Kara Healthcare has officially taken over the operation of Simmins Crescent Residential Home from Vista, following a consultation process aimed at transitioning away from residential care. The handover ensures the home will continue to operate without disruption, with all residents and staff remaining in place under the new management.
The transfer aligns with wider shifts in the social care sector, as organisations move toward community-based, person-centred models while maintaining consistency in service delivery and employment.
Stephen Payne, Director of Care and Services at Vista, said:
“We are immensely proud to have been part of the Simmins Crescent community. Kara Healthcare will carry forward our shared values of dignity, respect and person-centred care.
The Vista staff team has been instrumental in providing high quality care to the residents for many years and we’re pleased they will be transferred over to Kara Healthcare as a cherished part of the community.”
The move safeguards ongoing care standards and preserves the relationships built between staff, residents, and the wider community.
