Sandholme Fold

The environment + care provided from my observations are extemely good + easy to find a welcome smile.

Sandholme is amazing. They managed to get Mum moved in at super short notice when we needed care in an emergency, and from this point I can't fault them. Mum loves the staff, she's really well cared for and the facilities are great. Every single member of staff genuinely cares and it's a real comfort to know Mum is in such safe hands. I can't thank everyone enough for all they do for Mum, and for the help and support they've given me through the loss of my Dad.

My experience of Sandholme is entirely positive! The staff are helpful, courteous & kind to my husband. They keep me informed of my husbands condition whenever necessary. He enjoys his meals. He enjoys sitting in the garden when weather allows. His clothes are kept clean & numbered with his room no.

In 2025 it was decided that my mother could no longer live independently, which was upsetting for my mom and myself. I visited a few care homes, however on visiting Sandholme I felt it was the right place for my mom. She became a resident in December 2025 and after a few days had settled in! She has made friends and participates in most of the activities. The staff are lovely and helpful, always keeping me informed about mom. I cannot recommend this place enough. I can relax knowing mom is being looked after. I have also made some new friends at Sandholme. I am known as 'part of the furniture ' ! I myself feel at home when I visit and am looking forward to spending another Christmas Day with my mom and 2nd family!

The home itself is clean, warm and comfortable and I am very grateful that there was availability when I needed it. I have no hesitation in recommending this Care Home.

The Sandholme Care Home is in my opinion outstanding. The staff are all kind considerate and understanding. The management are always available to talk and reassure with any problems that may arise in all my opinion is that my wife could not have better care for her condition.

We all really like the garden and the "Haven" upstairs, where we can have some private time with mum. Many thanks

The improvements made were much needed, and you can tell by how much happier the tenants are, from the food to the staff and management. You can see the management is now doing what they are paid to do. They meet and greet when I go, and they let you in, with a lovely smile, it makes you feel welcomed. Thank you for now doing an excellent job and looking after my mother.

I have my own telephone and room. I have my own comfy bedroom and I am well looked after. I enjoy my meals and the home is spotless

Sandholme Fold is a very friendly place to me. Staff are attentive. I have my own room and key. They make lovely home made cakes and the home has been decorated and new carpets.

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.

I moved into Sandholme Fold to make new friends and start enjoying life again. I can honestly say this is the best move to make. I have made new friends and continue to go out to my Church and shopping.

I have been a resident of Sandholme Fold for 2 years. The staff support me and the manager has been a godsend and helping me with my finances. The food is always good and any preferences are respected. I am happy and well cared for at Sandholme Fold.

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.
