The love, care, and compassion my brother-in-law was given at Kenbrook was amazing. We could not have asked for any more from this marvelous home.


Having sadly been diagnosed with terminal cancer he spent the last six weeks of his life at Kenbrook and he described these as the happiest days of

his life. He felt both at home and at peace surrounded by people that loved and cared for him.


He passed away peacefully in the comfort of his own room with family and staff present.


We cannot thank the staff and management enough for the support they gave him and our family during this difficult period.


We cannot recommend this home highly enough. Rest assured this is the perfect home for your loved one.


Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at Kenbrook

Firstly, I am so sorry for your loss. Secondly, thank you so much for not only taking the time to give a review rating for this service but for sharing yours and your brother-in-law's real life experience.


We are so proud of this team and the service they deliver and it is so rewarding to know they have made such a difference to his last days. Best wishes always to all of you. I will share your wonderful words of gratitude with the team.

The care staff and management really do care. They all showed lots of love and affection to my Mum who spent her last couple of weeks in Kenbrook 2 years ago.
My Dad, who became terminally ill this year had no hesitation in telling us that he wanted to spend his last days there too.
Most of the staff
were familiar to us from Mums time there and were very upset to see Dad so ill now. I knew he was in the most loving hands in the world.
Everyone receives more than what you could hope for in the way of friendship, help, advice, love.....I can't say enough.....I call them Angels.
Obviously, the professional healthcare is excellent and all the emotional care is given to all who enter, not just the residents.
Eternally grateful........

Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at Kenbrook

Thank you for this wonderful review, it is heart warming to hear words spoken with such appreciation and affection.


I agree that the team really do care as if each resident were their own family member and this shows throughout their work.


I will share your sentiments with the team and thank you again for taking the time to write this review.

Having experienced two care homes previously, I have to say what a Godsend Kenbrook is. I know that my relative is cared for in a thorough, professional, respectful and caring way. Kenbrook has a caring attitude to not just the resident but to their family and friends and on a number of occasions
have provided very sensitive and loving care to me as a relative by way of support.
The administration is excellent - always helpful and efficient. My friends genuinely love coming to Kenbrook to visit their friend and the Kenbrook staff too - it is a Win Win - they give and receive joy and affirmation on making a visit. I can't truly express what a precious part Kenbrook is in my life and in that of my relative and friends. Thank you so much.

The most peaceful home we have come across. Staff are very pleasant and family have peace of mind that Mum and all other residents are being well looked after. Well done Kenbrook, keep up the good work.

Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at Kenbrook

Thank you for completing this review. It is great to know you feel peace of mind for the care that is delivered to mum and other residents by the Kenbrook team. It is so important to know that our loved ones are safe and well cared for and I am glad you are assured of that, it is what we strive for.


We are always looking for ways to be even better though so please do feel free to speak to the manager if you think of anything that would make that finishing touch for mum, a favourite past hobby to rekindle memories of, a favourite recipe or food from days gone by.


Kind regards

Our mother joined Kenbrook 2 years ago. She had Alzheimers for 12 years. We have very high praise for this unassuming nursing home. From day one, it was clear the staff go far beyond their paid job. Staff really got to know our mum and all her family. They treated us as a whole family not just an
elderly woman with Alzheimers. The home is like a 'home from home' with a very personal, dignified ethos. All the staff no matter what role, tried everything they could to ensure mum was comfortable and continued to eat and drink. Whenever we requested expert input (palliative care , GP) they were considerate and extremely efficient. Standards of personal care (washing/dressing etc) are very high. Her room was always immaculately clean. Mum was always washed, dressed and sitting in the one of the beautiful lounges that look out onto the well tended gardens. Her last days were filled with staff visiting her, prayers and genuine love for our mother. We are indebted to the whole team.

Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at Kenbrook

Thank you so much for your wonderful heart felt review of the kindness and care given to your mum whilst she was living at Kenbrook. I know they miss your mum too, your mum was a wonderful lady and it was a pleasure to care for her during her final days. I wish you all the best and we will think of you and wish you happy memories during this time of loss.

My father had a recent short stay at Kenbrook. It was his final wish to go there. We knew how wonderful all the staff were, there was no decision to be made as my Mother was a resident 2 years ago. Everybody at Kenbrook are angels, no exceptions. Our family are indebted to them all for their professionalism,
sensitivity and kindness. They all go far beyond the call of duty and nothing is too much trouble. I remember Dad saying they treated Mum like a queen, well they treated my father like a king. God bless all of them. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kenbrook to anybody.

Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at Kenbrook

Dear Paula


I am so pleased that your father got his wish and that you found the support and care at Kenbrook to be so special. I agree this team does go that extra mile to make the residents stay special and attentive and it is great to know that they did this during his final days. I am very sorry for your loss and I know the home will miss your father. Please do keep in touch with us should you wish, I know it may be difficult at this time but you are always welcome to visit.


I thank you for your wonderful sentiments and will share these with the team.

The care at Kenbrook is nothing less than outstanding, my family and I have been delighted with the support my mother has received. We have been given great piece of mind to know that she is in the very best of hands and we cannot praise the management and staff enough.


When you enter the building

at Kenbrook you're immediately greeted with a warm sense of hospitality, from both the staff and the residents cats! The home itself is surrounded by beautiful gardens and the rooms are both spacious and clean. As you walk around you are met with friendly faces and there is always someone readily on hand to offer their help and support.


Most importantly my mother is happy and contented in her new home and has settled in very well- something as a family we felt anxious about. We need not have worried though, as Kenbrook has really gone that extra mile to ensure that all my mothers needs are catered for-we cannot rate the care home highly enough, five stars!


Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at Kenbrook

Dear Maura


Thank you so much for the wonderful recognition you have given to the staff and services provided for your mother at Kenbrook. I agree that the home is particularly welcoming and warm and does give peace of mind to others, I am glad you feel this way.


Thank you for kindly taking the time to share your views, we will pass these kind sentiments back to the team.

My mum was a resident of Kenbrook for nearly one year. We never thought we would have to put mum into a home but the severity of her dementia made it unavoidable. It was truly heartbreaking to see her like that but the staff were so wonderful and caring it made it so much easier for all of us. They
restored our faith in human nature and went above and beyond to ensure this time was comfortable for her. She unfortunately passed away on the 31st March and in the last week of her life they ensured she passed peacefully. I cannot thank the manager and her staff enough for their care

Reply from Deborah Langton, Area Manager at Kenbrook

Dear Noreen


Thank you for the wonderful review of the way Kenbrook supported your mother. I agree that the staff do provide an exceptional service and I thank you for this wonderful recognition, I will relay this to the team there.


I am sorry for your loss though agreed it is reassuring that our loved ones last days were attended to with loving and caring support as I have witnessed there.


Do take care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.829)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.829) out of 10 for Kenbrook is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.829 for Kenbrook is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 170 Ratings = 4.829

  • 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 Kenbrook is based on 15 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
