Dad has been a resident of Kingston House for 6 months now. He is very independant and I was worried that he would find it hard to settle. However, he has settled in better than I could ever have hoped. The staff are wonderful and kind. The food is in his words 'better than excellent' and the activities team are wodnerful and he joins with everything.
Thank you for sharing such lovely feedback about your dad's time at Kingston House.
We know how much of a change moving into a care home can be, so it's wonderful to hear that he has settled in even better than you had hoped. It's also fantastic to know he's enjoying the food, joining in with activities and feeling so at home.
Best wishes,Rosa
I feel that Mum is always listened to by the staff at Kingston House. Mum is not the most sociable of people and enjoys the quiet of her room. However, she is always encouraged to join in with the wide range of activities. Recently Mum was asked by the entertainments staff if she would like a trip...
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kingston House.
Dear TM - thank you very much for your kind words - we'll make sure they are shared with the team. Our goal is to ensure we help people feel good about care in every interaction - this applies to families as much as to residents themselves. We're glad both you and Mum could join the the outing!
They have thought about who she may get on with and sat her near them at meal times. They have made sure she has been kept busy doing quizzes, knit and natter, has been...
She has got her smile back and we can relax as she is in safe, caring hands.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, we are pleased you feel welcomed and part of our Kingston House family. We certainly feel very lucky that Mum has joined us here, with her fabulous sense of humour, she keeps us all smiling too!
Mum is well cared for as her condition is difficult.

Good, communication was not very good but is improving. Because husband cannot work often left on his own in dining room. Think sometimes he should be first dealt with, as because of his dementia (Lewy body) he imagines all sorts of things like being attacked. Also lastly is talking about standing up because he has waited long time this is dangerous as he would fall, behind the dementia he is intelligent man and will ultimately try to do it one day.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, feedback is always appreciated. I'm pleased to hear you feel communication is improving. Since my recent appointment as manager for Kingston House I have made this a priority, so it's great to hear it's proving effective. To offer some reassurance around mealtime transitions, the team regularly risk assesses the needs of all to ensure their safety at these key points in the day. I am pleased you and I have a meeting in the diary to discuss your concerns and I look forward to resolving these for you.

On discharge from hospital after a major operation, I had ten days convalescence respite at Kingston House. Without exception all the staff were kind, caring and respectful, not only to me but to all the residents they dealt with. I felt that nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The food was brilliant- good home cooked food every day. There was a choice of food at every meal and even extra snacks and drinks were available. Special food requests were met if at all possible. My room was good and one or two initial omissions were very soon put right. I would thoroughly recommend Kingstone House.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback which I have shared with all the staff. We thoroughly enjoyed having you stay with us and have all missed chatting with you each day. You are always welcome here at Kingston House and we hope to see you again.
My cousin was extremely well cared for in the time that she was a resident. I live in Australia and only saw her a couple of times, but when I phoned, they always were able to bring her to the phone. Problem in having a response from the manager at the time, but the workers were excellent.

Thank you so much for your comments. As the new Manager of Kingston House, my focus is to ensure we maintain good communications with everyone. I shall share your comments with the staff who will be extremely happy to receive such well-deserved praise.
I am very pleased with the care and attention that the staff of Kingston House provide for my father. They are welcoming when I visit and contact me whenever my father has any requirements and to keep me informed of any issues that arise.

I am very pleased with the attention my sister got at Kingston House. The staff were uniformly friendly, considerate and helpful. I was able to visit whenever I wanted and always found my sister well looked after, even in difficult circumstances. On one occasion four members of staff were helping her change her bedding. They could not know I was approaching the room. I was impressed by the quiet and thoughtful way they were treating my sister - they could not have been more considedrate. When arranging her funeral service I asked for donations to Greensleeves Care, and some of her friends have told me that they have contributed. I passed on a cheque for £50 myself. I had no reservations about Kingston House and really cannot commend the staff there too much.
Thank you very much for your lovely review of Kingston House, we have shared this with the team.

My wife has Alzheimer's and has been a resident of Kingston House for 12 months. I visit her several times a week as I live close by. The staff keep her clean and well-dressed. Her food and medicines are regularly provided and monitored. The staff are kind and respectful in dealing with her, and the other residents. Separate staff provide daily activities. Overall I feel they meet my wife's needs and provide the right amount of support.
Thank you for this lovely review, we will make sure it is shared with all the staff.
Kingston House has been a wonderful place for my father since January 2024 when we needed care for him. The staff are extremely helpful and welcoming, with total peace of mind that he is being looked after and all his needs met.

My father was a resident of Kingston House for a year, from December 2022 to December 2023. He was always treated with great care, kindness and respect. The staff quickly recognised that humour was a way of encouraging him to engage with them and to participate in the regular activities. He especially enjoyed visits from animals as he was brought up on a farm. We will always be grateful for the care he received and for the staff who went above and beyond to help him. Thank you.

My mum has been at Kingston House since July 2023 and her physical condition has improved considerably in that time. I’m sure she is very challenging at times but the staff are always very kind and patient with her and always keep me informed of any concerns with her health or behaviour. They are always on top of her needs and have managed to get her joining in with activities which she has always refused before. She has moved rooms a couple of times which has always been in her best interests. Recently it has become difficult when I try to leave and they have been fantastic at distracting my mum and making sure she has the minimal amount of distress.
Thank you for your lovely review, I will share this with the team.

Mum was trying out care homes with a view to a permanent placement. As part of this, she went into Kingston. During the two-week respite care, all of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. She was made to feel very welcomed and enjoyed all of the activities provided. Her room was lovely. The food was provided to suit her dietary needs. The only thing she didn't like was the lift, which she felt was very small and dark but, because of the nature of the building, could not be larger.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I will be sure to share this with the team.
In January 2023, Mum got very ill and had to go to hospital. On her return to Kingston House, she had more needs as regards her care and the home made sure that they put...

Although my role is generally to support on trips out, these trips are part of a wide and varied activity programme that the home offers its residents.

Thank you for your lovely feedback, and thank you for your support as a volunteer in the home.
I have previous knowledge of Kingston House from when, a couple of years ago, as a lay pastoral assistant, I and another LPA took fortnightly Holy Communion to those residents who requested it. I have always found the home to be efficient, well-run and secure and the residents I met all seemed to...

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. We will certainly look into if there is anything more we can do with the doors. Thank you again for your review.
Our friend came to Kingston House in October and has settled so well because of the input of the excellent staff. Health issues have been addressed and there is an ongoing commitment to improve her eating, which had become a serious cause for concern whilst she still lived in her own home. Her...

I’ve worked in care for 30+ years in a variety of settings and roles, I’ve been at Kingston House for one year and this is my first role as in activities. I love my job, and enjoy spending time with the residents getting to know them. Learning about their likes and dislikes, supporting and enabling them to do the things they enjoy. I love finding new ideas to engage residents in and improve their quality of life.
