Mum came here from hospital following surgery on a broken leg. The day she arrived she was unable to walk at all and found it difficult to stand by herself. She has been at the centre now for just over 2 weeks and can now walk across the room using either her crutches or walking frame, something we didn’t think we’d ever see her do in such a short time. The physios here have been great with Mum, …she really likes them both and feels comfortable with them. All the nurses and staff have been amazing and we can’t fault any of them – in fact, we don’t think she’d have recovered had she not come here. A big thank you to everyone involved in Mums care, keep it up, you’re all fabulous!

23.05.18

My cousin who is 94 was transferred from hospital to Uplands. She was treated with respect and utmost care especially as she was blind and profoundly deaf.

Rather confused, I didn’t know what had happened. I was found on the floor of my kitchen and taken to the local hospital. A week later I was transferred to Uplands, a nice looking building, well kept and beautifully clean. Physiotherapists were good, explaining what they were doing and why. Food excellent, menu well thought out and beautifully presented. Staff plentiful, all very pleasant and helpful. On the whole a calm, happy atmosphere, helping clients to calm down. A good experience and happy outcome.

The facilities and standards of physiotherapy and occupational therapy are excellent. The staff are all caring and friendly and concerned with individuals’ welfare. The rooms are airy and clean with en-suite toilet and shower. Cleanliness is excellent and clothing was even washed and returned on a daily basis. Food is excellent, the overall experience has been excellent. The standard provided has been such that my period of rehabilitation has been completed in the shortest period, enabling me to return home with a significantly reduced care programme, thus saving the need for extensive home care, which would otherwise have been required.
