Thank you for taking the time to review Kingsclear, we really appreciate your feedback. At Kingsclear we take great pride in ensuring we deliver high-quality care and facilities and we are very pleased that you have such a positive impression of our home, team and the high-quality care they provide. We are happy to report that we have now reviewed our process for serving food to ensure that our high standards of service can be properly maintained at all times.
We believe it’s important to provide regular events and activities; both group and individual throughout the week as we are committed to creating an environment where our residents enjoy a varied, active and contented life. We are working hard to provide an engaging calendar of daily events and activities (smaller group activities and one-to-one) for our residents and tailor them to the needs and likes of the individual.
We always welcome the opportunity to improve and thank you for sharing your suggestions with us.

I knew I made the right decision to move my dad to Kingsclear when I was able to drive away in my car after a visit and have no worries or concerns that he will be well looked after until my next visit.
My dad tells me he is living in a luxury mansion... I think he may be right!!! Thank you to all the staff.

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.507) out of 10 for Kingsclear 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.507 for Kingsclear is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (41 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 339 Ratings = 4.507
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 Kingsclear is based on 24 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 97 registered maximum number of service users is 19.4, which has been reached with 24 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
As Home Manager I believe that our residents should be treated with the highest quality of care possible and ensure that my team and I always maintain this, whilst making each day memorable. I lead by example and involve myself in the day-to-day life of our community as well as making Kingsclear a happy and enjoyable place in which to live and work.
I enjoy my daily walk rounds and getting the opportunity to see and chat with our residents, seeing them smile and make new friends.
I have worked in care since I was 18 when I started as a domiciliary carer and stayed in this form of care for over eight years where I progressed through various roles including supervisor and management roles. Within this time, I also passed my Level 5 in Health and Social Care Management.
In 2020 I joined Kingsclear as the Dementia Unit Manager, before being promoted to Deputy Manager and am proud to now be Home Manager, all roles have given me the opportunity to offer stability to the people living in our community and my colleagues.
At Kingsclear we are one big family and everything we do is from the heart, delivering care with passion, respect, and empathy as we would want our own family members to be cared for.
The local area is lovely and it is important to us that our home is part of the local community, we always look forward to going out and welcoming the community into our home. In my spare time, I always look forward to spending time with my family when I get the chance.
