Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother seems so much more relaxed since moving to Kinds Park. She still has moments of days of angst, but generally, they are fewer than in her previous care home. I feel a great sense of respect between carers, patients and a lot of kindness and friendliness is evident.

Highly pleased with the level of service provided and the day to day care given.
All the staff are kind and supportive both to my wife and to me as a visitor.
Kept informed at all times of any changes to her care.
Needs the refurbishment to take place to improve the overall facilities.

My wife was at Kings Park Care Home for 6 years from August 2011 until passing away late June 2017.
All the time she was there she was well looked after. Always clean and dressed.
How the staff managed I don't know. I would and did regularly recommend the home.

Can't thank the staff of Kings Park Care Home enough for the care and love they gave to my wonderful mum in her last year who sadly passed away despite all their best efforts. I know she was happy here and I couldn't have found anywhere better for her. I would recommend Kings Park Care Home to anyone
now needing this level of care and can assure relatives they would have no need to worry about their loved ones.

Dad was admitted in January 2017 after a long stay in hospital and has settled within the home. He enjoys the activities the home offers. The staff are attentive and were keen to know dad's background/family etc prior to admission so they can engage him in conversation. Staff treat residents with dignity
and respect. Dad says these girls are great, they look after me well. I am happy with the care he receives.

My dad has been living at Kings Park for about 3 weeks. I have found the staff extremely friendly and supportive. The staff not only do an excellent job in looking after my dad but they are very supportive for us as a family. They understand and have shown empathy when the decision was made that my
dad needed nursing care.

Review from V B (Wife of Resident) published on 6 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was transferred to Kings Park after being in hospital for the majority of 3 months. It was overwhelmingly emotional to leave him in surroundings and among staff that we didn't know. However, within the first few days I could see that the level of care and support that he was getting, was
wonderful. All the staff were kind and very caring and I realised his needs were being completely met.
I also had support which was much needed and I am extremely grateful for that. I visit regularly and stay for many hours throughout the days. I have seen the care and kindness they give to all the residents who all have different needs. They have been most welcoming to both of us and also to our family and friend. (They too have said how good the level of care is). Over the past fews weeks, I have felt very relieved and satisfied that the staff are providing the appropriate level of care which my husband needs and deserves. I can't thank and praise them enough.

Grandad is happy and is well looked after. He is treated with dignity and the nurses and management are happy to listen and to help with any problems that may arise. He enjoys getting his hair cut, going out for a pub lunch with the care home and he seems to have a great relationship and rapport with
staff.

My mum has been in Kings Park Care Home for four years, she has had the best care, and I'm totally satisfied with the management and all the staff. Mum is settled here and we think between us we are giving her all the necessary care and help possible in her final days. God willing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family, we could not be more pleased with the care my mother receives. The home is always clean. My mother's clothes are always clean and her room kept spotlessly. When visiting the staff always speak to us about how mum has been. They always offer a drink and make sure there is somewhere to sit.
You can tell that the staff really care for mum and the other residents. The atmosphere in the home is excellent. My mother could not be better cared for.

My aunt has recently moved to this home and this review is based on my first visit. The staff were great and made me feel welcome, they gave me the confidence that my aunt was being looked after and that her needs were being attended to. The home was clean and tidy, the décor was bright and cheerful.
My aunts room was also of the same standard. I am quite happy for my aunt to stay here and will post more reviews in due course.

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.
