Review from Paul O (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 9 December 2016

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Being a purpose-built facility, Kingsland House has a very different atmosphere to the many care homes that are converted from large old houses. In many ways, it feels more like a hotel. Everywhere is light and airy, and the public areas are spacious.


The building is well maintained, and the overall

standard of cleanliness is good with there being little evidence of the smells that can be common in many care homes.


The staff are friendly, and mostly seem to be employees rather than agency - familiar faces being important for people with memory problems. They always seem to have time for a chat with both residents and their families, despite having busy workloads.


Although our relative doesn’t enjoy being in a care home, this is no reflection on Kingsland House. It gives us peace of mind knowing that she’s living somewhere where she’s safe and where she gets the care and support that she needs.

Dad has been at Kingsland House for nearly 4 weeks.
When he arrived, everything was well organised and ready for him. Without exception, every member of staff was warm and welcoming.
Dad has settled in well, and is enjoying a high quality of care, excellent interactions with the staff, stimulating
and fun activities and delicious food.
The manager os excellent - a rare mixture of professionalism and warmth. Nothing is too much trouble.

Reply from Marion Conway, General Manager at Barchester Kingsland House Care Home

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Kingsland House is a relatively modern purpose built care home. All on the ground floor so circulation for frail or wheelchair residents is easy. The home has gone through a difficult time with a number of short-term or temporary managers. This probably caused a serious drop in the care and service
given to residents. However, for the past 9 months or so there has been a marked improvement in the quality of care in all aspects of care and support to the physical appearance of the premises. There are relatives meetings which give an opportunity to put forward any concerns or suggestions. The Home is clean, tidy and has plenty of stimulating aspects for residents. There are regular activities for those able to participate. The Home is surrounded by pleasant well-kept gardens. For ongoing success, it is important that there is continuity in management.

I was shocked to be told I was going to be sent to a care home, as I never felt I needed help. To me I was a person who coped well enough at home with some help from family and friends, from my church, a family Doctor, Nurses and friendly neighbours, but worse that i needed help mentally was unbelievable
no not that.

We visit a lot and are always made welcome. The new staff are perfect for the job. My friend has been in Kingsland home for 18 month now and we are really relieved at her social progress and happier self. She is happy and healthier and a bit heavier if we can say that and even we enjoy our meal times
in with her when we can. We had a lovely day and brought more family to see the open day too. We hope when the new manager and team come in they stay on and stay. This home is the best there is and when my time comes I would be safe and happy here. We always recommended Kingsland and we know people are happy. The staff work wonders and thank you for all you have done.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.233)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.233) out of 10 for Barchester Kingsland House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.233 for Barchester Kingsland House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (15 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 257 Ratings = 4.233

  • b) 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 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
