Simmins crescent is what a residential home should be .where staff do there upmost to meet the individuals needs,not just in the person centred approach they are trained to give, but with compassion and love .when you step through the front door the atmosphere is just like home .staff are friendly
and welcoming ,the home itself is always busy ,with lots of noise as individuals pursue their own interests ,often with a bit of friendly rivalry and banter ( just like you get at home )

On my last visit to Simmins Crescent which was in November last year I found the Home to be a happy place to visit. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere and my nephew seems really settled. The carers are really kind towards my nephew and treat him with patience and dignity. This obviously gives me
peace of mind knowing that he is being cared for so well.
As to the new management, I'm unable to make any comment at the moment as I have been unable to visit this year.
I hope the residence continue to be treated with care and respect and that the standard continues to improve for both carers and of course, residence. I felt I had to give a management rating but it is on the previous management.

James' care is very good. He is very happy and settled.
The staff know him very well and they communicate on his level, to be able to understand what he wants and respond to him accordingly.
I generally feel that the people who work with the clients are very caring and loving towards them all.

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.

The care provided at this home is excellent. The staff are kind, patient, and genuinely care about the residents' wellbeing. The environment is clean, welcoming, and well-run, giving real peace of mind to families. I am very grateful that my grandmother is in good hands. I would highly recommend
this care home to anyone looking for compassionate and professional care.

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.

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.

welcoming place to be.

We have nothing but praise for the home.

There is a lovely atmosphere at the home and I feel very happy and lucky that my sister is well looked after,
safe and happy here.

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.

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.
