Mum was a resident for 5 years before moving to another care home. She died several months later. Sandiway was excellent. Mum was very happy there and the staff were all lovely. We all felt Mum was in very safe hands.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father was placed in here several months ago, I was able to visit from America for a month - so visited Sandiway Lodge every day. I was impressed with the facility, especially the friendliness of all the staff. I hope soon they can find a replacement for an entertainment person, but I know the staff
try hard to help in this area.

Review from A S E (Resident) published on 22 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was unhappy at the start of my residency but now I am more settled. One thing I do not like is the expense - each room costs differently. Why? I realise staff have to be paid but one thing you probably need to know or think about is the fact that "the world is full of those willing to work and those
willing to let them."
I am an unmarried woman and had to be independent all my adult life and have always bought and sold all my own properties. In any case as a spinster I could not be provided with a council house or flat - no further comment needed I believe.

My mother was in Sandiway Lodge for the last months of her life. I found the care given by all the staff first class, also when my mother was on end of life care they gave her the best of attention at a bad time. They gave me a lot of personal comfort and I will always be grateful.

Review from Beryl H (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 6 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The first seven days were excellent but if my last day had been my first day i'd have walked away. On my last day I was in my room at 4am when I had a vertigo attack, I managed to push my button. Someone came, I said I felt awful, they took my blood pressure, shrugged their shoulders and left. At 6am
I asked for a cup of tea but didn't get it. At 10am I asked him again he denied my earlier request.

The overall standard of Sandiway Lodge Residential Home has dramatically changed for the better. New management cannot be faulted and staff more knowledge with the understating of the elderly. Well done to all concerned.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister loves it at this care home. She loves all the staff and never has a bad word to say about anything or anybody. It is always kept very clean, well maintained and the staff all seem to be very conscientious and pleasant both in person and on the phone. The home provides appropriate activities
and is prepared to take small groups out for days, nights and short breaks. The food according to my sister is excellent. Keep up the food work!! Thank you to you all

Recent months have seen a very welcomed change at the home. More professionalism from the management team. Cleanliness has also improved greatly. I now feel more confident in the care my family member is receiving.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Sandiway Lodge Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.820 for Sandiway Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (215 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 256 Ratings = 4.82
  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 Sandiway Lodge Nursing Home is based on 22 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 22 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.

Deborah Parry

Job Title: Registered Home Manager Joined: 2023

I have worked in care of the elderly since I was 14 years old.
Following on from all NVQ's in care I decided to undertake my Nursing degree in 2004-2007.
I qualified with a first-class honour's degree, I then worked in an acute hospital setting in Endoscopy and theatres for 10 years before returning to my first love of care of the elderly in 2017. Since that date I have worked as a senior nurse, unit manager, deputy manager and now manager at Sandiway Lodge.
I am passionate and motivated to engage with our residents to provide dignified person-centred care and help to improve their lives in whatever way we can.
