The family were apprehensive about placing my wife in care, however from day one all felt this was the best place to care for her Alzheimer's and as time passed there was an improvement in her health and personal wellbeing. We are very satisfied with everything at Sandon House.

Sandon House is a friendly and well run care home. The staff do their best, at times under extreme pressure to ensure that the residents are looked after to the highest standard, from the housekeeping staff, carers and events organiser. They all give 100%. My sister has been a resident for over 5 years
and despite her declining health and inability to communicate, is cared for lovingly and with dignity. They make families and visitors welcome and try to keep a positive and friendly atmosphere.

Absolutely lovely home. My mum has settled in well. The staff are at the heart of it, they are so hard working, lovely with all the residents and I can't praise and thank them enough for what they do.
Special mention to the entertainment coordinator who has made everyone's Christmas so lovely. There
were so many things going on such as the Christmas fair, choir singing, a pantomime and coming in on Christmas day was a lovely experience for all staff, residents and the residents families including myself.
Keep up the good work and thank you for your dedication.

All the staff are very kind and caring to the residents. They treat the residents like you would your own family.
They work extremely hard to entertain the residents and the food is very good.

Two family members are now residents of Sandon House. We feel that the care and attention given to them, by all staff is excellent. We have visited at all times during the day and always found the staff to be approachable, who communicate well with each other. Clearly led by an exceptional management
team. The activities coordinator goes above and beyond working with pride and passion which is so lovely to see. Please forward our gratitude to them all. Thank you.

Our experience when visiting my mother-in-law is always comforting to see. She is always well looked after and happy. Many times we've turned up and she would be in her room dancing and singing to a particular music artist and that puts a smile on our face. We trust all the staff at Sandon House and
they all do an excellent job.
Thank you to you all.

It's always a pleasure visiting Mam in the home because the staff are a credit to your company. They are in my mam's words "absolutely brilliant". Very caring and thoughtful and tend to all her needs with a smile on their faces. A special mention must go to the staff member who keeps them entertained
and involved with games and entertainment which inspires the residents and keeps their minds going.

Sandon House has a very friendly caring staff and a welcoming atmosphere, Mum is comfortable living there and regards it as her home. I communicate regularly with the care home staff regarding visits and medical appointments and find them reliable and helpful. Managers are flexible and open to discussions
regarding Mum's changing care needs. Mum's personal care has improved recently.

The home at Sandown House provided our family with the peace of mind that our mum is safe, well cared for and most importantly not alone. The staff are pleasant and keep us updated with Mum's health and well-being. We have a very positive relationship with staff and work together for the benefit of
our mum. The home provides activities to engage the guests and provide beauty treatments, which Mum enjoys.

We are so pleased to have placed my dad in the care of Sandon House. The staff have made a difficult time much easier for me and my family. To have our dad safe and secure is a massive weight from our shoulders. I can't thank all the staff enough. There are plenty of activities and the food is great.
We would thoroughly recommend Sandon House and the HC-One team to anyone looking to place a relative into residential care.

Mum requires lots of help as she is not mobile and has been on bed rest. The carers have been so good with her, moving, hoisting and explaining what they are doing. It takes a lot of time and patience, which I am pleased to say, she is getting.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.598)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.598) out of 10 for Sandon House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.598 for Sandon House is calculated as follows: ( (159 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.598
  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 Sandon House is based on 21 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 21 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.
