Mum was in Kent House for 2/52. They were able to offer an immediate respite bed which helped with carer stress.
The environment was clean, tidy and the staff very welcoming. Activities were provided and residents encouraged to take part. As a daughter, I had no complaints but mum happy to go home.

This is my first visit since my uncle came to stay at Kent House. He was very overweight in the last home but today, his weight loss was apparent.
He looked well, he was chatty and smiling. He spoke fondly of the staff, his room and the meals.
The care home was clean and tidy, staff were interacting
with the residents. Residents looked happy and were being encouraged to join in activities.

Never having a relative in a home, when we brought my mother here to Kent House I had some reservations about the home, and how my mum would be treated, but all concerns that I had, I am pleased to say have been put to rest. I have found the staff to be caring and supportive towards my mother and other
residents. On a whole, my family are satisfied with her care.

My mother is well cared for here. The carers help her whenever she asks for help. The chef is very accommodating as well. When my mother has a doctor appointment I notify the staff personally as well as via email and they are helpful with getting my mother ready, giving me my mother's medications. I'm
very impressed with the labelled medications. There are policies in place. I am overall happy as the staff are understanding and caring.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.430)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.430) out of 10 for Kent House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.430 for Kent House is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.43

  • b) 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 Kent House is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
