Professional 24/7 nursing and dementia care at Abbey Uplands
Care shaped around comfort, dignity, and confidence.

No. Abbey Uplands Care Home is registered for 24-hour nursing care, not standard residential care. All of our residents benefit from regular clinical oversight and professional nursing support, which is suitable for those with more complex or changing medical needs.

If your loved one requires regular medical attention, specialized injections, clinical monitoring, complex wound care, or has progressive conditions like advanced Parkinson's, severe stroke effects, or COPD, nursing care is the correct choice. Our home manager and clinical team can provide a free pre-admission assessment to help clarify your needs.

We accept self-funding, local authority funding (with or without top-up), and NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC). Self-funding fees start from £1,500 per week. Eligible residents requiring nursing care may also receive NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC), worth £267.68 per week, paid directly by the NHS towards their care.

Yes, absolutely. We strongly encourage all residents to bring their own small items of furniture, photos, paintings, and mementos to make their room feel familiar and comfortable from day one.
