Staff have been really amazing. Mum has been well looked after. We had a lovely tea party for Mum's 93rd birthday and they did all the food for us. She loved having the family there.

The staff are exemplary - both towards my mother and myself. There is a genuine sense of care and respect for the residents and the staff go out of their way to create a family atmosphere. My mother moved in last November and each member of staff I have met has genuinely tried to engage on a personal
level with her, showing immense patience when she has difficulty forming words.
The structure from the top down seems to function incredibly smoothly and as a result, the staff have a sense of their own value.
The idea of putting ceiling hoists throughout the building is sheer genius and should be mandatory in any newly built care home. The staff are not stretched physically and the resident's transition from bed to chair is much less stressful. My mother now goes downstairs regularly whereas she used to spend hours on her own in her room.
Thank you to all of you at Kimberley West!

The staff at Kimberly West are the kindest, most thoughtful people who provide Mum with the best care. They know her so well and adapt the care she receives according to the changes she goes through and her everyday needs.
Under their care, Mum has become much happier and chats more which is lovely.
The
manager is great and has been very kind and totally professional in the help and advice given to us.

Our Mother moved into Kimberly West in June 2024 and stayed there until she passed away in October. The care she received during the time she was there was very kind and caring. She was treated with the utmost dignity in her last days. The staff were also very kind to us as well.
Thank you.

I have been very pleased with the level of care that all staff are providing my mother. It is fully appreciated that, due to my mother's condition after two strokes, her state fluctuates daily. However, the nursing staff are fully able to cope with this and their understanding is excellent. The senior
nursing staff are always available to discuss any issues on a private level with the family.

My mother moved to Kimberley West in Summer 2023 and has, and still is enjoying her time there. All the staff are friendly and helpful and although my mother prefers to stay in her room the staff pop in on her, or occassionally can coax her out for one of the many events on in the lounge. She was wheelchair-bound
when she came and the home has an abundance of winches to move the residents around. My mother enjoys the food and it does look appetising. There are the occasional meetings between staff and the relations of the residents so any questions can be raised.

Great place for my dad, he is happy, well fed and kept clean.
All the staff are very friendly.
He had his own room that is always tidy.
The residents all get together in the lounge on a daily basis.
They have workshops and visitors to the home to entertain the people.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the Wessex Care staff who looked after my sister, first at Little Manor, then at Kimberly East and finally at Kimberly West. All staff were exceptionally caring and friendly and several who cared for her for a period of over six years became almost part of
the family. The staff ensured she was kept as comfortable as possible, especially towards the end of her life and I was always kept well informed as to her state of health.
My sister did not particularly like the food at Kimberly West. Although alternatives to Appetito were always on offer, for some reason, and in spite of our encouragement, she did not often ask for them!

Reply from Alison Stone, Finance Manager at Kimberly West Care Centre

Thank you so much for your kind words, I will be sure to let all the teams in all the homes who cared for your lovely sister over the years know your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to care for your sister and she will be so sadly missed. Many thanks once again.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the people that looked after my mum for the four years that she was in your care. I have never met such amazing staff that not only cared for her, but made sure that we were ok, also. Everyone was so friendly and polite and Mum was in the best of care until
sadly she passed away on the 29th December 2022. I can't thank you all enough, you all work very hard for which I applaud you all. Thank you.

Reply from Jo McMahon, Operations Manager at Kimberly West Care Centre

Thank you so much for your kind words and we are all deeply saddened for the loss of your mother, she will be sadly missed by all at Wessex Care. It was an absolute pleasure providing care and support over the four years. We send our heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

At Kimberly West Care Centre the accent is always on medical, care, respect and friendship. All staff are caring, approachable, professional and aware of residents needs at all times. My dear husband became a resident on 2nd April 2021, being very well cared for at all times. After a long illness, my
dearest husband sadly passed away on Sunday 9th October 2022. My sadest day, but thank god for the loving care of Kimberly West Care Centre staff, I will always remember the Kimberly West Care Staff with love and respect.
I can recommend Kimberly West Care Centre and Wessex Care a special place to live and be cared for.

My husband was admitted to Kimberly West following a few weeks in hospital, with the intention of making him well enough to return home. The staff and auxiliary helpers were all very helpful to my husband and myself. In the first week, I was upset because I felt that things were not being done as I
would like, but as I visited almost daily to spend time with my husband, the staff all responded to my desired standards, and things improved a lot. I lost my husband the week before he was expected to come home, but feel that he was well cared for and respected until the end.

Reply from Jo McMahon, Operations Manager at Kimberly West Care Centre

Many thanks for your kind words and review at such a difficult time for you. We were privileged to look after your husband; he was a wonderful man. We will be sure to send your kind words to the team at Kimberly West.

My auntie had been in other respite/residential homes but none compared to Kimberly West, Salisbury. The care and compassion that was shown, the attention to detail, the cleanliness and ability to keep my auntie clean, was 2nd to none. I appreciate so much everything that the staff did for my auntie
and the way that they communicated with myself. I cannot recommend enough the wonderful service that my auntie received and the dignity that she was shown until she died. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This is the second home my wife was resident in. It was so much better than her first. Although my wife was so difficult to deal with, all the staff were very efficient and did their jobs to the very best of their abilities. Honestly, they were all angels.

My Mother had a 7-week stay at Kimberly West in what's called a discharge to assessment bed. The care she received was first class, carers that really do care, and I know they can be hard to find, treating all residents with dignity and respect. Even finding time to ensure visitors were offered refreshments.
Couldn't fault the team, they work non-stop for their entire 12-hour shift and they have my sincere gratitude.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.960)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.960) out of 10 for Kimberly West Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 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 13 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 4.960 for Kimberly West Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 151 Ratings = 4.96

  • 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 Kimberly West Care Centre is based on 13 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
