Review from Debbie I (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Dad was at the Kenrick centre for three months and my Mum was there for seven months.The care was excellent on both the emergency assessment unit and the residential unit.Both parents were sad to have to leave.
I would be very happy for both parents to stay there permanently.
The staff were very
caring and pleasant.Communication with me was always good, I felt that they were safe there.
The building is very practical, clean and comfortable.The surrounding park and gardens are beautiful which make it a lovely place to live if you can't be at home.

Review from B D (Niece of Resident) published on 8 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has been a resident here for approximately four years. She is very well cared for.
The staff are always welcoming to visitors and the place is always very very clean.
My aunt is encouraged to mobilise with her zimmer frame. She has oedema in her ankles and feet and her skin is very delicate.
The
staff have managed to prevent leg ulcers by applying cream to the area every day.
My Aunt enjoys the meals and is encouraged to drink plenty of fluids. She has a lovely en suite room.
She enjoys socialising with the staff and other residents and she tells me that she is happier now than when she was young!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care was great but when she fell in Kendrick House and was sent to hospital staff was vile. l have mental health problems and the manger said she would not have my mum back because of me and said l was rude, not having my mum's best interest at heart. l said l would not visit then, other than a
p2 bed, said the manager had spoken to them regarding to my mum and because of me don't take her, my mum soul is destroyed and staff on reception taking personal calls and doing scratch cards.

Review from Gordon K (Brother of Resident) published on 11 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister was transferred from Hospital to Kendrick Centre, without informing me that they were going to transfer her, and I believe that Kendrick Centre hadn’t been informed that she was arriving.
Everyone at the centre were so kind and helpful, they couldn’t do enough to make my sister feel comfortable
and at home. During the time she was there, I noticed a difference in my sister, she had put on a little weight, and looked better in herself, although she is 93 and I don’t expect miracles, She was so unsteady on her feet, in fact, she couldn’t stand up alone when she was in Good Hope Hospital, but she did manage to walk with her frame with the nurse close by.
So I would just like to thank everyone at Kendrick Centre for what they have done to help my sister.

Review from P N (Resident) published on 9 November 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Stayed on the 2nd floor for 8 weeks. The staff were all kind to me and helped me get through one of the hardest times of my life. I was diagnosed wrongly in hospital and sent there; so was a bit of a shock when I arrived as I had no idea I'd been diagnosed with dementia and Addison's disease. I'm not
going to mention names as everyone played their part in my recovery. I've no doubt in my mind I'd be a dead person by now. So if you are worried about a family member staying there, I can tell you wholeheartedly they will be looked after very well. Once again, special thanks to all the people who helped me.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent service, lovely staff, location very nice. Was looked after well. Food was good, though sometimes had to wait 20 mins for it to be dished out, saying that it was warm when served. Select activity groups provided per weekday, was nice to get involved and encouraged by staff to meet new people
and try new things out.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.817)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.817) out of 10 for The Kenrick Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.333 for The Kenrick Centre is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.333
  2. 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 3.484 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Kenrick Centre is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3.25
    2. 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.234
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
