Review from Liz K (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad who sadly has to endure the ongoing daily challenges that vascular dementia brings has been at KCH (Knebworth Care Home) for just under 18 months. The genuine love, support, compassion and care that the full team including maintenance, housekeeping, kitchen staff, carers, nurses and management
have shown my Dad is above and beyond. We cannot sing their praises high enough. The home backs onto open fields providing a calm and relaxing vista which my Dad, a former farmer, truly enjoys especially during the different crop seasons and summer months when he can sit in a shady spot in the gardens enjoying the view. Everyone at KCH works as a true team should, with the residents needs and comforts always taking priority. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Off menu options are regularly provided to accommodate my Dad's individual food preferences. Likewise his, now well known individual ways and needs are treated with respect and consideration. We will be forever grateful to all at KCH. Thank you.

All the staff are patient and kind and support residents well. They listen to worries we have and do their best to improve the service.
Relative meetings are very useful to share thoughts and ideas and talk to others about our relatives and services provided.

Review from D M H (Wife of Resident) published on 8 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After visiting a number of care homes in the Welwyn Area, I found Knebworth Care Home, Woolmer Green to be the best. The situation, outlook onto open fields, the very clean rooms, no cooking smells, overall cleanliness. The staff which includes carers, nurses, maintenance, kitchen staff and cleaners
and laundry are all second to none. Food menus and dining room always inviting, nothing is too much trouble for anyone. The manager is in full control knows what she is doing, attends to details and has time for everyone, creating a very happy unit. On the down side, care parking can be difficult at times, also perhaps more stimulating activities could be introduced.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was my immediate choice of home for my mum when she needed nursing care. After having been at a different home before, which was also good, I felt they wouldn't meet my mum's needs once she changed from Dementia to nursing. I am so grateful to all the staff for the way that my mum is looked after,
her every need is taken care of. Staff are always on hand. There has never been an occasion when there is no staff around there are always four to five staff in proximity to my mum's door. There is always a very warm welcome from the staff when I turn up to visit my mum. The cleanliness of the home is second to none. I would immediately recommend this home without any hesitation.

Review from Marilyn G (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 May 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When mum arrived here after 6 weeks in hospital - we immediately knew she was in the right place and shed a few tears of relief.


It was more like a home from home than anywhere we had visited. The care and kindness shown by every member of staff was exceptional.
We felt welcome at any time and mum

told us she was happy and comfy.
They always went the extra mile and offered continuous consistent support to us as well as mum.
The food was so good and as Mum struggled with her appetite so many choices were offered.
We cannot express our gratitude enough for making mums last weeks so dignified.
Would recommend this care/nursing home highly.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.754)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.754) out of 10 for Knebworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.754 for Knebworth is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 342 Ratings = 4.754
  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 Knebworth is based on 29 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 71 registered maximum number of service users is 14.2, which has been reached with 29 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

I joined Care UK in 2022 as a Deputy Manager after hearing amazing feedback from the public.


Being promoted to Home Manager in 2023 was a huge moment in my career. I’m a Registered Nurse and have achieved my level 5 in Management in Health and Social Care training.


As a Home Manager, it’s important to be professional, compassionate, hardworking and a team player. I love getting to the end of my shift when I can reflect on the day and all the tasks I accomplished. Working alongside amazing team members who are dedicated to delivering outstanding care to residents every day inspires me.


When I’m not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family.
