Kingswood Mount is an amazing care home, staff truly love the vulnerable people in their care. I have every confidence that my mum is in the best of hands. She was made to feel incredibly welcone from the word go. The manager even arranged transport for her from Cumbria to Liverpool. The care here extends
to the family members and I am proud to say I feel amongst friends when I visit.

I’d like to applaud the amazing staff at Kingswood Mount for all their hard work and dedication during the most stressful and dangerous times.
My mother has been at the home for the past two and a half years. I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful home. The care my mother receives is brilliant.
She is well-fed and taken care of to the highest degree. I could not wish for a better home!

A caring friendly environment, where the needs of the clients come first. The home have made every effort to keep me updated on my father’s wellbeing during the current crisis and have worked hard to organise window visits. My father looks well cared for and happy, which is all I can ask. In more normal
times there are always activities taking place to keep the clients stimulated.

My mother has received excellent care in the 6 years she has been in this home. In spite of occasional very challenging behaviour she has been treated with love, respect, good humour and very professionally. The place is always clean and residents get lots of activities and stimulation appropriate to
their needs and abilities.
Over the period of lockdown my mother has continued in good spirits due to the care she is shown by all staff and carers. I have nothing but praise for this home.

Permanent staff carers are excellent, look after Mam with dignity and talk to her. Not sure when it comes to supply carers they don't know residents and some don't talk to them when giving them food/drink so I think you should employ more permanent staff.
Home is always clean, can't fault cleanliness.
All
staff very friendly with the residents.
In all, Mam looked after well, she is well-loved and I am happy with her being there.

Reply from Honor Keatley, Managing Director at Kingswood Mount Care Home

Many thanks for your review. Recruitment is ongoing, however, we also try to ensure, when using agency staff that we have the same people for continuity. It is great to know that your mam is well-loved.

My mum came to Kingswood Mount in June 2016 with 9 grade 4 bedsores, with the care of the wonderful staff there, Mum's sores healed but are still vulnerable. If staff see any redness by Mum's already vulnerable sores they immediately tell the nurses. The time Mum has been there tells everything about
Kingswood Mount. Well done everyone!

My wife has severe dementia and cannot communicate because of speech and hearing problems. She was having problems making sense of her world and had to be given her medication covertly because she was refusing to take it. My two daughters and I found it impossible to satisfy her basic needs of medication,
personal hygiene/toileting and freedom from anxiety. Since admission to Kingswood Mount, she is taking her meds, smiling more frequently and showing no signs of distress, thanks largely to the professionalism and dedication of the staff.

Our dad was transferred to Kingswood Mount from the hospital in early March 2018 following a hip operation. It was our wish for him to go to Kingswood Mount as we had viewed it and heard very good things about it. We absolutely made the right decision as every member of staff we met from the manager
to the nurses, care staff, domestics and activity coordinator was truly amazing and treated my dad and ourselves with respect and dignity.


Our dad sadly passed away after a short stay but the care, love and attention he receives from every member of staff was heartwarming and made us feel special during a very difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they really went above and beyond anything we expected.


A huge thanks to all the wonderful staff at Kingswood Mount.

My dad moved to Kingswood Mount early in 2016. Throughout his time living there we've had nothing but praise for the care and support he and all of the family have received from the whole team during some very difficult and challenging times.
I've been so impressed with the professional, yet loving
approach to supporting residents in this stage of their lives and we have now also experienced "end of life care" Kingswood style and can honestly say that I wouldn't have chosen for dad to end his days anywhere else.
All of the staff, both day and night, delivered genuine, tender loving care in the last few weeks of his life, liaising with GPs to ensure he could remain at Kingswood and providing us with sustenance and hugs as required!
Thank you all.

I can't thank the Nursing staff and care workers enough for making my mums last few months a good one. Before my mum got to Kingswood Mount she was in a terrible state due to vascular dementia, but after a few days of being cared for at this nursing home she was a totally different person and resembled
the kind and loving person she was before dementia took its toll. Thank you for caring for my Mum, and thank you for helping us get through the difficult task of saying goodbye. I would recommend this home to everyone, your loved one will get quality care and treated with dignity.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Kingswood Mount Care Home

My friend was in 2 previous care homes which were not very good since moving to Kingswood Mount she has much improved, has gained weight and she is walking again. She joins in activities, she seems very happy in there and she interacts with other residents. All the above had stopped when in other homes
and she looks clean and well looked after every time I visit her. Staff are always happy and smiling and nothing is too much trouble. It is a pleasure to visit keep it up guys.

Many thanks for your review, how pleased I am to hear such a success story! The team works so hard to settle new residents into the home and this sets them up well to enjoy their lives in their new home. The satisfaction they have from doing such a great job is evident. Kind regards.

My 90-year-old mother moved to this home in July 2017, after her previous home closed down.
This home is excellent, the staff and management are outstanding. Facilities and activities are lovely.

Mum has really settled well over the past year and even though her illness has rendered her less mobile the level of care is still outstanding and in fact has been wonderful to witness. The family and I are so grateful to the staff here who care and maintain my mums care to such a high standard and
are a credit to their profession. I would not hesitate to recommend Kingswood Mount to anyone.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.657)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.657) out of 10 for Kingswood Mount Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.7 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 10 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 3.657 for Kingswood Mount Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (47 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 3.657

  • 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 Kingswood Mount Care Home is based on 10 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 10 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: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

Hi, my name is John. I am the Home Manager of Kingswood Mount Care Home.


I have been a nurse since 2002 and have been a Home Manager since 2012.


What keeps me doing the role is a sense of family and community. I don’t see the nursing home just as a nursing home, I see it as a big house and at the core of the house is family. That family includes the team, the residents and the resident's families and loved ones treating each other with respect and dignity what a good family should do. It's a sense of belonging to the community that brings out the best in all of us and my home at Kingswood Mount Care Home feels like it very much belongs to the local community. A good manager involves everyone in decisions and choices that are made for the home, and I want all our families to also feel part of our big family.

Hello, my name is Clare. I am the Deputy Home Manager at Kingswood Mount Care Home.


I have worked in social care for over 20 years within dementia and residential settings across Liverpool. I joined Kingswood Mount Care Home as a Senior Care Assistant in 2015; in that time I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge within the management setting, I am also working towards completing my level 5 in leadership and management to further my skills within my role.


I take pride in working at Kingswood Mount Care Home and working alongside our incredible and talented team. I believe everyone should be treated with dignity and respect and all our team members to promote person-centred care to our wonderful residents.


I feel I am a very approachable and positive person and will always be happy to stop what I am doing to talk to anyone of our residents/staff and families.

Karen Owens

Job Title: Activities Coordinator

Joined: 2014

Hello, my name is Karen. I am the Activity Co-Ordinator at Kingswood Mount Care Home.


I joined Kingswood Mount Care Home in 2014 working as a Care Assistant on days/nights which I enjoyed very much. I was then given an opportunity to apply for the activity role here at Kingswood Mount Care Home, and I am so glad I did! I find this role very rewarding and fulfilling, as to see the enjoyment that our wonderful residents get when doing activities with them is amazing. I feel I make a huge difference in their daily life and I get to spend quality time with the residents either on a 1-1 basis delivering person-centred activities or within the group. We do a wide range of activities here at Kingswood Mount Care Home throughout the day and also have live entertainers in and our residents love to have a good knees-up and a dance!
