Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother became a resident on 1st November 2015. In my view, standards were not the best and over a period of time, became totally unacceptable. We would visit armed with dusters, wet wipes and anti-septic sprays - approximately 6 months ago, new staff came on board under new management. When I visited
more recently, it became apparent that improvements were there for all to see. This weekend I offered my congratulations to the manager. It was a delight to visit my mother, she was fresh and clean. Her room was a delight (thanks to the cleaner). Well done to all - I can sleep at night.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I received a warm, friendly welcome and helpful tour from the manager when visiting to arrange for a member of our Lodge to lunch with my school friend, a recent arrival.
On the day, he was well dressed/presented and waiting to greet us in his special mobile chair at the front door.
Four of us enjoyed
a very good lunch served by caring, friendly staff.
The care home gave the impression of being a happy place with helpful dedicated staff.
The 'friends' new project to improve impersonal corridors with large coloured prints works well and makes a noticeable difference, adding warmth to what would have been stark corridors.

I have become frustrated by my mother's clothes going missing from her room, given that I do all her washing. She has her own laundry basket in her room.
The potty in her commode does not get cleaned often enough!! Smells when the lid is lifted. It has been reported to the staff.

I regularly visit my father. Usually at least once a week. He seems content with his care. I have spoken, on occasions, to staff about the cleanliness of his room and there is now a marked improvement. I have requested an eye and hearing aid check so far have not heard and result. I assume there will
be news when I next visit.
The staff are very approachable but sometimes I feel request are not always followed through.
I have sometimes had lunch with my father and each time the meal has been good.

Review from Doris N (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 10 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I think the home is pretty good though no experience of any other. We (the residents) are all with varying disabilities and think the carers do their best for us. Of course, like any other organisation, some staff are better than others.


I have a room with an ensuite with a loo and basin, however,

I am now in a wheelchair so need 2 carers to put me on a commode or take me to the bath or shower.


The food is varied and there are a lot of activities. It is expensive if you are having to pay yourself like me but I get the impression it is better than other homes.

This was my second visit - again, when my family went on holiday. I was so well looked after and fed extremely well - even to an early morning cup of tea in bed. My family appreciate the fact that's nursing care is available if needed. Personally, I tell everyone, I am off to my "holiday hotel". Staff
were all happy and cheerful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father spent the last three, and happiest years of his life at Prince George Duke of Kent Court. He moved to Chislehurst after the death of my mother and quickly settled into a safe and caring environment. His room was light and clean and had a lovely view. He was never bored as he always had someone
to talk to or a planned activity to participate in. The staff and the residents were amazing and they became his extended family, he absolutely flourished.


On warm sunny days, he would sit outside in the beautiful garden reading his newspaper or playing golf on the putting green or sometimes just idly passing the time of day. He was always treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I enjoyed visiting him and would regularly stay to lunch. The food was always of a high standard and beautifully presented. The staff were always extremely kind and caring towards my father, nothing was ever too much trouble. They are lead by a strong, dynamic and highly organised management team.

This is a truly 5-star care home for the elderly. "Caring" runs through every single member of staff even maintenance and office staff display a caring nature. Food is excellent, attention is first class and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Activities are many and varied.

My nan moved into the home in March 2017 as she was falling a lot at home and had given up on life. Since being at Prince George she has improved so much and is enjoying life again. It's lovely to see nan socialising with others and attending the various activities that go on within the home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife who has mixed dementia is well cared for by the staff. In the three years, she has been assisted she has had only two key workers looking after her. They give me weekly reports on her condition and changes and if they need any input from me. The supervisors have also been with her for three
years. They monitor her progress and update me. If she has had an infection or a fall, I am told immediately. The quality of care is excellent. My wife has her diabetes and her condition is controlled by diet. Her menu is varied, nutritious and keeps her healthy. There are daily activities and all the staff are very caring.

My father has been a resident at Prince George Duke of Kent Court for many years. The staff - nursing, catering, office, premises etc have all been very good. The nursing staff are caring and patient and my father's last days (he died on the 1st April 2017) were made comfortable and he was nursed with
great kindness. Our grateful thanks to them all.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) out of 10 for Prince George Duke of Kent Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.922 for Prince George Duke of Kent Court is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.922
  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 4.946 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Prince George Duke of Kent Court is based on 14 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.946
  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.
