About Kingfishers Nursing Home

Kingfishers Nursing Home is a 35-bed facility located in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire, operated by JK Healthcare Limited. The home provides nursing care for older people, younger adults, and those with dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments.

The home was last inspected by the CQC in January 2023 and currently holds a Requires Improvement rating. This means the home is meeting legal requirements but has areas identified for development.

As a medium-sized nursing home in a semi-rural setting within the South East, Kingfishers offers nursing-level care rather than residential support only. The breadth of its specialisms suggests capacity to support residents with complex needs across multiple conditions. Families should review the full CQC inspection report to understand specific findings and the home's response to recommendations made during the assessment.
