Review from Hazel D (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I think the quality in the levels of care offered at Kenbrook by the manager and her team of nurses and care assistants are exceptional.

My mother has spent the last three-and-a-quarter years there, dying a couple of weeks ago just short of her 100th birthday. The care and attention she received
actually increased as she responded less and less. After three years at home with a live-in carer, her dementia had worsened as had her physical frailty. Then she moved to Kenbrook. Certain of the care assistants, in particular, perform well above their grades in terms of conscientiousness and devotion. On the day she died staff were in and out of her room to offer comfort and support both to my mother and to me. What touched me most of all was half a dozen waiting for me to come out of the room in order to give me a hug and a kiss.

Another friend of mine whose mother-in-law spent her last months at Kenbrook remarked that she could not have asked for greater compassion and dignity.
Reply from Marian O'Hara, Home Manager at KenbrookWe just wanted to thank you for your lovely words regarding Kenbrook and the team.

From the first time that I visited Kenbrook, I knew that it was the right place for my Mum to spend her final years.


Kenbrook felt very homely and all of the staff were very warm and welcoming. The home was bright and cheerful with lots of photos and examples of recent activities on the walls of

the lounges, which were very spacious and overlooked the beautiful gardens.


All of the staff were very kind and very caring and always attentive to my Mum's needs. My Mum settled in straight away and she always seemed content and happy, which was a great relief to me.


My Mum stayed at Kenbrook for nearly two years until she recently passed away. During this time the level of care, she received, was first rate. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and it gave me peace of mind that she was being cared for by such wonderful people in a safe and caring environment.

Although living some distance from Kenbrook, I visit fairly frequently (more than once every two months), I seldom announce that I will be visiting. I have always found my 'ward' clean, well-dressed in a room which is spotless. I have sat with others in the dining room and on occasion sampled the food.
The care is exemplary and has been for many years. The staff are helpful, pleasant and clearly have my 'wards' best interest at heart - even under what are sometimes trying and testing circumstances.
Reply from Raden Mauremootoo, Area Manager at KenbrookDear Colin,

The staff at Kenbrook work effectively as a team and also treat each resident as an individual. Relatives and friends are welcomed and feel part of a large family. I cannot recommend this home highly enough - and this is said on the basis of a total six and a half years of care provided.
Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookThank you, Julia, for sharing such a wonderful review for others to see. I am sure it will be very comforting to those searching for a nursing home for their parents too.

Review from Keith F (Son of Resident) published on 15 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were truly blessed when we went to Kenbrook Nursing home - Not only my dad, who is now a resident there but also the whole family as we all know that dad is totally cared for, looked after and very much loved. All the staff are not only professional and caring but they ALL bring something very special
to the place - their smile, their laughter, their kindness, their energy, their individuality, their expert knowledge for caring for the old, with dementia and with very complicated needs. All the staff have each made a special connection with my dad, they each bring their very special personality to the workplace. But it is more of a vocation for each one of them as they give so so much- but "it is fully appreciated" in every way. Kenbrook Nursing home should be the "Governments Model" for all other nursing homes - for what they do so exceptionally well. Caring, Nursing and the Management of the Caring are all not easy jobs. Kenbrook achieves and maintains excellence in all areas !!
Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookDear Keith

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. I know that Kenbrook put their all into achieving a high-quality service and consider themselves one large family and am so pleased to hear this is what you and your dad have experienced too. Your sharing this is really appreciated and I will relay this back to the team, I know it will mean a lot to them.

The staff and management at Kenbrook are exceptional. They took excellent care of my wife during her time there of almost 5 years. They looked after me too when I visited my wife every day. They are all kind and compassionate and I felt comfortable being there and so did my wife. They became like family
to me and it felt like home. I was able to stay by my wife's side all day and night when she became critical and was there with her when she passed. I am eternally grateful to all of them.
Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookThank you so much to you and the assistance in Patricia in completing this review.

Your words give a sincerity that I am sure will offer great comfort to others looking for a nursing home for their loved one. I will pass this wonderful tribute on to the team at Kenbrook. I am so pleased that, although it is a difficult time for family, you found great comfort and support from the team there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Throughout my mother's stay at Kenbrook, my family and I had complete peace of mind that she was receiving the best possible care. Once my mother had adjusted, she was very happy and comfortable. Her room was full of family photos and things she liked and the staff always made her look beautiful every
day, even taking the time to put her on beloved pearls. During the last few months, when my mother took a turn for the worse, the staff were incredibly supportive and compassionate towards us. They ensured that we were always kept up to date of her condition and if she worsened, would call us to let us know, which is what we had requested. When my mother passed away, the management and staff were genuinely saddened and were a great comfort to us. Two of my mother's carers came to her funeral which was very touching. There is no doubt that choosing Kenbrook for my mother was an excellent decision. We are forever grateful to everyone at Kenbrook for taking such wonderful care of her.

My mother was a resident at Kenbrook for almost 5 years. From the very first day, my family and I realised how lucky she was to be there. She needed a lot of care, following a second stroke and her need for care gradually increased over her time there until she passed away. The staff and management
are superb. They took great care of my mother throughout her time there and also of my elderly father who visited my mother every day. They are kind, patient and understanding. Clearly, many see their work as vocational, as although not an easy job in the slightest, they carry out their work with remarkable empathy. The turnover of staff is minimal and over the years many became like family, especially to my father. The home itself is spotless and my mother was always clean and immaculate when we visited. The lovely garden and family events they hold are an added bonus. It is clear that the residents are very happy. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookDear Patricia

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, I agree that Kenbrook provides a home away from home and really care for our residents. I am glad that you and your mother found this and will relay your kind sentiments to the team.

Kenbrook provided superb care and excellent nursing support for my mother. She required a high level of care due to her condition and without doubt, they made her last weeks as comfortable as we could have possibly been hoped. No task was too much and all the staff attended her with dedication and love
for their job. I can not thank them enough for what they did for my mother over the last weeks of her life.
Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookDear Richard

Thank you so much for your words of thanks, such a wonderful review of the care given to your mother at Kenbrook. I will share these with the team as I know your words of appreciation will mean so much to them. I know how difficult it is to know our loved ones are so unwell they need nursing care and how it is such a relief when you know the staff really do deliver the care with such warmth. I am pleased you could see this and am of course sorry for your loss though.

My mother came to Kenbrook in May 2016 needing nursing care for PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy). She had exceptional care until she died on 21st November 2016. The manager and administrator were outstanding and the nurses and carers were ever willing to help. Mum needed total assistance as she
was unable to do anything at all for herself but had full cognisance even though she lost her ability of speech. They loved her and gave her spiritual care first by loving her.
Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookThank you so much for taking the time to complete this review of the care and support shown to your mum at Kenbrook. I know this will be a sad time still for you all and I offer my condolences. You have shown great appreciation for the care and affection shown to your mum by the team, something they strive for and I am sure this review will give some reassurance to others needing this.

Thank you once again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family, we have been very impressed with all aspects of the facility at Kenbrook. In particular, we found the staff and management very caring and compassionate - nothing was too much trouble. My cousin was told that Kenbrook was her home and she was part of the family. She was not always the easiest
person to deal with but she was always treated with patience and respect, and she referred to her carers as "my lovely carers'. When she passed away suddenly the management and staff were genuinely upset at her passing, and were so kind and understanding as we went about the difficult task of packing up her things and tidying up her affairs. In the two years my cousin was at Kenbrook her health improved with good medical care and good food. Special thanks to the Managers for their wise and kind management and for the warm, family culture they have created. We are so glad we chose Kenbrook!
Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookThank you so much for sharing your review of Kenbrook and of the family type care they provided to your cousin. I am sure others will be put at ease to know that great care like this is out there and more importantly that is what you saw and your dear cousin experienced.

Review from Angela H (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 5 December 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was immediately impressed when I first visited Kenbrook and was given a detailed tour of the home. Both residents and staff appeared to be happy, and I soon noticed mutual respect between the manager and staff, who regard themselves as the Kenbrook family. Kenbrook has a bright and airy feel, and
a variety of activities is
provided for those who would like to join in but with no pressure to do so against their will. In the past two years my sister-in-law, who was mentally alert, made many friends among the staff, overcoming her near blindness by learning to identify their voices. The manager and staff are exceptionally caring so that new residents soon adjust to their new circumstances. I have never doubted my decision to entrust my sister-in-law to their care and now that she has passed away I will miss seeing the friends I too have made at Kenbrook. If only the same could be said of all such establishments.


Keep up the good work and thank you.

Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookDear Angela

Thank you so much for your wonderfully kind words for the care and support given to your sister-in-law at Kenbrook.

The love, care, and compassion my brother-in-law was given at Kenbrook was amazing. We could not have asked for any more from this marvelous home.


Having sadly been diagnosed with terminal cancer he spent the last six weeks of his life at Kenbrook and he described these as the happiest days of

his life. He felt both at home and at peace surrounded by people that loved and cared for him.


He passed away peacefully in the comfort of his own room with family and staff present.


We cannot thank the staff and management enough for the support they gave him and our family during this difficult period.


We cannot recommend this home highly enough. Rest assured this is the perfect home for your loved one.

Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookFirstly, I am so sorry for your loss. Secondly, thank you so much for not only taking the time to give a review rating for this service but for sharing yours and your brother-in-law's real life experience.

The care staff and management really do care. They all showed lots of love and affection to my Mum who spent her last couple of weeks in Kenbrook 2 years ago.
My Dad, who became terminally ill this year had no hesitation in telling us that he wanted to spend his last days there too.
Most of the staff
were familiar to us from Mums time there and were very upset to see Dad so ill now. I knew he was in the most loving hands in the world.
Everyone receives more than what you could hope for in the way of friendship, help, advice, love.....I can't say enough.....I call them Angels.
Obviously, the professional healthcare is excellent and all the emotional care is given to all who enter, not just the residents.
Eternally grateful........
Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookThank you for this wonderful review, it is heart warming to hear words spoken with such appreciation and affection.

I agree that the team really do care as if each resident were their own family member and this shows throughout their work.

Having experienced two care homes previously, I have to say what a Godsend Kenbrook is. I know that my relative is cared for in a thorough, professional, respectful and caring way. Kenbrook has a caring attitude to not just the resident but to their family and friends and on a number of occasions
have provided very sensitive and loving care to me as a relative by way of support.
The administration is excellent - always helpful and efficient. My friends genuinely love coming to Kenbrook to visit their friend and the Kenbrook staff too - it is a Win Win - they give and receive joy and affirmation on making a visit. I can't truly express what a precious part Kenbrook is in my life and in that of my relative and friends. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother joined Kenbrook 2 years ago. She had Alzheimers for 12 years. We have very high praise for this unassuming nursing home. From day one, it was clear the staff go far beyond their paid job. Staff really got to know our mum and all her family. They treated us as a whole family not just an
elderly woman with Alzheimers. The home is like a 'home from home' with a very personal, dignified ethos. All the staff no matter what role, tried everything they could to ensure mum was comfortable and continued to eat and drink. Whenever we requested expert input (palliative care , GP) they were considerate and extremely efficient. Standards of personal care (washing/dressing etc) are very high. Her room was always immaculately clean. Mum was always washed, dressed and sitting in the one of the beautiful lounges that look out onto the well tended gardens. Her last days were filled with staff visiting her, prayers and genuine love for our mother. We are indebted to the whole team.
Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at KenbrookThank you so much for your wonderful heart felt review of the kindness and care given to your mum whilst she was living at Kenbrook. I know they miss your mum too, your mum was a wonderful lady and it was a pleasure to care for her during her final days. I wish you all the best and we will think of you and wish you happy memories during this time of loss.

My father had a recent short stay at Kenbrook. It was his final wish to go there. We knew how wonderful all the staff were, there was no decision to be made as my Mother was a resident 2 years ago. Everybody at Kenbrook are angels, no exceptions. Our family are indebted to them all for their professionalism,
sensitivity and kindness. They all go far beyond the call of duty and nothing is too much trouble. I remember Dad saying they treated Mum like a queen, well they treated my father like a king. God bless all of them. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kenbrook to anybody.

I am so pleased that your father got his wish and that you found the support and care at Kenbrook to be so special. I agree this team does go that extra mile to make the residents stay special and attentive and it is great to know that they did this during his final days. I am very sorry for your loss and I know the home will miss your father. Please do keep in touch with us should you wish, I know it may be difficult at this time but you are always welcome to visit.

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 4.883 for Kenbrook is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.883
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kenbrook is based on 19 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
