Kingsmills Care Home Reviews (82)
Kingsmills Care Home has a Review Score of 8.8 (8.761) out of 10, based on 7 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Kingsmills Care Home has 82 reviews.
Regularly visit our 104-year-old lady friend. We always find her very well looked after and feel pleased with the care given to her.
I found the overall atmosphere, cleanliness and staff to be friendly, extremely clean and homely. My friend looked well cared for and was treated with respect and care.
It was wonderful to see how my friend, after almost 2 years of residence in the Home continues to enjoy living with such supportive staff.
I felt that her own room was clean and bright and pleasant for my friend to live in. In fact, she is happy there and adores many of the staff. The main dining room was adequate for the guests, cello player (with the young piper outdoors) and I would recommend the staff especially for congratulations! Well done, all around.
Thank you for your positive review, we're delighted to hear how much your friend enjoyed her birthday celebrations. The team will be very pleased to hear your lovely comments.
First impressions are exactly that. On each occasion, I've always been greeted with a friendly face, and just as importantly a smile!
The home itself, always looking spotlessly clean but also has that "homely" feel which, sadly seems missing in most caring establishments in modern times. Many have too much of a clinical feel to them. But not Kingsmills, Inverness. Beautifully furnished and decorated.
I've visited many such homes in the past and understand that staff are under pressure and time is a valuable resource to all but it never seems too much trouble when I'm visiting my friend, always someone on hand to answer any questions and concerns I might have.
I would definitely recommend anyone considering a residential care setting for either themselves, a friend or a family member.
Thank you for your positive comments about our home, they are wonderful to read. The Home Manager and team will be delighted to receive your feedback.
He is encouraged to still use the skills that he still has which is a great comfort to me.
All staff also show much comfort to me as emotionally it was very hard for me to make this decision for nursing care.
The home is clean and everybody is cheery as they all work together and provide excellent standards of care.
What wonderful comments to read about our home. At Kingsmills, our team are dedicated to providing the best possible care for our residents, and of course this also means giving excellent support for families as we understand what a difficult decision it is choosing a care home for a loved one....
My sister has been a resident for a short period. This is my first personal contact with a care home. The approach and parking is very good. Security is as normal in homes. Homes appearance is pleasing. Rooms could be a bit bigger and ensuite is cramped for anyone using a walker. No showers included only disappointment. Food and presentation very good and staff are generally interested in residents.
Thank you for your positive review of our home. At Kingsmills, we pride ourselves on the high standard of care that we offer, including our dining experience, so it is great to hear that you find the food to be ‘very good’. Our rooms have recently been refurbished to the highest specifications, and...
This is an excellent care home. The staff are very helpful & friendly.
Thank you for your positive comments about our home, the team will be delighted to hear your feedback.
Since my father came to stay at your nursing home it seems as if he is getting better. This is not possible due to his illness, but with his perfect care with you he is able to be the best he can. I thank you, all the staff are such fun and mum and I enjoy our visits with dad. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comments. It's so good to hear that your father is receiving the very best care and that you really enjoy your visits to the home.
Mum has only been in Kingsmills a few weeks after transferring from another home in Inverness. The care from carers and nursing staff in Kingsmills is far superior to her previous home. I can now relax knowing she is showered regularly, clothes changed daily and communication by staff to me about Mum is first class. If I were to point out one negative is that more activity coordinators are needed to ensure out of house activities.
Thank you for your positive comments about our home. It is great to hear you think the care given to your mum is excellent and our communication is ‘first class’. Our Magic Moments Club offers a range of activities and fun things to do that are open to all of our residents. Getting outdoors and...
Mum was admitted as emergency respite and from initial contact has been made very welcome and well looked after. Now a resident she has improved vastly which may be put down to the care she is receiving and the company, both staff and other residents that she now has. Variety of outings and social events passes the time for them all and everyone seems to enjoy themselves. Staff could not be more helpful and always seem to be cheery.
Clothes/items go missing, some are located sometimes.
More variety in food.
Portions need to be a bit larger.
Each resident has a food passport that documents their likes and dislikes and they are always given a choice of food at mealtimes. Further to this, we hold...
I have visited my old friend since she was admitted and I cannot fault the care.
Pleasant and highly competent staff, always made welcome whilst visiting.
I am happy that mum is here in her twilight years.
Food appears good and menu options well chosen.
Always warm and comfortable for residents.
Staff very friendly and helpful to relatives and answer any questions. In case of emergencies, they are always in contact with families and good at keeping them updated.
Things of little importance of my mother's go missing from time to time but this seems to be normal, as rooms appear open to all residents.
Kingsmills Care Home, in my opinion, is very clean and well maintained, very friendly and attentive staff. I have peace of mind knowing my uncle is very well cared for, he seems very happy and content.
Good choice of food and lots of activities for the residents.
Mum has lived in Kingsmills Care Home for around 4 years. Although she was initially very reluctant to move there from her own home, she quickly became very happy. She is kept nicely dressed, loves the food, the staff treat her like a person and are affectionate, especially the music and going out for a run in the minibus. We feel that the home strive to maintain good standards and if there are any issues we are notified of them but without panic. We have peace of mind regarding mum's care.
I was very ill when I was admitted - suffering from a severe psychosis brought on by an overdose of prescribed drugs for Parkinson's disease.
Thanks to the care and attention I have received at the home I am now well on the way to recovery.
Certain carers have been key in this as has been the excellent food and watchful care.
All is very well managed, unobtrusively.
The staff are friendly and hospitable.
My husband's admission to the home was traumatic for us both.
Our main concern was the administration of continuous oxygen, we lacked confidence in this aspect of care, the staff acted on this by undertaking in-service training - restoring our confidence.
My husband would benefit from some one-to-one activities being introduced.
I always find the staff very welcoming when I visit my aunt and have gotten to know some of the other residents. I would like to see more activities for the residents as I feel that there is little stimulation for them and it is really sad to come into the lounge where people sit and sleep with the TV on with no one watching and absolutely no conversation.
