I do hope she continues to have this relaxed atmosphere with all the social interactions she is getting now. It is so good for us as a family to know she is not alone and so well looked after.
I visit my friend once a week and I'm always impressed with the staff and their commitment to the residents at the home. They go above and beyond with the care they provide. The home is always a friendly environment, very welcoming, and full of positive attitudes. In all a very high standard care home.

I think my mother is having the best experience she can at Kingfisher House Care Home in particular I think the carers are very caring and treat her very well and there are regular activities for her to take part in.
I have been visiting since February and find the staff pleasant and helpful. I do a bit of gardening (volunteer) and everyone is so appreciative which is so once.
Mum's care has been excellent. The staff are very caring. Mum loves the food.
At Kingfisher House Mother is looked after so well. She is kept very comfortable. All the staff know her and her ways. Warm and kindness is everywhere.
Very happy my dad is here. They are great with Dad and all the residents.
The care for residents at Kingfisher House Care Home is outstanding, the staff really care about the people in their care and are sensitive to their needs. Residents are treated with dignity and staff try to cater to their wishes as far as possible. Activities for residents are provided and there is a varied programme of events. The care home is kept clean and a varied diet is supplied to residents. My Mum has been at Kingfisher House for two years and she couldn't have been looked after better. Five out of five stars.
I have been to see my friend several times. And I have enjoyed my time with her.
Very happy with the care my mother receives. Excellent staff.
