Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum is so happy in Kings Manor that she tells me every time I come to visit. The staff are so caring and friendly and Mum has made firm relationships with both staff and residents. The activities are amazing and I would name the organiser for special mention if I could.
I am full of gratitude for
both management and care staff's handling of the whole pandemic, for keeping Mum safe and for welcoming us all in when it was safe to do so. Bless you all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother and father required residential care at short notice as a result of my mother falling and breaking her hip and my father's dementia. The managers and staff at Kings Manor have provided very high-quality care and support to both with calm professionalism and sensitively delivered compassion.
My mother has recovered and is now living independently but my father has decided to make Kings Manor his permanent home.

My dad arrived at Kings Manor in a rather weak state for respite after a hospital visit. Right from the start, he described Kings Manor as a 'luxury hotel'! After 24-hour care and attention and excellent food, he has come on leaps and bounds. He has made new friends, and to our surprise, decided to
stay! The staff are very approachable, friendly, caring. There's a beautiful garden and a lovely peaceful environment. Thank you. It's a pleasure to visit him to see him so happy.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback; it's been an absolute pleasure to support you and your father. We are so pleased that he has settled so well.

Mum is well cared for and treated with affection. Staff seem genuinely interested in her wellbeing and in her as a person. Information about her past life likes and dislikes is welcomed and noted. I feel welcomed and appreciated as a visiting relative and staff are unfailingly polite. Short of being
able to remain in her own home I feel that mum is in the best place she could be.

My father has only been here a little more than a week and I was well informed of what to expect and that is is a learning curve on all sides.
Everyone is very approachable and happy to help with all the questions and information transfer at this early stage. I feel very comfortable with the decision
to bring my father here. The only difficult time I was aware of was when they were short-staffed though someone was off ill at a weekend.

Thank you so much for your review. We are so delighted that you are happy with your decision to bring your father into our care. We really enjoy having him in the home with us here. Thank you again, Sabrina

Mom has been on respite since before Christmas and the level of care my mom has received is outstanding. The house manager is always available if there are any concerns. The food is excellent with a good variety and special diets adhered to. The team work well together and support the family as well
as the residents.

We are very happy with the care and attention that our father is receiving at King's Manor. In particular, the pleasing and commendable staff who no matter what their job or role, have the time and willingness to talk with and more importantly, listen to him at a time when he is feeling anxious and
insecure.

It's all about peace of mind. I went away leaving my partner for the first time. You made me feel I was not doing something wrong. Peace of mind was fabulous. The staff, all the staff were fabulous. I rang just to make sure he had settled. They were fabulous, I love them all. I had the break that I
needed.

Every time I have stepped into this lovely care home, smiling faces, very helpful and kind staff greeted me. The rooms are beautiful and clean, the food is great. All the staff always had a kind word to us and to the residents that I have met. The residents were well looked after and looked to have
been enjoying themselves, a lot. I have enjoyed all my visits to the care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After an extensive search for a suitable nursing home for Dad, we have been so fortunate to find Kings Manor. It has given us peace of mind to know that he's in a beautiful home (which looks and feels like a 5* hotel) with staff who are wonderful, so caring, friendly and professional. Nursing care is
24/7. His room has a fantastic outlook, is spacious, has its own wet room and it is wheelchair friendly too. Corridors are wide, tastefully decorated and visitors are welcome at any time. Dad has settled in with the help of all the team. He is treated with dignity and humour but also the team look after the immediate family too. Activities are well planned and varied. The food is tailored to Dad's needs and he looks forward to mealtimes! The bistro provides us with a place to chat and relax and there's even a playroom for younger visitors. Thank you Kings Manor for taking such good care of Dad.

Kings Manor staff have done a wonderful job settling mum into her new home over the last month. They have spent a lot of time getting to know her and learning about her needs and wishes. All the staff care about mum and it is lovely to see how they look after her. The bedrooms and facilities are all

Mum moved into Kings Manor on 2nd July and we are delighted with the quality and level of care. The staff are so helpful and seem to be working as a great team. Equally importantly, our father who is 87 and they have been married for 64 years is made so welcome whenever he visits and feels at home when
he is there. Kings Manor and the staff are fantastic. We could not be happier.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.450)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.450) out of 10 for Kings Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.450 for Kings Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.45
  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 Manor Care Home is based on 14 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 14 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.
