Review from Pep E (Friend of Resident) published on 6 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Review from Brian J (Friend of Resident) published on 25 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

This care home does everything and more for my grandparents. They arranged a day out for my gramps with the police, sat in the car and took him out in it. To see his face so happy is everything and more. The level of care and patience that they have for them both is incredible and we as a family are
so very grateful.

After 3 weeks of my mum being at Kingswood Court Care Home, the family have seen a great improvement in both her physical and mental health. All staff, from manager to catering and cleaners, do a fantastic job. As a visitor, I find the home welcoming and homely - no matter what time I visit.
Overall,
I am very happy with my mum's care and I am pleased that after viewing many other homes, she has settled here.

It was a big decision to move into residential care at 72. However, the transition has been very easy, and I have been made very welcome by management, nurses, carers, cleaners and even maintenance. The care is excellent, as is the food, and I've never felt so clean! Showers made easy and a clean, tidy
room every day! The only problem I have is trying to remember everyone's names!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 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 4.906 for Barchester Kingswood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (518 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 545 Ratings = 4.906
  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 45 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 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
    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 45 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.
