He seems to be recovering from the flu he had in January and seems to be able to use his legs , with the help of a zimmer frame. I hope he will continue to improve so that we can take him out for a break from the care home.

Initially it was for 6 weeks rehab after being in hospital for 3 months due to complications so after several recommendations and with mums agreement she went to stay at Sandstones .
It took mum about 6 months to settle down into life here after being a fiercely independent woman but it was apparent to her and our family that we could not manage her physical and emotional needs especially as we are all getting older !!.
The team in every department help mum 24/ 7 with her needs and she gets involved in the various activities and outings as she has the mental capacity to engage but needs support with her mobility especially as she regularly has lots of family and friends visiting
As a family we would like to thank the whole team at Sandstones allowing us to have quality time with our lovely mum xx
My lovely Aunt has been a resident in Sandstones for over 3 years, I visit regularly 3-4 times a week and I have come to know the staff and I'm forever grateful for the care and attention they give to her and to the other residents.

Ben and all the staff including ancillary and kitchen, are to be commended as they all genuinely care about the residents, and their welfare. They are always welcoming when I visit.
It is so important to us as a family to know she is safe and cared for by the Sandstone team.

Never did I envisage I would need this for my husband and to hand him over from a very loving family was incredibly hard, but I wished I knew then what I know now and it would have been so much easier.
He has gone from one wonderful family to another, the care and respect and kindness shown has overwhelmed us.
We as a family looked at 11 care homes before this one and every day we count ourselves very lucky to have found it
My dad is very settled here, which says a lot about the care he receives.

Our family had to move dad into Sandstones in October. It's such a lovely environment for him to be in with his own room and communal lounge. It's clean, well-kept and improving with new floors going in. The staff are all lovely, kin and patient with visitors and residents. They take note of each individual's needs, likes and dislikes, which can't be easy! There is an endless supply of food, plenty of snacks in between meals which dad enjoys! There are plenty of activities through dad isn't too involved, it's good to see others enjoying themselves. Dad is settling in, which is such a comfort to his family. Thank you to all you lovely, hard-working carers.
My dad is a resident, and the care and kindness he receives from the staff/carers is fantastic. Recently, he was poorly, but I was confident that they would take care of him like I would. That is the best praise I can give. He is happy, content, and most importantly, safe, and as a family, we are...

The home was warm and friendly and the staff were helpful. However an item of value was lost during my husbands stay and the has clouded my judgement of the home.

We have nothing but praise for the wonderful staff at Sandstones who show such care to all residents, my Dad has dementia and he's always treated with kindness and dignity - would highly recommend this nursing home.

We moved my mum into Sandstones after having to move her from another home where she had been happy. However, finances meant we had to move her in March 2024. The support to enable her to settle was second to none. Staff were always on hand to support her and us as a family. She is really happy, loves the room that she has and really feels like she is in her own home. The food is really excellent care and support are fantastic and communication between the home and our family is excellent. Thank you to all staff you are stars!
Staff have been very proactive and kind to my mother who is a resident at Sandstones. Their patience and caring are evident both with my mum who is experiencing worsening symptoms of dementia and the care displayed daily I see in the lounge to other residents. Excellent reliable lovely team.
