Uplands

Established by the local community in 1998, Uplands is committed to providing good day care for older people in a friendly setting.  This care and support helps people to continue to live independently, improves quality of life and gives respite to carers and families.

Our team are experienced in caring for people with a wide range of conditions; those living with dementia, Parkinson’s or cardiac and respiratory conditions and those recuperating after a stroke or hospital visit.  If guests require medication during the day our trained staff are able to assist with or administer medication as required.

The days at Uplands follow a familiar pattern but everything is flexible in response to the needs and wishes of our guests.

All are welcome at Uplands, irrespective of guest’s religious beliefs, sexual orientation or ethnicity.

Our programme of activities is key in the care and well-being of our guests.  We enjoy providing a wide range of options and finding relevant and stimulating activities which can include;

We provide a freshly prepared and nutritious two-course lunch and cater for all dietary requirements and preferences.  Refreshments are also offered throughout the day. We enjoy making meals a sociable and relaxed occasion.

On Wednesdays we offer appointments for an assisted bathing service.  Our trained staff use our modern bathing facilities to offer dignified and relaxed bathing for guests.

Please contact Hayley or one of the team to make an appointment.

As a charity we are able to offer very competitive rates. The day session rate includes a hot two course lunch.  Our Assisted bathing service is charged for separately. For up to date charges please contact Hayley and the team.

Come and visit us to get an immediate feel for the warm, happy and relaxed atmosphere at Uplands. You are welcome to join us for a coffee, meet Hayley and the team and find out more.  If it is difficult to visit us, we are happy to come and visit you.

Our staff carry out an assessment before guests attend to ensure a thorough understanding of their needs. It also guides which days would be best suited for visits.

The centre is on the corner of Springfield Road and Upper Springfield Road.  From Slad Road turn up the hill at The Fountain Inn, past the Post Office (do not turn right into the cul-de-sac leading to the church).  Shortly afterwards the Centre appears on your right where the road divides.

In Stroud a monthly calendar is produced listing a wide variety of events and activities which may be of interest to older people.  To download a copy please press the button below.
