My mother has been at Sandstones for 6 months now and the standard of care is excellent. She told me all the carers are lovely and she feels we cared for and content.

Excellent accommodation and care. The room is clean and well-maintained. Staff are very attentive, pleasant and care for all my Mum's needs. (Great standard of care). Although Mum can't always make it down for meals, it's no problem and the standard of meals is very good.

My mum moved into Sandstones in July 2015, and as a family who supports mum we have never looked back, it was lovely, welcoming, as soon as we viewed it we liked it. Mum moved in on 25th July 2015, we asked about own furniture and it was allowed, so we brought a small double bed, chair, tv. The...
The food is great, there is plenty of it, mum just grazes all day, which I am happy about, at least she isn't going hungry, which was an issue in a previous home.

Always clean and fresh smelling. Mum enjoys the extremely well cooked and tasty meals.
Such a good idea that you call the rooms flat and have a letterbox in the door and a "kitchen" area,
I feel confident that mum is well cared for. Thank you.
My mum is a very difficult lady with vascular dementia. She is treated with care, concern, understanding and dignity, often in very difficult circumstances. Thank you Sandstones.

My friend has been resident since 2010 and the home has changed over time but in an extremely positive way. The décor is much more 'user-friendly' and really does feel like 'home from home'. The staff ensure that they know the residents well and care for them as individuals (family and friends are looked after too!!!) I cannot fault this home at all!
A very pleasant environment. Staff very friendly, caring and helpful. Everything was perfect. The one small improvement could be improved labelling of clothes to stop mix-ups.
