Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband has settled into Kingsley House very well due to all the lovely, caring staff. He is able to participate in and enjoy the various activities on offer and relates well to some of his fellow residents. He certainly seems to be enjoying the food as his waist has expanded! Like all care homes,
there are undeniable challenges in finding and keeping staff but I am confident that new staff members will soon settle in and enhance the jolly family atmosphere that pervades Kingsley House. I consider that both my husband and I are incredibly lucky to have such a home with such a manager in the centre of Tetbury and we are grateful for their care and compassion.

I have been very impressed by the standard of care provided by the home. All of the staff have been unfailingly polite and attentive. My mother settled in quickly and that was in large measure due to the efforts of the staff.

I am very impressed with Kingsley House. My husband transferred from another care home and was made so welcome by all of the staff. I find the level of care amazing. The home is run quietly but efficiently. The staff go about their work happily smiling and singing. The management is top class, very
caring and highly efficient.

When I arrived at Kingsley House Care Home I was given a very warm welcome by most of the staff, the manager, the staff and our cook. The manager does my shopping for me and we hope to go to the local swimming pool soon. I am in a very good bedroom with lots of space. I will be 80 years old in 2022,
my legs are helped with a stick outside and a frame inside. They should move well in the pool. I, like many others, would like to go out to church.

My wife appears to be being well looked after in the home. The home has an excellent manager and she deserves her recognition. It's been hard during covid times but sorting out visits to the pod and other issues has always been easy.

The wonderful staff at Kingsley House have looked after Mum for the last six years, it’s like one big happy family. I was kept informed if a problem arose which was great I could relax knowing she was safe. It’s spotlessly clean, excellent food and I can even recommend the homemade cakes which if you
timed your visiting right was always on offer. It is difficult to find enough superlatives to do this home justice, but it certainly gets the thumbs up from me.
Reply from Xyza Macutay-Malloch, Manager at Kingsley House Nursing Home

It was such an honour to look after your dear mum. We will surely miss her.
Thank you for all your support

I can not fault this care home. Grandad has been so well looked after in the times we were unable to see him, and we have been so fortunate that he is in Kingsley House. Their residents are lucky to have Kingsley House. We are so grateful for their care. We are grateful for how safe they have kept their
residents. Thank you for everything and looking after our grandad.

From the moment I went to look around Kingsley House, I could tell that it is a warm and welcoming environment. My mother needs nursing care 24 hours a day and her needs are constantly changing. The staff are very attentive and astute with their care. The rooms are a good size and it really helps that
you can bring objects, furniture and photos from home. The home is very secure and safe. There are regular activities and entertainment for the residents.

Review from Jane W (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum passed away on 25th March 2019 having spent the last 3 years at Kingsley House. The care and management of mum as a resident was exemplary. With a diagnosis of mixed dementia, Mum was vulnerable and very anxious following a traumatic hospital stay. The staff made her feel safe, maintaining her
dignity and providing the care she needed, this was evident by the way she progressed in a very short time. Living 35 miles away I was kept informed of any changes to Mum’s medical needs and was able to respond quickly. We felt part of the family of Kingsley House, always a smile on arriving from the staff and the nursing staff and manager available for a chat. The end of life care was so lovely giving us the chance to be with mum at all times, supported and cared for. Mums advance care planning was implemented and she had a very peaceful and pain-free end. This was not Mum’s care home, it was her home with staff who loved and cared for both mum and her family.
Reply from Xyza Macutay, Manager at Kingsley House Nursing Home

In behalf of the whole team, thank you so much for all these kind and overwhelming words... It was a pleasure caring for your mum!

My mum is very well looked after at Kingsley House. It has a lovely atmosphere. All the staff we have come into contact with are very friendly and always happy to talk to us. My mothers face lights up when the staff walk in, which to me is a sign that she is happy and well cared for.

My mum is very well looked after and she is contented with her situation.
She always looks clean and tidy whenever myself or my sister visit her and the staff are friendly and caring towards her. The home is very well managed and we are kept informed of any change in her health. The home also organises
any routine or unplanned hospital visits and provide access to other personal care facilities, eg hairdresser, chiropody.
Overall, my sister and I are very pleased with the standard of care provided to our mum.

I cannot praise the staff at Kingsley House Nursing Home enough. They are all so friendly and make time to listen and respond to all questions and requests. Both my parents are resident there and every effort is made to make them feel safe and at home.
Visitors are made to feel welcome and involved
in the care of relatives. The standard and professionalism of the staff is outstanding and they treat the residents with utmost respect and courtesy.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.871)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) out of 10 for Kingsley House Nursing 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.871 for Kingsley House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 116 Ratings = 4.871
  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 Kingsley House Nursing Home is based on 10 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 10 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.
