My mum has been in Simon Marks Court just over a year now I visit her regularly and find the staff who look after her very pleasant, always happy to help and go out of their way to make sure the residents are comfortable are happy. It is always clean and they have activities they get involved with with
the residents. They always contact me immediately if my mum is unwell or needs any hospital treatment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was reluctant to go into care, even though she was really struggling to live independently however after falling at home and unable to get up she realised that it would be for the best. When we walked in staff were great and made both of us tea and cakes. She has settled in really well, loves being
waited on at meal times and the entertainment. I can now sleep easy as I know she is safe and happy at Simon Marks Court. She also loves the hairdresser.

I was very worried about putting my dad into a care home. He has lived an independent life into his 90's but now needed extra support.
I was recommended Simon Marks Court by a friend. From the moment I visited Simon Marks, I knew dad would enjoy being there. The staff are very friendly and helpful
and work as a great team. I had no concerns what so ever. Dad really had a pleasant stay and even made a Christmas cake.

You could sense the care was going to be good the moment we stepped through the doors 3 years ago. The staff welcomed us really well, took dad's things off us and said now leave everything to us and made us a cup of tea. It was a really bad day raining, we were wet through, we had just left another
home and you could sense this is where he is going to live the rest of his life and he did and he was really happy and our family was.

Review from Mark H (Nephew of Resident) published on 7 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Each one of the staff here were tremendous. They were always polite and courteous and we observed the time, care and patience they had with the residents.
The facilities here are brilliant, lounges and even a real-life street lining the corridors. A wide range of activities our aunt especially enjoyed
the wartime movies and music. Based in Scotland, there were times when I felt like I was being a pain and to a degree perhaps I was, given I was never off the phone or email but in no way did any of the staff make me feel as though I was.
For reasons I am unable to explain here, the entire team went above and beyond in ensuring our aunt was not left without and perhaps in some instances, their true dedication to their work and compassion for their residents meant they went above and beyond. We have not only lost our aunt but at the same time, it does feel as though we have lost a fair few friends now that we no longer visit Simon Marks Court. Thank you all on behalf of the family and our aunt.

There are not enough words to describe how delighted I have been with the care provided by Simon Marks Court over the last 5 years. Every aspect from the very first day that my mum came into the care home to the very last has been totally professional, caring and loving. I cannot praise the work done
by the Staff at Simon Marks Court enough, they are a credit to your organisation.


If I am ever in need of care, I would consider myself fortunate to find myself in such a home as Simon Marks Court.

Review from Leslie H (Brother of Resident) published on 2 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
To be honest I was not looking forward to visiting my sister in the nursing home. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were very welcoming, her room was lovely and bright and was like home from home.
I saw a big improvement in my sister and she looked happy and relaxed.
After making the
long journey from Blackpool, we are always offered refreshments by staff, who are always on hand to help and have a chat. We now have peace of mind knowing my sister is safe when we are so far away.

Mum is happy here. Few niggles which were sorted out immediately. Staff do a good job in hard circumstances, but there seems to be a large turnover of staff and lots of agency staff.
Reply from Neil Ward, Digital Marketing Manager at Simon Marks CourtThank you for your comments, we were pleased to read that you think the staff at Simon Marks Court do a good job and that any issues you raise are dealt with as soon as you let them know. In terms of your comments about the agency staff and turnover, we have passed this on to the Home Manager for them to review this. I’m sure they will be happy to speak to you about this issue when you visit the home so please do mention this the next time you are there.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.633)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.633) out of 10 for Simon Marks Court 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.783 for Simon Marks Court is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.783
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Simon Marks Court is based on 14 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 14 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.
