Kings Court Middlebeck is truly a wonderful care home. It is warm, cosy, spotless and the staff are wonderful. I visit on a regular basis. The residents are always smiling, which is wonderful to see. The rooms have a home from home feel. Various activities take place, from entertainment, bingo, crafting
to name but a few. The front of house manager, is welcoming and sympathetic, and like the staff, is always prepared to go the extra mile. Thank you all.

Since our first visit, we have been impressed with the quality of the facilities offered at King's Court and the kindness, courtesy and care offered to residents. A particular strength is the quality of activities provided e.g a Christmas themed activity on offer everyday in December and the opportunity
for family to join their loved one on Christmas Day for Christmas lunch. We are more than happy with King's Court and all that they provide.

From our initial visit to view, through to check-in on 5th Jan, we have had a relaxed and stress-free time at Kings Court. Our rooms are comfortable and modern, we are impressed by the professional and welcoming staff. All our needs are met and our queries are answered. We are enjoying the food very
much too. Highly recommended.

My mother-in-law has been at King's Court for 3 months now.
I am very happy with the care she is receiving. Her room is bright and comfortable, her bathroom could not be better. Everything is very clean.
There is always plenty of staff available. The carers are cheerful and always ready to help.
They
do not impose any unwanted routine and she chooses when and what she does.
We had a lovely Christmas lunch with her and other residents: the lunch was superb!

My mum was admitted in August when we were about to return to Australia at short notice. The staff were fantastic and of great assistance. Mum is very happy in Kings Court and has a lovely room and enjoys the craft facilities and food.
Living so far away in Australia it is a great relief Mum is safe
and well cared for by great staff.

We cannot rate Kings Court highly enough! Our relative was so apprehensive about residential care but Kings Court provides a real home-from-home atmosphere. We have watched our relative come alive again, eating wonderful food (with a glass of wine) living independently with help from the staff who are
all excellent and cater for the individual needs. Just wonderful.

Walking through the doors for the first time was very calming. The staff were helpful and made us feel welcome. My sister was shown around and into her lovely clean and fresh bedroom. The food looked appetising and the smell was lovely. So pleased with it all, the staff smiling and helpful. Any problems
the staff had, they talk to us and help my sister feel at home. So pleased with it all.

Kings Court is a beautiful care home. Whenever I visit the atmosphere is always pleasant and the residents are well cared for. My sister-in-law's room is always very clean and tidy, it looks well-kept. I would not hesitate to recommend Kings Court to family and friends, the staff are very caring and
always listen to our concerns and keep us informed of my sister-in-law's progress. Well done and keep it up.

This is the second time my friend has stayed for respite care at Kings Court in Newark. I have been a regular visitor on both occasions. I have found the staff to be very caring and friendly, my friend was made to feel very welcome and cared for by all of them. The place, quite honestly is like a 5-star
hotel, the food is excellent and visitors are encouraged to stay for a meal with the residents. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and there are lounges and outside spaces in the garden to sit as well. All in all I would be very happy to have my relative/friend stay there and would hope that if the need should arise in my future there would be space for me to stay there too.

A very hard and emotional decision to move Mum to Kings Court but a good one! Mum has settled very well, helped by supportive staff and twice daily activities that take place. Mum is treated with dignity and respect. Has a lovely spacious room with an excellent ensuite. There are numerous areas to sit
and chat and even a cinema room! Mum is very happy and we have peace of mind

Mum became a resident at Kings Court on May 10th. She has a particularly traumatic experience in hospital and a local rehab centre. In her words, she no longer wished to be alive. The care staff and support (everyone) here gently and considerately nursed her back to her 'old self'. She is beginning
to really enjoy life again. Yesterday she took part in chair yoga. She talks about how grateful sand lucky she is to be at Kings Court. I cannot thank the staff enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Kings 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 62 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 62 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 4.896 for Kings Court is calculated as follows: ( (672 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 737 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 Kings Court is based on 62 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 62 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.
