Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been living at Kingswood Court for the past 10 months after suffering a stroke. This was quickly followed by the death of my father. The staff have all been kind & caring towards Mum, showing empathy & compassion as she grieved. They have also met her care needs to a high standard whilst
also helping with her rehabilitation & recovery. Nursing staff are quick to observe if Mum is unwell & arrange a GP visit. Activities go on throughout the week but Mum finds it quiet & she becomes lonely at weekends if we are not visiting. Overall we are extremely pleased with Mum's care & experience.

Review from C B (Son of Resident) published on 17 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
This nursing home has been refurbished, but struggles to retain staff, with many changes of manager over the last few years. Care provided to my mother was often very poor, with several safeguarding meetings held in attempting to address issues such as being left on her own for long periods (she is
confined to a wheelchair), being put to bed late afternoon and not getting up until nearly lunchtime, poor hygiene, theft from her room. On entering the first floor to visit my mother, one noticed the smell, then various residents calling out for help. It has a small garden at the front which is noisy as on a main road, In the end, we moved her to another home. I would not recommend Kingswood Court.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Barchester Kingswood Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.873 for Barchester Kingswood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (419 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 449 Ratings = 4.873
  2. 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 37 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 37 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
