Private fees typically range from £1,300 to £1,450 per week, depending on the bedroom selected and the level of care and support required and resident complexities.

The staff are very good, they look after Painton very good, I'm so happy with all the staff. Very happy. Thank you so much.
Thank you Ghani, this means a lot to the team, I will ensure to share this with them. It was a pleasure to look after your lovely wife in her last weeks of life.
My friend was in a different care home and did not do well, but since moving to Kingsthorpe View, she is a different person, much calmer, she really has improved. Thank you.
Thank you for your positive review, so glad you feel your friend is doing well, I will share this with the team
Wasn't sure at first as never been through this experience before but the staff are lovely and are very helpful.
Thank you for positive feedback, I will ensure this is shared with the team
My mother-in-law has been at Kingsthorpe for nearly and we have been happy with the care she receives. The staff and carers are the best they go out of their way to make sure Mum has what she needs and is safe and clean.
Thank you for your positive review, this makes a huge difference to the team and I am glad you and your Mum-in-law are happy with the care provided.
The carers are friendly, caring and go out of their way to accommodate my mum's needs, Kingsthorpe View is clean and tidy and has been decorated to a beautiful standard. The manager and secretary are very approachable and friendly and I feel very confident that they would sort out any concerns I had should one arise. Overall, I am happy and content in the care my mum is receiving.
Thank you for your positive review, this makes a huge difference to the care team and I am so glad you and Mum are happy with the care provided at Kingsthorpe View.
When I visit, the staff are always accommodating and provide me with refreshments. The support my brother receives from staff gives me comfort knowing he is being looked after in a more than adequate way. Also, I am supported and reassured by them when my brother is upset or distressed. There is a generally good atmosphere and never feel unwelcome.
Many thanks for your positive feedback Veronica, it is very much appreciated by myself and the team here at Kingsthorpe View.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, I will ensure this is shared with Team KTV.
The staff make you welcome with a smile and offer you refreshments and always there for the residents.
Thank you for your review. I will pass this on to our staff team, they will be happy with the feedback. Regards.
Needless to say, I would recommend Kingsthorpe View most highly.
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.
Thank you for your lovely review. Your mum is doing so well. I will pass on your review to the staff team here at Kingsthorpe.
Haven’t scored a five as relatively new to this, but overall the service has been great and all the staff very accommodating. The meeting I recently attended was very helpful and informative from all that attended.
Thank you for your review. I'm glad to hear the meeting was helpful and informative. I will pass your review on to the supporting staff.
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.
Thank you for your review. It has been a pleasure supporting your relative during their stay with us. I will be printing your review for the staff team to read. We wish you all the best.
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.
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.
My brother's bedroom is spacious and modern.
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.
The staff at Kingsthorpe View always made us feel welcome and treated my mother like family, nothing was every too much trouble. They always went that extra mile in mother's last days, she was treated with the best care I could have asked for. My mum always spoke so highly of the staff.
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.
