Friary House

From my first encounter with the staff at Friary House I felt sure that my dad was in the safest of hands. Dad was extremely well cared for - personal care was fantastic, activities were amazing (birds of prey, chicks, sheep, ice cream van, trips out, fish and chips to name a few). Dietary requirement
met (delicious lunches, snacks, great variety). Health - regular visits from nurse practitioner and great communication at all times. All the staff have been incredible and I am so grateful for their kindness to my dad and my family too. An amazing team.

My mother spent the last four weeks of her life in Friary House. She was well cared for by kind and compassionate staff. This kindness was extended to her family and we were able to visit at any time. The end-of-life care given by the manager and staff was exemplary and went a long way in easing my
mother's final days and hours. Knowing that she was in such a kind and caring home was very reassuring for us all.

The time had come for us to look for a ‘home’ for our dear mum - after looking and visiting a few we walked into Kingsley Court and my sister-in-law and I both looked at each other and smiled! It was that instant - just a feel! From when I’d spoken to them to arrange a visit to them greeting us it was
all so welcoming and relaxed! The pre-visit from the manager made Mum feel assured that she would be welcomed and cared for and we all felt the manager was listening to Mum carefully on her needs! Both residents and staff all looked happy! Kingsley is a smaller home (16 residents) which is perfect for our mum! Her room (with en-suite) is airy and bright. Mum tells us the food is really good too! Whenever I ring the home the office staff are also extremely friendly and we are always made welcome and phone taken to mum if needed! After 4 weeks we know we’ve found mums home! Thank you Kingsley Court for making an emotional time so much easier and looking out for us all!

The care home are there for the residents, organising activities and trips out. My mother has thrived while living here and the staff are very attentive to the residents’ needs. The home is always welcoming, exceptionally clean and smells very pleasant. My sister and I were very relieved when we walked
into the home on a fact finding mission to find a suitable home for our mother. The other homes weren’t a patch on Friary House. It has made mum’s and our lives very happy.

My mum is extremely well cared for by friendly and committed staff. She has much more company and is much better mentally stimulated at Kingsley Court than she was whilst living with me and my husband.
The food is excellent and nothing is too much trouble for the dedicated team of carers.
I am always
made to feel welcome on my regular visits, as are my husband and other relatives and friends on their visits.
I really feel that we could not have chosen a better care home for my mum.

My mother (once she had settled after a couple of weeks) stated - the girls are lovely and help me and the food is lovely.
She is now well-settled and enjoys the company of the residents and staff.

We chose Friary House as my mother's new home four years ago, having viewed a number of other care homes across Weymouth. We made the right decision. The standard of care that the team provide is simply outstanding. The staff have supported Mum's needs as an individual and kept me fully informed and
involved - giving me complete confidence that mum is safe and able to enjoy her daily life.
Friary is light and airy and isn't as large as some other homes, so the staff are able to make it feel like a family home.
Mum has taken part in frequent activities ranging from arts and crafts, themed events and musical entertainment (she loves to sing) and even had the chance to interact with birds of prey!
Cleanliness, maintenance, home-cooked food and personal care are all excellent.
The staff and management are very approachable. Mum feels 'loved' and cared for. The staff should take credit for making Friary such a wonderful, safe home for Mum through to end-of-life care.

My mother is very well looked after and treated with great dignity. The room is bright and clean with excellent furniture and where she also has some of her own furnishings. The care staff are excellent and my mother is always dressed well. The care home also takes the residents out for meals at local
cafes and lay on many activities. Last, but not least, the food is very good and residents have a choice of meal.

The home feels friendly and the staff excellent and caring however the facilities are dated and not an easy layout for residents and visitors alike.
While the parking is easy. delays in answering the front door or telephone can be extremely lengthy.
It would be an improvement to be offered a cup of
tea/coffee to enjoy with the resident whilst visiting and I'd appreciate being able to make an impromptu visit if passing.
Encouraging activities for bedridden patients would be a bonus.
Overall, I am happy that my mother is in a warm, caring environment and treated with dignity and respect.

Mum has been a resident at Kingsley Court for three years. She is in noticeably better health than she was prior to going there and I attribute this to getting regular meals and her prescribed medication at the correct times in short, the care she is receiving.
The staff seem to genuinely care about
us as well as for the residents and to show patience and kindness towards them.

Kingsley Court is a very caring, flexible and supportive care home. Staff provide excellent personalised care and support. Nothing is too much trouble for their residents and the resident's families.
When Mum and Dad were struggling at home, staff did not hesitate to provide additional care and support.
I
cannot praise the home enough! Thank you Kingsley, you are a credit to the social care services.

Staff are friendly and provide good care to my mother. Her lack of mobility is well managed by her carers. Considering her age and her preference, she stays in her room, her meals are brought to her and she is encouraged to join in with activities. Any medical issues are dealt with by contacting local
practitioners.

Mum had 2 strokes in Lockdown and we were informed she needed to go into care. Not only could we not visit her in hospital we couldn't view care homes. From the first point of contact, I can't fault Kingsley Care Home. They have been completely on the ball with everything I have asked. They are so friendly.
This is vitally important in these Covid times.
Mum has sadly deteriorated but they have been brilliant to both mum and in keeping me informed.

Thanks to the patience and willing helpfulness of the staff, I have arranged regular garden visits with Dad since May, whether a summer's evening beer together, an early morning visit before lunch or enjoying an afternoon in the sun, the staff never seem inconvenienced. Given the time needed to get
Dad organised and to help him on to the decking, the staff are always welcoming. Often my dad asks how I found this 'gem'. The atmosphere is warm, homely and intimate. Most of the staff have been there for many years and they all seem to know him well. A real gem.

During my mother's respite stay at Kingsley Court I found all the staff to be very friendly, caring, welcoming professional at all times. Nothing was ever too much trouble. There was a good choice of home-cooked meals every day. A good programme of activities were arranged every month and often family/friends
were invited to join in. The rooms were clean, warm and comfortable and the safety of residents was evident. All in all, I would recommend Kingsley Court to anyone looking for a care home.

The highest standard of care and healthcare was constantly provided to Mum over four and a half years. The environment is one of care, warmth, and friendship - as a home should be - and is combined with great attention to detail. It was Mum's home and she was very happy there. This is the best healthcare
and care culture that I have seen and experienced.
