Sandholme Fold is a very pleasant environment. The recent redecoration has been done to a good standard and very tasteful. All of the staff are warm, welcoming and very approachable to residents and guests alike. I am on first name terms with all of them. Recent improvements to the food have been a
big step forward. The professionalism and enthusiasm of the Manageress and her Deputy to drive forward on the improvements they have already made is very clear to see.

Sandholme Fold is a very friendly place to be. The Staff are very helpful, approachable and caring. The rooms are nice and bright and well kept and the care home has been recently redecorated in a very tasteful manor. The new food menus are nice and there are lots of fresh bakes to go along with regular
cups of tea. Guests are made to feel very welcome and are encouraged to join in with activities and trips. There is lots of entertainment for the residents to enjoy should they wish ranging from bingo, to vocal entertainers & crafts.

I cannot praise the staff at Sandholme Fold enough. Due to their care and expertise, my mother had a smooth transition when moving and has been able to settle in better than I could have dreamed. There are always various activities and entertainment taking place and due to these and the excellent members
of staff, my mother has improved in every way. The fact that I can see regular social media posts including my mother makes me very happy!

Mum was a resident at Sandholme Fold for the final 8 weeks of her life. Although her stay was short she was extremely happy and settled whilst living there. The staff were extremely caring and made us all as a family feel welcome. We were also well-supported following Mum's death. We are so happy we
chose to be a part of the Sandholme family and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

I can honestly not praise this care home enough. The staff are all so approachable and lovely. Nothing is ever too much to ask. The manager is fantastic. The care given is exceptional. They go the extra mile for their residents. My grandad is so happy and content at Sandholme Fold. With a lovely friendly
atmosphere, home-cooked meals and a comfortable room what else could he need? A big thank you to all the staff for the amazing work you do at Sandholme Fold.

My mother has been a resident at Sandholme Fold for over 2 years. She is well-settled and very happy. It gives me and the wider family much happiness that Mum is so well cared for. The whole team at Sandholme Fold from the manager to all the carers are so welcoming and friendly whenever we visit, and
my mum responds so well to all of them. I really cannot stress enough how Sandholme Fold has changed all of our lives for the better.

Mum has settled very well in her first year at Sandholme Fold. The atmosphere is lovely and homely, in part due to the friendly, welcoming and caring staff who always have time for everyone, residents and visitors alike (including the family dog). Nothing is too much trouble. Mum is well cared for but
is still quite independent enjoying spending time in the conservatory area and with other residents and her own cosy room, reading or watching TV. She takes part in some activities and trips out. She enjoys the food, particularly bacon and eggs for breakfast! In Mum's own words recently 'I don't think you could get better'. I am happy that Mum is doing well and receiving the care and supervision she needs in a safe and comfortable environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a recent visit to see our uncle, my brother and I wanted to write a review to say how unbelievably impressed we are with his care home. The team are so friendly and approachable, and are always keen to facilitate anything that is needed during our visit. The care home is spotlessly clean and the
food looks fabulous. Our uncle is well cared for, happy and loves all the staff and where he lives. The management team are so supportive regarding their communication and give very clear and helpful guidance when advising on the social care process, which can be such a minefield. We feel so lucky that our uncle lives in such an incredible place, and we feel very well informed of his health and welfare which is so helpful as we live geographically a long distance away. We really enjoy receiving the regular newsletters to hear about the brilliant activities that are being offered. We couldn't be happier.

Mum moved to Sandholme Fold in mid-July. She arrived nervous and anxious but was greeted with warmth by everyone she met. She settled in more quickly than we had anticipated and was keen to introduce visitors to members of staff. Sadly, she suffered a setback in health in August which resulted in Mum
being put on a palliative care regime. Mum is no longer able to enjoy being part of the community as at first, but we are grateful that the staff continue to give her individual care and kindness. She is in good hands. Thank you to all the staff.

A warm welcome by well-confirmed staff. Information on the resident as I was taken to her room and refreshments offered. All staff were friendly, residents appeared happy and well cared for. The home had a happy feel and the staff were on call as required. The resident's rooms and facilities appeared
clean and well-staffed. Left in no doubt that the care is good.

My elderly neighbour who we have been friends for many years has moved into Sandholme Fold following a fall in June. She was very reluctant but I can say the care from all staff, management, team leaders, caregivers, domestic, laundry, kitchen and maintenance has been phenomenal. Nothing is too much
trouble at all and you are made to feel very welcome, refreshments are there, one of the first questions asked as you arrive. Excellent. Thank you all.

I feel Sandholme Fold is a very well-run and well-maintained care home. Mum has been here for 6 months and is looked after with kindness and respect by all staff. Her room is a good size and always kept clean. The laundry service works well and the food cooked on the premises always looks good. Mum
enjoys the varied outside entertainers that come to visit. The management staff have been especially helpful with paperwork and are always approachable and keep me updated. I have always been made to feel welcome and would have no hesitation in recommending this home.

When you first visit Sandholme Fold you walk into a well cared for home, clean and modern. The staff are fantastic, friendly and genuinely care for the residents. I have the peace of mind to know that mum is safe, clean and extremely well cared for. The food is excellent and varied with lots of choices
and treats. There is a lovely modern and light communal area where residents can interact and socialise with plenty of activities going on throughout the day. Ranging from visits from entertainers, singing, exercise classes, celebrations for special occasions. Visits from schools who come and interact with the residents and a religious service for anyone who wants to join in. There is a beautiful outside space for people to sit and enjoy the weather. A local hairdresser comes in each week. Mum suffers with Dementia, she has made friends and enjoys joining in with everything. She is very happy and content and is always smiling, this is very important to me.

The staff and management have been extremely helpful in ensuring my mother has as comfortable a time as possible in the home. Staff also recognise that my mother had a life before her time in the care home and that she is not just 'another resident'. Staff have also been very helpful in assisting the
family to optimise my mother's stay.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.678)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.678) out of 10 for Sandholme Fold is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.678 for Sandholme Fold is calculated as follows: ( (242 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 329 Ratings = 4.678
  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 Sandholme Fold is based on 27 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 27 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.
