My grandmother is currently staying at Sedgley Court, she has been a resident for the past three months. I cannot thank Sedgley Court and all the staff enough for how they are looking after my grandmother. My grandmother has dementia, I was worried that she would not like it after leaving her own home,
but she has really settled in and that's down to the care of the staff. Her room is lovely and is kept clean, she has everything she needs and this has given me the relief to know she is safe and well. Meals excellent quality. The chef manages to cater for all the residents, the food is lovely, fresh, homecooked style. My grandmother's health and wellbeing has improved since being in Sedgley Court. All the staff treat my nan with dignity. The home is always so clean and welcoming and there are lots of places my family can sit with my grandmother around the home. The management team are always around to answer any questions. The manager, the front of house manager and another staff member are brilliant.

Mom had stayed in Sedgley Court before in 2022 so when she had to go into a home for palliative care, there was no other home mom and family would consider. Mom loved all the staff and everyone was kind, thoughtful and respectful at all times. Making sure mom was always comfortable and well looked after.
The family cannot thank you all enough.
Even when Mom sadly passed away they still looked after mom with love, respect and dignity.
Thank you all.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. Your mum was a lovely lady whose smile and positive attitude lit up the home, and she is very sadly missed by residents and the team alike. We are proud to have been able to care for your mum and thank you for your kind words and appreciation.

Mum came for two weeks of residential care whilst we were away on holiday. Pre-visit and induction were helpful in ensuring familiarity before her stay. Mum was warmly welcomed and was very well looked after. She enjoyed the activities on-site and took part in a visit to The Kingswood Trust on a minibus
with other residents. Her room was very comfortable and the lounges and other facilities were excellent. The food was lovely. All the staff were very friendly and Sedgley Court is very well maintained. I was reassured by happy conversations with her while I was away.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Sedgley Court

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are so very pleased that your mum enjoyed her respite stay with us, we hope it was as much of a holiday for her as it was for you!

We hope you will think of Sedgley Court again if your mum requires any care moving forward, it would be lovely to see her again.

I spent two weeks in residence as my daughter was abroad on holiday. I found the staff and residents welcoming and friendly. The meals were excellent and there was a happy atmosphere in the house. If I had an opportunity to have another time spent on my own away from home I would seriously consider
a return visit. Thank you.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Sedgley Court

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are so pleased you had such a lovely time. We agree that Sedgley Court has a lovely atmosphere and we would welcome you back any time - until then feel free to pop in for a cuppa and a natter any time.

I took my mother to see her friend on Monday 26th June, who is a resident for two weeks at Sedgley Court. On arrival, we were greeted by a member of staff at the desk and another member of staff who took us to the floor where my mom's friend was. We were greeted by a senior member of staff on this floor.
We had a tour of the upper floor and were also told about all the facilities that are offered there. We had complementary drinks served; I had a lovely glass of wine. I would like to say what a nice and welcoming place this is. The staff were friendly, and one especially was exceptional who took the time to talk to us and show us around. Unfortunately, I can’t name this member of staff, but hopefully, upon reading this will know who she is!

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Sedgley Court

We are so pleased you could visit and had such a lovely time. We have done some digging, and it was the lovely Lara who showed you around – I’ve passed your praise onto the home manager so she can get the recognition she clearly deserves! We hope your mother’s friend enjoyed her stay with us, and I think it goes without saying that you are welcome to visit any time. We will get the kettle on or pop the cork!

My sister recently moved to Sedgley Court due to a rapid decline with Alzheimer's. I live in Australia and have not seen her in person for a few years due to Covid and travel restrictions, so I was very concerned about her new home and the level of care provided. I travelled over in February, and all
my worries were quickly dispelled as soon as I walked through the doors at Sedgely. The atmosphere, decor, amenities and general feeling of the place are just like coming home. My sister was relaxed and in good spirits, despite the huge upheaval she has undergone in the last six months - all testament to the outstanding care given at Sedgely Court. I visited every day for the week I was there, and each time, all the staff I encountered were wonderful. They are caring, dedicated and understanding of all the resident's individual needs. I am now back in Australia, and when I speak with my sister, I feel so happy knowing that she is in a lovely place and being looked after by the best.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Sedgley Court

What a wonderful review; thank you so much. It must have been a really worrying few years for you, not being able to visit with your sister, and while we can't take away the worry of the past, we are so pleased that you can go forward with the knowledge that your sister is safe, cared for and happy at Sedgley Court. We are very proud of our home and our dedicated team. We hope we get to see you again soon – please don’t hesitate to get in touch should you need any support.

All the staff are very friendly, approachable and keen to help. The rooms are very comfortable, well laid out, and suit reduced mobility. Dad enjoys joining others for a chat when he wants and also the peace and quiet of his room which has a lovely view of Baggeridge Country Park. Dad is thoroughly
enjoying the quality, tastiness and choice of meals provided. It didn't take long for Dad to settle in to enjoy his surroundings and recover his well-being.

Thank you for the lovely review. We are pleased your Dad has settled in well and is enjoying the comforts of Sedgley court.

My experience at Sedley Court has been very positive. My father-in-law was admitted in June of this year and was welcomed from the very first day. Staff have made great efforts to get to know him and treat him as an individual. I cannot speak too highly of them. They are friendly, professional and approachable.
There are always interesting activities available for residents.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Sedgley Court

Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased that your father-in-law has settled well and feels welcomed. It is very important to us that our residents feel at home and valued, and we are so glad that he feels this way. We agree that we have a wonderful staff, and we will make sure your praise is passed on. Thanks again!

My mum went in for respite care but sadly deteriorated rapidly. The care she received was excellent, and I know that, in different circumstances, she would have been very happy there. Even in a very short time, I could pick up on the friendly family atmosphere. Thank you to the manager and the team.

Thank you for your kind words in what must be a very difficult time for you. We are so glad that you feel mum was well cared for during her time living with us. We will make sure your thanks are passed on to the team.

Mum was very apprehensive about moving into care, but from the moment we walked in for her first visit, she was made to feel welcome and valued. Before she moved in, she was underweight, confused and completely lacking in confidence. Now, after eight weeks, she has gained weight and is so much healthier
and stronger. It is wonderful to see that she has regained her confidence and that her cheeky personality is back. She is involved in plenty of activities and outings, and every day she seems more content. Mum tells us that she feels cared for, secure and happy. The care provided is exceptional. All the staff are clearly passionate about what they do and have endless energy, good humour and patience. They treat Mum with respect whilst adapting their approach to suit her cheeky nature. The support they have provided to my sister and I has also been incredible, making the whole transition easy and worry-free.

Sedgley Court cared for my father for the last three months of his life with great respect, kindness and compassion. The management team are professional, efficient and always there for residents and their families. The facilities are exceptional. Particularly unique is the spacious lounge/dining room
where residents eat and spent a lot of their day. The team are developing the number of available activities. Occasionally medication and personal care were a little slow, therefore, the maintenance of sufficient staffing levels is vital for excellent care. I a so pleased that my father spent his last days in such a genuine and caring community.

My mother moved into Sedgley Court for a two-week respite stay on leaving the hospital, having previously lived alone. Had visited Sedgley Court and found the home manager most helpful with advice on an area I was not familiar with. Within a few days, my mother decided to move in on a permanent basis.
Rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff excellent and activities arranged daily. My mum is now as well mentally and physically as she has been for a long time and is happy and settled.

My mother came to Sedgley Court after a fall at home. She has received the very best care helping her recover. The food is excellent; my mother has really enjoyed the roast dinner and puddings. The staff are helpful and caring, pampering my mother while recovering. She is happier than she has been for
ages.

Mum's physical and mental state was not too good when she moved into Sedgley Court, but within a few days, she had improved 100%. The staff at Sedgley could not be kinder or any more caring towards her. In fact, in less than two weeks of living here, she said how happy she is in her new home. Thank

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.899)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) out of 10 for Sedgley Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.899 for Sedgley Court is calculated as follows: ( (270 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.899

  • 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 Sedgley Court is based on 25 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
