Well designed areas, changing colour palette. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the guests. Roast beef lunch was excellent.

Review from Marion C (Resident) published on 5 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After spending two weeks of respite care in Kings Court. I am very happy to do a review. The carers were all professional and friendly. I would like to mention three in particular. The food and drink were plentiful and of good quality, the cooking was excellent and I particularly liked the fact that
fresh fruit was readily available. The laundry service was wonderful and clothes were neatly folded and returned to a drawer or hung in one's wardrobe. My room and bathroom were cleaned each day. I was so happy there that I intend going there for good in September of this year. I have two suggestions i.e. A second jigsaw pad would make like easier and I believe a 'music and movement' exercise class would benefit the residents.

Review from Malcolm P (Son of Resident) published on 29 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The management and staff of Kings Court are really exceptional. Kindness, diligence, empathetic caring, careful supervisory oversight and determination to deliver a rich weekly schedule of activities, characterise this care home.
From being fearful of how this would work out before we brought our
mother to live here in May 2023, we now are thinking that a care home such as this might be quite nice for ourselves when our time comes. I don't give top reviews easily, but I really cannot praise the care given by the team at Kings Court enough. Thank you all, you are so lovely.
I have only marked 'Rooms' and 'Value for Money' as 4* because having observed the lived experience over many tens of hours, I now realise that the standard bedrooms are perhaps a little small and I fear that the common living area and residents self-service kitchenette area will be too small as each wing reaches capacity, particularly at busy visitor times, even allowing for use of the garden rooms.
Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Kings Court

What a fantastic review for our team at Kings Court, thank you for taking the time to leave us this feedback. It’s so important to us that our residents and their loved ones feel supported in every way, whether that be through our exceptional standards of person-centred care or our exciting daily activities.
We also understand that moving a family member into care can be a worrying time, but we’re so pleased that those worries were put to rest by the team – and what better feedback could we ask for that you’d consider the same care for yourself. We hope you know that you’ll be very welcome when the time comes. Please do keep in mind that during your visits, you’re free to use absolutely any of the home’s facilities should you want a quieter place to spend your time, like the plush cinema room or the cosy quiet rooms. Thanks again!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Kings Court is a very caring care home, with very kind and attentive staff. The home itself is a wonderful place to be, in a nice setting and beautifully decorated. For Dad, the highlight is the food, which is to a very high standard.
Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Kings Court

Thank you so much for your kind words – and we couldn’t agree more! We’re so proud of our team at Kings Court for the excellent care they provide to both residents and their loved ones. It’s wonderful that your dad is enjoying the delicious homecooked meals; our kitchen manager will be so pleased. Should your dad ever want any particular meals or snacks, just let the team know, and they’ll do their best to whip it up!

We visit the home regularly and are always treated very well and offered refreshments. The staff are very friendly and help with Mum's needs, ensuring she is well cared for. They always have lots of activities to keep Mum occupied. Lovely, bright room and my wife is able to do her nails as she always
has.

Review from J S (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 11 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I came for a four week respite break and decided to stay permanently. The place itself is beautiful. The team are kind and caring and I feel I am treated as an individual. The food is really excellent. I have enjoyed plenty of activities and trips out. This care home is delivering on its promise and
is a significant step up on other local care homes I have visited.

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.
