I visit a neighbour/friend at least once a month.
Whenever I visit I find the whole place welcoming and immaculately clean and tidy. The staff always welcome me with smiles, offer coffee and are only too pleased to aid me if I need any help. Add to what I say it is easy to get to and has excellent

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was admitted in January 2023 in a poorly, depressed state but with the encouragement and support from all the staff, a huge improvement has been achieved. He is now settled and back to stable health and a happy mental state. Kington Court Nursing Home is an excellent nursing home. It has homely
rooms, smiling faces, lots of activities and very welcoming. Nursing staff and carers are attentive and demonstrate interest and concern for my father's well-being. I am extremely satisfied with the care my father receives. All the staff are very special people and the home is a special place. I can't recommend it enough.

Review from Julie C (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were extremely anxious about Mum coming to a care home but our anxieties were removed on the first phone call. We are always greeted with a cheery word and a smile by all members of staff. Any queries are acted upon instantly and resolved. Mum feels safe and that this is her home. You've done miracles,
mum came to Kington Court not eating and not able to support her weight. In 24 hours she was sat up in bed with a cup of tea, chatting to the carers. Thank you.
Reply from Libby Knight, Home Manager at Kington Court Nursing Home

Witnessing her progress, enjoying a cup of tea, and engaging with our carers, is truly inspiring.

Excellent in everyone from day one. The person in charge is excellent at her job, very helpful in every way.
I am extremely pleased with every member of staff, they are so kind and helpful. My brother has been here for three months in a few days, I am very pleased with food, he looks so much better
and is well-fed. He's kept clean and tidy. The young carers have given him a marvellous shave if you see photos from when he arrived to now, you would see the difference. Thank you to everyone.

The family and I are extremely grateful for the care that Mum receives. As Mum's dementia and condition deteriorates, it is so reassuring to know Mum retains the quality of life I was unable to maintain through independent living. Mum receives great care, support and dignity, especially from her core
care team. Thank you for all you continue to do. Mum would have died years ago I feel, without your professional care home setting.

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.
