Review from Ann Z (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident for 3 years. During the time she was at Kingsthorpe View she was very well cared for by the carers, some of them excelled in the care given to Mum, they looked upon us as family. She passed away last month but during her end-of-life days, the comfort and care we received, from
all the staff and management, made it a time of love and more bearable. It is a lovely, clean and well-run nursing home.
Reply from Fiona Gilbert, Manager at Kingsthorpe View Care Home

Thank you Ann for your lovely review. I am glad your Mum's last weeks and days were made more bearable for you, your family and Mum. Your Mum is sadly missed by the team here at Kingsthorpe View.

My mum has been at Kingsthorpe View Care Home for 6 + years, She has dementia. She is happy nearly all of the time, and the carers and staff treat her with dignity, love and respect. They accommodate all of her needs. If I have any concerns, worries or questions, the manager and staff are always available
and willing to help.
In the last few months, the home has been beautifully decorated, including the rooms, which are very bright and airy. I am always happy and content with the care my mum is getting, and I am happy in the knowledge that she is safe and has her needs met.

The staff at Kingsthorpe View are amazing and an asset to the care home. They go above and beyond to help my dad and myself. Past few months have been very difficult with losing my mother to cancer and my dad coming to Kingsthorpe with dementia. I would really like if my dad could stay here as the care
provided is fantastic and out of this world.

Review from Janice V (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When it was inevitable that my father would have to be moved to a nursing/care home, I had serious concerns regarding the care and general empathy that he would be receiving. Right from the initial contact with Kingsthorpe View, all the people were very reassuring, professional, pleasant, smiling and
helpful. Everyone we had contact with, did their utmost to make Dad welcome and comfortable. In the short time he was there, he found many new friends with the staff who made him laugh whilst still giving him the utmost care. It was obvious to us that they really cared and were concerned about his wellbeing and I shall be forever grateful that in my dad’s final days, he had their care and support.
Needless to say, I would recommend Kingsthorpe View most highly.
Reply from Heidi Page, Manager at Kingsthorpe View Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review for the care and support your amazing dad received from the care team here at Kingsthorpe View, he was a lovely man and you could not help but laugh and smile with him. We wish you and your family all the best, keeping him in your heart.

My mum was moved into Kingsthorpe View Care Home after hospital assessment and discharge in March 2023. Management and all levels of staff have all worked so hard to ensure Mum's care needs are fully met. Mum's fellow residents also have complex and challenging needs. All residents are treated with
great kindness and respect. Food is ordinary but nourishing and residents' nutrition is well monitored. The living areas are clean and safe with good, level floors. Everyone working at Kingsthorpe is kind and helpful.

Staff cannot do enough for the people in their care. Standard and duty of care is excellent. They are totally quality people doing a very hard job with long hours and lots of mental, emotional and physical expectations. They never moan or ignore, nothing is too much, the management run a strict and
considerate home with all the qualities you want and expect for your loved ones. Ten out of ten.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been at Kingsthorpe nearly a year, when it came to putting my mum into residential care it was heartbreaking. When I read the CQC I felt we had let my mum down. My mum has vascular dementia and at 84 my dad was unable to cope, due to dementia she had become violent toward my dad so we had
no choice.
The home and staff are amazing, they treat my mum with such care and dignity, nothing is too much trouble. You can see that they love the residents and love their jobs.
During the Covid-19 crisis, they have stepped up to another level if that was possible, keeping the family informed of any changes to mums health both physical and mental. Yesterday we saw my mum for the first time in 20 weeks, the staff have done an amazing job during this pandemic and we will never be able to thank you enough and if it was up to us, you would have the biggest pay rise ever. I know we are not allowed to mention anyone’s names in reviews but I want to say a special thank you to two people yesterday.

I was very nervous putting my mum into respite care, but the facilities and staff in the residential unit have been fantastic. The care my mother received from the staff has been wonderful and I never worried about the care she received.
Her room was very peaceful and homely and she has made friends.
I
would recommend Kingsthorpe View to everyone who wants peace of mind when thinking about future care for an elderly relative.

My dad was very difficult when he first came here, violent and verbally abusive. He is now much calmer, very happy and rarely has any outbursts compared to 3 years ago. Staff are fantastic with him and very supportive to the family. I couldn't be happier with dad's care.

I have been going with my best friend to see her husband once a week for about 2 years. I find the home and staff very warm and welcoming. All the staff are genuine in their care for my friend's husband. I am offered a cup of tea every visit, plus special days to join the lovely buffets. Staff treat
all the residents that I have met with the utmost respect. The home is always clean and warm.

When visiting my father-in-law the staff are really helpful, they explain everything concerning him. My father-in law has settled in really well in this home and he seems a lot happier that he has been for a while. He's eating better and the staff talk to him better than any other home he's been able
to.

Staff are pushed too much. No permanent nurse. Staff are very friendly and you can see they try their best, but underpaid, overworked staff is not good for any home. The amount of money people pay to be in here. Food and watered down juice and budget food is poor. Cut back with elderly is SAD!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.919)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.919) out of 10 for Kingsthorpe View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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 4.519 for Kingsthorpe View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (50 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 81 Ratings = 4.519
  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 4.4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kingsthorpe View Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.7
  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.
