I feel so comfortable going back to Spain, after moving my father to Kingsmead for palliative care. The staff were reassuring, and I could tell by the atmosphere at the home, they were very caring. They look time to find out what was important to my dad. I'm back after a week and found that, my initial thoughts have all been proved correct. I could not wish for better at this end of life stage for my father.

Das has been well cared for since being looked after by Kingsmead Care Home from August 2024. He had dementia and is unable to care for himself. The team at Kingsmead provide an excellent care package and are willing to go an 'extra mile' to ensure he has the best possible care for his condition. The staff always have a smile even when he is pushing them away even though he needs their support. They understand his needs and are professional, supportive and above all very patient with him and his care.

I come up regularly to see my mum and always get a good welcome from all staff. I see all the activities on social media. I think they do a brilliant job the activities staff. Some of the videos are so funny and they get all residents joining in. I know my mum especially likes to go swimming. Keep up the good work as you all do a brilliant job.

I found the staff to be very friendly and always on hand to help. My mother-in-law is very happy in the care home and loving all the activities in which she joins in, even singing and dancing herself. Overall the care is excellent.

Staff were all lovely and helpful. They always made me feel welcome and looked after my husband well, while he was in the home. It was always lovely when the entertainment team provided fun and games. Really pleased with everything the home and staff did for my husband and myself. Would recommend the home to anyone who needs care.

All the family are so pleased that Mum has settled in well at Kingsmead and this is due in no small part to all the carers that look after her. She has taken to them so well and enjoys the company. The care home provides lots of activities not only at the home but also taking the patients to the wildlife park and the hydrotherapy pool. Mum has settled in so much better than we could have hoped. Thank you Kingsmead.

The home is lovely, clean and filled with amazing carers. There's always has so much going on for the residents. Everyone is always super helpful but I what stands out the most to me in the activities. There is always something for the residents to do, especially in the run up to Christmas they have a whole selection of things to get up to. Well done to the team.

The activity staff here are absolutely wonderful. A total asset to this care home. Top marks to carers, so friendly and caring. The management team are very welcoming and happy to always answer any questions asked.

My late sister's husband (my brother-in-law) entered Kingsmead very reluctantly in April 2019 for a trial of two weeks to see if he liked it. After the first week, he asked when he could go home but at the end of the trial period with the help and attention he received from the staff he had settled. So the next four years until his passing on April 27 2024 he was surrounded by residents and staff that made his final years a real joy so I cannot speak highly enough of the care and attention he received.

I have always found the care home to be friendly, helpful, and professional. My mother's care at the home is very good, and I have no complaints at all. The staff keep me up to date with my mother's health issues and she is very settled there.

The staff at Kingsmead were amazing from their manager down. They were aware of our previous bad experience with my grandfather's care at the hospital and wholeheartedly took on board our concerns with his condition. They provided amazing care and preserved his dignity throughout his time there. My mum and I will be eternally grateful for them all as they supported us more than I think even they realised.

Always found staff very friendly and caring and Mum settled very quickly and never seemed distressed or in pain, despite her serious health conditions. The manager always had time to chat and was very approachable. Felt confident that Mum was in safe hands and needs were being met. Was only able to visit sporadically so can't comment in detail on items such as food and activities. Room was large and area, but furnishings heavy and outdated. Overall, very happy with the care she received in last 6 months.

So very impressed with the team at Kingsmead Care Home. They looked after my late father and now my Aunt. A real positive energy throughout the whole team and the management is very hands-on. The activities team work so hard to engage and entertain the residents. As a relative of a resident I have real confidence knowing my Aunt is in great care. Thanks so much to the management, the activities team and all the nursing, care and supporting teams at the home, I can't thank you all enough and in awe of what you do. Thank you.

I wanted to recognise the management, activity team and all the staff at Kingsmead. They are very caring, engaging and supportive and really go the extra mile to look after their residents. Recently the team took my Aunt and other residents into the Town Gardens to celebrate Easter, just one example of the care and consideration the whole team have for their residents. Thank you.

The staff at Kingsmead are always attentive and friendly. There is an energy in the air in the public areas which lifts the mood for visitors like me and for the residents, who seem always to be looking outwards and taking everything in. My sister is well looked after and is treated with great dignity. The quality of the senior nursing staff is second to none and they communicate well.

My father has been a resident here at Kingsmead for a couple of months now. The staff are very friendly and professional and have a compassionate approach to his care. I am very grateful to the manager for persevering with my constant phone calls whilst I was looking for somewhere who could support my dad's care needs when others could not. My father is happy and settled and knowing he has the care and support I can relax a little.
09 January 2023
The staff were always friendly and helpful and I feel my dad got the best care the whole time he was there, I also always felt you could turn up and expect the same high standards. It was nice to know my dad was in such good hands and I would like to thank all of the staff for the care they gave, so thank you so much.

My husband has very professional, compassionate, competent and friendly care all the time.

Kingsmead looked after my friend with compassion and care. She had no family so Kingsmead took the place of her family, she was at the care, home for the last 7 months of her life and they looked after her extremely well. Thank you Kingsmead.
