Questions families ask
Do they recommend booking before viewing the care home?
Yes. They strongly recommend pre-booking so someone is available to show visitors around and provide information for an informed decision.
Can residents bring their own furniture to personalise their room?
Yes. They welcome small furniture such as a favourite armchair and personal items including photographs. Electrical items undergo PAT testing and furniture receives a fire risk assessment.
Do they provide specialist dementia care for complex conditions?
Yes. They specialise in dementia care and support for residents with complex conditions, including specialist dementia care recognised by the Gold Standards Framework.
What activities and trips are available for residents?
Each home offers its own activities and schedules. They also arrange trips where possible, so availability depends on the individual home.
How much does The Uplands at Oxon cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Uplands at Oxon for its weekly fee. As a guide, Shropshire council paid on average £1,223 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
