Always receive a warm and friendly welcome and always ready to help. The refurbishments are much improved, lovely, bright, airy, fresh and clean. Mum is always well looked after, clean and tidy and enjoys the many activities that are provided.

Excellent in everyone from day one. The person in charge is excellent at her job, very helpful in every way.
I am extremely pleased with every member of staff, they are so kind and helpful. My brother has been here for three months in a few days, I am very pleased with food, he looks so much better
and is well-fed. He's kept clean and tidy. The young carers have given him a marvellous shave if you see photos from when he arrived to now, you would see the difference. Thank you to everyone.

The family and I are extremely grateful for the care that Mum receives. As Mum's dementia and condition deteriorates, it is so reassuring to know Mum retains the quality of life I was unable to maintain through independent living. Mum receives great care, support and dignity, especially from her core
care team. Thank you for all you continue to do. Mum would have died years ago I feel, without your professional care home setting.

An excellent experience from start to date with Mum's care. The team have taken all the worry from me and our family. As Mum had not had a good experience and her care needs had escalated. My brother has tears of happiness to see how at home Mum is at Kington Court. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Kington Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 5.000 for Kington Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Kington Court Nursing Home is based on 20 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 20 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.
