My father was moved to Kahala Court after a short but life changing illness. The staff were always very cheerful and accommodating with his requests. Whenever we visited any members of the team we met were always very helpful, informative and only too pleased to have a chat with us, making us feel that
we were included in the care dad was receiving.

Reply from Nikki Rogers, Owner at Kahala Court

Thank you for the review and feedback for the team. This is so important for our continuous improvement of the home and service which we provide. It is warming for us to know that you felt included in the care that your lovely dad received whilst with us.Best wishes, The Manager and the team at Kahala Court

Having visited my old friend for a long time now, I am always so impressed by Kahala Court. The staff are always so caring and cheerful and the management excellent. It is wonderful to know that my friend and the other residents are looked after so well - nothing seems to be too much trouble for any

Our experience with Kahala Court has been extremely good. From the moment we walked in with my mother, we felt a sense of warmth and genuine care. My mother was always clean, comfortable, respected and well taken care of. The carers are very kind and patient and tried to form a meaningful connection
with my mother despite her extensive dementia. Her immobility meant she required full nursing care, which was always done to the highest standard. The home is clean, well maintained and a welcoming environment. We are very grateful for the dedication of the entire team right until Mum's dignified death. We highly recommend Kahala.

Reply from Nikki Rogers, Owner at Kahala Court

Thank you for your review, we strive to give the best level of care particularly during the end of life stage. Your mum will be sorely missed by us all and we feel privileged to have cared for her and supported you as a family at a difficult time.Best wishes, the team at Kahala Court

Kahala is excellent. The care staff are very caring, helpful and friendly to the residents. The management do an excellent job and are always involved and always very willing to engage.
Kahala runs smoothly, it is clean, well looked after and cozy. Sometimes the TV and music is too noisy for the residents
and visitors. Overall excellent. I would recommend it.

My mother was a resident at Kahala Court fort three years, and in that time the staff and management have looked after her with care & compassion. In her declining years, she was made comfortable and although she didn't take part in many of the activities provided, she at least was entertained by them!
The atmosphere in the home was always cheerful and friendly. I couldn't have asked for better care for my mother.

Our mother was a resident for over 4 years up until her recent death. She really felt as though this was her home and we as her family really appreciated the excellent care she received. This was especially apparent during the past weeks when her needs became much more demanding. The care and attention
by the staff was second to none and showed a high degree of excellence and patience. We would also like to highlight the incredible level of support and comfort shown to family members during the final weeks. We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the whole team at Kahala Court.

My husband has had a week's respite. He enjoyed his stay and was very happy with his care. I’m glad he was well cared for. I would take him there for respite again. He was extremely happy and would like to go there again.

Mum feels safe and well cared for at Kahala Court. This gives my family great peace of mind. Mum consistently praises the staff for their friendly manner, willingness to help, and caring attitude which I have also witnessed firsthand. Mum really enjoys the meals provided at Kahala which are tasty and
nutritious. They cater well to her gluten-free diet. Staff have an efficient system of medication administration.

Kahala Court is friendly, small and caring. We were very fortunate to have found a place for my mother. It was just very sad that in the end it was not for longer as she passed away there after only a couple of months at the age of 93.

My mother-in-law has been treated with great care and respect throughout her stay in Kahala Court, especially recently having lost her husband who was also at the home. The staff are like a family to the residents and this love is what makes Kahala Court such a good place to live. The management and
all the staff have kept residents safe and well and communicated with families at all stages of the pandemic. They are an exemplary team.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.829)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.829) out of 10 for Kahala Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.829 for Kahala Court is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.829

  • b) 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 Kahala Court is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
