My mum has been in Barchester Kingsland House Care Home now for over three years. The staff and care she gets cannot be faulted. Since the pandemic hit, they have continued with the highest level of professionalism and throughout last this year, have always put the needs of the residents first. I applaud
their hard work and as we come out of lockdown, with all residents who can be vaccinated now having had their second jab, the future is just a little brighter for all staff and residents.

Reply from Karen Williams, General Manager at Barchester Kingsland House Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review; I know the staff appreciate it. This year has been a challenge for everyone, but we have got through it together; looking forward to an even better year!

I’ve been very impressed with the care given to Mum since she has been in Kingsland House. It was a very difficult time when Mum first arrived, in many ways, but they acted professionally, efficiently and in a very caring manner. The staff are always very friendly and efficient and the visiting, within
the COVID-19 rules, has always gone very smoothly. Mum seems very happy and healthy. Thank you Kingsland House.

Reply from Karen Williams, General Manager at Barchester Kingsland House Care Home

It has been a very challenging time for families and residents. We have managed to facilitate outdoor visits and are currently awaiting the indoor visiting room to be constructed which will take place in November. We are very grateful to all our lovely families who have been so supportive throughout this time.

Very soon after Mum became a resident, the home went into lockdown. All the staff have been very helpful, polite and cheerful. Each time I speak to Mum, she tells me how kind all the staff are. She enjoys the activities, has made new friends and is generally very happy.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

From the minute I first walked into Kingsland House, there was a warm atmosphere that feels welcoming. It felt right from first impressions onwards. Kingsland House have been amazing with my mum and incredibly supportive on her journey to end of life. They have been so welcoming and supportive to me
also. Sometimes, life throws us tragedy and we have to negotiate it as best we can, I highly recommend Kingsland House for all placements but I am particularly grateful to their nursing care during this heartbreaking time. They radiate human kindness and compassion, a clear person-centred care approach with personal touches that go along way.
I believe my mum was the previous manager's last intake and essentially the new manager's first, I cannot speak highly enough of both these Managers. I am grateful to them for giving me hope in a time there felt like there was none, for approaching the situation with such strength and being so kind. A big thank you to the whole team, I am eternally grateful.

My wife has now been in the home for 2 1/2 years. During this period the efforts of staff and the backing from Barchester Homes have produced a gradual improvement in all aspects of the care and well being of residents. The results of this, in my wife's case, is that I believe that she is now more calm
and settled and less agitated than she has been for many yhears. I visit my wife 3 times a week and rarely find her unhappy.

My Mum is 96 years old. She is very special and it gives me great comfort to know that she is being cared for in a very professional way here at Kingsland House.
Mum has been here for nine months now and from the time we viewed the care home until now I have never had the need to complain or find
fault with it. The care staff are very caring and have a way of respecting the individual nature and needs of all their clients.
The rooms are spotless and indeed the whole care home is spotless. Whatever time of day I arrive to see Mum there is always a presence of cleaners.
The dining room and menu cannot be faulted along with the lounges and community rooms. Mum is also welcome to eat her meals in her own room if she has a day when she does not feel like getting up and out of bed.
I have no hesitation of giving Kingsland House a five star rating.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.164)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.164) out of 10 for Barchester Kingsland House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.164 for Barchester Kingsland House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (32 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (15 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 268 Ratings = 4.164

  • 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 Barchester Kingsland House Care Home is based on 19 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 71 registered maximum number of service users is 14.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
