Kington Court is an extremely welcoming, friendly and caring home. Our mum is so settled here now. The staff are a stable team with a great deal of experience. They all show great kindness and professionalism with Mum. Her overall well-being has improved greatly, she looks better, feels safer and happier.
She is surrounded by her own things in her room which adds a touch of 'home'. The home itself is extremely well kept both in and outside. There is an emphasis on care and laughter and Mum loves the staff and they her!

Review from P C (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 6 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting a resident With my Sister on a Thursday for many weeks.
He had a stroke 9 or 10 vears ago, which left him with damage to his right side and lost his speech altogether. He has been in Kington Court for over 9 vears. He is quite shy and unable to mix well.
He has a very pleasant
room to himself with a television he watches
every day. It is always on when we visit him.
The Nurses and Staff are wonderful With him especially because he cannot communicate with them as normal.
He is very cosy in the room and looks well & healthy. His meals are brought to him every day & enjoys them all.
He really does look clean & well cared for. We cannot praise everyone enough for all they do there, well done to you all.

Kington Court is lovely. The staff are kind and caring. The home is immaculate. Dad's hygiene needs are always met and he is always smart. There are suitable activities which suit different tastes from church, magicians, wreath making, animal visits to choir. It is excellent. Settling in takes a while
and the staff help work through the emotions we went through.

My family are exceptionally pleased and satisfied with the whole of Kingston Court. My mother started living here in one of the flats then when her needs increased she moved seamlessly upstairs. They welcomed her warmly and helped the transition. We feel she is brilliantly looked after. Particularly
helpful with the flats and moving was the lady on reception. An improvement - Visitors being able to use the electric car charge when we've come a long way.

Mum is always very well cared for, as she is completely bedbound and cannot do anything for herself and cannot communicate at all. She always appears happy and relaxed.
The staff attend to all her needs including feeding her. All staff are very friendly when I visit, often making me tea, and keep me
updated with Mum's condition!
Although I see lots of activities on social media happening Mum cannot take part.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for Kington Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.993 for Kington Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (298 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.993
  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 Kington Court Nursing Home is based on 25 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
