The care staff are excellent, friendly and caring.
The staff are very helpful. The care is excellent.
All the staff at Kingfisher House are absolutely amazing, from building a rapport with the tenants to organising games, parties and activities, they really couldn't do more to make everyone comfortable and welcome. The common areas are inviting and busy at all times of the week and there is always something engaging going on. We're so happy and appreciate how our grandma is being looked after.
Kingfisher House is always such a happy, caring place. All the staff always greet with smiles. The home is always clean and tidy. The events are always in full swing and it is great to see all the residents being so well looked after and included in the fun! Thank you for taking such good care of my grandma.
My mother came to KingFisher House Care Home in October 2023. I have been very impressed with the care and the management of the home. The staff are really lovely and treat my mum with care and patience as she sometimes gets anxious. She knows all the staff by name and enjoys the activities and events. We are always kept informed of any health issues and she receives medical attention straight away if needed. This is a lovely care home and well-staffed with kind, passionate people. They are always helpful in any issues and supportive to the relatives too. Mum is always clean and well looked after. I am more than happy with the care my mum receives. She enjoys all the events and loves the entertainment and games.
Kingfisher House is a truly lovely home. The staff go above and beyond their duties to care for my mother-in-law. The entertainment is amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. The food looks delightful. My mother-in-law is very happy, and that's all we could wish for. Thank you, and well done everyone.
Kingfisher provides great care and activities for all the residents to keep them occupied throughout the day.
An absolutely fantastic, wonderful team and I am very happy my mum is here at Kingfisher...
I was a very sad woman when I came to this wonderful care home, the carers give me so much attention and care, always have time for me and I am able to laugh again which I thought I would never do again. I am looking forward to my stay here as it gets better and better every day.
Mum is very happy and enjoying her new life, she loves taking part in all the arranged events and we are extremely happy with her care.
My partner is a very happy resident for 2 years and has been well looked after by the staff are very caring and attentive!
He has settled so well. I am very pleased with everything that has happened since he has been here. I am able to visit my partner now, not his carer. The activities have been super for him and pleased I can join in too.
Happy with the care Dad receives plus the activities she attends.
Lots of activities for her to do, staff friendly and always around for her and want to give her anything she needs.
My husband became a resident at Kingfisher Home in March 2024. His care so far has been good.
Very happy with the care and support on a day-to-day basis. My wife can be difficult at times.
She is happy here.
Happy with staff and attention my mother gets on a daily basis.
My mother-in-law seems to be happy and is far more sociable. She takes part in nearly all activities and had made friends with other residents and members of staff. It is good that she is now less lonely and enjoys a more active lifestyle. This gives the family peace of mind, knowing that she is well cared for and now has around-the-clock oversight.
Mum was in this care home for nearly two years she loved the activities and people that cared for her. The home has changed so much for the better, Mum passed away in May and I would like to thank everyone who looked after Mum.
