About Kings Court
Kings Court is a residential care home in Newark, supporting older people from across Nottinghamshire, including many people living with dementia. Our ambition here is unfashionably plain: we want the ordinary days to be good ones. Food cooked in our own kitchen that people look forward to. Personal care given calmly and in private. Medication managed properly. Warm rooms that look like they belong to the person in them. Somebody awake at night. Enough going on in the house that there is a reason to come downstairs, and no pressure at all on anybody who would rather not. People keep their own habits wherever we can arrange it. A home that insists everybody rises at the same hour and bathes to a schedule has stopped being a home and become a timetable with beds in it. Dementia care is most of what we do and we have clear views about it. Correcting somebody about the year, or about where a long dead spouse has got to, helps nobody at all. Familiar staff, a calm and unhurried house, and knowing enough of a person's life to find the thread of a conversation help enormously. Relatives are our best source of that history, and we ask for it early rather than as a form filling exercise. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Come and see us at a busy time of day and ask the people who live here what they think of the place.

Dementia care is most of what Kings Court does, by its own account, and it sets out clear views about it.

Ask how distress is handled, whether any area is secured, and what happens as dementia advances.
Residential Care at Kings Court

East Midlands fees commonly run from £850 to £1100 a week, while Nottinghamshire usually pays about £680 to £820. Where the council rate falls short, the difference has to come from somewhere, so raise it early. Ask how the home judges when residential care is no longer sufficient.
