Upton Dene is a stunning flagship care home positioned in a residential area alongside the Countess of Chester Hospital in Cheshire.
Three-miles outside the centre of Chester, our care home is a short drive from all the shops, cafés, pubs, library and other attractions the city has to offer.
Our dedicated team provide a range of care and support for residents, including residential care, dementia care, nursing care, palliative care and respite care.
Upton Dene has been designed to have all the luxuries you’d expect, with light and airy lounge and dining areas, which are beautifully decorated and furnished, a cinema room complete with a projector and cinema-style seating and spacious bedrooms with en-suite wet rooms, which provides a warm place for residents to rest and relax.
The care home also has tranquil sensory gardens and a hairdressing salon where residents can enjoy being pampered with beauty treatments.
