Review from Nicholas K (Brother of Resident) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Taken in the round my sister is very happy with the care she receives and with the staff who provide it at every level. She feels that the choice of room is the right one for her. She has some limitations on her food preferences but appreciates the efforts made to meet those. She has mixed views on

aspects of the activities and entertainment; subject of course to her personal taste. She is nonetheless very impressed with the principal member of staff leading on that.

Review from C O (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum has always been very happy at Kingland House. She initially went for respite care and after 10 days never wanted to go home and be alone again. She likes to sit in the lounge during the day with other residents. They often have singers or chair exercises. They also have regular visits from a specially

trained dog. The staff organise various games too which keeps Mum well entertained. Knowing she's well catered for and happy makes me happy.

Overall Experience

Since her arrival in January, 2023 my wife has settled in very well at Kingland House and gets on well with the staff. Her aphasia means that she has difficulty in expressing her wishes, but overall she gets by with the help of the staff. I find the staff and management helpful and amenable to

suggestions.

Review from Nigel D (Husband of Resident) published on 24 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My wife has been a resident since October 2022. The staff have always treated her as an individual and not just another resident. They have tailored her care to meet the changes in her needs and wants as time has passed. Judith is considerably more content than she was prior to her time in Kingland

House. Her physical health is closely monitored and there is good liaison between the staff, senior carers and the local NHS services. Her mental wellbeing is always considered when meeting her day to day anxieties and concerns. All of the staff that I have encountered have been willing to talk to me about any concerns of mine and I am frequently given updates regarding my wife's care.
Despite the inevitable pressures and work load of the staff, they always find time for positive and cheerful interaction with my wife and other residents.
I am always made to feel welcome at Kingland House and the staff and manager have gone to a lot of effort to accommodate my wishes.

Overall Experience

The resident for whom we are responsible is receiving excellent care.
Previous issues with personal care have been dealt with kindly resulting in a improvement in general health.
I am impressed with how staff deal with any likes and dislikes.
Options are always carefully and clearly explained when

an action or choice is required.
The entertainment programme is varied and includes exercises.
This general environment has encouraged interaction which had previously been missing.
We are always advised of any issues which may arise.
All staff I have met and spoken to are open, helpful and caring.

Review from George M (Husband of Resident) published on 24 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

When I moved my wife into Kingland House I had various problems with her. This made for a 'messy' transition from my point. It was not made clear enough, to me, that I should have left her there, and not return for a few days. Had I fully understood I would have tried to comply, but realistically it

still would have been a problem.

The staff have been excellent, and I am certain that my wife will settle down soon, but I feel that I may have inadvertently caused a problem for them. For this, I apologise.

Review from John C (Son of Resident) published on 13 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has often been left in her room until late morning before being dressed and taken to the lounge. This has left her feeling very isolated and has started to regret her decision to move into the home. Whilst I appreciate there are issues about her toileting requirements I still feel that she

needs to be in the lounge earlier in the morning.

She has also made comments that although most of the staff are kind there are some, mostly male, that are not very gentle when attending her needs.

However apart rom the above comments I have always been pleased with the appearance of the home and the entertainment provided although my mother in her elderly state cannot take advantage of what is on offer.

Overall Experience

The staff at Kingland house have gone above and beyond to support my 86 year old mother who arrived with quick onset of dementia and bed bound. She was a challenge for the team to meet her high needs but they have shown genuine care and compassion, patience and a willingness to help my mother be as

comfortable as possible at this stressful moment and stage of life. Thank you. I am utterly grateful and relieved my mum is there at this point and my father can finally look after himself at home.

Overall Experience

My dad is happy and well looked after by the continuing care and support received by the staff on every level. I cannot express enough how the kindness and support that the staff give my Dad makes such a difference to his overall mental and physical health. Despite having a number of health issues that

are debilitating and progressive, he looks better than before he became a resident 18 months ago. Most importantly, he is settled and happier, and feels safe and comfortable. Thank you, everyone, for making this happen, and giving back some quality of life to Dad.

Review from Elaine D (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 24 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Unfortunately due to a life-changing illness, my grandfather is no longer able to live independently at home. It was a difficult decision to find a care home for him, but I can't fault Kingland House at all. They have done everything possible to encourage my granddad to join in with the many varied

activities and the room he has is kept immaculately clean. The staff area is always friendly, smiling and very welcoming. I honestly can say I have peace of mind that he is being well cared for and it's nice to see all the photos etc. on the social media channels. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home whether it's for rest bite or on a more permanent basis. The location of the home is perfect for a walk to the park or into town.
