Review from Gilly (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 September 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The constant changing of staff since he has been there (two and a half years) is very unsettling for my father. His room decoration and furniture is very old and 'tired' (with an old and stained carpet, which seems a bad choice for floor covering in a nursing home anyway). There is also not much stimulation
apart from 'parking' the residents in front of a television.

There has been a large turnover of staff which is unsettling for the residents. Do not seem to take into account my father's hard of hearing when speaking to him.

Very welcoming, carers and staff polite and friendly. My friend said the manager of the home and the cleaner was very nice and he feels happy to be here. The home is clean and tidy and the atmosphere is relaxed and homely. Also, they have lots of entertainment involving friends and relatives.

I feel that since the manager has taken charge, the home and facilities have improved tremendously. I am so pleased that my step mum is happier and more contented. Well done to what she has achieved in such a short period of time!

Review from Judi (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum originally came in for respite whilst my husband and I went on holiday, only for 3 weeks, she loved it from the off and then decided to stay for another week. During that time she decided for herself that this was the place she needed to be to help her with her poor mobility and personal care.
All the staff made her feel so welcome and at home immediately. I cannot speak highly enough of the care and support everyone has given her.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) out of 10 for Kingfisher Nursing Home 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.908 for Kingfisher Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.908
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kingfisher Nursing Home is based on 13 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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
