I popped in to see my mother-in- law on Saturday 21 May. Was thrilled at the decor and the tremendous effort that the Home Manager had gone to, in order to brighten up the home. The canvas paintings on the wall depicting local scenes is an inspired idea. The whole home seemed bright and fresh and well
looked after. Mother-in-law was in good form, happy and content and in good health. Couldn't ask for more.

Loving and caring staff. Going the extra mile. Always find them on hand to attend to all needs. Attentive and watchful over all the house mates. Ensure that they are always clean and that they finish their meals.

My mother-in-law continues to receive a very high standard of care. We are kept up to date with any issues. The fact that my mother-in-law is now in her 85th year, suffering from Huntington's Disease, which sadly prevents her from full communication, and is still happy and seemingly content, is testimony
to the care she receives in Kingsway. Without that devotion it is possible that she may not have survived as long as she has so far.

On first visiting this nursing home, I was impressed with its ambience what a lovely welcoming place. Since my mother has been admitted, my first impressions have been reinforced. The staff are so caring and professional. My mother had been bed-ridden for six months and within forty eight hours she
was sitting comfortably in a chair in her day clothes. I cannot praise this nursing home highly enough.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.551)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.551) out of 10 for Kingsway Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.456 for Kingsway Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 57 Ratings = 4.456

  • b) 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 4.095 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kingsway Nursing Home is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.5

    • ii) 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.595

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
