Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Kings Court nearly two months ago and settled very quickly. She now has a better quality of life and enjoys socialising with all the residents. The staff are outstanding, the food is excellent and tailored to Mum's dietary needs. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. We are
very grateful for all the wonderful care she receives.

A wonderful, caring community of staff and residents who make the most of this wonderful newly built care home. The facilities are outstanding and the engagement with the local community, including the local Primary School or the Royal British Legion for Armistice Day, make this a very special place.
My parents have been very happy here and they really appreciate the warmth and individual care they receive every day. A huge thank you to the Kings Court team.

Review from P C (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved to Kings Court in August initially for a 2-week respite stay, making the decision to remain on a permanent basis as she likes the facilities on hand and says the carers are very kind and 'always know what to do.' The food is very good at Kings Court, all homemade and is something Mum enjoys,
especially the mid-am/pm 'treat tray!' The family can book to join her for meals. I like the fact the home is not routine-bound and responds to Mum's needs - if she's had a bad night, they let her sleep in, and she has breakfast when ready. Visiting is unrestricted, and the family can phone the home phone to talk with Mum. The front of house, handyman and laundry ladies have been very helpful. Management is visible at the home and approachable if I have had any concerns, sometimes improving consistency of care by different carers/shifts? I would also say that the standard bedrooms could be slightly larger, especially given the 3/4 size beds (which Mum loves) that take up more space.
Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Kings Court

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is very important that the home works for our residents – this is not just our home; it is theirs, and they should be able to have visitors, sleep in or have a treat whenever they want!

Excellent care in this home. My friend lost her glasses and straight away the carers were very helpful, and soon they relocated the missing item. I love the visits from the pets. They give pleasure to my friend. The staff were very helpful when I was sorting out an outing. Overall very happy with the
service at this care home.

Everyone in the care home is friendly, welcoming and has my father as their priority. The food and accommodation are superb. Security is also a key priority.

All very clean. Staff all kind and caring. Very nice surroundings, best nursing home I have visited and I have visited a lot too. I have been their carer and still like to keep in touch, as we have become friends. All in all, top marks for this care home. I would definitely recommend it to others.

From the moment my mother came to stay at Kings Court she has been made to feel very welcome and cared for. Her needs are met and she seems to be coping well and is happy. The staff are excellent, very caring, patient and understanding. The environment is lovely and I feel reassured my mother is in
such a lovely care home.

My mother came to Kings Court reluctantly for respite due to her dementia. All the staff have been exceptionally caring, coaxing her to join in the daily activities and treat her with care and dignity she deserves. Kings Court is like a hotel, well decorated, all areas are light and spacious. The bedrooms
are well laid out and brightly decorated. A big thank you to all the staff.
Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Kings Court

We know that many residents, especially those with dementia, can feel unsure or reluctant about coming into any home, it’s such a big step, but we are confident that once they join us at Kings Court they won’t want to leave! You are right, our staff are exceptional and we are so proud of our fabulous team.

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.
