Review from Sandra C (Niece of Resident) published on 14 April 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has only been in your care a short time and she has certainly settled in very well.
She is always very happy when we visit, telling us of all the great activities the home provides.
The management and staff always go that extra mile to make sure both my aunt and her visiting family are happy.
I can't thank them enough.

Review from C B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 11 January 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandma was cared for at King's Lynn Residential Home through the last years of her life till her death in December, and I cannot be more thankful that she was in such a good, caring environment. Her dementia made her a complex patient, but every single member of staff went above and beyond in kindness
and compassion. Her wish to stay in her room was supported and respected, and I can't count how many times I visited only to find a member of staff taking time out of their hectic day to reassure and chat with her. During the pandemic, they have gone above and beyond to provide safe contact, from window visits to video calls as the rules permitted. She adored the food, and if I had to go into a care home tomorrow, I would choose to go nowhere else. From management to carers, housekeeping to handyman, kitchen staff to everyone else I've forgotten, every single person there is truly doing a hard and demanding job giving the quality of care we would all wish for. Thank you!

Who would obviously prefer to be in their own home? But, for my father-in-law, this is no longer an option so he is in the next best place. The staff in this home are amazing ... professional and caring, treating the residents as if their own family. There is also a great management team monitoring
the resident's well being and making sure everything they need is provided and standards are well maintained.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was placed in Kings Lynn Residential Home following a lengthy stay in hospital after a fall at home. After a few weeks of adjusting to these new circumstances, she has settled in well, enjoying the food (lovely) and the activities. Staff are friendly, caring and accomodating as much as they
can be.

My father had to go into respite care, he was welcomed and cared for with the utmost respect for the complete time of his visit. I was myself encouraged and assisted in supporting my father, even in this difficult time. The standard of care, food, and hygiene was matched by all levels of staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was in a previous care home and was not looked after. We moved her to Kings Lynn Residential and have seen her change, she loves it there. The staff are amazing, they have all become friends. Cannot recommend the home enough. They are so friendly, attentive and truly care about their residents.
My Mum summed it up, 'I love it here, it feels like my home'. Brilliant place.

Every time we visit, my aunt is well presented and obviously cared for. Staff are always welcoming to us and kind to my aunt. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
The home is a safe and comfortable environment, lots of activities and special touches. My children love visiting the "sweet shop" with
my aunt.
I would highly recommend this home.

Well run with caring staff.
Some rooms are very tired and need redecorating.
Big advantage is that accommodation is all on the ground floor.
Located close to the town centre and good bus routes.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.792)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.792) out of 10 for Kings Lynn Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.792 for Kings Lynn Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.792
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kings Lynn Residential Home is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
