Kingsley Court Residential Home is a detached residence of character, providing spacious accommodation for eighteen residents, and is situated on the Dorchester Road in Weymouth. The home has ample car parking on the forecourt and at the rear they have an attractive ‘sun trap’ garden for the residents use.

The Home is close to the Post Office and shops at Lodmoor, and Greenhill Gardens which overlook the sea are only a few minutes walk away. A Church of England and Catholic Church are close by.

They uphold the following key principles, namely Privacy, Dignity, Independence, Choice, Rights and Fulfilment, and seek to uphold the Code of Conduct of the General Social Care Council, a copy of which is available on request.

The aim is to provide a loving and comfortable home environment for people who feel unable or do not wish to live on their own any longer. They encourage their resident’s independence, but link this with responsible help whether it is in the form of advice, counselling or personal care to the degree required by each resident by day and by night.

Review from Jane G (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mother dreaded going into a home but was medically unfit to stay at home. The home she is in cannot be faulted. I looked at seven others and this one appealed immediately. I have visited over the last two years at all times of day and there has never been one thing wrong. It is kept clean, no smell,

food excellent and all the staff and management are kind, cheery and efficient. I would be more than happy if I eventually end up there. I recommend it most highly. I also have very high standards.

Review from J B (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

I feel very comfortable and welcome when entering Kingsley Court. The atmosphere is friendly and homely. I feel at ease to ask questions that are answered and I am kept informed. I feel my mother is very well looked after and cared for by all the staff and management and is a team effort that works

well together to deliver a warm, welcoming, friendly, homely, safe and cared for environment for all its residents and families.

Review from Christine W (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report

The staff are extremely caring and supportive, nothing is too much trouble. The management ethos of putting the residents and staff at the heart of everything they do is reflected throughout the care they provide. A warm and hospitable welcome to all visitors further endorses confidence in the home.
This

has all helped my mother to settle in during a very difficult time with the challenges that giving up her independence and home entails and we as a family, have confidence in the care that she is being given.
