Everyone in the Sid Bailey have been excellent, from the receptionist, who was so welcoming and helpful to every carer that we came into contact with. They not only cared for our relative with respect and the utmost sympathy, and they also looked after all our relatives and us when we visited, offering
drinks and anything we might need. They also kept us informed of our relatives condition.

We took my mother- in -law here for some respite care in June 2025 . She has clearly enjoyed the time she has spent saying she would return any time as the staff have treated her like a family member . Everyone of them have been so kind, friendly and thoroughly cared for her the entire time she stayed.
The meals have been delicious and well presented. Her words were it's felt like being at home . The facilities are like a five star hotel and have been designed well for comfort and an homely feel.We cannot thank the staff and the residents enough for making her feel so welcome.

The experience for my mum is generally and often excellent, however on the occasions when they (staff) are not involved in responding to the needs of residents, when alerted by emergency bell, they should take time to talk to residents, especially those who have just joined the home.

My experience has been so positive every time I have visited my dad in the home. The care has been exemplary and nothing is too much trouble. All staff are wonderful. I love that all activities pursued are put on social media as I live in Morecambe and I can see what Dad is up to and see him smiling
happy face.

My mum has been at Sid Bailey since May 24. She has dementia and has recently had a stroke which has meant that she now needs much more care than before. The home has been amazing at attending to all her needs. Nothing is too much trouble and my concerns are always answered. Her room is beautiful, the
food is lovely and I couldn't wish for Mum to be in a better place. Mum is happy there. I would highly recommend it.

Very welcoming place. Clean, bright and cheerful. Happy and helpful staff. My friend's room is lovely if a little bit impersonal. She hasn't been there long so that could change as she settles in more. The food looked appetising, menu was displayed for everyone to see.

Unfortunately, my experience with this Care home when it comes to looking after residents with dementia, they have all the talk but do not actually know how to treat challenging behaviour. It's a shame because the home is lovely.
Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Sid Bailey

As a home, we pride ourselves on the genuine care and compassion our residents receive. All of our team receive training relevant to the demographic of the residents we provide care for and in keeping with our core values.

I went to see a resident with a friend and we were welcomed and knew where to go and find our friend. Once with her, we were impressed with the loveliness of the care home staff who were smiling, helpful and kind to our friend. We would have made a cuppa but a nurse there made us 3 one and biscuits.
Our friend is adjusting of course and hopefully, she will settle and join in with activities and garden and go for a walk in nice weather. We left feeling reassured she was in a fabulous environment in a lovely room.

You only get one chance to make a good impression and it was my first visit and I was really impressed. Receptionist, helpful and friendly. The home is beautiful. I visited all nursing homes in our area and this is the first class but unfortunately, some people will not be able to afford the experience.

I visited an ex-colleague at Sid Bailey and was amazed at the cleanliness and overall look of the building. His room is beautiful and so well equipped, better than many five-star hotels I have seen. Every member of staff that I saw that day were friendly and professional, although I'm not looking at
the moment. If effort in the future, I needed to Sid Bailey would be the first choice.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.848)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.848) out of 10 for Sid Bailey is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.848 for Sid Bailey is calculated as follows: ( (340 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 387 Ratings = 4.848
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sid Bailey is based on 33 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
