Review from A F (Resident / Service User) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I have only been at Kingfisher 7 months and have been welcomed by staff and service users. The level of care is very high from house keep, support worker and management. Everyone is professional, caring and skillful. The OT programmed is exceptional their plenty to do. This is my forever home where I can retire in a safe caring home.
