This is the second time my mother in law has been to Kingsmead for respite. She is always extremely happy to come but sad to leave. Such a clean and friendly care home where nothing is too much trouble. Looking forward to her next stay at Christmas.

My mother has been a resident for nearly a year. Generally, her experience has been positive. There will always be times when she is happier than others. Carers are usually very caring, but I personally feel one or two are in the wrong job. Overall the care is very good.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Kingsmead has a robust recruitment process which is followed by all new staff. Please be reassured that when issues are brought to the manager's attention, these are dealt with.

I can't recommend Kingsmead Care Home enough. My Dad has been there since February and all the staff is professional, expert, friendly, but most of all incredibly kind. I feel that they genuinely care about him and do all they can to make his life as good as possible. We are so grateful that the care home has been happy to do the extra work and logistics to allow garden visits too. A huge thank you to the whole team.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely positive review. I will certainly share with my amazing team. Your support as a family is always appreciated too, thank you.

The staff at Kingsmead have been amazing at caring for my father during this difficult time. They have treated him with great care and respect, ensuring his health conditions are well managed and informing us of any update to his care when required. They have done their utmost to keep the residents entertained and connected to the family, arranging FaceTime calls and spending time with him while he was confined to bed, printing off photos we had sent so he could have them in his room and generally keeping his spirits up. It was a great joy to be able to see him on his 93rd birthday, it made his day to see us! It is a true testament to the dedication of all the staff that they have had no cases of COVID-19 in the home. They are an amazing group of dedicated and genuinely caring people. They are my heroes.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review, which I will certainly share with my incredible team. May I take this opportunity to thank you for all of your support too.
In relation to my mother, she went to Kingsmead for her first respite, she liked it that much she would like to go there full time.

Over the (almost) three years I have visited two sisters on mostly two visits weekly. I have witnessed kindness plus good care towards the residents of Kingsmead Care Home over this period from staff employed there.

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.
