Review from S W (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 7 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was the third time we have chosen Kingsmount for my Nan, after a bad experience at another home. Before she even arrived we knew it was a much better establishment as a home visit was conducted and paperwork completed. During her stays, my Nan is always happy, clean and well fed and any problems
are addressed quickly. The staff are very welcoming and professional. I would highly recommend this home and when the time comes for my Nan to need to be in a home permanently I have no doubts this is the best place for her. Thank you Kingsmount.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Management clearly excellent! Fantastically run home - faultless!
Staff all amazing - constantly working very hard - all very conscientious in everything they do. Very respectful of their employers and their appreciated working conditions - this is reflected in the staff's outward friendliness and
welcome every time I visit.
My mum is kept safe, warm, well fed, clean and happy.
The personal and individual care given to each resident is second to none - really kind, genuine, respectful and caring to a really high level. Staff interact and spend time as required and over and above. Residents are treated with respect and dignity.
Excellent rooms and facilities, spotlessly clean! Thoughtful regular activities. An amazing, fantastic, happy home.
Reply from Tori Gray, Operations Manager at Kingsmount Residential Home

Review from Trevor B (Brother of Resident) published on 7 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister spent her last 9 months at Kingsmount and they were the happiest since her husband passed away. The home made every effort to make her happy.
Friendly, compassionate, helpful and kind, words are not enough to explain how grateful we are to them. Even at her passing, they were there to support
us. It goes to show that with all the poor reports about residential homes, there are still some to whom excellence comes as standard.

Kingsmount perhaps could do with a lick of paint but the residents are all happy and the staff care is excellent.
The food is also of a high standard and generous portions.

I thought the amount of kindness and care shown to my mother and family from all levels of staff was 5-star. Even when the staff was busy, they always make time to speak and make a hot drink - served with biscuits or cake.

My wife was in care and was looked after by the staff she couldn't have asked for anything more, morning and night it was like being in a hotel. They were excellent could not have asked for more, anything she wanted they did it for her. I will recommend Kingsmount Residential Home to anyone they can
not go wrong it is the best one.
Reply from Tori Addy, Operations Manager at Kingsmount Residential Home

Review from Margaret P (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
When I visit my father the staff are cheerful and welcoming and give me information re his condition and well-being. The food he is offered is appropriate (soft diet) Drinks plentiful. He is clean and comfortable. He does not always cooperate with showering, dressing and going into the lounge but the
staff try to encourage him. He has Alzheimer's and can be awkward and abusive at times. The staff remain cheerful. When he is cooperative he is funny and cheerful and the staff joke with him. In their brochure the home advertises "days out" but this hasn't happened in 18 months. I have taken him out when possible.

I feel that my grandmother is well looked after. I work in the care industry so am aware of people's needs and I feel the home meets my grandmother's needs. Any concerns I am informed.

Kingsmount from the very beginning were very caring they did a personal care plan. They are very attentive. They listen to anything and everything however small and if need be act on it.
I have no complaints at all in my husbands care. He has settled in and is relaxed and calm and I can't speak highly
enough of the management and staff. To my mind Kingsmount is a really caring home.

Kingsmount is a special place. It always seems to be a calm and relaxed atmosphere, despite the challenge which the care team encounter my mum is looked after very well, by kind and supportive carers. Everyone is treated as an individual and given a lot of time and attention. All in all this is a great
example of how a care home should operate. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Kingsmount Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.700 for Kingsmount Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 243 Ratings = 4.7
  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 Kingsmount Residential Home is based on 21 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 21 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.
