Thank you for your feedback and your high praise for stand-out members of our team. We're glad your mum was cared for with such dignity and that certain staff made such a positive impact, especially at such a difficult time.Our team comes from diverse backgrounds, and we pride ourselves on providing consistently high levels of training, to continually improve both skills and communication, so we apologise if this was not reflected in your experience. Room upgrades and maintenance are part of a rolling programme of ongoing improvements our housekeeping team clean residents' bedrooms on a daily basis. It's great to hear the addition of a third activities team member has made such a difference.Regarding the facilities, we take pride in our salon, caf, cinema room, spacious garden and other features, and we regret that this wasn't fully reflected.Thank you again for your insights - they help us improve while also recognising our dedicated team.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.579) out of 10 for Upton Dene Residential and Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.579 for Upton Dene Residential and Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 233 Ratings = 4.579
b) 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 Dene Residential and Nursing Home is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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
ii) 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
