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.

Review from J B (Wife of Resident) published on 16 June 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has been living at Kingswood Court Care Home for over five years, and during this time, he has been treated with dignity and has been receiving excellent care. The staff are friendly, and if I have had any questions regarding his health, I have been given all the information I need. The home
is clean and welcoming, and there are activities for the residents to take part in, these activities are well attended, and everyone seems to enjoy them. I have had no concerns about my husband since he has been living at the home, and I know if there were any problems the excellent staff could contact me immediately.

My father was well looked after at Kingswood Court Care Home. From my first visit to the home, I felt well supported and felt that the care was individual.
My father's end of life care was exceptionally good, delivered with great skill and care and compassion.

Mum came for respite over a two week period. She was treated with care, courtesy and dignity. When I came to collect her, she said she wanted to stay as she had enjoyed her time there so much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.875 for Barchester Kingswood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (441 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 473 Ratings = 4.875
  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 39 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 39 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.
