My mam came to South Bebside Care Home 1st May 2025 for respite with the view to long term/ permanent.I was very undecided whether to do this but I've never looked back, the staff are fabulous, rooms very spacious, lovely lounge/ dayroom and very pleasant family conservatory.The meals are lovely and
plentiful and lots if choice.Mam is a very private person who doesn't mix but she is joining in, going in day trips, hairdresser and nails painted every week.Im over the moon with my decision as all staff are very approachable very friendly and go that extra mile to help.

South Bebside is very homely with a lovely atmosphere , the management and the staff can't be more helpful and are very friendly , they treat the residents like their own family with respect and dignity , there are always great activities going on and some residents go on an outing every week making
it a special day for them , they help the residents to engage with each other to make them all feel welcome , when you walk in you get a warm friendly atmosphere and I just can't fault it or the care my relative received from the brink of death from one care home to back on her feet to go to her own home , it's just a wonderful place to stay and if you ask other residents they will say they are very happy there , if you do get a place here consider yourself very lucky , it's the best home in Blyth in my eyes , you can go anytime of the day and the standard of care never changes , it's a fabulous home 10 out of 10 .

My stepdad was in there for respite. All the staff were so lovely with him. They made sure he was engaging in all the activities and they were always smiling and happy with all the residents. The manageress was so lovely to deal with, nothing ever a problem. It was clean and homely and it didn't matter
what time of day you went, you were welcomed and all the residents were happy. This home is definitely an 11/10 for sure.

Cousin stayed here for several months, visited her several times & always found the care given exceptional, staff very friendly & showed genuine care to both residents & visitors. Entrance hall welcoming & displaying numerous activities some of which relatives were welcome to attend, security for
visitors was spot on, meals were home cooked & looked both delicious & nutritional with a good choice of menu. Overall a very caring friendly place to live cannot praise the staff enough for the way my relatives looked after

Staff very friendly. My dad is very happy here. He is well looked after. However, I dont always think his room is as clean as it could be. He also uses a commode (and/or a bottle) in his room to go to the toilet and it is often full when I visit which is not pleasant.

Reply from Vicki Rees, Manager at South Bebside Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review and for your feedback. We aim to achieve the highest standards of cleanliness and will address your concern with the team and ensure your dad's commode is cleaned as soon as possible after use.

We are very pleased with the excellent care that Mom is receiving. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and have a caring, dignified approach to Mom. The activity coordinator is always going that extra mile to entertain and organise outings for residents. It is very clear that the staff know Mom,
her likes and dislikes, and respond to situations accordingly.

My dad has been in South Bebside for nearly four months now and was supposed to be for two weeks respite. When he arrived, we didn't think he would see Christmas; he was that frail and poorly. Within a week of being in South Bebside, the change was amazing; he was up and about mingling with the other
residents. He looks ten years younger (he's 92). I can't thank the staff enough for their support in looking after Dad; he is now going to be one of their family and staying on indefinitely.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for South Bebside Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.830 for South Bebside Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.83

  • 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 South Bebside Care Home is based on 13 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
