I think the (current) management and care staff are fabulous. They go above and beyond their care of duty.
The changes the current manager has implemented have made a huge positive impact on the home.
I have nothing but thanks and admiration for the entire team at Barchester Kingsland House Care Home.

Review from Mo K (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been living at Kingsland House since September 2022. In that time there have been a lot of changes in managers and staff, which is why it's not a full five-star review. The new manager and all the staff there work hard to provide a positive environment. I asked my mum today what score she
wanted to give so this is based on her feedback too.
Positives - new manager is genuinely changing things so that residents are both happy and asked about what works for them. Any questions I ask are answered. The staff are friendly and helpful and my mum has settled in well.
Feedback - it can feel difficult to find people sometimes to help with things, but I think this is true of any care home.
We are happy and we can see that Mum is happy and has a good relationship with a lot of the staff there. It's also a friendly environment to visit and there are rooms there you can book for family gatherings.
Reply from Emily Strange, Interim Activities Coordinator at Barchester Kingsland House Care HomeThank you for your feedback. We are pleased you and your mother are happy and that you find the home friendly and we enjoy welcoming you when you visit, Operations Manager.

When it became clear mum needed to be in a care home we looked around for a place we felt confident she would feel looked after well and feel comfortable. Kingsland House ticked all the boxes. During mums stay I can honestly say I was very impressed with the quality of care and professionalism of all
the staff. I am very grateful to you all for helping mum final few years be as comfortable and peaceful as possible.

Completely unhappy with my mum's care, not being washed until later in the day, and food being left on a trolley cold as mum was unable to feed herself. No pain medication was given throughout September, the room was not cleaned, rubbish was not emptied. The alarm bell was found on the floor or on the
chair beside the bed when Mum could not gain access to it. Care needs not being carried out.

Review from Connie T (Respite Resident) published on 13 November 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
While I soon discovered that the staff were all efficient, kind and helpful, I found many puzzling deficiencies found only by chance that there are residents who are not deficient in mental attributes. Mixing with them would have made a very different experience. I would not choose to come again.
On
the plus side: Afternoon entertainment, beautiful gardens, availability of drinks and snacks etc. (If I could find where they were). Availability of reading material, picture books.
On the downside:
1. Asked for a doctor when I developed a hacking cough. No medical found though I was told that one was 'coming' later, resorted to trickery to get a doctor.
2: Loss of clothing from the room, was told it had been sent to the laundry, never seen again.
3: Clean towel provided, disappeared unused ('gone to the laundry').
4: Toilet not flushing adequately.
5: Liquid soap of poor quality and hard to access.
6: Bed hard-edged and difficult to rise from.
7: Left for home still with a hacking cough.
Reply from Claire Taylor, Operations Manager at Barchester Kingsland House Care HomeThank you for taking the time to review we have taken on board the feedback given and would love to invite you back to Kingsland House to have afternoon tea or lunch to give me the opportunity to discuss further as I was not able to meet you in person.

The care home was under new management when Dad moved in seven months ago. I have to say that a majority of staff are all helpful, kind and considerate. Dad seems to have settled more now, and the activities and personal-centred approach from the activities coordinator couldn't be better. Management,
admin and nurses, especially, are very approachable. I feel the cleaning could be improved, but apart from that, I am pleased with Dad's care at present.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
In general, the home is good, in the past the standard fluctuated very much, it has much improved. There still is a lack of consistency in the level of care. But in general, the staff are kind and my mother is taken care of. I think more could be done for my relative but all things seem to take time.
Most staff are good. I feel my mother is safe here. Telephoning is an issue and friends and family give up ringing at the time, not enough staff. There is a cheery atmosphere which is good.

Generally, staff go above and beyond to care for residents and make it feel like home. The activity coordinators are brilliant. Sometimes the care assistants lack attention to detail. My dad's new glasses were put in the wash by mistake and broke. Perhaps the pockets should be checked before removing
them from the linen basket.
Reply from Devendra Lallchand, General Manager at Barchester Kingsland House Care HomeThank you for your comments, I will speak to the team about making sure that the pockets of clothes are checked before being washed and I will pass on your kind comments to the activities coordinators.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
How the high reviews get through is a mystery! Have repeatedly pointed out cleanliness problems, bins not being emptied for over a week, bedrooms with food trod into carpets not being cleaned, and ants in bedrooms, which staff states happens on an annual basis. I witnessed my mother sitting in her own
urine/faeces, not to have incontinence pads being changed, with faeces on bumper pads on the bed for weeks on end! I asked if my mother may have had a stroke, and the Dr was not called until over 24 hours later, who requested blood tests, but according to the home, these were never done. Since then I have not been allowed to visit or talk to my mother for the last 5 weeks and 5 days of her life! Inhumane on both my mother's and my part as we are very close. Most of the staff are lovely, but most are leaving, with only agency staff left, who do not have a clue who they are talking about! If this gets online it will be a miracle, don't put your relative here. My mother died 1/12/22, two hours after I was finally allowed to see her.

I visit this home regularly. The management team are always friendly. I visited on an afternoon when there was a singer there and the residents loved it. The manager came down and danced with some of them which was a lovely sight. The staff are always happy and interact with the residents. The home
is clean and inviting. I would recommend Kingsland from my experience as a visitor.
Reply from Karen Williams, General Manager at Barchester Kingsland House Care HomeThank you for this review, we have a great team and the entertainers we have come regularly and know the residents well which is really lovely to see. I try to pop in to the entertainment and join the residents, having time and fun together adds to our life here at Kingsland.

Staff are not appreciated or respected by management or higher staff. Overheard manager shouting at staff and telling them how bad of carers they are and wouldn’t give them a reference in future. Staff constantly changing and now I can see why, with management like this.
Reply from Karen Williams, General Manager at Barchester Kingsland House Care HomeThank you for your review, it is always a challenge to receive negative feedback, and I am sorry you have gone away feeling that the care staff are not appreciated. We strive hard to always value staff who are hard-working and dedicated and we have many ways we do this which include bonuses, well-being services and celebrating success. We have a care award event every year and have put forward a variety of staff to receive such an award from Kingsland House. As a company we always supply a factual reference for any employee. We are always happy to discuss any issues raised and take all feedback seriously as we constantly strive to build a team who feel valued and work well together. We have recently conducted a staff survey with staff and they are able to do this anonymously and we hold HR surgeries where staff can discuss issues face to face with a HR representative from head office. If you would like to discuss, I am happy to meet with you.

Surroundings are important to my Mother so the high standard of decor and the welcoming reception area with tea, coffee and cakes available was perfect for her. The range of activities on offer is very good and there is usually something that the resident, whatever their ability, can participate in.
The staff are hard-working, caring and friendly, and although there has been a turnover in part due to Covid-19, I understand that the company has recruited. Going forward we have been told that each resident will be allocated a keyworker which will improve communication with relatives. Understandably, as with any care home, there have been a few issues along the way but the manager always has a listening ear and things are usually sorted quickly. Visiting during the pandemic has been enabled and welcomed wherever possible. I'm sure the residents are looking forward to spending time in the colourful gardens as the weather improves.
Reply from Karen Williams, General Manager at Barchester Kingsland House Care HomeThank you for taking the time to review our service .The residents are certainly looking forward to getting out more and our Activities lead is organizing a weekly trip out and mini outings as well .We are all looking forward to celebrating the jubilee with lots of fun activities organized.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.523)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.523) out of 10 for Barchester Kingsland House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.523 for Barchester Kingsland House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 258 Ratings = 4.523
  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 Barchester Kingsland House Care Home is based on 20 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 + 0.025 = 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 71 registered maximum number of service users is 14.2, which has been reached with 20 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.
