Review from M B (Cousin of Resident) published on 20 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have just visited my cousin for the first time at Simmins crescent. I was so impressed with the home. It had a warm and friendly feeling, it was like home from home. Her bedroom was personalised and individually decorated. The manager and staff team were really knowledgeable about my cousins support
needs. My cousin is non-verbal but how the team communicated with her was impressive. I observed the staff with the other residents too during my visit and i can honestly say that that the care i witnessed was so dignified and respectful. They had an additional building that had a fantastic art room and sensory room where my cousin could go for some one to one time with her support worker. I walked away from the visit with peace of mind, knowing she is very well looked after.

Unable to give a proper review for Kara Health Care as they only became the new provider 2 months ago. We are all looking forward to working with them to improve all aspects of life for the residents of Simmins Crescent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am an occasional visitor to one of the bungalows at Simmins crescent and tend to bring my son with me to greet the service users at 2 simmins. Simmins has a homely and welcoming environment and from what I have experienced the staff seem to adapt to their roles well and have great bonds with their
individuals within their care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister, unfortunately, has not had the best experiences in earlier care homes. This home, she is clean, safe and well looked after. The unfortunate pandemic has curtailed activities for her and contact with family as for everyone else. Can't say about her meal plan as I don't visit during meals.
Also, she does need some encouragement to participate in some activities.
Reply from Stephen Payne, Director of Care and Services at Simmins CrescentThank you for taking the time to review our home where your sister lives. We are always happy within guidelines to meet any requirements you may have, please talk to the manager of our home. Thank you again.

My friend has been well cared for, over the years I've been visiting him, and he seems very happy there. We have taken him out on a regular basis since 2005 when his mother died unexpectedly and will carry on doing this as soon as conditions allow us to do so.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.487)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.487) out of 10 for Simmins Crescent is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.837 for Simmins Crescent is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 92 Ratings = 4.837
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Simmins Crescent is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 15 registered maximum number of service users is 3, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
