Kingfisher Court

Excellent service. A lovely place to be.

We moved one of my nans from another care home to Kingfisher Court, as we were unhappy with the care she was getting there. Since coming to Kingfisher Court her life has been transformed and her quality of life has improved, she really is like my nan again. She enjoys her meals, has regular social interactions, has lots of one-to-one time and the staff at the home have got her walking again. I cannot believe the difference in her, since she came to the home a few months ago and she looks a million times better, always dressed properly and looks well cared for. The home is just lovely and very clean but the atmosphere in the home just feels special, like a proper home from home. The staff are all kind and caring and nothing is too much trouble for them. We were so happy with the changes in my nan that my other nan moved in a few weeks later and she loves it too! I cannot recommend this home enough, it is just the best.

I moved my mum into Kingfisher Court in June, it was a difficult decision but the best one I have made, wish I had done it sooner. She's so happy and not lonely anymore. The home is spotless, the rooms and the food are lovely and there are great facilities, it's such a nice home - like living in a hotel. The activities she is doing, she wouldn't have done if she was at home. The care workers do an amazing job, and the entertainment and activities are first-class. Kingfisher Court is a credit to the management and staff, nothing is ever too much trouble and I am kept updated on everything.

The care home looks lovely and bright, colourful. The staff are very friendly and warm and caring. My sister looks great, happy and well cared for. I only come once a year to visit, since I work overseas but I follow the Kingfisher Court website and was delighted to see about my sister playing dominoes and enjoying activities.

Good food, friendly people. Good facilities. My relative looks very well. We haven't seen her since before COVID, but we have noticed a big improvement.

I moved my mum into Kingfisher Court from a previous care home in July, she has dementia and had no mobility, due to it being easier to move her by wheelchair everywhere, so Kingfisher Court was having to use a hoist to move my mum as she could not stand or take her own weight. To my amazement within 1 week, she has now got her mobility back and is walking with her walker. The staff have been amazing in what they have achieved in such a short time. They are so caring and committed. The best move I have made for my mum. It is such a lovely care home, just like staying in a hotel, with lovely food, a lovely atmosphere, great activities for the residents and nothing is to much trouble. They keep you updated on everything that is going on. The home is amazing. The staff go above and beyond to make sure they enjoy their life, and to top it off we have moved my mother-in-law in and she absolutely loves it.

My mum is leaving this morning with mixed emotions - she has missed her home but has had a lovely time here. She's made new friends and thoroughly enjoyed her food and activities. All the team have been really kind and supportive and we all know, with confidence, that her next visit will be just as happy. Thank you very much.

I cannot fault Kingfisher Court at all. Everything is perfect, best home in the district.

On a quick visit, I was most impressed with the home and care provided - excellent.

My nana moved into the care home just before the pandemic in 2020, which was extremely tough as she is a very independent (opinionated!) woman and it was very confusing for her. At all times, there was great communication to try to keep as in touch as we possibly could including phone calls, face times, window visits and an outdoor concert! The staff are absolutely lovely and nothing is too much of an effort. They keep all the residents entertained with games, Rodney the rabbit and regular trips. We have regular check-ins with my nana's key worker and the staff will always fill us in on what they've been up to when we visit. All of our family really appreciate the help and support we have received from the home since my nana has gone to stay with them, it really is a lovely atmosphere, a great community with lovely people. She has made friends with both fellow residents and staff. Big shout out to one member of staff, in particular for putting up with my nana following (bossing) him around all day!

Always provides excellent care, staff are approachable at all times and Mum is very happy and safe.

I moved my mum into Kingfisher Court in February 2020 just before covid lockdown. My mum said she would not go into a care home but with dementia had no choice. From day one the staff really took the time to get to know my mum and her ways. My mum was a woman that never joined in or had friends but she found a lot of friends amongst the care team at Kingfisher Court and joined in with flower arranging, dominoes, singalongs, bingo and games. My mum passed away on the 8th May after suffering an enormous stroke 2 weeks before and having pneumonia. The end of life care she received was amazing. I went in to visit to see a member of staff kissing her. She kept saying kiss me to them. Another time one of the carers led on the bed with her when she wanted comforting. When my mum passed, there were 6 staff members in the room with her. If you are looking for 5* accommodation and care for your loved one, you will not get any care facility better than Kingfisher Court. On behalf of my mum, I can honestly say they are 'simply the best'

When selecting a care home for some respite for my mum, we were really impressed with the facilities, cleanliness and staff at Kingfisher Court. I had some really helpful conversations with the manager about Mum's needs and she was really helpful in organising Mum's respite stay. The home itself is fabulous, spotlessly clean and everyone made Mum welcome as soon as she arrived. Mum's room was well furnished and having her own en-suite bathroom with a shower seat was ideal for her needs. The food, entertainment and activities were first class, Mum was encouraged to join in as much as possible. She settled in really well, made friends with some of the residents and loved all the carers. All the staff are lovely and genuinely interested in their job and the well-being of all the residents. I would certainly recommend anyone to visit Kingfisher Court if they are looking for full time or respite care.

My mum needed to go into full-time care and having spent over two hours visiting the home, I knew it was the right place. The staff were fantastic, showing me around and explaining the care package that would be put in place for Mum. The home itself is fabulous, spotlessly clean and everyone makes me welcome when I visit and will always answer any questions. The entertainment and activities provided are first class and Mum is enjoying these and has already made some new friends and loves the carers. Mum's room is furnished lovely and having her own en-suite bathroom was a massive plus. I would certainly recommend, in fact encourage anyone to go to Kingfisher Court if they are looking for full time or respite care. The peace of mind this has given the family, knowing Mum is being so well looked after and settling in really well is priceless.

Lovely care home, with kind and caring staff.

My mum had some much-needed respite care for two weeks in December 2021. Kingfisher Court Care Home was recommended to the family so we made the call. From the moment the call was received to the moment Mum came out of Kingfisher, she/we received five-star treatment. The decision wasn't an easy one to make (naturally) but the staff at Kingfisher embraced Mum's needs in a very caring, sensitive and hands-on/pragmatic way. Mum's mobility was zero when she went into Kingfisher - transported door to door in a wheelchair. After two weeks of tender loving care, she came out walking! The cooks in the kitchen also worked with a dietician which helped with Mum's particular needs and that all worked well. I found the application process extremely thorough which made us all feel comforted, knowing that she was going to be treated so well. Covid compliance was of the highest standard and we felt very safe. All the staff are so lovely and genuinely interested in their job and have a passion for eldercare.

Happy with care and activities in the home.

I can see my mum is being well cared for at Kingfisher Court both in how she looks and the clean and friendly atmosphere in the home. All staff are working as a team to provide the kind of care anyone would want for their mother. By now my mum needs everything doing for her and I know the staff are kind and professional in the way they deliver her care. There is no doubt that my brother and I could not look after her without everyone at Kingfisher Court. As well as all of this, the social team engage her in activities which is a real benefit.

My mum joined Kingfisher a couple of months ago and has settled in very well. Everyone is so welcoming and always have time to put my mind at rest when I ring to see if my mum is OK. It was heartbreaking at first for her and the family but I saw her today and she's happy. Kingfisher Court is a lovely home. Thank you for looking after Mum.

Mum has been a resident for about six months and in that time my dad passed away unexpectedly. The home has been fantastic and supported Mum through her grief. The level of care is genuinely outstanding and we couldn't ask for a better home for Mum.
