Kingsmills Care Home

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.

I am writing to thank the staff of Kingsmills Care Home for the excellent care they have provided for my parents for the best part of two years. In particular, I would like to thank everyone involved in my mum's trip to see her best friend at a local care home using the "wishing well" service. My mum and I were taken to the care home, collecting flowers on the way and then they spent a couple of very happy hours talking about times gone by. They were both thrilled to see each other and it was lovely to see them talking so happily together. Thanks again to everyone involved.

Kingsmills is very good and comfortable and staff are very nice and helpful.

Am happy with the level of care I receive in the home. I get on with all the staff.

Kingsmills Care Home is a friendly and welcoming care home with fantastic staff - I cannot praise them highly enough for the assistance they have provided to my mother since she moved in 6 months ago.

During a traumatic and stressful point in my mother's life, they cared, nurtured and assisted my mother through the change in moving into assisted care facilities from her own home and a rapidly worsening illness, all while reassuring me that they would get her through this and back to being her old self. My mother is now so happy and cannot sing the praises of the home, staff and activities highly enough, and would happily recommend the transition from living in her own home to Kingsmills Care Home to anybody who asked her. The staff have also worked tirelessly to improve my mother's confidence and ability in being able to walk and move about unaided - and my mother recently delighted in demonstrating this to me - a sight I have not seen for over 2 years and did not expect to see again! One word - excellent!!

Newly admitted (3 weeks) very settled in here- very happy with everything.

The first thing that is noticeable - there is now a fresh smell as you enter and although this lady requires pads, I have never encountered an odour. Very friendly staff, from management to carers. I think that carers require a better salary and one extra carer would help! No time for love!!

My Mother's century celebrations were excellent and staff went out of their way to be helpful.

My Aunt was only in the home for six weeks, but I couldn't have asked for a better place for her to be cared for at the end of her life. The staff were all extremely caring, helpful and kind. Nothing was any trouble and the staff were always keen to respond to suggestions and requests. The atmosphere was lovely; calm and clean, with happy staff willing to have fun, and yet also to be supportive in a time of anguish and my aunt clearly loved the food! The care she received means a lot to me.

My mother has been in Kingsmills Care Home for 2 years now and has benefitted enormously from the considerate and professional approach of the staff which has enabled her to retain as much of her abilities as possible. She has enjoyed the companionship of other residents and seems very content.

My husband is very happy in his own little world, always remembers me. The staff are wonderful, always happy. Like the activities and entertainment. Always something going on. Activities are excellent and I enjoy it myself. Good food, my husband was never fussy. Management approachable and the overall care is excellent.

Very friendly staff. Always caring and cheerful. Early days as husband has only been in home since October 2016. He is quite reclusive but staff try very hard to encourage him to participate.

Kingsmill is a friendly and welcoming care home with lovely staff. The manager and her team work extremely hard looking, after all, their residents and they are friendly and supportive relatives. They are always trying out new ideas and recently introduced music in the lounge which the residents really enjoy and sometimes sing along to. Recently the staff put so much effort into ensuring the residents had a lovely Christmas from carol singing a visit from Santa and a lovely Christmas buffet. It's the little things that matter.

My mother had the best care we could possibly have wished for. For someone who only enjoyed the art class and chatting to other residents at meal times. Well trained staff who know how to encourage residents to accept their help a very important skill and one which enabled my mother to appreciate being cared for and thus enjoy her last two years in comfort and security. Our family know she was in good hands and we cannot thank Kingsmills Care Home enough.

As a family, we are delighted with the excellent care, concern and consideration shown by all staff towards our relative who is happy and settled in the care home environment. Kingsmills Care Home has a welcoming and nurturing ethos and the staff are always friendly and approachable to us when we visit or telephone. The staff work diligently to ensure a very high level of care is delivered and recently I have recommended the care home to several people. Wonderful staff. Superb care.

Very good with lots of information.

Kingsmills Care Home is one of the better care homes that I have been to with lovely, kind and friendly staff. The care home is always very clean.

I have always found the home welcoming, staff cheery and open to discussions. The facilities are very clean and residents are looked after to a high standard. Meals are varied and appetising. What visiting always given tea/coffee in the lounge where we can sit and talk in private. Activities for the residents are so enjoyable and they are so happy to join in. I have recommended Kingsmills to friends as I feel this is a safe and reliable nursing home where the family/friends and residents are well catered for and looked after.

My mother and father moved into Kingsmills Care Home around one year ago and felt very welcome from day one. Their rooms are bright, comfortable and clean, with easy access to their day room and dining room. There are daily activities, regular trips out. The restaurant and standard of meals are varied and delicious. All the management, nursing and care staff are excellent. Every single one of them is friendly, caring and professional. This ensures both residents and relatives are confident that the care provided is of the highest standard, with this care and support available their safety and security are guaranteed and everyone is treated with respect and dignity they deserve. A first class care home!

The clothes washing of residents is efficient. Food is of a good standard and there are varied activities which are enthusiastically promoted by the relevant staff. Residents are carefully monitored both in their daily routine and general health, while preserving whatever independence they are still capable of. The home is well situated with a pleasant, secure rear garden area.
