Morning. I used to visit my dear friend Margaret at Kingsmead and was warmly welcomed and she seemed well cared for. Unfortunately now I seemed to have found myself in the same situation residing in a care home, and I can only compare the two. I wish I lived in Swindon so Kingsmead was an option for me. Everyone was so welcoming, and it had a calm, quiet atmosphere. Thank you. Mandy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful feedback that I will share with the whole team.
My Mother has received very good care since she moved to Kingsmead in autumn 2022. She is bed bound, very deaf and quite cantankerous. Through all this the carers and management have built and maintained good relations with her.

We found the staff at Kingsmead Care Home warm, friendly and accommodating, they cared for my mother very well and tended to her needs. They would always make us feel welcome when we visited, and overall it was a warm and comforting experience.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Mum was much loved by the whole team and it was a privilege to care for her.
Kingsmead...
Kingsmead Care Home was very homely, and the staff cared for my Mum with love, patience, and respect. I visited most days and always felt welcome, no matter what time of day I went. I found it very touching to often see members of staff, visiting mum at the end of their shift.
There was a varied programme of entertainment, activities, and trips to keep the residents stimulated. Mum especially enjoyed the singing entertainment and loved to dance to the music. We were kept well informed of all events and encouraged to go along and join in.
I personally miss going to Kingsmead as I got to know the friendly staff and other residents too. I would not hesitate to recommend Kingsmead to anyone.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you have been pleased with the care and attention provided to your mum during her stay at Kingsmead. It was an honour to care for your mum during her stay with us.

Thank you for taking a moment to leave us an incredibly positive review. It was a honour to care for your mum during her stay with us.
Compliments to the staff and management for their care and compassion towards mum in her final few months.
We could not have asked for better care and mum loved being there and loved the friendliness of all the staff and management. Mum was treated with respect and great care.

My sister has been resident in Kingsmead for almost six years, and though there have been three changes of management during this time, my sister has been nursed with consistent care and expertise. Though physically unable to participate in the activities of the home, I find in every visit, a happy atmosphere and always something planned for those able to participate. Communication from the care and nursing staff is always good, and I have no hesitation in recommending Kingsmead as a well-run, professional establishment.

Me and my mother (who also has the start of Dementia) came to see her best friend. I was so surprised on how wonderful the staff were and how they truly care so much for their patients. I was that impressed that if ever one day I need to place one of my loved ones into a care home this place will definitely be the one. I have been to other care homes in Swindon and this by far is one of the best in Swindon area.

My father was very well looked after at Kingsmead. He was treated with dignity and respect - even when he was doing things that were not the easiest to deal with. The staff ensured that my Dad had what he needed and went out of their way to make him comfortable. They were even able to provide bespoke meals to him when eating became more difficult. I always received a warm welcome from the staff when I visited, and overall the care has been excellent. Thank you to everyone at Kingsmead.
I feel so comfortable going back to Spain, after moving my father to Kingsmead for palliative care. The staff were reassuring, and I could tell by the atmosphere at the home, they were very caring. They look time to find out what was important to my dad. I'm back after a week and found that, my...
I feel so comfortable going back to Spain, after moving my father to Kingsmead for palliative care. The staff were reassuring, and I could tell by the atmosphere at the home, they were very caring. They look time to find out what was important to my dad. I'm back after a week and found that, my initial thoughts have all been proved correct. I could not wish for better at this end of life stage for my father.

Das has been well cared for since being looked after by Kingsmead Care Home from August 2024. He had dementia and is unable to care for himself. The team at Kingsmead provide an excellent care package and are willing to go an 'extra mile' to ensure he has the best possible care for his condition. The staff always have a smile even when he is pushing them away even though he needs their support. They understand his needs and are professional, supportive and above all very patient with him and his care.

I come up regularly to see my mum and always get a good welcome from all staff. I see all the activities on social media. I think they do a brilliant job the activities staff. Some of the videos are so funny and they get all residents joining in. I know my mum especially likes to go swimming. Keep up the good work as you all do a brilliant job.
I found the staff to be very friendly and always on hand to help. My mother-in-law is very happy in the care home and loving all the activities in which she joins in, even singing and dancing herself. Overall the care is excellent.

There's always has so much going on for the residents.
Everyone is always super helpful but I what stands out the most to me in the activities. There is always something for the residents to do, especially in the run up to Christmas they have a whole selection of things to get up to.
Well done to the team.
Thank you for your review, we'll share your lovely comments with our team.
My late sister's husband (my brother-in-law) entered Kingsmead very reluctantly in April 2019 for a trial of two weeks to see if he liked it. After the first week, he asked when he could go home but at the end of the trial period with the help and attention he received from the staff he had...
My late sister's husband (my brother-in-law) entered Kingsmead very reluctantly in April 2019 for a trial of two weeks to see if he liked it. After the first week, he asked when he could go home but at the end of the trial period with the help and attention he received from the staff he had settled. So the next four years until his passing on April 27 2024 he was surrounded by residents and staff that made his final years a real joy so I cannot speak highly enough of the care and attention he received.
Thank you for writing such a positive review, it is much appreciated. I will share your kind words with my amazing team.

I love the strong family feel in the home, where we work as a team and take pride in seeing our residents thrive. Getting to know each person well and making sure they feel truly looked after is always my priority, and I try to bring a happy, positive energy every day. I’ve completed a Level 2 Apprenticeship in Adult Care, along with training such as Singing for the Brain with the Alzheimer’s Society, the Love to Move exercise programme, and a NAPA Level 2 activities course, all of which help me support residents in meaningful and engaging ways.

With over 27 years of experience as a chef in both restaurants and care homes, I hold a degree in hospitality and love cooking for the residents. I enjoy interacting with them, listening to their feedback, and making sure meals are tailored to their preferences and dietary needs. I work closely with the nursing team to ensure every resident receives the right food in a way that feels like home.

I have NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Health and Social Care, along with experience supporting people living with dementia.

I have NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Health and Social Care, along with experience supporting people living with dementia.
I love spending time getting to know our residents and learning about their lives, interests and the things that are important to them. This helps me plan activities and experiences that people genuinely enjoy and look forward to.
The best part of my job is building relationships with residents and hearing their amazing life stories. If I've made someone smile by the end of the day, then it's been a good day for both of us.

I enjoy being creative in decorating and improving the environment around the home, helping to make it a welcoming and lovely place for our residents to live. It’s rewarding to use my skills to maintain and enhance the spaces they spend time in every day. I take pride in looking after the gardens and keeping everything in good repair, so residents can feel comfortable, safe, and proud of their home. With 12 years of experience in construction and maintenance, I bring practical knowledge and a strong attention to detail to ensure the home is always well cared for.
