Kingswood Court Care Home is located in a quiet residential suburb in Kingswood, Bristol. The team offer residential care for people who need help with daily tasks, nursing care for those who have complex medical needs, and respite care to give family or friends a well-earned break.

Comfortable facilities are combined with highly trained staff to ensure that each and every individual is given superior attention. 24-hour care is provided in a warm and welcoming environment, with delicious meals and daily activities, including a choice of therapeutic approaches.

Activities are key to the residents' wellbeing and as such the team believe in providing a wide range of daily activities to ensure residents are engaged, active and celebrating life here at Kingswood. Whether a resident enjoys art, live music, gardening, flower arranging or trips out, it is all undertaken to ensure that each resident’s time here is enjoyable and relaxing.

In addition, the home has great community links and receives visits from local schools and groups, which always puts a smile on residents’ faces.

The team always discuss with residents and their families about their food preferences and dietary requirements. The chef and catering team then work with dieticians to create meals that are nutritious and tasty, using fresh seasonal ingredients that are lovingly prepared each and every day by the Head Chef. Residents can eat in pleasant dining rooms or, if they prefer, the team are pleased to serve them their meal in the privacy of their own rooms.

It is their philosophy that Kingswood exists for the people they support, and life does not stop because the individual needs care.

I visit the home on regular basis to see my mum. Every time I see my mum, and without fail, my mum always say all these years staff are really kind. I don't need to be told that, as I can see it with my own eyes. I would personally like to thank all of the team for the kindness they show my mum and
for the warm welcome I always receive when visiting.

Client came in as an 'emergency' so I didn't view the home in advance.
I am delighted with what is happening. The care, amazing staff, great activities, not to mention the food!
My partner loves music and singing. Every effort is made to ensure he is always involved and they listened to my request.
Overall,
great.

I visited Mum for the first time yesterday since she moved to Barchester Kingswood Court Care Home.
I already knew that she was happy and cared for.
I was made to feel extremely welcome and was able to eat following a 5-hour-plus journey. The senior regional head chef was particularly helpful.
I
spent a number of hours with Mum and was impressed by the atmosphere, equipment, surroundings and cleanliness.
Every one of the staff was friendly, efficient, happy and really kind to the residents, even when they became "confused".
I am so happy that Mum has finally settled in a lovely, happy, caring home.
Many thanks, I look forward to visiting Mum again soon.

The staff in this care home are multinationals and that encourages diversity. I always meet my friend in good spirit and this testifies to the comfortable, safe and friendly environment in Barchester Kingswood Court Care Home.
The staff. especially the carers I have encountered. are so nice, courteous
to the residents and guests; sometimes this is the worry when you have a loved one under the care of others but their attitude to work showed that my dear one is being respected and cared for.
They also have a beach room, that is the happy place for my loved one. This is where they have their daily activities and exercise. It is such a social place.
I thank all the staff and management of this care home, bravo!

On entering the front door the ambience is excellent, clean and fresh with welcoming staff.
To reach our friend who suffers from dementia the access security via the main door, stairs and corridor was efficient and sound and the room itself was clean and airy.
On the first (of 2) occasions we visited
the corridors and room were fresh-smelling though the second time there was some odour from bodily functions; perhaps understandable if very recent before any action could be taken, but the star reduction is entirely for that reason.
The staff were kind and attentive and looked after our friend and ourselves exceedingly well. All in all, the home is heartily recommended for the care it gives.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Barchester Kingswood Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.921 for Barchester Kingswood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (470 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 509 Ratings = 4.921

  • 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 Kingswood Court Care Home is based on 43 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 43 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.
