Kingfishers

The food has been excellent - a wide choice of menu and well presented. Thank you everyone.

The welcome at the home was excellent. The resident settled in within just two weeks and feels the experience is on par with a hotel. He enjoys the social aspect of the home and the laughter experienced adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Any concerns/issues related around our lack of understanding and the staff learning his specific needs, feedback was readily received and acted upon. As ever, there are some opportunities for improvement but I am confident the management will embrace constructive feedback.

Enjoyed very much the carnival and procession and also the school carol service was lovely and well attended. The staff are very respectful friendly and encouraging. I would certainly recommend the home to others.

We brought my sister-in-law to Kingfishers from Cornwall in November 2022, due to her worsening medical problems. We certainly chose the best place. Her care has been exemplary. Thank you so much to the manager and her team for making her time with them so enjoyable. Even though she was wheelchair-bound, she was encouraged to join in the many activities and special occasions organised and she participated with enthusiasm. We had planned to give this review on her first anniversary as a resident, but sadly she passed away all too soon. It does not alter the fact, however, that we wholeheartedly recommend Kingfishers for the top-class, all-round care they provide.

I like the musical entertainment. I like the activities. There is always something going on and the staff make it fun. I love musical shows and enjoy taking part in the choir.

Very good care from all staff working at the home. I feel safe here and comfortable.

I came to Kingfishers for respite after an injury. I was treated with care, courtesy and kindness by all staff - from reception to carers, cleaners, catering staff, events organisers, nurses and managers etc. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Kingfishers.

I have been here for nearly a year and have been very happy and well looked after and highly recommend it. It is like my second home.

I am very happy here. I like my room because of the view. I also enjoy the music and bus trips. Also, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The whole thing is amazing.

I came here for a 2 week trial, enjoyed the break so decided to live here full time. Everything is extremely pleasant - staff, the lovely garden, entertainment, activities and food. I am extremely happy.

I have always been welcomed into Kingfishers by friendly and kind staff. It is a beautiful home, very well run, good food, activities are fun for the residents with minibus trips regularly organised. My friend has recently passed away, but I shall still support and visit the home. I will certainly recommend anyone who is looking for a lovely care/nursing home.

He enjoyed being looked after by the lovely staff and especially enjoyed the excursions out on the minibus trips to the forest, the coast or local pub. He also looked forward to the boat trips.

I came to Kingfishers to see what I could do to improve my life as home had become isolated. I have a pleasant room, a wide variety of activities to join in and most important of all, friendly people as residents and a good caring staff. This is just what I need to 'take me to 100 and beyond'!

I came for respite care for 2 weeks following a hospital visit. The welcome was wonderful and I was quickly made to feel at home. I enjoyed the entertainment especially the musical ones and my bedroom was beautiful looking over the gardens. The food is first-class and has helped me to recover from stomach problems.

I have been very happy here. The staff have been friendly and helpful - they try to provide some sort of activity most days to get us out of our rooms and to mix with other people. I am grateful for the help that the staff give to us and their cheerful approach to their job.

I am writing this with huge sadness, however, this is a big thank you for making my lovely mum's time in Kingfishers so good. She took part in the activities as much as she could and she thoroughly enjoyed being sociable until her final days when the care and sensitivity shown was faultless. It was good to know she was in a safe place. Also, thanks for the help given to me along the way at a difficult time.

I am very comfortable here and feel secure after finding it difficult to manage at home whilst waiting for an operation with my husband having dementia. We are both happy and it is certainly the right place for us.

I am recovering from a major operation and my room is perfect for me with activity to be seen from my lovely window.

My experience at Kingfishers home has been truly wonderful.

Since I have been staying in Kingfishers, I have really enjoyed my stay. The staff are so helpful, friendly and happy. I feel as though I am on holiday! I have been able to relax and enjoy myself, enjoying the atmosphere when I can read my books. One of the things I love most is having my food cooked for me and meeting other people and staff.
