Review from S B (Friend of Resident) published on 14 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the second time my friend has stayed for respite care at Kings Court in Newark. I have been a regular visitor on both occasions. I have found the staff to be very caring and friendly, my friend was made to feel very welcome and cared for by all of them. The place, quite honestly is like a 5-star
hotel, the food is excellent and visitors are encouraged to stay for a meal with the residents. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and there are lounges and outside spaces in the garden to sit as well. All in all I would be very happy to have my relative/friend stay there and would hope that if the need should arise in my future there would be space for me to stay there too.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Kings Court

We'd like to take a moment to thank you for leaving such a wonderful review of our home. It means so much to our colleagues when they receive this level of praise; they work tirelessly throughout the year to deliver the kindest possible care to residents and hearing such fantastic feedback is really the icing on the cake to them! Thank you, once again, for your kind words.

A very hard and emotional decision to move Mum to Kings Court but a good one! Mum has settled very well, helped by supportive staff and twice daily activities that take place. Mum is treated with dignity and respect. Has a lovely spacious room with an excellent ensuite. There are numerous areas to sit
and chat and even a cinema room! Mum is very happy and we have peace of mind

Mum became a resident at Kings Court on May 10th. She has a particularly traumatic experience in hospital and a local rehab centre. In her words, she no longer wished to be alive. The care staff and support (everyone) here gently and considerately nursed her back to her 'old self'. She is beginning
to really enjoy life again. Yesterday she took part in chair yoga. She talks about how grateful sand lucky she is to be at Kings Court. I cannot thank the staff enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience was brilliant. It isn't like a care home, it's more like a luxury hotel! My mum went in for short-term care, and they really helped with her, she wasn't talking at all when she first went in after being in the hospital, but after a few weeks, we could see the difference. They were really
good with her. The actual care home is second to none, you cannot fault it. The activities, the surroundings, the rooms, the food, the list is endless! And all the staff show a lot of warmth towards the residents.
It was comforting to know she was being so well looked after. They were also excellent at keeping you informed of anything to do with Mum.
We were invited to dine with Mum on Christmas day, and what a lovely day it was, the staff did such a good job, it was very relaxed as always, the food was good, and it was great.
They are doing a great job.

The care home management team are informative and very welcoming. The staff are also very friendly and engaging with both residents and family members. The rooms are spacious and well appointed with excellent lounge and dining facilities. The respite care that my in-laws have received has been excellent
and we couldn't have asked for more. As a family, we are very grateful that they are in a safe and caring environment which gives us peace of mind.

Very welcoming staff when Mum and Dad first arrived and very good, attentive care since. Plenty of staff and carers who look after Mum and Dad really well. Varied activities to keep them busy and in very welcoming, modern, bright environment. New facilities with excellent rooms, communal spaces, TV's
and areas to relax. Very happy that Mum and Dad are in a nice, caring and comfortable place to live.
Initial assessments, care plans and liaison with the hospital when Mum was discharged was excellent which gave ys a lot of confidence and peace of mind.

I received a very warm welcome from the friendly staff. Kings Court has a very relaxed feel about it and is more like a hotel than a care home. It was very clean and well-furnished. My friend was very happy during her stay and actually extended it by another week. I would definitely recommend it to
friends and family.

My 100-year-old father spent 10 weeks here. He had a wonderful suite, beautifully appointed. The staff were marvellous, they spent lots of time with him chatting about his long life and achievements. The personal care was extraordinary, everybody gave much more, above and beyond the call of duty. The
meals were carefully thought out and beautifully cooked, catering to individual needs - he enjoyed his glass of wine with his dinner! His dignity was respected at all times - Thank you for all you did for him.

Mother has been a resident here since September and the level of care and quality of surroundings has been excellent. She is comfortable and all staff I have encountered have been really good and responsive to her needs. Very reassuring to know that she is being well looked after, thank you.

I wouldn't mind moving in to Kings Court myself as the facilities and care on hand look really nice. Although I haven't eaten at the home the food looks very good, with wine offered and also the regular snacks offered including ice creams! The kettle is always on for a cup of tea. It is well decorated
and nicely laid out and not like a traditional care home with chairs around the walls and no one talking to one another.

I couldn't imagine a better place for my granddad to be! The staff are incredible; they cater to every need and put thought into every little detail. The facilities are everything anyone could need. I feel a great sense of relief and pride that my grandad is in such trustworthy hands. I can go about
my days with no worries that he is ok and receiving everything he needs.

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.
