Report
My mother was a resident for a few short weeks but during that time she was extremely well cared for as were me and my family. My mother's complex medical needs were overseen by the
All the different teams, managerial/admin, cleaning, catering and nursing staff, everyone in fact, were soo supportive and nothing was too much trouble.
I was encouraged to stay over whenever I wished and I always knew the whole team were just a phone call away to answer any questions.
The nursing home owner took particular care of my mother during her stay and sat with my mother at the end until I could get there.
In short if you are looking for a nursing home that is truly a home then Kingsgate is for you as it was quite literally the answer to our prayers.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback, this is always uplifting to the staff to receive this as it gives them the confirmation that the love and care they promote to all our residents is being recognized and appreciated from relatives. Dementia is so hard for loved ones emotions and very challenging to deal with, the management team and all staff values are to also support family members in good and bad days as we are one big family.

Thank you for your review as your feedback is most important to the management team and all the staff at Kingsgate Care Home. Mum was here with your Dad for a short period of time which was a real shame that they never got to be together for longer, but your mum has really settled here and enjoys all the activities and events that we have going on throughout the year, her favourite being the exercise games that the company rise to come into the home to do and of course the weekly Bingo! Mum often speaks about your Dad and it is a big comfort to her that we did know him, and share pictures and memories of him.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Kingsgate Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.892 for Kingsgate Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.892
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 Kingsgate Care Home is based on 11 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 11 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager
Joined: 2018
I become the Deputy Manager of Kingsgate Care Home in 2018 and registered as the Registered Manager in January 2024. I have worked in care since 2010 starting out as a care assistant moving on to Senior Care assistant, Training Manager, Deputy Manager. I had lots of opportunities through my time in the care industry and took them with both hands. My passion is caring for others, treating others how I would like to be treated with dignity and respect. I practice an open door policy so anyone can come and talk to me whenever they need to, this is important to me it gives relatives the time and support they also need, supporting them through difficult challenging times is also a priority to me as well as their loved ones.
