My father-in-law is 94, he has numerous medical needs. Sandon House meets these needs and goes the extra mile.
The management has been supportive, helpful and above all kind to our father and ourselves. We greatly appreciate the level of care given to our dad.
Thank you all at Sandon House.

Mum has been in Sandon House since September 2019. We were concerned at first about mum's care then our concerns quickly went as the staff were very caring to mum and respectful to me and my family.
Whenever we have concerns about mum the staff deal with the problems and we are reassured again. Keep
up the good work in caring for our lovely mum.

My mum is happy, cared for and is entertained by the many activities organised for her and the other residents.
The staff are friendly and approachable and take my mums care very seriously.
Any queries I have are answered thoroughly and promptly. Well done to all the staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Good home with caring staff although sometimes messages and requests are not passed on which causes anxiety and stress to both relations and service users. Food quite repetitive and bland, and although some activities are advertised, not sure they always happen due to staff shortages. Better now more
permanent staff have been recruited. Management work hard and long hours and I know they are striving for improvement for all.

My mother-in-law came into Sandon House 6-7 weeks ago. The staff couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. They have worked hard to give my mother-in-law the best care possible whilst taking into account what her needs have been. Every member of staff has been very pleasant, helpful and welcoming to
myself and other visitors. We are completely happy with the level of care and support which my mother-in-law is receiving thank you to everyone.

The activity lady makes my gran's life better. Sandon is a lovely home. Everyone is very friendly and the home feels like a home. Not a hospital.
I would recommend the home to friends.

I have been visiting Sandon House on a weekly basis over the last 12 months. I have found it to be a happy environment for the residents.
There is often a lovely atmosphere. The staff are always respectful and very caring.
Without naming names, I would like to mention especially the manager and the
activity coordinator.

My experience of Sandon has always been positive. The staff do their very best to care for residents.
Recently my husband and I celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary. The staff arranged for my husband to give me some flowers. It was a genuine surprise for both of us, very thoughtful of them and much
appreciated.
'Going that extra mile'; this is a good example of the caring attitude of Sandon's staff.

My mother was admitted for respite care. The service that she has received from all the staff is excellent. They are always happy to discuss any issues with family members and always have a smile to greet us. This has been our first experience of care homes and it has been a very positive one.

I found the review excellent as I found out how the staff felt my mother was doing and could discuss her needs for future care. The person who conducted it made me feel that my feelings and those of my mother mattered and that she was a person and not just another resident. The whole review was conducted
in a relaxed and friendly manner.

My mum has been in Sandon House for nearly a year. I cannot believe how well she has settled and the care she receives is amazing. She has dementia and other problems but is always treated with respect and dignity. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff. It has taken the pressure off myself
and my family so much. I now feel at last I have got my own life back. I can't thank everyone involved at Sandon House enough. They are amazing.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.603)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.603) 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.603 for Sandon House is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 234 Ratings = 4.603
  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 20 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 20 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.
