Uplands Nursing Home

Uplands Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care to up to 38 people, with 25 residents at the time of inspection. The home implemented thoughtful measures to support people during the pandemic, accommodating new arrivals in rooms where window visits could occur, allowing residents to maintain relationships safely while settling in. Staff assigned specific carers to support people who had tested positive for COVID-19, and the senior housekeeper developed detailed cleaning schedules to help prevent infection spread.

The home created individual visiting risk assessments and care plans considering each person's needs for future visits. Staff were observed correctly using personal protective equipment in line with current guidance, demonstrating their understanding of infection control procedures.
