Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had the worst 2 years ever and it has been a real struggle finally things feel like they are starting to get better and I will be able to see my mum more. Throughout this time the staff have kept everything going even though there have been staffing problems due to the circumstances all care
homes have found themselves in and they have come through with flying colours. I am aware it was also a very difficult time for them having to deal with relatives' families who were worried stressed and upset by not being able to see their loved ones but they were always helpful and assuring. So a big thank you to all the staff. The home always looks welcoming. The reception always looks nice and bright and decorated for every occasion. The home has a very high standard of cleanliness. The staff are always helpful and know us by name and there are regular activities for the residents. All in all they have done a great job getting us all through this.

My mum has only been in the home a short while, but within this time the staff have always been helpful and have always taken care of her so well, although sometimes she can have very challenging behaviour. I cannot fault the communication they have had with me and always provide me with updates when
I call or attend to visit my mum. They go above and beyond and myself and my family are extremely appreciative of the help and care they provide. The home is always clean and management are up to date with COVID restrictions without being insensitive to the family. I just want to say a big thank you and I would highly recommend this home to any one considering it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kings Park is an extremely well-led care home and the staff they employ are second to none. My mother-in-law has been a resident there for 10 months, and both my partner and I cannot fault the care she receives. The staff (without exception) are friendly, dedicated and will always give you the time
of day. You can also tell that major emphasis is placed on hygiene and cleanliness as her room and the communal areas are spotless. My mother-in-law is now bedridden and cannot participate in the activities the home provides, but we can tell that an effort is made to keep the other residents entertained. I feel confident that when we leave the Home following our visit, she is in safe hands and as a result of this and the above, I would definitely recommend Kings Park to others in our position.

Review from Liz (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident since April 2021, and from day one we have been impressed by the care the home provides. We are now allowed compassionate visits, and I see mum on a daily basis. During our many hours spent at the home, we have never been concerned about how she and the other residents are treated.
In fact, we have always been moved by the compassion, skill, and patience shown by the staff in often trying circumstances. Mum's room is always clean and we've noticed that the corridor areas etc are often being cleaned. The food must also be good too as mum used to eat everything that was put in front of her. Not only do all the staff look after the residents well; they take care of us too! We have always been kept up-to-date with news about mum, and I'm often cheered up by the staff when I've become a little tearful over her. They always remember our name and never fail to greet us with a smile. The cups of coffee are also much appreciated!

Excellent service through and through. Mum wouldn't be here today if we hadn't have found this nursing home, which was recommended to us. All the team members and staff are helpful, caring and understanding. They go above and beyond. My mum is well, happy and clean always. I am informed of all information
and what's happening at the home during this difficult time (waiting to get back to normal, hopefully soon).

My father moved into King's Park during Covid lockdown, I cannot thank the staff enough for all they did for my father during this difficult time. They continue to support and care for him magnificently, he is well looked after in every way. All staff are really nice, approachable and polite. They all
go the extra mile for my father. Everyone has made my mother feel welcome and relaxed during her recent visits since restrictions were lifted.

We have been extremely pleased with the home overall, it has taken some time for Mum to settle and the staff have supported her throughout the challenges. Although the last twelve months have been difficult with the restrictions, we have seen a notable change with the new management. Staff have communicated
to family constantly, listened and been equally supportive to the family with the challenges. Having missed her 90 birthday last year, we were extremely pleased to have part of the restrictions lifted, the staff made such a wonderful day for her and her family, we will be eternally grateful for that day. They were good that is why we chose them, now we feel blessed, they are all very much our extended family. Thank you!

I am very impressed with the improvements in the home since the new management team took over. I have not been able to visit for the last year because of covid restrictions but I have been kept fully informed about my relatives care and general health, with regular calls from the manager, deputy and
nurses. I'd like to say a big thank you to all the staff who have kept my relative safe throughout this awful time

Over the last 12 months it has been very difficult not seeing our loved ones but I can honestly say Kings Park are the best. The staff have kept us updated with calls, video calls and window visits. They have worked endlessly keeping our love ones safe whilst putting themselves at risk. I just want

I visited Kings Park Tameside this morning to visit my mum who I have not seen for 12 months and as usual, I am extremely impressed with all staff members - they made me feel very safe due to Covid. I have seen a big change in the home which is very welcoming and has a bright and homely feel.
I really
appreciate all the FaceTime calls with my mum and also all the updated information regarding my mum's care.
All I want to say is a big shout out and big thank you to everyone at Kings they all definitely need a medal.

I cannot praise this nursing home enough.
They are dedicated, caring, supporting and look after my mum with utmost dignity and care. I have had amazing support too. The home itself is well managed and is spotlessly clean and well decorated for their residents. The food is wholesome and served in a
lovely dining room. I have no hesitation in recommending this home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Kings Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.801 for Kings Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.801
  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 Park Care Home is based on 14 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
