We were very concerned about how my Nan would settle in to care , she was welcomed with open arms and has settled in excellently! She's now like a new woman now she is getting the care she deserves.


She has received nothing but exceptional care

Review from P H (Respite Resident) published on 4 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience with Kingsfield Care Home was truly outstanding. The care workers were exceptionally kind, compassionate, and supportive, consistently going above and beyond to ensure our family member felt comfortable and well cared for during his respite stay. It was clear that the team had taken the
time to get to know him personally, which gave us great confidence in the level of care and attention he received. He felt safe, valued, and very much at home-so much so that he was reluctant to leave. He speaks very fondly of his time at Kingsfield and has already expressed a strong desire to return. He particularly enjoyed the activities on offer and often shares how much he liked taking part. We are deeply grateful to the Kingsfield team for making his stay so enjoyable and meaningful. Thank you!

I have always found Kingsfield to be a caring, welcoming residence. The staff are very committed, hard-working and treat all residents with respect and dignity. Perhaps a small garden would be beneficial. But a very friendly home from home.

I have visited Kingsfield Residential Care Home on many occasions to see Dad. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and helpful. The care that Dad receives is outstanding. All staff display these same levels of care and attention. I can therefore commend Kingsfield as a superb residential care home
and wish to thank them for their unwavering commitment.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The resident's sister and I visit once a month. We always feel welcome and comfortable. Having seen the condition both were in before coming here it was a relief to see them both looking so well cared for. Both of them looked well-nourished, clean and much better. There is a lovely atmosphere here and
always smells fresh. Having been in care employment myself everyone seems happy and content. We leave without any issues.

Review from S W (Friend of Resident) published on 22 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My friend seems very settled (most of the time). Her diagnosis is Alzheimer's dementia-so occasional changes in demeanour are to be expected. Her moments of 'changed' behaviour seem much less than when at home. She is always clean, though sometimes incontinent of urine there has never been any smell
on her in her room (only once) or in any public areas. Her room has been decorated recently (09/02/2023). The staff always are patient, helpful and kind in their 'dealing' with my friend. Very happy with her care.

Review from Annette M (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was with Kingsfield for five years from the age of 84 after a diagnosis of dementia. Initially, she was able to engage in her usual hobbies and interests in the wider community with the support of family and friends. This individual preference was respected and supported within Kingsfield.
Later, her needs changed but she was able to continue to have a good quality of life within the home. Regular chiropody and hairdressing visits were much appreciated. There were parties, live music and other entertainments provided too plus an activities co-ordinator providing additional time and attention for individuals. The standard of care was excellent with committed and professional staff providing a personal and loving environment so that it had a family atmosphere rather than an institutional one.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.694)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.694) out of 10 for Kingsfield Residential Care Home 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 5 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 4.268 for Kingsfield Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.268
  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 4.426 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kingsfield Residential Care Home is based on 5 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.4 = 0.926
  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.
