Review from Annette J (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dear Dad was only a resident for a short time but in the 3 months he was there the care respect and dignity he received was absolutely outstanding
Every single one of the care team are truly amazing looking after him and gaining his trust with the most personal parts of being cared for especially
as his dementia got worse
In his final days the care love and support received not only to my Dad but to me was above and beyond
I will be eternally grateful to the entire team for everything during my dads stay and the support I received on a daily basis
A beautiful Carehome with amazing people
I now see them as family members and will never forget their kindness in our time of need

Review from Elizabeth M (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 October 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident at Sidegate Land for over four years and has sadly recently passed. The care and love that she received were truly amazing. I've spent time with many of Mum's carers in the past week and am so grateful to them for the dignity and love shown to her and the support to me and my sister
at such a difficult time. It's a wonderful place for a loved one to be cared for.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.208)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.208) out of 10 for Sidegate Lane Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Sidegate Lane Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sidegate Lane Care Home is based on 1 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 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 = 3
    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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.208
  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.
