My dad came into Sedgley Court for two weeks respite whilst my mom recovered from hip replacement surgery. Dad was very well cared for. All the staff were very attentive and supportive. I would certainly recommend Sedgley Court. Thanks, everyone, for looking after my dad.

On a visit to Sedgley Court to see my sister-in-law, through the help of the staff, nothing is too much trouble for them. I would say to anyone who is looking for a comfortable retirement; you can't fault it.

My father has settled in extremely well, considering he was fairly anxious about coming in. It seems he has made some lovely friends whilst being here. The staff are all so friendly; nothing is too much trouble. The home is absolutely beautiful. I have no doubt that he will want to come and stay again
for respite very soon. Thank you all so much for making my father and myself feel so welcome.

Trying to find the right care home for a loved one is a massive task and one of the most important decisions we have to make. I have no reservation whatsoever in recommending Sedgley Court to anyone in this situation. The staff are one cohesive team, led by a strong manager, all intent on delivering
the best standard of care possible for the residents, whatever that may look like for each individual. Mom has been at Sedgley Court now for a few months and the reassurances and promises we were given on being shown round have all come to fruition. Mom has had some difficult times over those months and each time the team at Sedgley Court have been tested, they have delivered, with many members of staff going well beyond their job description in order to deliver with the utmost level of professionalism. Sedgley Court is so much more than a care home; it is a home where the people care.

My parents have settled in well. They cannot fault the care, staff or food. The building is well fitted, and the views are lovely; they enjoy watching the dog walkers.

My nan has moved into Sedgley Court in April 2021, and I can honestly say it is the best care home I have experienced. On the day Nan moved in, we were allowed to help her settle in with staff all introducing themselves to us, and Nan throughout the day, and ensuring that we had everything we needed.
My nan has settled in so well, and all staff have been absolutely brilliant. Nan has dementia, so at times needs reassurance during periods of distress and upset, and each time, the care staff have been faultless in dealing with times of upset, using Nan’s life history to help distract and divert, highlighting the best person-centred care for each resident. The activities that Sedgley Court run is outstanding; they are currently doing around the world cruise, allowing residents to experience different cultures, music, dancing and providing new and stimulating activities. I would 1000% recommend Sedgley Court. I cannot thank all at Sedgley Court enough for helping Nan settle so well!

My aunt is currently at the home for a trial. However, she has decided to make this her new home as she feels so well cared for by the wonderful staff. She has been made to feel one of the "family" from the moment she arrived. She has had a tremendous improvement in the short time that she has been
a resident. She has regained her positive outlook and is looking forward to regaining her independence with the care and support of the staff.

My mom is at the home for a trial period and has fallen in love with the place and decided to make it her home permanently. Mom and I agree it is a lovely place and resembles a five-star hotel with fantastic facilities.
The food is outstanding, especially the puddings. The staff are amazing and professional,
and nothing is too much to trouble. They are all so caring, supportive and super organised.
Care is tailored to my mom's needs and includes family input. We are really happy with Sedgley Court; it is excellent.

Caring and sympathetic on first entering the home. Staff always have a smile. Mom is never left on her own, always something to do. There are cares on hand to support any activities, these include daily walks. Care is taken to make all residents feel good about themselves eg, doing hair and putting
on makeup. Food is excellent, with healthy choices. Health and safety are always paramount in the care of the residents. Strict covid rules ensure all residents are safe.
Rooms are cleaned daily and are always spotless.
I could not find a better place for my mom; she is in safe hands.

At the moment have only visited within Covid restrictions, so have not actually entered and seen the main part of the care home. I have been made very welcome, and the staff are extremely friendly and informative regarding my mother-in-law's health and well-being. The staff are very attentive and caring,
and my mother-in-law seems very happy in their company.

What first drew us to Sedgley Court was the beautiful location nestled on the edge of the country park, and the accessibility to a secure manicured garden area with benches for the residents to enjoy the views.
What we also found was a very attentive team of staff that are willing to do anything
to make the stay as pleasant experience as possible during her isolation periods during the covid pandemic, following the strict guidelines as laid out by the Government, but without making her feel like she is on her own. We look forward to experiencing the full benefits of visiting her after covid as a nice experience with us to be able to share a meal with her as she tells us how nice the food is (this coming from a former hotelier, who would cook everything from scratch).
The only negative is the normal mobile phone reception, which can be a little hit and miss, but the staff are only too happy to take their roving phone or help her FaceTime.

Although my sister's residence at Sedgley Court was sadly cut short by her transfer to hospital, and subsequent decrease, we had the opportunity to meet face to face with her shortly after she moved in. We spent an animated hour with her, and found her enthusiastic about her accommodation, her carers,
and, not least, the food!
We had previously visited the home with her, and, on that and subsequent visits, were treated with courtesy and helpfulness by all staff we met.

From day one, when we met with the manager, we have had no cause for concern, everything is done with care, empathy and very professional. Having worked in the care sector myself, I cannot fault Sedgley Court, the building and surrounds are beautiful throughout, but that means nothing if the care is
not there to go with it, which is the top priority. With Sedgley Court it is the whole package, building and care go hand in hand. The management and staff they are caring, sincere, honest, helpful and go out of their way for the residents and visitors. They give you regular updates on your relative, which is very welcome and appreciated with this very stressful situation. It is always a pleasure to visit my Auntie. If I had to use one word to describe Sedgley Court, it would be excellent.

I began investigating long term care for my mother in the summer of 2020. She had been diagnosed with epilepsy and Alzheimer's.


I had a preliminary interview with the manager and was immediately impressed with her professionalism and passion for her work. A number of visits to Sedgley Court followed

as it was still in the process of being finished. I was bowled over by the design and beauty of it as it looked nothing like a 'traditional care home'.


I booked my mother in for one week's respite care in January, which turned into two followed by the decision for full-time residency. This was a momentous decision for me and the support I received from the manager and her staff has been phenomenal. It's incredibly difficult to leave the care of a loved one in the hands of someone else particularly when you live overseas. However, the decision has been made less challenging by knowing that my mother is in the best of care.


I cannot recommend the manager and her staff at Sedgley Court highly enough.

Since first looking around my Mums care home, I have been extremely impressed by the quality of the care that she has received from all members of staff from management to carers and seniors to the fab chef!
Mum has been very poorly and came out of the hospital in a very fragile state. From the moment
she walked through the doors of this lovely building, she was enveloped in a wave of love and attention!
Mum has always lived independently, and now it is time for her to be looked after. I can’t think of a better place to entrust her safety and well-being too.
A very special home for a very special Mum!

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.
