recommend visiting the home personally before agreeing to a placement.

This care home is superb. It is homely and care is personalised. My father was at the home for just a few weeks for end of life care. Communication was good throughout. There is always a warm welcome and staff take their time to get to know you. This is not a modern, newly built home, but that does not dictate the care. Thank you for looking after my father at the end of his life.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Your feed back means a lot to us all in the home.
Our Mum moved into Upper Mead in May 2026, and since she has been there we have noticed a change in her, she has put on weight, laughing more, and talking more.

My father has been a resident of this incredible place since September 2025, and I cannot emphasise how utterly brilliant this home is. They are so kind to my dad and also the care is so good. They are attentive and provide so much support for him. Having lived independently for so long, I was worried he would not be settled, but he settled in so quickly because of the love and kindness he receives at Upper Mead. I am very keen to ensure everyone knows how awesome this home is.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so happy that your father has settled in so well
Staff are excellent at this home; Trevor is content here and kept extremely clean and comfortable. They are very attentive to their patients here. Cannot fault them in any way. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

Thank you so much for the care given to my grandad. Your staff were so friendly. Were there to help if we needed. He passed away here as was end of life and as a family were happy with the care he received. He appeared fairly content when I visited him.

For more than 30 years, Lynn Lovett has been at the heart of Upper Mead Care Home in Henfield, part of Splendid Care. With a career rooted in compassion, dedication and deep community connection, Lynn has become not only a much-loved leader, but also the steady presence that has helped shape Upper Mead into the warm, person-centred home it is today.
Lynn first joined Upper Mead in the mid 1990s, beginning her journey as a night shift care assistant while raising her two children. She soon realised that care was more than simply a job; it was the career she was meant for. As she puts it, “the home is my life and my world,” a sentiment reflected in the longevity and commitment of her service. Over time, she progressed through roles including dementia unit leader, drawing on both her growing expertise and her natural gift for supporting people with kindness and dignity.
Around 15 years ago, Lynn was appointed Home Manager, a role she embraced wholeheartedly.
Lynn takes immense pride in ensuring the home feels like a true family environment. She is passionate about maintaining choice, dignity and respect at the centre of every decision. Three decades on, Lynn continues to lead Upper Mead with the same dedication she brought on her very first shift. She remains deeply proud of her team and the community they have built together.
