Simon Marks Court is a very friendly caring home, staff are always on hand if we have any queries and all seem very helpful and quickly sort out any problems.
The home is very clean and Mum gets very good personal care.
On occasions, Mum says she rings her buzzer but it can take a while, if staff
are attending to other residents, nut overall the care is very good. As a family we are all pleased with this home and how open and friendly everyone is.

Home-from-home, staff are wonderful, my sister got the greatest care I could have wished for during her 2-year stay at the home. The staff became her second family during that time and were willing to sit with her when she got upset or angry. They provided lovely entertainment which my sister loved
to join in with and she loved the beagle dog who came in to visit. They always made me her sisters feel welcome when I visited her and gave me wonderful cups of tea and cake. For anyone wanting a care home I would recommend Simon Marks Court.

My sister really didn't want to go into respite care and was adamant that she would be okay staying at home. When I left her she was near to tears. When I went to collect her she was full of praise for the staff and the home. I couldn't have been happier with the care she received. I even asked if I
could book her for another stay in September.

My dad moved here as a permanent resident following a stay in hospital. He settled in quickly and is happy with his new home; the staff are absolutely lovely, and their care and kindness are outstanding.
From my first enquiry, I felt management was prompt and efficient, and when I visited the care
home, I was impressed with the fresh and clean decor, the rooms and public areas are spotless.
Staff here are friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend Simon Marks Court; it is by far the best care home I have visited.

Mom came to the home at short notice in September 2022, and the staff were all welcoming in a difficult situation. She was allocated a lovely room and settled in well. The food was of a really good standard, and Mom stayed with Simon Marks for seven months. The home is well equipped with a bar and coffee
area, which didn't always seem to be in use but was available when needed for visitors. There are also regular entertainment and GP visits to support residents.

Can't fault anything at Simon Marks. The staff have been incredible and so patient with my mum, who can often be very grumpy with them. They are always friendly, and helpful and feel like they genuinely care so much about the residents. They have also been very supportive of me since my mum went there
and keep me informed of everything. The home is clean and welcoming whenever you visit and love the fact that they have visitors to the home to entertain the residents. Every staff member I've met has been excellent and I know my mum is receiving the best care she could get. Other family members have all said the same. So glad my mum was placed here.

One off the hardest things I have had to do was admit that I could no longer care for my mother-in-law. Even with the carers helping 2x daily, she wasn't eating, personal care was only when we reminded her and she was so lonely her dementia was getting worse and it was a constant worry when she was
left alone.
Then the best thing was finding Simon Marks Court, the staff are always friendly, smiling and treat residents with dignity and respect. There is laughter and that patient listening ear when needed.
My mother-in-law has now new friends (staff members), she laughs and jokes with them, she is eating, helped with personal care, safe, so well cared for and not lonely anymore. Yes she has her off days, don't we all, but it's soon forgotten and yes, her dementia is getting worse but she is in the best place and I am so grateful for all they do and also for making me so welcome on my visits.

Dad went into respite, the second day he had a fall, followed by nightly falls, I had to get a flight home early. He became a resident, Dad deteriorated quickly, followed by a traumatic and upsetting death on 29th October at 3 am. Following Dad's death, we have had no contact from the home to offer
condolences which I would have thought would be a matter of courtesy from management following the death of a resident. The care team, including agency staff, were very caring, as was the admin lady. Happy to discuss.

My uncle went for a week of respite care - he absolutely loved the staff and residents and all the wonderful things that they did. One lady has been so wonderful at organizing everything for him and paying such detailed attention to his needs and wants. I think he just loved that people were happy to
talk to him and were so attentive. Thank you!

Always greeted by friendly staff. The building is kept very clean and has a great atmosphere. The decor is excellent - very creative building a bar, wallpapering the walls to create a street image and outside house and salon. All management and staff are very helpful and committed to their jobs. My
sister-in-law has been helped a lot with her illness and anxiety, and also she has been encouraged to join in activities. I am impressed with the whole place.

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.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.633 for Simon Marks Court is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.633

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Simon Marks Court is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
