My mother has been a long term resident and has received very good care throughout her stay.
The current staff and management are particularly good and treat my mother with dignity and respect in a kind and friendly manner, nothing is too much trouble.

I have peace of mind knowing that my parents are well cared for.
I am always kept up to date regarding any health issues and feel my opinion counts.
Every member of staff is friendly and have a good relationship with my self and my parents.
The manager is approachable and has introduced herself
to us and always appears attentive when we visit.

I'm very happy with the care and respect that my dad receives from the staff. He has settled in and really enjoys his meals, likes to get involved with the daily events. His room is always tidy, cleaned and bed made every day.
The staff at Kingscourt are always polite and welcoming when you visit.

From the first steps through the doors of Kingscourt Nursing Home, I knew this was the forever home for our dad. The welcome from the staff was first class. Being told that the home was dad's home and that we could visit 24/7. We could also have meals with him. The staff at Kingscourt Nursing Home I
cannot fault on anything. If dad has a fall or goes on medication, I am informed straight away. Kingscourt Nursing Home is a lovely home where everyone has their own room in which you can put your personal things in ie chair, TV etc. It is also very clean and just been decorated.

My father moved to Kingscourt after suffering a stroke. My mum had passed away a few months previously. This was such an emotional time for all the family. We are so happy that he is more than cared for. The warmth and care is extremely outstanding. We cannot thank Kingscourt for not only taking the
pressure the family were experiencing but the love and support give my father and us. Everything about the home is so good. From management, care workers, the care he receives. We know he is being well looked after.

There is a warm and homely feel to Kingscourt. My mother's background is not one of 4* hotel experiences, and the building, although purpose-built, does not present as such, yet the care and understanding she receives each day are very much Four Star. The environment is relaxed and friendly, and the
staff are respectful in their care and attention. She has been living at Kingscourt for 4 years now, and minor issues have cropped up along the way, all dealt with immediately in a professional, satisfactory way. All in all, a very good choice for my mother, pitched just right for her experience and expectations. Very happy.

My mother moved to Kingscourt Nursing Home for end of life care. The manager and her deputy were very helpful in expediting the arrangements. She had a lovely room (albeit small) and care was taken to ensure the correct type of bed was available. We were made to feel welcome and free to visit at any
time. Excellent personal care was provided to Mum. She suddenly deteriorated the morning after arriving. Staff immediately informed my husband and we were able to be with her constantly. I slept on the floor of her room that night. We were able to come and go during the evening and overnight, despite staff having to unlock the front door for us when they were busy. When she died they were sensitive, sympathetic, and helpful in making the necessary arrangements.
I cannot comment on food or activities as we did not use these but I observed that there was plenty for residents to do and company for them in the lounge. I assume food would be good; I was given buttered toast the morning after I stayed overnight.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.193)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.193) out of 10 for Kingscourt Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.193 for Kingscourt Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (37 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 150 Ratings = 4.193

  • 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 Kingscourt Nursing Home is based on 11 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 11 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.
