Kingland House Residential Home

from Nigel D (Husband of Resident) published on 7 July 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at Kingland House give lots of encouragement to my wife to join in the activities. She is inclined to stay in bed and gets fed up if left to her own devices. But with the help of the staff, who were tempting her to participate, her mood has much improved. When appropriate, the staff let me
be involved with games or a quiz, which makes visiting more pleasurable for both of us. Quite often,I am offered a cup of tea and a cake, which is always welcome.

Was blown away by the welcoming by all your members of staff when we attended an Easter hunt. Everyone was so lovely, friendly and just incredible with all the residents. It made me so happy that a family member of mine is in your wonderful care. Everyone looked happy and I just felt i wanted to express
how fantastic everyone is. An absolute credit to Kingland House.

My mother has been in Kingland House for over two years, since her last care home went bankrupt. My father visits daily and I go in every fortnight. The staff I meet are all friendly and I have noticed some taking time and patience to help my mother express herself.

I am so happy with all aspects of my dad's care. I really didn't want him to go into care, but was forced to as his flat was flooded. We were made to feel so welcome by staff and nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

Kingland House Residential Home

from Elaine D (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My granddad was a resident of Kingland for almost 18 months. The care he received from the whole team was exceptional.


While he was able to he very much enjoyed the singers and chatting with the other residents.


The team ensured that his room was kept very clean and personalised.


Often

when family popped in for a visit we would find one of the team in my grandads room having a chat and making sure he was okay (mentally and physically). He loved to see the therapy dogs and other animals which would make personal visits to his room.


Most of these reviews are focused on the exceptional care given to the residents (rightly so), but I feel I must mention the support given to the families. Kingland gave us extra quality time we wouldn't of had with a cherished family member. They also have provided support after his passing to the family.


I will continue to recommend the home to anyone and everyone. The family are very grateful to the whole team.

My mum has been living at Kingland House since September 2024 following her Alzheimer's diagnosis, and the care she receives has been outstanding. She is genuinely happy, has gained weight, and more often than not has a smile on her face. Although she doesn't always fully understand the afternoon games,
the staff take the time to support her and ensure every resident feels included and able to succeed. There is a full programme of activities each day, which keeps her engaged and gives real structure to her time.
Overall, I'm incredibly grateful for the kindness, patience, and dedication shown by the whole team.

Taken in the round my sister is very happy with the care she receives and with the staff who provide it at every level. She feels that the choice of room is the right one for her. She has some limitations on her food preferences but appreciates the efforts made to meet those. She has mixed views on
aspects of the activities and entertainment; subject of course to her personal taste. She is nonetheless very impressed with the principal member of staff leading on that. I would add that we consider the staff perform a very challenging role mostly with great care and sensitivity and should be commended.

When it became too much for mum to manage at home and needed to move into care, we looked around several care homes which all seemed okay until we looked at Kingland house. A bit like buying a house, you instantly get a good feeling when you find the right one. The staff were all so welcoming and helpful,
especially Maxine. Mum settled in so much better and quicker than we expected. She has a routine and there is always something going on to keep everyone entertained from singers to activities. I would certainly recommend Kingland house to anyone needing a caring friendly home that will allow them to enjoy being themselves.

Mum has always been very happy at Kingland House. She initially went for respite care and after 10 days never wanted to go home and be alone again. She likes to sit in the lounge during the day with other residents. They often have singers or chair exercises. They also have regular visits from a specially
trained dog. The staff organise various games too which keeps Mum well entertained. Knowing she's well catered for and happy makes me happy.

Since her arrival in January, 2023 my wife has settled in very well at Kingland House and gets on well with the staff. Her aphasia means that she has difficulty in expressing her wishes, but overall she gets by with the help of the staff. I find the staff and management helpful and amenable to
suggestions.

The resident for whom we are responsible is receiving excellent care.
Previous issues with personal care have been dealt with kindly resulting in a improvement in general health.
I am impressed with how staff deal with any likes and dislikes.
Options are always carefully and clearly explained when
an action or choice is required.
The entertainment programme is varied and includes exercises.
This general environment has encouraged interaction which had previously been missing.
We are always advised of any issues which may arise.
All staff I have met and spoken to are open, helpful and caring.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I moved my wife into Kingland House I had various problems with her. This made for a 'messy' transition from my point. It was not made clear enough, to me, that I should have left her there, and not return for a few days. Had I fully understood I would have tried to comply, but realistically it
still would have been a problem.


The staff have been excellent, and I am certain that my wife will settle down soon, but I feel that I may have inadvertently caused a problem for them. For this, I apologise.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My mother has often been left in her room until late morning before being dressed and taken to the lounge. This has left her feeling very isolated and has started to regret her decision to move into the home. Whilst I appreciate there are issues about her toileting requirements I still feel that she
needs to be in the lounge earlier in the morning.


She has also made comments that although most of the staff are kind there are some, mostly male, that are not very gentle when attending her needs.


However apart rom the above comments I have always been pleased with the appearance of the home and the entertainment provided although my mother in her elderly state cannot take advantage of what is on offer.

The staff at Kingland house have gone above and beyond to support my 86 year old mother who arrived with quick onset of dementia and bed bound. She was a challenge for the team to meet her high needs but they have shown genuine care and compassion, patience and a willingness to help my mother be as
comfortable as possible at this stressful moment and stage of life. Thank you. I am utterly grateful and relieved my mum is there at this point and my father can finally look after himself at home.
