This residential home is a potential accident waiting to happen. Care Commission Report 2021 last visit comments stated there was an increased risk that people could be harmed. Safety gone from Good to Requires Improvement. My Mother in Law went to Kingsfield on 21st Oct 2024. The room was small and required renovation due to wallpaper torn off the wall. Sat 9th Nov hit several times in the head and body by a dementia patient, no action taken by the police. Internal investigation after my concerns raised to the level of staffing on the day said that the Duty manager accepted her error in judgement covering for the absent cook. Thursday 21st Nov a fall in her room, paracetamol prescribed for the pain. Chest infection noted as well. Thursday 12th Dec admitted by district nurse to AMU unit due to flu, L3 fracture in lower spine and de-hydration due to the lack of liquids and chronic bed sores due to lack of attention. No wonder duty manager has left after 2 months in the role.

I have always found Kingsfield to be a caring, welcoming residence. The staff are very committed, hard-working and treat all residents with respect and dignity. Perhaps a small garden would be beneficial. But a very friendly home from home.

Since my aunty moved into Kingsfield, she is very happy. She does not want to move as often says this is family. Her room is lovely and she is very happy. Staff care for my aunty very well. We are very happy with Kingsfield.

Visited Nanna in the lounge and she was happy and interacting with others. The activities were going on and all were encouraged to join in, it was lovely.

I have visited Kingsfield Residential Care Home on many occasions to see Dad. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and helpful. The care that Dad receives is outstanding. All staff display these same levels of care and attention. I can therefore commend Kingsfield as a superb residential care home and wish to thank them for their unwavering commitment.

The resident's sister and I visit once a month. We always feel welcome and comfortable. Having seen the condition both were in before coming here it was a relief to see them both looking so well cared for. Both of them looked well-nourished, clean and much better. There is a lovely atmosphere here and always smells fresh. Having been in care employment myself everyone seems happy and content. We leave without any issues.

My friend seems very settled (most of the time). Her diagnosis is Alzheimer's dementia-so occasional changes in demeanour are to be expected. Her moments of 'changed' behaviour seem much less than when at home. She is always clean, though sometimes incontinent of urine there has never been any smell on her in her room (only once) or in any public areas. Her room has been decorated recently (09/02/2023). The staff always are patient, helpful and kind in their 'dealing' with my friend. Very happy with her care.

I have no problems with my mum's care. She has settled in well. She never has a bad word to say about anything. She is well looked after and happy.

I have always felt welcome and listened to, the manager and staff keep me well informed regarding my relative's care and wellbeing. There is a calm and cheerful atmosphere within the home and the residents are always clean, tidy and well cared for.

My mother was with Kingsfield for five years from the age of 84 after a diagnosis of dementia. Initially, she was able to engage in her usual hobbies and interests in the wider community with the support of family and friends. This individual preference was respected and supported within Kingsfield. Later, her needs changed but she was able to continue to have a good quality of life within the home. Regular chiropody and hairdressing visits were much appreciated. There were parties, live music and other entertainments provided too plus an activities co-ordinator providing additional time and attention for individuals. The standard of care was excellent with committed and professional staff providing a personal and loving environment so that it had a family atmosphere rather than an institutional one.
