Review from Jennifer S (Wife of Resident) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall experience with the home has been ok, but we have found that we aren't being informed about his medication if it has been changed or stopped. We would like to be informed in the future of any changes with medication, or care plan. We can't fault the carers that he has at present.

Review from V M (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Majority of the staff were lovely although attention to detail could be better if client looked uncomfortable no one came to aid. Care at the end of life very good. Listened to family members re concerns. Bedrooms are in great need of being overhauled tatty + damaged furniture. Wouldn't hesitate to
recommend to others. Staff always made us feel welcome + felt like friends in the end.

Review from Jane B (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad has been resident since December 2023. He is incredibly well cared for, and dare I say thriving in the environment. Two years ago he was hospitalised and had a poor prognosis. With the the care he has received in this setting he is genuinely safe, happy, stimulated and part of a lovely community.
I cannot thank the whole staff enough. The respect shown to residents shines through. Thank you so much for ensuring whatever time Dad has remaining it is in a great place

Review from A H (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is my first experience with a care home, so I don't have anything to compare. It was the manager's empathy, honesty and efficiency that swayed me into choosing Nightingales Nursing Home. All of the staff are friendly and appear to genuinely care. A suggestion would be to have names on the staff
clothing/uniforms- whether velcro or stickers so that I don't feel rude if I can't recall someone's name.
Reply from Jo-Anne Porter, Home Manager at Nightingales Nursing HomeThank you for such a lovely review. We aim to provide dignity in everything we do at Nightingales. We will certainly look into dementia-safe name badges moving forward as this is a very good idea. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.802)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.802) out of 10 for Nightingales Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.063 for Nightingales Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (13 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.063
  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 3.739 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nightingales Nursing Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.364
  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.

Amanda Simpson

Job Title: Activity Co-ordinator

My name is Amanda Simpson and I am the activity coordinator at Nightingales Nursing Home. I worked in a children’s nursery for nearly 25 years which I thoroughly enjoyed but I got made redundant and fancied a career change as I have a love for the elderly and had nearly 25 years of experience of activities I thought this was the job for me.


I enjoy my job so much we play games and create crafts to decorate our home I’m always thinking of new ideas for us to do. I plan parties, entertainment and trips out. I feel I get something out of it as much as the residents do, I find it so rewarding if I can make a resident smile I know I’ve made their day.


I welcome any suggestions and am always looking for new ideas.
