About Kingscourt
Kingscourt is a nursing home in Chester, caring for older people who need qualified nursing alongside support with daily life. We also take respite bookings, whether that is to give a family carer a genuine break or to provide nursing care for a short period after illness or a hospital stay. Registered nurses are on site at all hours, working alongside care staff who know the people here well. That familiarity is not a nicety. It is what allows somebody to notice that a person is quieter than usual, or eating less than last week, at a point where something can still be done about it. Beyond the clinical side, we try to keep life here recognisable as life. People decide when to get up, what to wear and how they want to spend the day. Meals are prepared on site and adjusted to what people can manage and actually enjoy. Some want company and the middle of things, others want their own room and their own quiet, and neither is treated as a problem. Families are partners in this. They know things about their relative that no assessment will capture, and we ask them and we listen. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are very welcome to visit before you make any decisions.
