My Mum has dementia and moved here about four months ago. What a difference in her since then! She isn't so upset or unsettled as she had been in the previous care home. She has put on weight and is laughing and smiling a lot more. The trained staff and carers are very patient and caring to her and
she now is very settled because of their attention and kindness to her. The manager is very good and always knows how Mum is doing. The staff have a very good handover which helps with the continuity of care.

I am so impressed by the high level of care and attention my mother receives. I know that all her needs are being met which is far more than I could have achieved by having her live with me. All the staff are very caring and despite my mother's challenging behaviour at times, this care does not vary.
I know when I leave her after my visits she is safe and respected.

I have been extremely pleased with the care my dad has received since he arrived at Kingswood. I cannot praise all the staff highly enough. While dad has been at Kingswood he has been treated with great dignity and love. We as a family have also felt great support from the staff, feeling that we belong
to an extended Kingswood family.

After viewing a lot of care homes in the Knowsley area, we found Kingswood Mount to be the best. Staff and residents were always happy and pleasant. In the first few days if being in care there was a vast improvement. To see my dad out of bed and eating by himself was a pleasure. The active movement
like this has not been done in weeks. I would recommend Kingswood to friends and family.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Business Development Manager at Kingswood Mount Care Home

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our care and services at Kingswood Mount. Your positive feedback will, I am sure, give confidence to those people still searching for care and hopefully the experience you have had shared will make a difference to them in considering the Mount as a 'forever home' for their loved one. As always, if at any time you do want to make a suggestion about how the care and services can be improved in the home, the team are more than happy to meet with you. They are all there to help and take great satisfaction from seeing our residents enjoy happy lives. Kind regards

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother moved here recently and I have been very impressed with the care she is receiving. There are plenty of staff and they are very approachable and helpful. My mother has settled in quickly and is enjoying the activities including a reading group, arts and crafts, gardening and singing.
I
like the fact that there is a separate conservatory we can use when I visit my mum as it's a bit quieter and gives more privacy than the main lounge. If I'm there over a meal time the staff serve my mum's meal in the conservatory so I'm able to visit at any time of day.
There is a large garden with access from the lounge and conservatory, my mother enjoys going out but needs someone to take her as she is at risk of falling; the staff are enabling her to go out regularly.
I am very pleased we chose Kingswood Mount for my mother and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nursing home for a relative with dementia.

The staff etc at Kingswood Mount are lovely and go above and beyond what is required at all times. Not only did they help my father settle in, they assisted his family in coming to terms with what was a difficult time/experience for the whole family. My father is now extremely happy, settled and enjoying
the rest of life with staff whom feel and treat my father as family. The staff and assistant manager are real life superstars and heroes.

From day one we were made to feel so very welcome, my dad has had a very varied life, and we thought he may not settle in too well, in fact the opposite happened. It has been so good for him, he is a new man, this home has brought him up to optimum health, can't explain what a relief it has been to
know we have done the best thing for my dad.

Cutbacks are affecting staffing, which leaves minimum staff to get residents up. The food could be improved upon, a more diverse menu, i.e including cheese and crackers as a pudding alternative. The home is clean and has been redecorated beautifully. Although the staff keep being changed and this makes
the residents anxious.

The embellishment on the corridors has improved the appearance of the home, the use of aprons at mealtimes gives it a homely feeling. The curtains are beautiful and serve a useful purpose. Occasionally I have to wait a long time to be transferred from dining room to my room. Overall I am very happy
here. I find the staff very pleasant, some of my visitors make comments of how nice the staff are.

My mum prefers to stay in her room even for her meals and the carers allow this. All carers are excellent and mum is well cared for. I do not feel there is enough stimulation in the lounge and entertainment repetitive and on the cheap. I would like mum to have some one to one time as she doesn't go
in the lounge, but she only gets this from family. Lounge is overcrowded and noisy. Entertainment in the manor house is far better.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Business Development Manager at Kingswood Mount Care Home

Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to post your review of the home. I perfectly understand your points regarding those residents whose preference it is to stay in their rooms, having the choice of where to spend your days is very important. As a consequence of your feedback, there will be efforts made to ensure an increase in frequency of room visits for your mother, should she wish this herself. Please be assured that the management team would be more than happy to meet with you and chat through any concerns which you may have, we are here to help with any aspect of your mothers stay with us.

My mother has only been in the home since June 2015. The home has only been taken over by the new owners in March 2015. We have seen vast improvements carried out and extra staff now working there. There are more permanent staff now which is far better for the residents rather than agency staff. It
is nice to see a receptionist to greet you.
The home is very secure with systems upgraded recently. There is an enthusiastic team with good leadership. My mother has now settled there, having to leave her old home quite quick due to closure. There are very good plans in place for the future and regular resident meetings to keep us updated. Staff are very pleasant and are committed to the job. They are keen to have residents families be involved. My mother feels very safe there, I would recommend it to anyone.

My mother has extensive care needs. Since she has been at Kingswood Mount, there has been a management change which has afforded a positive shift in her care and the homes décor and furnishings.
I would not hesitate to recommend this home. The staff are very caring and there are most staff per patient
than I have seen in the three years she has resided here. They show a patient centred approach to daily life and nothing is too much for them, open to new ideas and criticisms. I feel that my mother is safe and definitely happy.

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.

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!
