About Kingsley House

Here at Kingsley House, we provide nursing home care in the heart of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, for people with a wide range of needs and circumstances. We support older adults, younger adults, and people living with dementia, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break from their usual arrangements, or whose families need some time to rest. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. Our aim is to make sure that everyone who comes through our doors feels genuinely at home, treated with respect, and supported in the way that suits them best. Care is not one size fits all, and we take time to understand each person as an individual, their routines, their preferences, and what matters most to them in daily life. Our nursing team is on hand around the clock, providing clinical support alongside the warmth and companionship that makes a real difference to quality of life. We work closely with residents, families, and healthcare professionals to make sure care plans reflect what people actually want, and we review these regularly as needs change over time. We were pleased to receive a rating of Good from the Care Quality Commission at our most recent inspection, which reflects the commitment of our whole team to safe, attentive, and compassionate care. That said, we are always looking at how we can do things better, and we welcome feedback from residents and their loved ones as a matter of course. If you would like to find out more about life at Kingsley House, or to arrange a visit, we would be very happy to hear from you. We are always glad to show people around and answer any questions they may have.

More about the care at Kingsley House

Respite Care at Kingsley House

Respite in a nursing home usually needs an assessment first, so start the conversation earlier than feels necessary. Kingsley House is registered for short stays of typically a week or two. Bring everyday clothes, toiletries, a prescription list and medicines in their dispensed packaging, and treat the stay as a trial of permanent care.

Nursing Care at Kingsley House

Kingsley House is registered for nursing care, appropriate for people with unstable health, complex medication, wounds needing regular dressing or a feeding tube. Where someone has been assessed as needing nursing care, NHS Funded Nursing Care of roughly £235 a week is paid to the home and comes off the family's bill. Ask whether that contribution appears separately on the invoice and what else the weekly fee includes. Ask too how many nurses are on each shift and how the home manages when someone's condition deteriorates.

Dementia Care at Kingsley House

Dementia and nursing needs often arrive together, and a home has to be good at both for the arrangement to hold. Kingsley House holds a dementia registration, which describes what it may accept and not how it works. Ask what dementia training staff receive, how distress and agitation are handled, and whether anyone is prescribed medication to manage behaviour. Ask whether the layout and garden let people walk about safely, and how the home keeps days familiar and calm. It is worth asking about the later stages too, including eating difficulties and care at the end of life.
