Many of staff very attentive to mum but she needs checking on more often. Have found mum with pyjamas on under her clothes, no hearing aids in. Jugs to heavy for her to pour her own juice. Very few staff to be found at weekends. My sister and I feel we need to come into check on her every day.

There was a happy atmosphere which helped my recovery during a difficult time in my life. I have recommended The Sidcup already to several people.

Thank you for your kind words. We hope our care home did everything to make the transition as easy as possible. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one was cared for and looked after.

My aunt was in The Sidcup for 5 1/2 years. The staff always looked after her well. They always did all they could for her comfort and well being even though she was not the easiest or happiest person. When her husband of 67 years died, everyone at the home went out of their way to comfort her and involve her in activities to help her to cope. There was always a welcoming attitude to visitors whenever they came.
Thank you for your kind words, Caroline. We are pleased to hear you could feel at ease with your aunt in our care. We are glad we could help you and your family through such a difficult time as well.
When my grandfather became unable to care for himself, we, as a family, took the difficult decision to find a suitable care establishment for him. As soon as we visited The Sidcup Care Home we knew this would be his 'home from home', we were shown around by a lovely young lady who said she was the...
I am pleased to say that he has lived there very happily for the last 15 months. From day one, the staff were welcoming, caring and totally professional. He settled immediately and blossomed with the delicious and nutritious meals, fun activities and outings and the loving and devoted care of all staff.
Whenever we visited we also received a warm welcome and on several occasions, we enjoyed lunch with him. Nothing was too much trouble. Suffering from a health condition, he was always treated with respect and dignity and we are so grateful for all the loving care he has had. Thank you all.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy about your grandfather being able to come out of his shell and take part in our activities. We have a genuine regard for all of our residents and we are humbled you chose to trust us with your loved ones care.

It's with a heavy heart that I leave this review as there are some genuinely friendly, kind and smiley carers and receptionists in this home but unfortunately the overall experience was one of extreme stress for my sister and I (when we should have been looking after our dad recovering from an operation) having our mother stay in respite at this care home for 4 weeks. A chain of broken promises - she wasn't showered/washed for 4 days on one occasion despite us asking repetitively and being promised she would be. We found a rash on her face that apparently staff didn't notice, and then still didn't call the doctor despite staff writing it in the book. After complaining to the manager, she discovered that my mother had no care plan in place at all, apologised and immediately put a plan into action. The last and final disappointment was when she'd had a fall and we found her with diarrhoea and again "no one had noticed".
