My mother spent nearly five comfortable years within Kenroyal Nursing & Residential Care Home. Her care was faultless from the day she arrived to the day of her passing. All the staff showed kindness, and empathy and were always there if you needed them. Mum was always treated with care and dignity.
There was a lovely atmosphere that seemed to permeate through the staff. The care here is second to none.

From the day my mum went into Kenyroal Matron and her team welcomed, not only my mum but her whole family into their 'family'.
Cannot praise enough the care and kindness that was shown to my mum right until she passed peacefully in the home. Would highly recommend.

I find the home very friendly and clean and the staff approachable.
The residents look well cared for. I visited my friend on her Birthday and the staff had put 'Happy Birthday; banners and balloons around her. We all sang to her and even had a cake supplied by the home. A lovely touch.

Mum had to move into Kenroyal Nursing Home after a stay in hospital meant that her old care home could no longer meet her needs.
We were so lucky to find that Kenroyal had a room that she could move into and she spent her last months being cared for there.
It is a well-managed home with lovely friendly
staff, that Mum was happy to share a joke with. She was always well turned out and they even put the lipstick on her that I’d left - we no longer had to book appointments, so it wasn’t just because I was visiting.
I was lucky enough to share a jubilee party at the home and was able to help Mum with her lunch. It was a lovely roast chicken meal.
If you ever needed help with anything, there was always plenty of staff around and they treated Mum with great care and respect. It was also wonderful that the nursing staff were apparent and approachable.

Kenroyal never disappoints! You step in the door and are greeted by people who know you and who you are visiting. The foyer is bright and the table is decorated for Easter, taking into account all beliefs/religions. My friend has lived here for 5 years and she is well looked after, physically, psychologically,
and emotionally. Nothing is too much trouble.

My father-in-law spent his last few months in the care of Kenroyal and I cannot express enough the gratitude we feel as a family for the care he received. The care home was warm and caring, scrupulously clean, and the staff really couldn’t do enough for us. We could rest easy knowing he was being cared
for as if he was family. Thank you all for everything you have done for him, and for us.

My aunt was very well cared for at Kenroyal. She came out of hospital very frail and in very poor health and they nursed her well and kept her dignity in her last few months of life. They let me visit whenever I wanted to and were always friendly.

A very caring and supportive home who totally understand my mother's dementia needs. She has been very happy in the 15 months she has been there, all staff are very friendly and approachable and appear to have been very mindful of Covid guidelines during my weekly visits.

My aunt was a resident due to her dementia. She has been in other nursing homes prior to this and there was no comparison to the care she received at Kenroyal.
The care there was exemplary, all the staff showed the care and compassion she deserved. I cannot thank them enough for all they did for her.

My 94 year old mother-in-law became a resident at Kenroyal after a couple of weeks in hospital with a broken ankle. She was bed-bound and confused. Her dementia meant she hadn't understood how the virus had changed life over the last 12 months and she couldn't retain the information. I'm sure she felt
abandoned and miserable.
When it was obvious her condition was deteriorating rapidly I was able to visit and thus able to see what a marvellous place Kenroyal is.
The home manager is a wonderful lady; kind, thoughtful, always kept her promises and is very obviously completely respected by all the staff.
On my visits, I was greeted warmly by all members of staff. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The home is incredibly clean and well decorated and Covid precautions are fully observed. My mother-in-law was treated with gentle care and respect but died after only 4 weeks in the home. I am confident she was comfortable and cared for.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kenroyal.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) out of 10 for Kenroyal Nursing & Residential 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.865 for Kenroyal Nursing & Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.865

  • 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 Kenroyal Nursing & Residential Care Home is based on 22 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 22 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.
