Sandtoft Care Home

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!

My friend especially praised the choice and quality of food. She was pleased to have en-suite and sea views!!

My mother was in Sandtoft for almost six years, and over that time I became very familiar with the home under three managers. It was absolutely superb. If I had to choose a home for another close and loved relative, Sandtoft would be my choice. The best asset of Sandtoft is its wonderful staff, who 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).

I know Mum is happy, safe and well cared for in such a happy homely care home.

Suffering from various health issues including dementia, Mum moved into Sandtoft Care Home for her own safety. Arriving in poor health, the attention and care given to her by staff and where necessary community Gp’s and nurses, Mum’s overall health improved. Her medical issues are attended to promptly 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.
