Overall I cannot complain of the standard of care my father receives. He has always been cared for in a dignified manner and any medical issues have been dealt with quickly with concerned commitment from the staff. The dedicated permanent staff at Kingscourt deserve praise for the caring they show to
the patients.

Every time we visit we are met by care staff with a smile and helpful. My sister-in-law is always clean and warm and does not seem distressed as we leave. We know that living at your own home is your first choice, but this is not always possible. Kingscourt are doing their very best. The staff are lovely.

Nice place to live, suitable for my grandmother. Lovely, caring and helpful staff, food needs to be improved upon and free out activities, but I am hopeful this will change in the future.

Really happy with Dad's placement at Kings Court. The staff are kind and caring and will always take time out of their busy schedule to catch up on how he has been since the last visit.
They have tackled Dad's complex needs brilliantly and are always flexible in how they manage him.
They have always
been in touch and talked us through any changes or needs, step by step.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care is very good my mum is always clean, only thing I would ask for is the TV is on different wall so she could watch it in day, my mum could do with some physio to get her moving and I think that would help, my mum is ok her day is a bit boring as she is not able to watch TV unless she's in bed,
my mum would benefit more if she went downstairs into day room for meeting people conversation and activities she just can't be bothered otherwise she's fine.

Review from Marie O (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 21 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My stepdad was a resident at Kingscourt for over 10 years following a severe stroke which left him paralysed on one side and unable to speak. He formed very close bonds with staff, including The kitchen staff. They communicated beautifully with him and he enjoyed the banter. The care was excellent,
often it went above and beyond. The most impressive care was the management of a leg ulcer which healed completely, against all the odds. His final days were truly humbling. The home worked closely with the hospital and home service. My stepdad was treated with such dignity and he was surrounded by staff and family who loved him dearly.
Reply from Macie Cox, Marketing Executive at Kingscourt Nursing HomeThank you so much for your such lovely words regarding Kingscourt! Your stepdad was such a joy to have here with us and we are so glad you were happy with the care here. If we can do anything to support yourself or your family please let us know!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Kingscourt for over 4 years and, when more able, enjoyed being with the other residents and joining in with the excellently organised activities. Due to her condition, she now spends the majority of her time in bed. Staff are kind, caring and engage well with the residents and create
a happy atmosphere in the home. At times, communication between staff and relatives could be better.
Reply from Macie Cox, Marketing Executive at Kingscourt Nursing HomeThank you for a lovely review of Kingscourt! Mum is such a pleasure to have living with us and we are glad she was able to join in with activities and that she has a good relationship with our staff. We have taken note of your comment regarding communication and will make sure this improves!

The staff were very caring towards Mum and worked hard to help her settle. The service managers were very kind and patient with all family members during our visits and telephone calls. It was difficult that Covid restrictions impacted on visiting, but the staff encouraged us to phone whenever we wanted.
We were very grateful for this.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.054)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.054) out of 10 for Kingscourt Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.279 for Kingscourt Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.279
  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 4.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kingscourt Nursing Home is based on 11 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 11 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.
