Kingsfield Court care home is a purpose-built residential care home based in the community of Earl Shilton, Leicestershire, that also specialises in dementia care. The spacious interiors and homely decorations complement the work of professional carers, and create a calming and homely atmosphere.

En-suite rooms and landscaped gardens delight residents and their families, who also have their own on-site cafe to enjoy. Health and wellbeing needs are very important and the Activities Coordinators work with residents and families to develop an exciting programme of activities and events that are tailored to personal interests.

Residents and staff go out into the community and the community are invited into the home, in order to build positive relationships and enable social inclusion for residents. They are also many intergenerational activities so that residents are able to engage with all age groups, from toddlers to college students.

All care is carried out in a bespoke fashion, with passion, empathy and enthusiasm at the centre of all decisions taken. Carers understand the importance of person-centred care, and the residents needs and preferences are placed at the centre of their care.

Choices at mealtimes are provided to all residents and they take great pride in the dining experience. Personal preferences and nutritional needs are taken into account and the kitchen team work hard to provide a wide range of healthy and tasty choices for residents.

My mother had been in Kingsfield court for the past 5 years, whilst suffering from Dementia. The care has always been supportive and faultless. I'm sad to say that my mother passed away earlier this month and again the staff where all so thoughtful and understanding, mum was on the first floor but to
a person Kingsfield staff where magnificent.
Thank you to two staff members in particular for going above and beyond your care duties. You made a terrible situation bearable. My heart felt thank yous!

My husband was generally looked after very well and his end-of-life care was handled well. The senior carer and night staff when he died were wonderful.

During the year that my mother-in-law was at Kingsfield Court, I have never seen anything untoward. The patience, care and compassion of the staff are exemplary including the end-of-life care which was faultless. The building is super clean and the food is appetising. Every resident is well-treated
and personalised. Well done to all and thank you.

Kingsfield Court offers a very friendly, caring environment. It is like walking into a hotel, not a care home. My aunt has always praised staff for their level of care. The food at Kingsfield is amazing, the catering staff produce amazing food, and it is always presented in a lovely way. They 100% offer
a person-centred approach to the care they provide in all areas.

Popped in to see an old friend. First time since she had moved into Kingsfield Court. Lovely, clean and tidy building and very friendly staff. Made me feel very welcome. Very homely. Was shown to my friend's room by the lovely receptionist and offered a cup of tea by the lady with the tea trolley. Good
to catch up and to be made to feel so welcome.

Mum is 93, has vascular dementia and has severe mobility issues. The decision to move into a care home was agonising. Our first impression of Kingsfield Court was telling... as nice as the decor is, it was the impact the staff had on us that made the decision easier. They have shown that they actually
care. This has been demonstrated in so many ways too numerous to list. At home, she was confined to her room for over a year as we couldn't get her up and down the stairs. At Kingsfield Court, she has a much better quality of life, is able to join in with activities if she wants and has much more contact with others than before. The recent and continuing decline has shown Kingsfield Court acts very professionally in the care they give, whilst also showing they actually do care. They really do try to engender a 'home from home' atmosphere there. From the moment you walk through the reception, you feel that. Appreciate all the staff there for the kindness and care they give Mum.

My 92 year old aunt was admitted to Kingsfield Court on the 23rd December 2022 initially for 4 weeks respite care. She had had several falls at home and had recently returned from hospital and was finding it harder to cope. The staff were absolutely amazing. The member of staff on reception is like
a guardian angel. On our arrival staff came into the room who had cared for my aunt and uncle previously to make her feel more comfortable and welcome. It made the whole experience so much more reassuring. Prior to moving to Kingsfield Court my aunt didn’t leave her house or talk to any people outside the immediate family. She now has a regular stroll with her walker and talks to people who are out and about. She enjoys having her hair styled weekly and her nails painted. Her quality of life is so much better. Needless to say, she is now a permanent resident. Thank you so much for all you do. You are all amazing.

Since moving into Kingsfield Court last November (2022), the family have seen a big improvement in our brother's health. It's reassuring to know that he is being cared for so well. His mobility is so much better along with his appetite, communication (apart from his hearing which is in the process of
being dealt with) and social awareness taking part in the daily activities made available. The staff are faultless from the lady on reception to the carers who are all so friendly and helpful. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Kingfisher Court to anyone in similar circumstances.

My loved one is happy and very well looked after. We live far away and are not able to see him as much as we would like, so it's nice to keep up with pictures and going on social media. We must say they do have lots of things to keep them busy which is great! Well done Kingsfield.
Also to the lovely
receptionist who went out of her way and above and beyond her role. I ordered a Christmas present for my uncle and I knew it would not be gift-wrapped but she kindly offered to do this. Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Kingsfield Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.893 for Kingsfield Court is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.893

  • 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 Kingsfield Court 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, 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.
