This home is beautiful, clean and very well laid out. The staff are warm and welcoming. Mum settled very quickly and is very happy and has made new friends. The activities are excellent and on many occasions, I have witnessed how happy, settled and relaxed Mum is. This now gives me comfort in the knowledge
that she is well cared for and I see her happy on each visit.

Very happy with the clean environment for my father-in-law. The staff are kind, considerate and caring. The food always looks and smell home-cooked. Could not be happier that he feels safe, secure, relaxed and well looked after. We can be reassured that he's in the best place and I could not recommend
the home enough.

We are so pleased how Mum has settled into life at Sandalwood. She feels safe, happy and well looked after. The staff are extremely friendly and caring, they treat Mum with dignity and respect. Sandalwood is an uplifting place for Mum with its furnishings. She enjoys the privacy of her spacious room
and also likes to take part in the many organised activities. She enjoys sitting the two very pretty, well-maintained gardens. All in all, Sandalwood has been the perfect place for Mum to be.

All the staff at Sandalwood Court are amazing. The level of care is amazing and the place always looks very well maintained. I can't praise the people highly enough, from the management to the care staff to the housekeepers and of course the activities co-ordinator. I can't think of anywhere better
to provide the care and comfort that my mum receives. Thank you all so much from me and all my family.

Such a lovely care home, cannot put a single fault to them. The staff are so caring and really look after their residents, as well as the families involved. They made sure that we had a shoulder to cry on, a cuddle when needed and plenty of food. They really did go above and beyond. My grandma loved
it there and I'm so happy she got to experience the kindness and love from everyone who worked with her.

I am really lost for words with what to say about this care home!
The love and support they showed to my grandma throughout her time there was just amazing. The care staff treated her as if she was their own family, with late night chats and giggles. Thank you for everything you have done, and thank
you for also supporting all the family throughout my grandma's final days, you made sure we were all well looked after.
Keep doing what you're doing, you have some amazing staff. There are so many horror stories which you hear with some care homes - but from my experience, this one gave nothing but support and friendship to everybody.


Thank you.

What can I say, this place is amazing. The love and care they give to the residents is heartwarming. Not just that but also family and friends who visit. I would like to thank each and every one of you who have been there for mum with hugs, laughs and late night story’s to make mums final moments in
life count. God bless you all.

My mother-in-law has been in the home since April 2018 and found it hard to adjust also the family. The staff and management have been making mum feel at home. The staff are always helpful and friendly and mum has made 2 friends which helps. Her bedroom is a good size and clean as well as the rest of
the home. I have been at Sandalwood a few times when they are having their lunch and the food smells and looks good, mum does eat well! We find as a family we can visit any time of the day or evening and also our pet dogs are welcome. This was our 1st Christmas without mum and was happy to leave her at Sandalwood Court she opened her presents and had a lovely Christmas dinner.

My father has been a resident of Sandalwood since Jan 2011, and he is extremely happy there. He participates in the activities, encouraged by the staff. It has a lovely warm atmosphere, created by caring helpful and conscientious staff. This is achieved by a team effort from cleaning, catering and caring
staff. We are very pleased that Dad lives in this environment.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for Sandalwood Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.972 for Sandalwood Court is calculated as follows: ( (385 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.972

  • 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 Sandalwood Court is based on 33 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 33 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.

Kayleigh Mitchell

Job Title: Team Leader

Joined: 2010

Originally joined Shaw Healthcare in 2010 as a Support Worker where I found a passion for working with people living with dementia, especially supporting with keeping humour alive. Laughter will always be the best medicine and I thrive off seeing smiles on our resident's faces. I gained my QCF level 3 in Health and Social Care during this time. I joined Sandalwood Court in 2019 and haven't looked back. I work with a fantastic group of people and I'm proud to be part of the Sandalwood Team.

Job Title: Team Leader

Joined: 2022

I joined Sandalwood Court as a Team Leader in 2022. After around 21 years of care experience working in various sectors and gaining NVQ 2 & 3, I found myself going back to the area I began in. From day 1 the team here at Sandalwood made me feel so welcome. I believe that if you can support someone with even the smallest things and it makes them smile then it makes me happy. Helping others makes me feel I can be part of a team and make a difference.

Denise Laird

Job Title: Night Team Leader

Joined: 2014

I joined Sandalwood Court in the position of a support worker in 2014. This was my first role in care and I quickly found that this is the career that I wanted to pursue.


Working on the nights shows you a different aspect of care that most do not get to experience. In 2015 I was promoted to Night senior and in 2020 to Night Team Leader.


I am very passionate about my role here at Sandalwood and I like to lead by example and act as a mentor to those on the night team here. I can often be heard singing along with residents at all hours of the night and as long as it makes individuals feel comforted and safe that is all that matters.


Here at Sandalwood Court, we all work together as a team, a team which I am very proud to be part of.

Linda Thompson

Job Title: Domestic Supervisor

Joined: 2013

I have worked at Sandalwood Court since 2013 as part of the domestic team. I was overjoyed when I was promoted to the role of domestic supervisor in 2018.


I love my job and working with my colleagues. We are a fantastic team and we are always helping each other out. We all work together to ensure that the home is cleaned to a high standard.


We are always getting involved in different activities to brighten up our resident’s day and this can involve dressing up and getting our dancing shoes on.


I have formed some fantastic relationships over the years with residents and visitors.


I also work as a bank staff for the kitchen here and I enjoy working there too.


We are all one big happy family here and we all work together to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.


I have always been a people person and really enjoy listening to the residents talk about their own life stories.


I have really enjoyed my years working here and hope to enjoy many more.
