  • Kings Lodge, Camberley
Kings Lodge, Camberley is a purpose-built home nestled beautifully in 15 acres of woodland. Aura Care Living is a high end brand, which, through innovative ideas, found a way to perfectly merge magnificent surroundings, design and décor with an excellent approach to both care and lifestyle.

Kings Lodge's philosophy is based on the belief that people living with the requirement for help or care should not compromise on their lifestyle, happiness or enjoyment. With a huge emphasis on living rather than just care, residents enjoy a level of activity, productivity and involvement that surpasses what people have come to expect in the care homes.

Residents are in control of what they do. They have a say in everything that affects them and through the home's 8 Pillars, the promises made will be kept, enabling residents to continue life long passions and continue to make their decisions with support not hindrance.

The home believes that a high level of care is important. They also recognise that people's activities, interests and lifestyles are part of this high quality care and Kings Lodge will always ensure that residents are engaged, stimulated, facilitated in anything they wish to do, and above all, happy!

Kings Lodge is proud to be rated as Good by the CQC in their latest inspection on 25th November, 2019.

My parents moved into Kings Lodge just over 6 months ago and we have never once regretted moving them there. Previously, they were with an alternative high profile provider for a year and a half, who we had gradually become disillusioned with. Tragically, my mother passed away earlier this month and
I have to say that the compassion shown by everyone at Kings Lodge has amazed us all. The support has been so much appreciated and, my father, who is now on his own, has been very carefully cared for and watched as he comes to terms with what has happened. Unreservedly, I would recommend this kind and loving place if you are considering a care home in this area.

Reply from Lisa Strevens, Director Of Services at Kings Lodge

Clive thank you for taking the time to write a review for us on Carehome.co.uk. Your mum was one of the family at Kings Lodge and will be missed by all the team here.


We appreciate your kind words and will share your review with all the staff. We wish you and your father the best of luck.

My Mother had a short respite stay at Kings Lodge in Camberley, I cannot praise the staff enough, they were all very professional, friendly, caring and treated my Mother with dignity and respect. She had a beautiful room, and really enjoyed the lovely food, she said it was like staying at a 5-star luxury
hotel.


My Mother has had several respite stays at care homes and Kings Lodge is excellent and comes top of the list, l would not hesitate in recommending Kings Lodge to anyone who is considering a care home for themselves or a member of their family.


Reply from Lisa Stevens, Director of Service at Kings Lodge

Many thanks for your lovely review, we are so glad your Mum enjoyed her stay with us, and look forward to seeing her again in the future.
From all the team at Kings Lodge.

My mother stayed at Kings Lodge for respite care, it was her first time away from home since being diagnosed with Dementia. After a nervous beginning, the welcoming staff helped her to adjust to her new surroundings, it being very strange to her.
She was soon joining in with the other guests and daily
activities, also enjoying the food and her accommodation. During her short stay, she was also treated to a trip into town where they visited the centre and had a coffee. When we went to collect her she was sorry to leave and said she would miss the people and all the staff. She has mentioned enjoying her stay on several occasions since returning home.

My mother has been in the home for ten days and settled in really well. I am just thrilled with the standard of the care and facilities offered to her. The staff are wonderful and exceptionally caring and treat all the residents with respect and dignity. There are two activities a day so they are kept
occupied and the standard of the rooms are exceptional. It has made such a huge difference to my life knowing that she is settled, happy, has outstanding care and has company.


I visited many residential homes before choosing this one and am so delighted at the decision I made as I consider I could not have made a better choice. Knowing that she is happy and enjoying her new environment is so important as it's a life choice that you never think you will have to make for a loved one.


The facilities are outstanding, with its own cinema and hairdressing salon, craft room and a lovely environment to spend the latter part of your life in.

From the moment I walked through the door to make enquiries for my mum, the service has been first class, from the director of services to all the care assistants. The care my mum receives is second to none, she is so happy. A perfect place to spend the remaining years of her wonderful life.

Our whole experience with this organisation and establishment has been exemplary.
The environment is beautiful and the whole staff team is amazing - so professional, kind, supportive and anxious to meet all mum's needs.
A really delightful place (with an impressive philosophy) for mum to spend her
days and where she settled happily virtually immediately.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.458)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.458) out of 10 for Kings Lodge 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 21 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 4.458 for Kings Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (208 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (27 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.458

  • 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 Lodge 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, 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.

What do I love about my role? That feeling of knowing that no matter how large or small, you’ve made someone’s day. Both of my roles are varied which I enjoy. I love the administrative areas and client liaison with relatives, however I just adore spending time doing activities. I enjoy being creative and implementing activities that take the residents back to a personal memory. Shop! It gives me great please in just making someone happy and laughing.


Favourite Activity – I’m clearly a repressed Barber! I created this activity and love to “dress the scene” and set the mood. “The Blind Barber” was so popular that the gentleman want it to feature every week. I enjoy it so much and feel I missed my vocation in life!


I also get great pleasure in taking the residents for a walk or push to see my horses. They often come to visit here too.


I’m a qualified Art Restored & Art Consultant and ran my own business for 5 Years and managed a Gallery for 15 years.


Keen Equestrian & have two horses who are located next door so I love to take the residents to visit them. Being outside and keeping active is an absolute passion with rugby and golf leading as some of my favourite sports!
