Can someone trial living at Kingston Court?
Yes. The first six weeks of residency are a paid trial period, with no further obligation on either side during that period.
Does Kingston Court accept emergency care admissions?
Yes. Emergency care admissions are available as part of the care offered by the home.
Can residents manage their own medication at Kingston Court?
Yes, where it is safe to do so. The home can provide lockable storage and staff support, or trained staff can store and administer medicines as prescribed.
Can family members be involved in the care plan?
Yes, with the resident’s permission. Family members, relatives and friends can be invited to participate in the care planning process.
How much does Kingston Court Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Kingston Court Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Cumberland council paid on average £1,004 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
