I would like to say that the home was very good, and my mother was well cared for. The staffing levels were a bit of an issue. The home was well-run, I have no issues with any of the care given.

May we please thank ALL members of staff at Kings Court, for their kindness, care and attention shown to Dad and ourselves during his recent move to the home, and, sadly the last few weeks of his life. The care and attention shown, was very much appreciated and cannot be faulted in any way. One nurse
became a friend during Dads quite short, but well cared for stay.
Thank you ALL from the bottom of our hearts.
Reply from Jenn, Sales & Marketing Coordinator at Kings Court Care Centre

Our staff all strive to provide the highest level of care and I am really pleased that you felt we were able to provide this for your Father. Sincerest condolences to you all.

My sister suffered from serious dementia and lived at Kings Court for several months. Everyone was very helpful when she moved in and continued to be so. She had a lovely single room and it was noticeable how bright and airy the home is, with residents walking around and not shut in their rooms with
the doors closed. All the staff were always very attentive and helpful and prepared to talk to visitors. My sister needed constant care, and a big thank you is due to the particular staff involved in that. They carried out a difficult task in a very sympathetic way and always seemed to put her first, and be thinking of ways to try and make her feel better. The best nursing home I have ever been to. Thank you all.

Kings Court Care Centre made dad's final few months a happy time. He was given excellent care, by friendly, caring staff. We as a family would like to thank them all very much for looking after dad.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Aunt was a resident at Kings Court for nearly a year before her recent passing.


I would just like to say how thankful I am to your staff that cared for her, how she always looked clean and tidy, and well cared for and despite being told she was receiving ‘end of life care’ she always looked pain-free.


Whenever I visited Kings Court, along with my family members, your staff have always been helpful, approachable and very professional.


I am really impressed with the standard of care given to my Aunt during her stay with you, and would highly recommend this nursing home to others.


Her room was always spotless and always had clean laundry.


I can’t thank you enough for treating my Aunt with the respect and dignity she deserved.


Please thank all your lovely staff that looked after her, you should be very proud of every one of them, please pass on my thanks.

Review from Lorraine G (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kings Court Nursing Home is a very friendly homely home. The carers are very caring and look after the residents very well and work very hard. The kitchen, cleaners and laundry staff are all very helpful and hard working. Just like the carers, the nursing staff and management are excellent at giving
support and keeping you updated on your relative and keep you involved, very helpful.


The activities lady works very hard to organise events for the residents. It is a nice warm welcoming nursing home. I am happy with the care my mum gets and she is much better since she has been in Kings Court. 100% better from where she was and she is much happier than she was and looks better even with her dementia and needs.

My wife has been a resident here since July 2016 with vascular dementia. I have visited regularly and I am satisfied with the care the staff and management are very attentive to my wife's needs and I attend all care meetings. Any queries are dealt with promptly and courteously as most staff are from
abroad. The new company since September is an improvement and I am confident that my wife's care will be paramount. I have applied to do voluntary duties for them once my application is approved.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Nobody ever wishes their relatives to end their days in a care home. However, if they must I can't really fault the care given to my father. Dad was a very private person and his wishes were respected while maintaining an excellent level of care overall. The buildings obviously required maintenance
and were in a transition period during my father's stay. The staff could not have been better, a special thanks to four particular carers for making the very best of a bad situation. Very well done to everyone else. I will never forget you all.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.655)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.655) out of 10 for Kings Court Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.655 for Kings Court Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 267 Ratings = 4.655
  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 Kings Court Care Centre is based on 22 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 22 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.

Orsolya

Orsolya Szasz

Job Title: Manager Joined: 2023

Hello, my name is Orsolya (Ursula) and I am a proud NMC registrant as a Registered General Nurse and the Manager of Kings Court Care Centre.


I began my clinical career in my home country Romania in 2010 where I volunteered as a Paramedic for SMURD, an emergency care service. I qualified as a Nurse in 2012 and then moved- to the UK in 2013. I began my career in the health and social care industry in the UK as a member of the housekeeping team and then I moved into a Health Care Assistant role. I soon progressed into a Senior Care Assistant role in 2019 while I was working towards my NMC registration and I was delighted to earn my PIN number in 2020.


My first role as a RGN was during the height of the coronavirus pandemic which was challenging both physically and mentally but incredibly rewarding and resulted in my promotion to Clinical Lead.


A career highlight is my receipt of the Social Care Nurse Award; South West Regional British Care Awards 2020.


My journey with MMCG began in August 2021 and I moved into the Deputy Manager role in May 2022.


It is my goal to be a positive inspiration and influence for people who live, work, and visit Princess Lodge. I want to be a leader and Nurse who ensures that it is of paramount importance that the care centre is the service user's home and the team I work with put this into everything we do to provide quality care and support and feel like together we are a family.
