Welcome to Kingswood Manor Care Home, a historic Grade 2 listed building built in 1839 and a well-known local landmark, with a beautiful sweeping staircase, painted ceilings and original cornices.

Care within the home is led by an experienced and dedicated team of nursing staff and carers. This well trained team ensures that residents are cared for in a ‘person-centred’ way which ensures that residents' needs and wishes are understood and recorded.

This bespoke approach to resident care ensures high levels of resident satisfaction and excellent quality of care quality. Kingswood Manor Care Home is recognised in the local areas as the nursing home which delivers a standard of end of life which is ‘way and above’ other nursing environments. The excellent standard of nursing care is well known among local clinical professionals.

Special mention must be made of the ‘Community Partnership Award ‘given by Educate 2016 to Kingswood Manor Care Home and Springwood Heath Primary School for their collaboration project which still continues today. Children from the school come to read to residents and also come and talk, sing and spend time getting to know each other. Residents absolutely ‘love’ these weekly visits and both generations really make the most of their time together.

As you would expect, the home has a dedicated catering team to ensure that the menu consists of home cooked nutritious meals.

The care at Kingswood Manor is excellent. The kindness, warmth, and professionalism of all the staff from the home manager to the support staff is wonderful. The whole atmosphere of the home is one of positivity and 'can do' attitude. The friendly staff can't do enough to help. Very clean and tidy,

Mum was a resident at Kingswood Manor Nursing Home for a month before passing away.
The care she received was excellent in every respect, daytime and through the night.
As a family, we were with mum during the last days of her life and the care and compassion we received were amazing at such a hard
time, the staff at Kingswood Manor are so caring and genuine.
I only wish it had been our first choice.

Mum spent her last few months in this home. The care was excellent and the home is in a beautiful building. There is an extensive range of activities ranging from visits to local parks, different entertainers, crafts, events around days such as the Grand National, Strictly come Dancing and Remembrance
Day. There is often singing, sometimes spontaneous and Mum enjoyed her time here very much.

My mother has been in Kingswood Manor Nursing Home for the last five weeks and during that time we have seen a remarkable improvement in her health. This, I am sure is due to the very good care and attention that has been given. We find the staff to be very helpful and friendly. Any concerns we have
are dealt with quickly and efficiently.

The staff are accommodating, caring, patient and kind.
I personally couldn't wish for Mum to be placed in a better home.
We are welcomed when we visit and if there are any problems or concerns regarding Mum they will let us know.
It is a home, not an institution. The staff go to great lengths to
entertain the residents and make their stay as pleasurable as they can, often involving relatives to attend. We never feel excluded and like to help when we can.
At the end of the day, we as relatives, want our Mum to have the best care she could have. If she is happy we have peace of mind.
I couldn't fault Kingswood Manor. 'A' stars all round.

Kingswood Manor is a beautiful old house and care has been taken to make it comfortable for the residents. My father's room was newly decorated and the main lounge was well organised, comfortable and efficiently run.
The most outstanding thing about the home was the level of professional care, nursing
care and general friendliness of the staff. I am very grateful for the care taken with my father.

Kingswood Manor Nursing Home is an excellent home and we have no hesitation in recommending it. We moved our friends from a substandard home to Kingswood Manor and immediately his and our stress and anxiety lifted. He needed palliative care and on every level, the staff are professional caring and compassionate.
Their warmth and understanding were uplifting. In his final days, we cannot thank enough both day and night staff for the care and support given to him and his son.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I have seen both sides of Kingswood Manor. My father in law was a palliative resident in 2016. Their care was above reproach. In the end, they took care of my family as much as they did him. They took care of us mentally and physically so we could focus our attention on being there for him. The staff,
home and care were second to none.


I am now looking after a friend in Kingswood and see an entirely different aspect to them. He is a resident who moved in with his zest for life gone. I have watched them bring him back to life and put a smile on his face. They take him on outings and bring him to meet me and my daughter for lunch. He has gained weight under they care and he now has things to look forward to. There is always an activity in the lounge and entertainment to partake in. He has never been so happy.


Having experienced both aspects of this home, I highly recommend it for any needs you may have. They are truly a caring and loving environment for your family or friend.

My mum in law came into Kingswood quite poorly and in need of love and attention. Within days she was settled into her new home and within weeks she was very much improved. I believe the improvement is a credit to the staff of Kingswood who seem to have the time, expertise and love needed to make the
residents feel special.

On entering Kingswood Manor there are no offensive smells to greet you. (A good sign right away) The atmosphere is lovely and relaxed, the common areas and mum's bedroom are kept clean. The staff are wonderful, attentive, patient and caring. They are a really dedicated team. The lady who arranges activities
is amazing. She does an excellent job of providing entertainment for the residents daily. She is also very caring and has an abundance of patience. The "homely" feel in Kingswood Manor is nurtured by all staff from the manager down. I would recommend Kingswood Manor to anyone who wants their loved one safe and well cared for.

Since September I have been bringing a group of 14 and 15-year-old students to visit some of the residents in Kingswood Manor Nursing Home as part of an inter-generational befriending project. We have been impressed by the care offered to residents, especially the activities that are organised for
residents. As well as music sessions, games, themed events and outings, the home seeks to provide individuals with activities tailored to their personal needs and interests. When our students were introduced to their older friend, it was clear that each resident’s story and interests were known in detail. Throughout the project, we have been guided with skill and sensitivity by the activities coordinator, who has suggested different approaches and provided resources to support the developing friendships. It has been a privilege for our young people to enter a little into the life of Kingswood Manor Nursing Home and several have said that Wednesday afternoon is the highlight of their week.

This is an accurate view of Kingswood Manor Nursing Home. After looking at several nursing homes in Liverpool, which I may say were filthy and upon meeting the owners, they seemed only interested in money, not patients, I found Kingswood Manor Nursing Home. They are 5 star in my true opinion where all
staff are caring and committed to all residents. They have plenty of outings and entertainment, the food is lovely and plenty of snacks throughout the day.

As soon as we entered Kingswood Manor Nursing Home, we saw all of the residents smiling and knew this was the care home for our Aunt.

My mum came to this care home for palliative care. We were very nervous as many care homes receive bad press. From the minute we walked in we were put at ease. The room was bright and clean and recently decorated. The staff came up straight away to introduce themselves. My mum felt so secure during
these last two weeks of her life. The nurses and carers were warm and professional towards her and genuinely caring. Constantly in her room tending to her, and she maintained her dignity to the end. The staff looked after my brother and I too and even gave us our own room to rest during mums last days. I really cannot fault it in any way whatsoever. It exceeded all expectations on every single level. I can't thank the staff enough.

I was introduced to Kingswood Manor by the Activities Coordinator, with whom I had previously worked elsewhere. I visit once a week and hold sing-along sessions in the lounge.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.521)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.521) out of 10 for Kingswood Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.521 for Kingswood Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (71 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.521

  • 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 Manor Care Home is based on 18 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 18 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.

Hi, my name is Layla. I am the Deputy Home Manager at Kingswood Manor Care Home.


I enjoy working with the team to provide the best possible person-centred care for our residents. I worked as a health care assistant from the age of 18 and later gained an honour’s degree in Psychology. Working with older adults and people living with dementia led me to study Mental Health Nursing. I gained experience from my positions as a Nurse, Deputy, and Registered Manager in various care homes and I am very fond of working with the older population and value the experiences and wisdom which they impart. Having family members live in care homes has provided me with insight into what is important to the people in our care, and their loved ones.


I enjoy spending time with my partner and our two cats, as well as our family and friends. I love reading, hiking, mountain climbing, riding, and music festivals.
