Uplands Nursing Home

jaded in some areas (currently undergoing modernisation), the new parts of the home are excellent, with large modern rooms and all facilities.
What really makes "Uplands" stand out is the staff. They are totally devoted to the well being of the residents, with no job or request being too small. There is genuine care, and, dare I say it, love for the people they look after. The job they do, sometimes very difficult with all manner of different disabilities (I have seen it for myself) is totally beyond reproach. It's not a house that makes a home, but people and the staff at "Uplands" certainly make the place feel like home for their residents.

other visitors I can see they feel comfortable to be there. My dad has settled in well, he is engaging with staff and they are taking good care of him.

I have had lots of dealings with my dad's carers who used to come to his house so I can see the quality of the carers at Uplands is very good. I also liked that many of the staff have been employed for many years which means that they enjoy their job and the environment. Many carers leave the profession after a short time so it is good to see staff retention.

The food looks good, my dad is very fussy but they offer him lots of choice. We can take the dog to see him and they have a PAT dog come occasionally.
