I was ill when I came to Kahala a week before xmas, my sister is already a resident. The manager and staff have been absolutely wonderful and helped me to get well and do everything they possibly can to create a wonderful, homely atmosphere, so creating a lovely place to live. I'm very happy to be where
nothing is too much for the staff. I'm very grateful.

I have been privileged to visit Kahala Court Care Home ever since its beginning, possibly 30 years. I visit friends. Also, I go for the months C of E service, and sometimes take part. Also a man from Baptist Church and I did a monthly service when there wasn't a C of E one. The former is Thursday morning,
the latter was Sunday afternoon. Last year, a close friend was cared for into her 100th year! Another elderly mother of a friend I visited. After she passed, her daughter thanked Kahala in the local paper. At Kahala, they have activities, like exercises! A hairdresser goes every Tuesday. It is such a lovely setting, with trees and a lot of brightness.

My mother lived at Kahala Court for nearly four years. When she first moved into the home she was still able to enjoy a social life with the other residents and staff. She loved being in the communal sitting room and she benefitted greatly from the company of her friends at the home. But her dementia
progressed over time so that by the end she was bed bound and completely dependent on the staff. Throughout her stay, and during each stage of her decline, the staff at Kahala Court were always professional, patient, caring and supportive - to me as well as to my mother! I cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness and dedication.

It's never easy when a loved one goes into care and you hope that all will be okay. My friend has been in Kahala court for nearly three years and on the whole the care has been pretty good.
However, in recent months the new manager has taken the level of care up another notch. Improvements such
as a wonderful notice board with lots of info about forthcoming events, lunch menu, birthdays and anything else of interest. A nice welcoming reception signing in area with always a beautiful display of silk flowers.


Staff seem more attentive than ever and I know they sometimes have to work under challenging circumstances.


Most recently, the new manager has organised a min- bus to take some of the residents out for a walk along the beach and fish and chip lunch. It doesn't get much better than that and my friend is thrilled to be going. Well done, thank you and keep up the good work.

My husband, who is immobile, stayed at Kahala Court for short term care whilst attending our daughter's wedding nearby. He had a warm welcome and the staff were very kind and caring; the home had a very friendly atmosphere and was spotlessly clean.The staff did everything they could to help him and
to accommodate our comings and goings. He did not spend much of the day at the home and he had a small room, but the staff did their best to manage in this space.
I would like to extend my thanks to the manager and her team for ensuring that, despite his disabilities, my husband could participate in this special occasion.

My mother spent her last few months at Kahala.We could not have asked for a more dedicated team of carers. They were wonderfully kind ,perceptive and understanding of her deteriorating condition. Her end of life care was exceptional.As a family we were all beautifully looked after. All the staff were
fabulous but special thanks to three staff members in particular.

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.

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.

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

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.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Kahala Court 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.797 for Kahala Court is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.797
  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 Kahala Court is based on 20 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 20 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.
