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.

Reply from Amy Batchelor, Customer Relations Manager at Sid Bailey

Thank you for your wonderful review, I am so pleased your dad has settled well and you are pleased with the care Dad receives. Thank you.

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. This is evident from other reviews and compliments received at the home. I am sorry on this occasion you feel unhappy, our manager's door is always open if you would like to discuss your concerns further. Thank you

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.

My dad has been a resident at Sid Bailey for five months. It is a lovely care home with exemplary staff who genuinely care. They look after all my dad's personal needs, he has a lovely clean room, good food and good company. From previous experience, not all care homes are the same. I have found an
excellent one for my dad and it vies me peace of mind knowing he his looked after.

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.
The food was amazing.
Thank you for everything. We will definitely be using the care home again.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) out of 10 for Sid Bailey 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.868 for Sid Bailey is calculated as follows: ( (358 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 400 Ratings = 4.868

  • 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 Sid Bailey is based on 34 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 34 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.
