About The Uplands at Oxon
Here at The Uplands at Oxon, we provide nursing home care for people in Shrewsbury and the wider Shropshire area. We are proud to have been rated Good by the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our whole team puts in day to day to ensure the people living here feel safe, comfortable and well looked after. We care for older people, those living with dementia, individuals with physical disabilities and younger adults who require nursing level support. We also offer respite stays for those who need a short period of care, whether that is to recover after a hospital admission or to give a family carer some time to rest. Nursing care sits at the heart of what we do. Our nursing staff are on hand around the clock, meaning residents and their families can feel confident that clinical needs are met promptly and attentively. For those living with dementia, we understand how important familiarity and calm, consistent routines are, and we work hard to create an environment that feels reassuring rather than clinical. We also recognise that moving into a nursing home, or supporting a loved one through that process, can feel daunting. We try to make that transition as straightforward as possible by listening carefully, answering questions honestly and involving families as much as they would like to be. Life here is shaped around the individual. We take time to understand each person's background, preferences and routines so that care feels personal rather than generic. Whether someone is with us for a short stay or has made The Uplands at Oxon their long term home, we want them to feel genuinely settled and respected. If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, please do get in touch. We would be glad to welcome you.
