  • King William Residential Home, Ripley
King William Residential Home is bursting with character, having once been a public house. Now transformed into a 28 bed residential home, it benefits from some truly unique and individual bedrooms. A number of residents have pets and your pets will always be considered. The standard of the bedroom accommodation means that you will have to go a long way to find better.

There are fantastic communal facilities with a large comfortable lounge where residents socialise and regular entertainment is staged. There is a further, newly decorated garden lounge with access to a lovely spacious garden, with raised beds for those who like to potter. There is also a fully equipped craft room to pursue all kinds of hobbies from arts and crafts, to painting and model making. This home is very active with regular trips to the shops and local attractions, live entertainment, access to centralised facilities and exercise classes, there is a whole lot to keep you busy at King William.

An onsite hairdressing salon means you will be looking your best and with regular visits from a chiropodist, dentist, physiotherapist and GP when required, you can feel very well looked after indeed. Staff are well trained and committed, they go out of their way to ensure you have everything you need.

My friend is full of praise for the care she receives, the standard of food and the caring attitude of the staff. I have found everyone very friendly and welcoming on my weekly visits to my friend.

After relocating my grandparents from abroad to the King William some 8 months ago I am pleased to say they have settled in well. The staff are friendly and helpful to both residents and visiting family. The food is good (I have tried it) the home facilitates entertainment for the residents and allows
me to visit anytime day or night which is reassuring, both my grandparents who are in the mid-nineties are happy here. In the summer they spent much time in the gardens and we also went on shopping trips into town and even a visit to the pub. I am glad I chose this care home.

My mum is well cared for in King William, I'm satisfied she is happy and content she would say or give me some indication if she wasn't. She is secure which is important her room is nice and she has settled lovely. She used to go once or twice a week since 2014 so she thinks it's her home now.

My mum went into this home permanently this month. I couldn't have wished for a better home for her. She loves it there. The staff are so caring and friendly. My mum is looking so much better now she is in there. Her room is lovely, spacious and the food is really nice. She is looked after really well.
She has her hair and nails done and they have a good programme of entertainment. I can't praise them enough.

My husband is in a very caring and safe place sometimes he has a fall but the carers are very quick and make sure he is well taken care of. The place is always 100% clean and even though my husband does not always join in with things there is always something happening.
The food is really very good
and my husband enjoys his food. The staff do a remarkable job.

I have stayed at the King William for 3 weeks respite care and during this time I am happy to say I have enjoyed my time here. My room was lovely and the food was outstanding. All the staff have been warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. I would absolutely recommend King William to anyone,
the staff are very rare.

The home is excellent but both my parents smoke and they could do with a shelter to smoke in as they are left in the rain. They would settle a lot better if this was put in place. Food, staff are lovely, cant fault them.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.732)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.732) out of 10 for King William Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.732 for King William Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.732

  • 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 King William Residential Home is based on 11 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
