Over all time Kingfisher House Care Home has 134 reviews.
From our first visit, we have been made to feel welcome, the care my mother-in-law receives is superb. The staff are always friendly and smiling. It's always a pleasure to visit and to know she is well looked after means we rest in the knowledge she is in good hands.
My dear mum is happy at Kingfisher, she has made friends and the care staff love her very much, so for myself it's very rewarding to see mum well looked after.
Excellent. Encourages everyone.
This is a great home with fantastic staff who look after everybody fantastically. There are always great things going on.
The dinner was lovely and the activities by the team was great for all of them.
18-months has been very very good.
I feel everyone is very caring to my husband and myself. I leave the home knowing he is well cared for.
Very friendly staff. Clean and cheerful. Happy environment.
Mum is very happy and has settled well at Kingfisher House. The residents are encouraged to join in with the activities and the community feel in the home is much appreciated.
Excellent activities.
Excellent activities.
I was also treated the same all the times I visited.
Sadly, she passed away on the 27th of July, and again, all were treated with dignity and love.
I would recommend Kingfisher without any hesitation.
I find the staff at Kingfisher House excellent with the care of my mum who has dementia. The effort two staff members in particular put in to include as many as possible in activities is unbelievable. Nothing but huge gratitude to them and the rest of the staff for doing so much to care for and occupy my mum and the other residents.
The whole building and the grounds need money spending on them as they are looking tired and outdated.
The staff are incredibly hard-working and pleasant to my father-in-law when we visit. You are welcome and it is a lovely atmosphere.
The team have worked so hard to help mum get back out of bed following a hospital admission 2 months ago. Their sensitive care and contact attention means she is finally well enough to sit out of bed. We have been for a 'walk' in the garden, watched the birds and had dinner in the dining room. It's a start and really cheered Mum up. Thank you.
Staff are approachable and able to answer questions or direct me to the person I needed to speak to.
Caring staff who couldn't do more.
I would just say that the bathroom in his room is looking tired and has a few age problems, which makes it hard for the cleaning staff to give the outcome that they would like, I am sure.
My mother-in-law has been in residential care for nearly 1 year. The staff are always friendly and helpful, taking time to talk to us and explain the care they are giving. My mother-in-law has dementia, but she feels safe and seems very content and happy.
