All members of staff were absolutely lovely and welcoming. Mum, despite being bed bound towards the end, was always clean and tidy. There were plenty of activities available to the residents and family members. Mum was always treated with dignity. I am very grateful for the care she received.

Upton Bay provide a very friendly atmosphere in a tasteful luxury environment. All the staff are very curtious and take the trouble to interact with both residents and guests. There are well organised events and activities for the residents. The food and drinks provided are excellent and there is a
lovely private dining room/lounge for residents to spend time with their guests.

The staff have been brilliant with Mum. She is very content. Have helped her settle. There are good activities to help entertain Mum. Staff have also been great at spending tim talking to Mum. Leadership at Upton Bay has been very helpful to me and the family, advising and helping us to understand
how to make sure Mum is content. Also keep us advised of Mum's needs.

Our Dad has been at Upton Bay recently. We visit very regularly. Dad has always been clean, impeccably dressed is very well cared for. The staff are so friendly and obviously really do care alot about Dads wellbeing. We are so happy he is here, and feel reassured he is definately in the right place.

I would highly recommend Upton Bay Care home. The care is excellent and the residents are made to feel part of an extended family. Recently, my mother-in-law celebrated her 90th Birthday, she was made to feel so special and enjoyed a slice of her amazing birthday cake.

As a new comer to Upton Bay Care Home I have been very impressed by what I have seen so far and certainly my expectations have been met. I am pleased with the choice of care home made for my wife. All staff seem very dedicated and friendly, very suited to their roles and I think my wife is becoming
more settled in her new environment which provides her with a lot of flexibility that she needed.

Mum had been in Upton Bay for around three years and i could not have asked for a better place for her to be. the staff are all fabulous and looked after mum brilliantly even in her more difficult moments. Of all the tough decisions we had to make as she suffered with dementia, i am 100% confident
that we got this one right. super place with super people.

Out mother spent the final four months of her life at Upton Bay, before finally passing away peacefully at the age of 98. She could not have had better care and love, with all her individual needs attended to. Her family and friends were always welcomed 24/7, and we came to feel part of a homely,
loving community, able to fully enjoy her last Christmas and celebrate family birthdays together with staff and other residents at the home. Her final passing was managed with the utmost care and respect, supporting the family in every way possible, relieving much of the stress, and helping create some beautiful memories for us all. Thank you so much!
