I always find my mother very well cared for. I am always welcomed into the home and invited to join in every activity. All the staff are so very caring and cheerful. I am completely confident that my mum has the best possible care and she is in a cheerful environment. It seems that there are interesting activities every day. There are many groups that come into the care home and import their knowledge and talents in a fun way.
My dad had a fall which fractured his pelvis. He went to hospital by ambulance. The manager and all her team went way beyond hope and expectations in getting dad out of hospital and setting up the correct level of care, however, when discharged everything was completely ready. Clothes moved, pictures up and al personal items placed in a new room in identical places. Every staff member has been professional, caring and extremely kind. I truly believe that the manager and the team are way above outstanding!!
My stay here is made very happy by the staff here. I enjoy the musical events and sing-songs. The place is maintained very well by the staff and there are all amenities to hand.
Food is excellent like a first class hotel in Las Vegas.
I spend some considerable time at Kingfishers visiting my mother as often as I can and I am delighted with the care she receives. The staff are amazing whether nurses, care, assistants, activity coordinators, catering or reception staff. So friendly, caring and professional. The recent gala lunch was so enjoyable, the effort staff had gone to was very obvious. I feel Kingfishers is my own "home away from home" Thank you to you all.
I stayed at Kingfishers for respite after surgery. What impressed me most was the professionalism, knowledge and dedication of the staff in all areas. They are wonderful! Nothing was too much trouble. There is not one negative comment I can make about my stay, Kingfishers is that good!!
Mum has now been living at Kingfishers for a year. Before she moved in her health had deteriorated badly and she was no longer able to live independently. Since arriving at Kingfishers her physical and mental wellbeing have improved greatly. The standard of care is first class. As a family, we have been very impressed by the caring and considerate attitude of all the staff, as well as aspects of the community in which Mum now lives. Kingfishers is exceptionally clean; there is a beautiful garden and numerous activities for the residents. Mum particularly enjoys the food. We feel confident that Mum is being very well cared for.
Really excellent day at the barbecue and other visits.
This empathy and compassion is extended to all, even when the resident is being erratic or consistently confrontational.
I leave for my home in the antipodes happy and secure in the knowledge that my grandmother could not possibly be in a better place.
Thank you.
Just to thank everyone at Kingfisher for making my mother so welcome, happy and feeling safe at the end of her life. They all do an amazing job and all the staff are so so happy.
CQC rated Outstanding, what more can I say? Friendly, kind, understanding staff. Always time to talk which is so important. Amazing home.
Have said to many people of a certain age that when the time occurs.
It gives one such a feeling of confidence in all that is here.
I believe it is easily the best home for miles and tell everyone how excellent it is here.
We have had a bbq today and it was very good. The staff and everybody are fine. We have no grumbles at all.
Very pleased with all aspects. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The food is excellent.
I have a room of my choice and have brought several articles with me so it has helped me to feel that the room is as much like home as possible.
I am fortunate since I am mobile so I can get into the lovely gardens.
There are a variety of activities but personally, I would like more classes with exercises like Extend. Me being here gives my daughter, son and daughter in law as well as myself, peace of mind.
Thank you for your review, please do mention to the Activities Team at Kingfishers that you would like to see more exercise based activities and they will always do their best to try and vary their monthly program.
The response to my online enquiry was within 24 hours.
My mum was admitted within 4 days of the enquiry.
The staff - all of them, are absolutely fantastic, nothing is any trouble and all mum's needs are anticipated.
The décor, aroma, gardens, communal areas and private rooms are all amazing.
It is really 5 star.
Thank you so much for the care you take.
I have visited other care homes and Kingfishers is definitely a class above the rest.
I am very happy here. The staff are very helpful, we are very lucky the staff keep us busy.
It was wonderful and staff are too.
I am happy to have won the big cake - the gardens are beautiful and I really enjoy walking.
I was totally satisfied with the excellent care and attention provided by all the staff at Kingfishers. My wife was treated with dignity and compassion at all times which I witnessed through my daily visits. I was also very impressed and grateful for all the support and kindness the staff afforded myself and my family.
