Mum was made welcome from the moment she arrived.
Nothing was too much trouble from all grades of staff.
The bedroom was beautifully decorated and aids were available for my mum's care needs.
The activities coordinator (newly promoted) is obviously passionate about her role.

My mum and dad have been in Sid Bailey a month. The home is five star luxury and has a real homely atmosphere. All staff, from the management down, are extremely professional in all matters and are always approachable. The level of care provided is exemplary and their needs are met.
Their room is always
immaculate. The food is first class and activities are arranged regularly. I would like to thank the manager and her team for putting my mind at ease, knowing my mum and dad are well cared for. I would highly recommend Sid Bailey to any future service users. Thank you for doing an amazing job.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had a crisis situation where my father-in-law became ill and immobile, I contacted the home and the manager arranged to visit him at home to assess his needs and eligibility for having respite care in a residential home. The manager was both knowledgeable and empathetic to the whole family including
his wife. Documentation was completed fast and arrangements were made for him to come to stay at the home. On arrival he was met by the care team who attended to his needs, we are now four weeks along he has decided that he wants to stay at the home permanently so further arrangements have been made. Throughout our journey, the whole team including the manager have treated us with respect and nothing has been too much trouble.

What an amazing place! The care and attention given to my sister is outstanding, nothing is too much trouble, the staff are extremely professional and caring. Her condition has improved dramatically since she has been living at Sid Bailey. It was lovely to see how the staff interacted with the residents,

I was very impressed with Sid Bailey care home; it looks more like a high-class hotel than a residential home. The staff were all very polite and treated the residents with respect and care - they all seemed happy. The home is equipped to very high standards. There is a hairdresser, library, and cinema
on site, plenty of seating areas and outside spaces for the residents. We were shown around and offered tea and coffee. That afternoon they had a singer entertaining the residents.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.798 for Sid Bailey is calculated as follows: ( (301 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 352 Ratings = 4.798
  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 29 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 29 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.
