The specially-trained staff at Owlett Hall are able to provide various types of care for residents depending on their needs. Care provided at Owlett Hall includes:

Facilities at Owlett Hall Care Home

Each of Owlett Hall’s 57 bedrooms is decorated to a very high standard, and residents can enjoy views of the beautiful surroundings and our spacious garden, with some rooms leading out into the garden itself. Each room features an ensuite toilet and shower for convenience and accessibility, and the rooms are also fitted with TV and telephone points.

Food is prepared daily; residents are provided with three nutritious, tasty meals a day from our varied menu. These tasty meals are created by our dedicated, professional chefs who make sure residents’ nutritional needs are met.

The garden is a beautiful space for residents to relax and socialise in.

The garden is wheelchair-accessible, too, so each of our residents can enjoy it.

Regulation Reports

Inspections are carried out at intervals determined by the Care Quality Inspectorate. After each inspection, homes are provided with a report, a rating and usually some recommendations to help develop or improve the service. Any recommendations are acted upon promptly. No matter home’s rating, it’s well worth having a chat with our team to get the latest information on every aspect of our care and service. We’re always happy to talk through any questions you might have.

Visiting Times & Parking

We are allowing visits in line with current Government guidance.

A message from the care home manager Paulina Drzewiecka

Response to CQC report. Published 03 February 2020.

We are writing to share with you our response and actions following the last CQC inspection report. During the inspection there were many positive areas identified. However, for the purpose of this statement we have focused on the action taken in response to some findings that identified certain areas as needing improvement.

This is to provide appropriate assurance to our residents and relatives (as well as key health and social care partners) that we take all feedback seriously to ensure a great living experience for our residents.

Actions taken to improve the service following the inspection:

  • All nurses and nursing assistants have been added to the Boots online medication training portal and all have completed said training
  • All nurses and nursing assistants have undergone a medication competency assessment – this will be reassessed annually
  • Daily medication audits are being undertaken and discussed with the home manager
  • A new variable dose medication chart has been implemented to ensure mediation is administered within the correct time scales
  • Covert administration protocols are in place for residents who need their medication administered covertly. These include information and guidance from the pharmacist
  • All nurses and nursing assistants have undergone diabetes training
  • Four-hourly oxygen check forms are in place and these are checked daily by the home manager
  • All resident care plans have been reviewed and updated to reflect current needs
  • Oral hygiene checks are now inputted electronically and are checked daily by the home manager and discussed at the daily meeting
  • Shower records are now submitted electronically and are checked daily by the home manger and discussed at the daily meeting
  • Staff are now receiving regular supervisions, and these are entered onto a supervision matrix
  • Call bells are checked daily by the home manager and discussed at the daily meeting
  • Repositioning, food and fluid charts are checked daily by the home manager and discussed at the daily meeting
  • Cream charts have reverted to paper-based for ease of tracking when applied. Charts are checked daily by the home manager and discussed at the daily meeting

Owlett Hall has an internal support team on hand to individually support the home in delivering the highest quality resident experience. A range of audits take place at home, regional and corporate level to ensure additional quality assurance.

Since the inspection the home has received a Internal Quality Audit review and a review from Leeds City Council and Clinical Commissioning Group.  Both these reviews highlighted significant improvements since the CQC inspection.

Below are a few examples of how the home has provided life enrichment and activities for the residents:

  • ‘Pub games night’ held where the residents were involved in the organisation as well as participation
  • Knitting club set up and run by one of our residents
  • Poppy and Remembrance Day wreath making, using the bottoms of plastic bottles as the poppies. Residents have enjoyed making these and the activity generated conversations about what Remembrance Day means to them

Below are a couple of examples of recent feedback we have received:

  • “Thank you so much for the monthly newsletter. This made it all the way to Australia and was very informative of life at Owlett Hall. Nice to be able to WhatsApp mum”
  • “Nice to receive the newsletter. Pleased to hear mum is getting better and socialising more”
  • “(Name removed) did a lovely thing for mum.  Her teddy bear was sick and (name removed) took it to the nurse to be checked over and brought it back to mum and said all was well. Really reassured mum.”

If you would like to know more about the great things that are happening at Owlett Hall, please contact us.

The Uplands Care Home https://antelopeestates.co.uk/properties/the-uplands-care-home/ https://antelopeestates.co.uk/properties/the-uplands-care-home/#respond Tue, 16 Jan 2024 11:28:29 +0000 https://bondcare.co.uk/properties/the-uplands-care-home-2/ About The Uplands Care Home 

The Uplands Care Home with nursing is a purpose-built 81-bed care home located in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Our specialist team here provides nursing care, dementia nursing care, as well as short term rehabilitation care and accommodation which supports the diagnosis and treatment of some long term conditions.

Commended by the Gold Standards Framework recognised by the Department of Health for end of life care, we are nationally recognised as a quality provider of nursing and specialist dementia care. We help residents lead full and independent lives, encouraging them to continue their hobbies and interests, while offering up some new experiences, too. We adopt a person-centred approach so your loved one is treated with dignity and compassion for a home away from home.

Types of Care

Length of Stay

  • Short term rehabilitation care
  • Day care

The Uplands care home is managed by Mary Ann Ballesteros, who heads up a team of dedicated, experienced and highly qualified carers and nurses. Each resident will be assigned a Key Worker Care Assistant to help with their individual personal and recreational needs, along with a Named Nurse who will provide support with the resident’s nursing needs. We are closely supported by Shrewsbury GPs and Shropshire’s NHS multidisciplinary team, giving you and your loved ones peace of mind during their stay with us, along with aftercare should they return home.

The Uplands is split into four units – Dorrington and Meole which offer a total of 40 nursing beds for the care of people living with dementia and dementia related illnesses, and Gough and Cory which offer nursing care for 41 people with long-term conditions.

All bedrooms in these units include a personal en-suite bathroom, with some even featuring their own beautiful patio. There are also a number of interconnecting rooms for couples staying at the care home together. Each bedroom is fully furnished with an electric profiling nursing care bed, wall-mounted flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi internet access, nurse call system and private telephone. An iPad can also be made available for residents to use, along with PCs in the learning room, for which support can be provided to those wishing to learn more about computing and how to access the internet.

For relatives looking to stay overnight, a guest room can be made available in advance of the visit depending on the current COVID-19 status of the home – our team can advise on this at the point of enquiry.

With flexible visiting times and plenty of parking, we strive to make visits from family and friends as easy as possible, so they can focus on spending some quality time with their loved ones. Most visitors choose to pop by when the reception is open from 9am to 5pm, however we can facilitate visitations out of hours by prior arrangement. We understand how important an open line of communication is to reassure carers, family and friends and put their minds at ease, which is why they can telephone us at any time, day or night, to enquire about the wellbeing of their loved ones.

Facilities

Residents have access to their own communal day rooms where they can socialise, a hair and beauty salon which offers a range of treatments, and flourishing gardens where they can go for a stroll or put their green fingers to work! There is also a sensory room for residents living with dementia to safely explore and stimulate their senses, along with a quiet contemplation and prayer room designed for residents and their family as a peaceful space of solitude.

Our talented chef creates nutritious home cooked meals that are freshly prepared on the premises using locally purchased produce. There is a rolling menu plan covering an 8-week period which includes two main choices for each meal and varies according to seasonal availability of ingredients. This menu caters for special diets and personal preferences, and the residents are welcome to suggest changes at any time. 

Activities

We strongly believe that a care home should not isolate residents from the outside world, which is why our ‘Oomph’ activities coordinators provide a programme of activities and trips specially developed to support those we care for, including bingo, baking, arts and crafts, line dancing, theatre trips and tea at local garden centres.

We take an active role in the local community, building close relationships with other local health and charitable organisations, arts projects, and development programmes. We welcome volunteers into our care home to interact with our residents by reading with them, taking part in group activities or having a one on one chat over a cup of tea. We believe that this support and socialisation is invaluable for our residents, particularly those with reduced mobility. 

Contact us

For further information about The Uplands and the facilities on offer here, please contact one of our team today to discuss your enquiry or to arrange a visit.
