Sandtoft Care Home

after a period of separation and as she was also suffering from some medical and mobility issues she made the decision to join him in Sandtoft.
She echoes his sentiments and adds that she feels "safe" at Sandtoft which she did not when living alone.
Both have large well-equipped rooms with en-suite toilets and washbasins and both have views out to sea.
Both are very happy with the food quality although my father complains that there is too much just before eating it all.
As they have been married for 66 years it is delightful to see them together again holding hands while both fast asleep in the conservatory!

She was pleased to have en-suite and sea views!!

I got to know well. They treated their job more as a vocation and cared for residents as if they were close family members. I never visited the home without finding my mother, who had dementia, happy and smiling. Every member of staff was a joy to work with. Care, compassion, and pride in their work were truly remarkable. Cleanliness could not be faulted. Surfaces were immaculate and there was never a trace of an unpleasant odour. The caring kitchen staff also deserve praise. My mother's room was small, but she did not need anything larger, and it had very good wifi (not important to her, but possibly for a family member, and certainly for me when I had to sit at her bedside).

her former home, the staff were extremely caring and patient with her and emergency safeguards were implemented to protect Mum's safety.
The staff are well led by their Manager, up to date with their training, with knowledge of residents needs, appointments, likes and dislikes, they are very caring treating everyone with respect and dignity like their own family, often going the extra mile for them. Extended family are always made to feel welcome, everyone knows you and they provide support to you if needed. We are kept informed of any health issues visits from G.P. nurses or sudden hospital admissions.
I know Mum is happy, safe and well cared for in such a happy homely care home.

and any areas of concern are dealt with, with family members informed.

The staff are all well trained and know what their tasks are and complete them efficiently, confidentiality and with and good humour, while showing residents dignity and respect. They all have a good working relationship with residents and know their individual needs. Staff also know residents extended families and always ask how they are, offering support to us all as well to the residents. Visitors are always welcome, as they would have been at home.

During the time that she has been at Sandtoft Care Home, we know that not only is Mum now safe but that she is also cared for by all the staff at the home.
