Every time we visit my father, he says he is very happy at Sancroft and thanks us for finding him such a good care home. He has no complaints and enjoys the food, gardens, facilities, company of other residents and organised activities. He has often said that when residents from other care homes visited
Sancroft (pre-pandemic), they always commented how nice it was.

Review from Ray F (Son of Resident) published on 27 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been absolutely over the moon with the quality of care that my elderly mother has received since making Sancroft her new home in January of 2021. It was a very worrying and traumatic time for our family, with my father very unwell and no longer able to care for his wife. But the moment my mum
arrived at Sancroft and was shown to her room, our fears faded away and were replaced by a peace of mind that we hadn’t had in a long while.
The level of care, compassion and communication that Sancroft offers is so heartwarming, from the management team to the care team and reception, everyone is so nice. Mum has settled really well and actually improved with the contact, stimulation and comfort that she needed for a better quality of life in her later years. She is more chatty and generally happier than in a long while. And even though the pandemic has made things difficult, the Sancroft staff have done their best to safely enable and indeed encourage family contact. Thank you.

Review from Neil J (Son of Resident) published on 16 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ever since my mother arrived, she has been treated as a part of the family.
They completely understand her needs and adjust her day to day living to suit them.


As she suffers from dementia, we passed on our experience and opinion (based on her living independently at home up until she became a resident)

of the best way we have found to manage her day to day living.
All of the staff listened and embraced our suggestions.
If my mother has been upset or confused, they have been there to make her feel safe and loved.


She has now settled in brilliantly and is so much happier than when she arrived.
Whenever we have rung with concerns, someone has always been able to update us on how she is and what they are doing to make things even better for her.


We can highly recommend for peace of mind


My old mum is back again (as much as possible) and happy living there and the whole family cannot speak highly enough of the care, love and attention she has received and is continuing to get.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Throughout this worrying time, I have been certain that the staff at Sancroft have always had my mother's best interests at heart and have kept her safe and well. They always try to accommodate visits/requests and are very helpful with requests from my elderly father, who has been extremely worried
over the last few months.
The carer who usually deals with my mum are friendly and helpful, and I am grateful for her input and approachable manner.
The home is run by dedicated and hard-working managers/carers/admin staff and cleaners, and I am very happy with the service we have received from them all.

Review from Sonja E (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Whilst making the decision to find a residential care home for an elderly relative suffering from Alzheimer's is extremely difficult, I had no hesitation in choosing Sancroft. My mother then was then in her late 90s, so took a little while to settle in, but once she was used to the routine there she
appeared to be quite comfortable. We, as a family, were very impressed by the care all the staff and management showed in looking after my mother... her personal care and dietary needs were well met. On special occasions such as Diwali or Christmas, family and friends were encouraged to visit and join in the celebrations with the residents. Visiting hours were never restricted. We were always welcomed at any time, which helped in feeling we were visiting home and not an institution. My mother lived to be 100, and together with the management and staff organised a wonderful party for her to celebrate with family and residents, which we are certain she enjoyed, as much as we did.

Dear Sonja, thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and view about Sancroft.
It has been nearly a year now when your Mum is no longer with us, however, she is still greatly missed. We often talk about your Mum, remembering her lovely smile, and a good sense of humour.
Best wishes from all Sancroft residents and team to you and your family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was admitted during the pandemic, and she settled in quickly due to the welcoming, friendly and caring nature of staff of Sancroft. She continues to be treated with respect and dignity and receives good medical care. The management and staff look after residents as part of their extended family
and have been very helpful and accommodating in the difficult Covid circumstances, thus giving family peace of mind. The food served to residents is good and varied, and my mother is very happy with it. Feedback is regularly obtained from the residents. Residents are encouraged to take part in regular social and fitness activities. Staff continually monitor the wellbeing of residents. The management team have ongoing programmes for upgrading facilities for the benefit of residents. Overall, my mother is happy and well looked after at Sancroft, and this is important to our family.

I’m very happy with the service provided by Sancroft Community Care Home. The standard of hygiene is very high. Lots of antibacterial products in each room. Visiting time during COVID could be difficult, but thanks to an incredible member of staff, it was pleasant and safe. The visiting room is cleaned
before we enter the room, sprayed with antibacterial products and a shielding screen is being installed to protect everyone. Highly recommend Sancroft Community Care Home.

My mother initially went to Sancroft Hall for respite and she really enjoyed her time there so much that she refused to leave! My mother has now been a resident for nearly 4 years and the care she receives is exemplary. The home is nicely presented, has a homely feel and is really well run by everyone
involved - carers, managers, catering, housekeeping, and I pass on my thanks to everyone involved. My mother is treated with kindness and respect and it is reassuring to know she is well looked after. I couldn’t rate the home highly enough.

A friend of mine has been in Sancroft Community Care Home and she settled perfectly thanks to the staff, who are excellent. She has dementia and she seems to be really happy as she is being treated with kindness and compassion. She loves to spend time with other residents and she really enjoys the food.
The rooms are nice and clean with a garden view. I couldn’t be happier with Sancroft Care Home, especially during the COVID pandemic. There are video calls available as well as visits in the special visiting room. Seeing her happy - that’s the most important. I know she is in good hands.

My mum, during COVID-19 was feeling unwell so she advised to go for 15 days rest. But the treatment and care was so amazing, my mum refused to return to her home and decided to stay. She complimented the clean room, food and the staff who care for her in a very personal manner. She was treated as though
she was family.
I am very relieved that she is in such good hands.
Must thank all the staff for looking after my mother in such a pleasant manner. Always smiling.
Many, many thanks again.

I believe my late father enjoyed his 8-months in Sancroft Community Care Home. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The standard of care is high and all residents are treated with the utmost dignity. I was happy with my late father’s room. It was regularly cleaned, and he had a garden view. The
team at Sancroft were extremely accommodating. My husband and I usually visited with Sri Lankan food. The staff provided this to him during his mealtimes without a problem. Having lived in Sri Lanka for most of his life, we deeply appreciated the care home’s attempts to maintain this connection to his culture. The staff at Sancroft would regularly go beyond the call of duty. It meant a lot to my father that there were a couple of members of staff he could speak to in (Tamil) his mother tongue. My father had dementia, and we took great care in choosing a care home for him. I could not be happier with our choice of Sancroft Community Care home. Thank you for your support.

Sancroft has a homely and comfortable feel about it. From the first visit, we felt it was 'right' for our mum and has proved to be. We can rest assured that she is well cared for and looked after, always clean and tidy whenever we visit and we do not need to worry about her as we leave her. The staff
are all very pleasant and approachable, always around to talk to and always find time for us to answer any questions that we may have. As a family, we are very happy with Sancroft Care for our mum.

My nan has been in the dementia unit for just over a year and whilst it is heartbreaking to see her in the grips of this disease, it is a great comfort to me and my family to see how wonderfully she is cared for. The cleanliness of the care home is second to none and all the staff that I have encountered
are just fantastic. To see the way they look after and interact with my Nan and the dignity they give her is brilliant. It's a comfort to know that she is well looked after and in the best possible hands.

The care received was of the highest possible standard with care assistants anticipating and also responding to the needs of my sister as she became more frail. The end of life care provided was excellent and was so much more sympathetic than it would have been in a hospital environment. The support
given to her husband during this time was just what he needed. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone requiring this support.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.810) out of 10 for Sancroft Community Care Ltd- Sancroft Hall 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 62 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 61 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 4.810 for Sancroft Community Care Ltd- Sancroft Hall is calculated as follows: ( (616 Excellents x 5) + (100 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 736 Ratings = 4.81
  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 Sancroft Community Care Ltd- Sancroft Hall is based on 61 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 61 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.
