My father enjoyed two weeks of respite care at Upton Mill following time in hospital after a fall. He felt well cared for and was in much better shape after his time here.

Having no previous experience of a care home, we found Upton Mill Care Home to be a happy, well organised and friendly place to stay for 3-4 weeks respite care, including physio, in my case. Somewhat restricted to my room, I only had lunch in the dining room once but all meals brought to my room were
good, tasty and nourishing. Response to the call button was excellent. If i may comment on one possible short coming, that was the lack of direct light for reading when confined to the bed, either wall-mounted or standard lamp might work.
Reply from Sita Muzira, Home Manager at Upton Mill Care Home

I am glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and that we were able to provide the care you required. We will certainly take your feedback about lighting into consideration. Please do not hesitate to visit us for coffee, cake and a catch-up soon!

Mum has been a resident at Upton Mill for over 3 years. Throughout that time, she has received excellent care and kindness. She never wanted to have to move into care, but now she looks on her room as home. Aged 98, she still enjoys many of the activities available, especially sing a-longs and has made
new friends amongst the other residents.
I can thoroughly recommend Upton Mill to anyone looking for a lovely care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mother-in-law, 96 years old, has been a resident since April 2021. She moved from another home that closed. We chose Upton Mill due to being in the same area and was a new, purpose-built home which met all her needs at the time and moving forward in her dementia journey. The Manager and Deputy are very
visible within the home and very approachable at all times. The home is very welcoming with a friendly reception, all the staff are friendly, approachable and very caring even when under pressure.
The food is very good more like a restaurant and all dietary needs are catered for.
The home is very clean and kept to a high standard.
All rooms are en-suite and very spacious, you can bring your personal items to make them more personalised.
Care reviews happen yearly but you are updated with any concerns regularly and also they have a resident of the day where you get a call asking if you have any concerns and they also speak with the resident.
Activities are daily and have improved during the last year.

I have been a resident here for several years now initially for respite following operations for cancer. This was just a few nights over several years. Since 2023 I have been a permanent resident here and am very happy, so much so that before long my husband plans to come here too! I've made lots of
friends who are happy here too. We all have lovely rooms, the downstairs ones having patios on which you can put your own garden furniture. The activities organiser is second to none! All staff are well chosen!

Mum has been living at Upton Mill Care Home for 4 months and during that time she has settled in incredibly well and already says she's very happy to be there. All the staff are very friendly, caring and professional, and when I visit I always feel very welcome. The facilities on offer at Upton Mill
are first rate and the surroundings are well thought-out and tastefully designed. It's lovely to be able to get a coffee and cake when I visit and relax either in her lovely room or in one of the many communal areas and gardens. Mum is also able to go on trips in Upton Mill's own minibus and she has made new friends and taken part in the many tailored activities that the home has to offer. Truly a home from home.

We would highly recommend Upton Mill, all the staff, without exception were so caring, helpful and informative. Nothing was too much trouble, housekeeping, laundry, tea and coffee making, welcome on arrival, care package, regular medications reviews, dining arrangements - all handled with cheerfulness
and thought. The dining room, lounges and hub area are decorated to a high standard and my Mother was very happy with her room.
Regular relatives meetings are held which is helpful for all the questions that you have as a daughter/son.

The client services manager very kindly took my mum in on an urgent basis as her home had been flooded and she needed somewhere to go for a couple of weeks.
Mum received excellent care and everyone was very kind to her.
The care home was clean and tidy and the food was excellent.
My only complaint
was maybe the room needed one extra table and chest of draws.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Upton Mill Care Home has been a wonderful experience for my partner who suffered a stroke in November 2022. After 4.5 months in two hospitals and a rehab centre, the change in him in only a few weeks at Upton Mill has been nothing short of remarkable! From staying in bed throughout the day he is now
up, showered, shaved and dressed daily and is mobile and walking around - only returning to his bed at night. As a result he is fitter, sleeping well throughout the night and eating meals at a table. The nursing staff are exemplary with referrals to all necessary services completed within a few days of arrival. The carers and the cleaners are cheerful, helpful and friendly. The management and receptionists are caring, considerate and professional. Catering is excellent with plenty of choice and great presentation at all mealtimes. Facilities are second to none - wonderful designs in the lounges and seating for all requirements and needs. Everyone is an individual at Upton Mill. Standards are high.

My parents enjoyed their stay at Upton Mill over Christmas and left feeling rested and cared for. The staff were very attentive, and they enjoyed the food very much. They had two rooms with a connecting door, which they found useful, allowing my mum to be helped at night without disturbing my dad.
I
was very happy with the easy move-in at short notice and the kindness and friendliness of all staff I met. We were able to have a family gathering in the private dining room, which helped with making the stay more festive.

Nothing is too much trouble, from the administrative side facilitating my mother's move to her new home to the caring team looking after her. They have thoroughly assessed her needs, being very professional and kind. The food is of a high standard and the rooms are spotless. Most heartwarming of all
was to arrive and see my mum being involved in a Christmas party put on for the home. A very special home and being an ex-district nurse I feel that my review is an informed one. Thank you for what you all do!

My aunt moved into Upton Mill after a fall and a hospital stay in November this year. It has been a very smooth transition for her from living at home with a care package to becoming a permanent resident at Upton Mill. The whole home is excellent. It's clean, bright and fresh and has the feel of a very

My mother has been a resident at Upton Mill since September 2022, having moved from her previous care home to be nearer to family. We have all been impressed with the cleanliness and decorative order of the home, home-cooked and delicious food, and the wide range of activities on offer, both inside
and outside the home. Personal care, laundry etc are of a high standard. Communication is good, with any queries promptly addressed. Obviously, it will take Mum a little time to adjust, at the age of 95, to her new surroundings but all the signs are good so far.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.624)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.624) out of 10 for Upton Mill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.624 for Upton Mill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (94 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.624
  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 Upton Mill Care Home is based on 30 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 30 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.

Alyson

Alyson Day

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2025

Hello, my name is Alyson, and I am the Home Manager here at Upton Mill.


I have worked in the care sector since 1981 in various settings that have given me extensive experience in nursing, residential, hospital and day services.


I have been a manager for just over 26 years and previously successfully commissioned a home in Bristol. I have also supported other care homes through local authority visits and Care Quality Commission inspections.


I love doing what I do each day and am committed to providing a high-quality service for our residents and their loved ones. The reputation of our home is incredibly important to me.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and my very active Labrador. I have two children and three young grandchildren, making me a rather young and hip nanny!

Kym

Kym Wagstaff

Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2020

Hello, my name is Kym Wagstaff, and I am the Deputy Manager here at Upton Mill.


I hold a dual qualification as an RGN and paramedic, and I have worked in both the NHS and private sectors for over 30 years. I am passionate about supporting senior individuals in living life to the fullest in a caring and high-quality environment that caters for their needs. I have worked at Upton Mill for just over three years, and when I walk through our home's front doors I feel that I am walking into the home of 64 individuals.


I care about our team and thoroughly enjoy working with them to unlock their full potential so that they can grow and learn in an environment that supports the six C's of care: care, compassion, competence, communication, courage and commitment.

Correna Reed

Job Title: Client Services Manager Joined: 2025

Hello, my name is Correna, and I am the Client Services Manager here at Upton Mill Care Home.


I have worked in care for 40 years now and qualified as a nurse in 1991, working in orthopaedic trauma until I left in 2006. Since then I have worked in various areas of care from working for Stryker as a Clinical Support Specialist to working in private healthcare overseeing the private patient’s surgical pathway. I have also worked as a care manager in the community setting up live-in care packages and overseeing their ongoing management.


I am passionate about providing the best service for both residents and families, and my aim is to support them through the process, from initial enquiry to assisting with a stress-free transition into our home. Building good relationships has always been extremely important to me.


I live in South Gloucestershire with my husband and two miniature dachshunds. I have three children and three grandchildren whom I absolutely adore, and I love spending my spare time with family and traveling to new places.
