It was difficult to keep track of meal times because of shift changes and different methods of communication. I found the medical staff seemed to be more interested in complying with rules and regulations than practical matters and there was a lack of coordination among these members. The exception
was the nurse who cleared a blockage in my catheter, although I was unable to establish whether she was staff or agency.

I can't express how pleased and grateful we are as a family to have been able to get my husband into Kingsclear. At first, we weren't sure if they had space or could satisfy his complex needs. We needn't have worried! He is content, fairly happy (he has dementia so it does impact that), so well looked
after and well fed! He is safe which is so reassuring. He has an abundance of activities etc, which he is encouraged to join in.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Kingsclear

Thank you for your amazing review, Jan! We're so pleased to hear that your family feel assured in your husband's care and that he's enjoying the many activities we put on at Kingsclear. We strive for personalised care for our residents so our team will be thrilled to hear your lovely feedback.

My mother has been in for respite and she is settling well. The home is welcoming, beautifully furnished and the staff and carers have been more than helpful. It is highly likely that Mum will stay with this home permanently, as a family we are all very happy with this decision.

A close family friend moved into Kingsclear at the end of last year. She was really reluctant about the idea of moving into a home to start with. However the management were helpful and reassuring that she is going to be in good hands. And she is!
Over the months that she has been there, I have noticed
that she has become a lot happier, despite all the age-related challenges. She has become more social and even made new friends!
The overall atmosphere feels great and there are different activities available each day. My friend has only said positive things about the home, staff and food!

My mother and father have been here for 4 months. The staff have been excellent in helping them to settle and have quickly picked up on how to manage their needs.
Management are very approachable and are very aware of what is going on within the home. I would highly recommend Kingsclear.

Kingsclear as a whole is a beautiful care home, the staff are very polite and caring. My mum is on the middle floor, with more and more residents requiring assistance when it comes to breakfast, lunch or dinner time more staff should be on hand. I also find that some of the some of the agency staff
can be a bit lapsy daisy whilst the normal staff are running around trying to do two things at once.

Kingsclear is a beautiful home. Service user tells me carers are good though don't always spend the time assisting in personal hygiene. Carers do not always listen when asked to cut food so struggled when eating.
Home activities can be repetitive and difficult to access unaided, though enjoys the singers.

The regular, experienced longer serving staff at Kingsclear do an amazing job. They show care and professionalism at all times. Despite the demands of the job, the staff have so much patience with Mum and know her well, her likes and dislikes. I can’t thank them enough. I regularly visit Mum and when
I’m not there, I feel confident that Mum’s needs are met and she is well cared for.

When visiting my aunt at Kingsclear my aunty who had dementia became distressed when she couldn't find her glasses. She had misplaced them previously but was always checking they were in her trusted bag. As she became more anxious I asked a member of staff if we could borrow a pair from their lost property
to prevent the situation from escalating. I was surprised when I was told this is not something that is done at Kingsclear. As a result, my aunt became upset and distressed in a situation I feel could have been avoided. There was no offer of advice or to check she was ok. It didn't help that when I arrived and asked if I could sit with my aunt in the dining room where she was sitting, the staff in the dining room told me she was not in there. I pointed out she was sitting at a table in front of them.

Heartbreaking experience with nurses and assigned GP saying they aren’t able to feed my mum as they aren’t familiar to her!
Begs the question what’s the point of dementia care homes? No distraction techniques used.
Hospital nurses were able to feed Mum daily. Her hygiene was also shocking with toenails
filthy and overgrown, no calls to make us aware.
Would recommend never sending any loved one here.

Unfortunately, after such a short time, I am unable to give a fair assessment of all the categories so I have rated them as satisfactory, I can only give my experience.
Three days in Mum became incontinent (due to diarrhoea, virus? Food?), had a fall, broke her hip, bad smell, not clean (floor, door
handles, light switch, handrail), apparently, food tastes funny, and room dark, dingy, depressing and dirty. Ensuite door bashes into shower rail, paper coming off the wall, no bath (Mum likes baths), tv controls sticky, that smell everywhere. The same morning she fell, two other residents fell all awaiting ambulances, three-hour wait on the floor (not the home's fault, and can't be moved in that situation) but no pain relief was given, no drink only at my request.
Mum has a horror of going back there, she says anyway the place is too big and impersonal and doesn't suit her, though she acknowledges it's a nice looking place, and says carers and other residents are very nice.

We’re sorry that your mother had this experience as this is not in line with the kind of positive feedback we usually receive. The well-being of the people in our care is our highest priority and we have passed your comments on to the team so that improvements can be made.

Kingsclear have been very welcoming and genuinely caring towards Mum since she arrived in September 2021 for respite care following an operation, she then decided to remain as a permanent resident. Regular reviews ensure we are kept fully informed of her care plan, with the opportunity to contribute
towards it. We are very confident in the clinical lead, who continually assesses and understands Mum's needs and ensures they are met by the team of nurses and carers. Staff, all of whom are positive and friendly, generally respond quickly and effectively to any questions or concerns we have. Mum enjoys the food, her room, the entertainment and the company of other residents. We are delighted she chose to live here.

My husband stayed here for two weeks respite care whilst I was away. The care was amazing and totally made his stay. Everything was amazing from the food to his room to the care. He loved the food and I think put weight on during his stay. Care was great and the management were amazing so helpful. If
I ever need support in the future it will definitely be this care home.

My brother came to stay at Kingsclear a month ago. The staff are so attentive to his needs and the care is top-notch, nothing too much. The activities team go above and beyond and on the 21st January they held another fantastic event celebrating Chinese new year, my brother loves joining in activities
or just sitting in the bistro chatting with relatives or residents. If you have a concern of any sort you know the managers are there to assist. His room is well-equipped with access to the gardens.

My friend has been living at Kingsclear since August 2022, she loves it there. When I visit we love either sitting in the bistro or joining in on one of the many events that the lovely activity team plan.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Kingsclear is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.756 for Kingsclear is calculated as follows: ( (304 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 352 Ratings = 4.756

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kingsclear is based on 28 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 97 registered maximum number of service users is 19.4, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

"As Home Manager, I believe that our residents should be treated with the highest quality of care possible and ensure that my team and I always maintain this, whilst making each day memorable. I lead by example and involve myself in the day-to-day life of our community as well as making Kingsclear a happy and enjoyable place in which to live and work.


I enjoy my daily walk rounds and getting the opportunity to see and chat with our residents, seeing them smile and make new friends.


I have worked in care since I was 18 when I started as a domiciliary carer and stayed in this form of care for over eight years where I progressed through various roles including supervisor and management roles. Within this time, I also passed my Level 5 in Health and Social Care Management.


In 2020 I joined Kingsclear as the Dementia Unit Manager, before being promoted to Deputy Manager and am proud to now be Home Manager, all roles have given me the opportunity to offer stability to the people living in our community and my colleagues.


At Kingsclear, we are one big family and everything we do is from the heart, delivering care with passion, respect, and empathy as we would want our own family members to be cared for.


The local area is lovely and it is important to us that our home is part of the local community, we always look forward to going out and welcoming the community into our home. In my spare time, I always look forward to spending time with my family when I get the chance."
