Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!
Reply from Catherine Crawshaw, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Kingswood Court Care HomeThank you so much for such a wonderful review; it is a pleasure to have you at Kingswood Court, and we are so pleased you are so happy with every aspect of the home.

Mum has been very well looked after during her two-week respite break. She was happy and cheerful whilst there, and all her needs were attended to. We were able to have a restful break. We would certainly bring Mum back to Kingswood Court when we have another holiday.
Could recommend it to anyone.

Review from Bridget C (Wife of Resident) published on 27 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall, a good review. I find the room is satisfactory due to the bathroom (which is being refurbished soon) and the trolly/table which is not always wiped down and can be very sticky.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming with very good communication. This includes all areas of reception, kitchen,
office, corridors and crucially care staff and nurses.
Activities are amazing and available regularly with plenty of fun going on - especially music sessions.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The reception my mother, sisters, relatives and myself have received has been beyond my best expectations. Everyone is friendly, kind, caring and considerate. The ambience of the home is more of a five star hotel than a care home and full credit must be given to the staff and management. Mum's comments
after her first evening were that everyone these wonderful and she feels very safe.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The time has come again to put finger to keyboard for my latest review on Kingswood Court Care Home. There have been many improvements over the last year since Barchester Healthcare Ltd took over the care home, activities have improved greatly with more residents participating. Sometimes the staff can
be rushed to get all the daily tasks completed in good time. The downstairs area has been improved greatly dining room and living room area and bathroom and toilets have been done to a high standard. Hopefully, this will continue to the upper levels in the foreseeable future. It would be nice if they had more trips out for the residents. Especially for those residents that have been in the care home for a long time. Food is generally good and the kitchen staff are always very helpful sometimes it would be nice to see a little more choice. Cleaning staff do a great job and are always very kind and caring and always take time to communicate with the residents.

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.
