My mother moved to Charlton Kings Care Home for respite following a bout of ill health. The need for long-term care was identified. In order to meet this need, my mother moved to another setting as she was not happy at Charlton Kings Care Home. I also felt that care staff did not give her the support
she needed during her confused episodes.

The staff at Charlton Kings cared for my mother in her final weeks with compassion and care. They were supportive to myself and my sister and when my brother and his family came to spend her last days with her. They found everybody sympathetic, professional and caring. My mother was able to die in comfort
and with dignity.

I am gratefully thankful for the care of my mother from the very first day she went into Charlton Kings care home, to the day she passed away. For the homely and loving care, ALL of the staff gave her, I am just SO glad we found this care home. It was such a homely home with such a caring atmosphere,
we couldn't fault any member of staff. So thanks again to the manager and all the wonderful staff.

We, as a family, were very pleased with the care and treatment of my mother in the 18 months she was in the care home. The staff were very caring and very respectful in every way, giving her care and support when needed. We would recommend Charlton Kings Care Home to friends and family.

A friend of mine moved to the home last year and whilst I get lots of news this is the first time I've been able to visit. In more recent years I've had occasion to visit a number of care homes and I must say that this is one of the best. The bedrooms look comfortable enough but I was full of admiration
for the staff who were cheerful and engaging. On the day I visited a whole host of children from a local school had come in to talk/help those who lived there, everyone appeared to have a great deal of fun!

My mother died peacefully in the care home on New Years Day. She had been a resident for nearly 9 years. Throughout this time she had been well looked after. The carers always treated her with respect, kindness, were always cheerful, helpful and happy to chat. We could not have asked for more.

Sometimes my aunt spends a little time at Charlton Kings Care Home when family are away. The staff always take time to make sure she is well and there always seems to be a lot going on. I find her happy and relaxed whenever she is there so keep up the good work, I think you all do a marvellous job.
If I ever need care I hope to be looked after just as well.

I could not ask for a better place for mum to spend her last years. She is treated with respect and patience by all the staff who are all genuinely caring.


The atmosphere is always welcoming. Staff and management will always take time to answer questions. The food is excellent and tailored to particular

diets. The activities are stimulating and everything is always spotlessly clean.


Mum is happy there and we are happy knowing she is safe and well in a supportive environment.

A dear friend has recently spent a few weeks at the home and despite early reservations, she really did feel at home. The staff were most attentive and it was clear that people genuinely cared. There was plenty to entertain her and she was very comfortable for the duration of her stay. I had the
opportunity to visit and was impressed by the way everyone interacted. I understand there is some refurbishment to be done and it is clear from the areas already decorated that it will be a smart place! Good luck and I hope to visit you all again at some point.

From day one of mum arriving at the care home she was welcomed and settled in very quickly. The staff have been very caring and friendly and have done their very best to make her feel at home. She has had the best possible care the family could have wished for. As mum was only at the home for respite
care whilst recovering from a broken shoulder she now feels it's time to go back to her own home and see how she manages. Thank you all for the excellent care.

BRILLIANT. I cannot fault the staff and facilities at the home. Towards the end of mum's life, the seniors care and attention was exceptional. It is clear that ALL staff see this as a vocation and not just a job, they really care. Whatever specialist care or equipment mum needed it was provided quickly.
Thank you to everyone.

Very welcoming, happy place. The staff liked each other as well as their jobs it seemed. I was very tired (rheumatoid arthritis) and in the process of moving home as well so I did appreciate good food and the relaxing atmosphere provided by them. I found some chatty residents but spent a lot of time
sleeping my in room and gathering my strength, much needed.

Just like to say, brought mum here for week's respite. The staff made mum feel at home straight away. When I went to take her home she wanted to stay longer and now she is a permanent resident. The staff and management are fantastic and make you feel very welcome on every visit. Mum loves the social
life and the activities they provide especially the singalongs.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Charlton Kings Nursing Home for a few months now, and I have found all the staff to be very friendly and kind. My mother in-law seems to have settled in very well and enjoys the activities they hold, and loves to join in the sing-alongs they have. Her room is
comfortable and fits all her needs, the dining area and lounge is a good place for her to mix with other residents and she seems to enjoy her food! It's nice to see her a lot happier and I can only put that down to the care she receives from the home! I would recommend Charlton Kings to other is they needed similar care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.786)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for Charlton Kings Care Home 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.786 for Charlton Kings Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.786

  • 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 Charlton Kings Care Home is based on 12 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 12 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.
