Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From our first contact in January to my dad entering Kings Court as a resident, Dad and I have had a very caring and considerate experience from all the staff. Nothing has been too much trouble. I live in New Zealand and have been in the UK to settle dad into care after his house sale. All my concerns
and worries about leaving dad have been met with kindness and a 'we will handle everything' attitude. Thank you so much to all at Kings Court.

On my first visit to Kings Court, I thought it was like a hotel. Very spacious, clean and airy, with helpful and obliging staff who smiled. On the tour round the care home I felt calm and happy vibe, the staff appeared to have a great interaction with the residents. There were a few things in my father
in laws room that needed sorting out on his arrival and they were addressed swiftly. My husband and I live in New Zealand, we both feel reassured that we have made the right choice for his care and he will be well looked after.

From my first contact with the manager who came to assess me, to today when I am leaving, I cannot fault the staff. They have all been excellent. The facilities are first class and are kept to a very high standard. I was only at Kings Court on respite following a full knee replacement so didn't join
in the activities as I had to keep my leg up to prevent the swelling in my foot and leg. I was treated with dignity and the staff could not do enough for me even when they were very busy. My overall experience was excellent and I will be back as I have to have another full knee replacement.

I was here to visit my grandmother for the first time, and I think it's a lovely place.
My grandmother says that she feels well looked after and we all can see that too!
Very clean and lovely place.
When I compare it to homes in Switzerland or Germany, this is a brilliant place for old people.
The
staff was ever so friendly and helpful, especially two of them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Until recently, my mother has never been able to fully accept that she needs to have wrap-around residential care. I feel that this acceptance is due to the level of care she receives and the degree of empathy shown to her by staff. I also think it relates to the confidence we both have in staff understanding
and taking into consideration her complex needs. I always feel I can ask to speak to a senior staff member to discuss any concerns. Thank you all.

Mum had to come into Kings Court following a house fire - I met the front-of-house manager on the 9th Jan and she showed me around and her chat gave me the confidence to bring Mum to Kings Court and all the staff are 100% excellent. Mum has settled well and is very comfortable. I would highly recommend
Kings Court to anyone.

Kings Court Middlebeck is truly a wonderful care home. It is warm, cosy, spotless and the staff are wonderful. I visit on a regular basis. The residents are always smiling, which is wonderful to see. The rooms have a home from home feel. Various activities take place, from entertainment, bingo, crafting
to name but a few. The front of house manager, is welcoming and sympathetic, and like the staff, is always prepared to go the extra mile. Thank you all.

Since our first visit, we have been impressed with the quality of the facilities offered at King's Court and the kindness, courtesy and care offered to residents. A particular strength is the quality of activities provided e.g a Christmas themed activity on offer everyday in December and the opportunity
for family to join their loved one on Christmas Day for Christmas lunch. We are more than happy with King's Court and all that they provide.

much too. Highly recommended.

My mother-in-law has been at King's Court for 3 months now.
I am very happy with the care she is receiving. Her room is bright and comfortable, her bathroom could not be better. Everything is very clean.
There is always plenty of staff available. The carers are cheerful and always ready to help.
They
do not impose any unwanted routine and she chooses when and what she does.
We had a lovely Christmas lunch with her and other residents: the lunch was superb!

My mum was admitted in August when we were about to return to Australia at short notice. The staff were fantastic and of great assistance. Mum is very happy in Kings Court and has a lovely room and enjoys the craft facilities and food.

We cannot rate Kings Court highly enough! Our relative was so apprehensive about residential care but Kings Court provides a real home-from-home atmosphere. We have watched our relative come alive again, eating wonderful food (with a glass of wine) living independently with help from the staff who are
all excellent and cater for the individual needs. Just wonderful.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for Kings Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 56 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 56 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.878 for Kings Court is calculated as follows: ( (592 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 664 Ratings = 4.878
  2. 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 Kings Court is based on 56 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 56 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
