Review from A E (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 4 April 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
She has been a resident for over four years. She has always been treated with love and dignity. She has had spells in hospital - the last being late Dec 21 from where she contracted Covid and then had to spend weeks in an alternate care home where her deterioration was evident. I genuinely believe that
she is only with us today because she came back to Sandhome Fold. Thanks to the whole team.

I can not thank the staff and management enough for the care that they provide for my mum. Recently my dad sadly passed away, leaving my mum, who has dementia. Sandholme Fold was recommended, and I can see why. The staff are friendly and focus on the resident's needs. They also help family members as
much as possible. I feel pressured when leaving my mum, which meals such a lot. Thank you.

My brother and I could not be more happy with the care and attention our lovely step mum has received at Sandholme Fold. The staff are lovely, the facilities are good, and they have made a real effort to have a range of interesting activities for the residents. When I come or call on the phone, my mum
is often helping with baking, doing crafts or listening to an entertainer. What an amazing home!

Review from David M (Son of Resident) published on 23 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Although the staff who attend to my mother are very good, my mother has fallen out of bed on two separate occasions due to not having side supports to her bed. This has now been rectified. She is unable to walk without a frame due to a hip operation. Also on more than two occasions has been ringing
the buzzer because of bedding being wet through due to having a weak bladder. Two hours later she was attended to, due to being short-staffed. Management denied this, I told the assistant manager that I wanted this put as an official complaint. She told me that the manager will ring me on Tuesday 25th May. I am still waiting. It is now Sunday 6th June. Also, I work long hours Monday to Friday and can only see my mother on a weekend to take her out in her wheelchair. When I spoke to the manager after the restrictions were lifted by the government I was told this can only be done Monday to Friday 10 to 4. Weekends can not be done, but why don't you take time off work. My mother pays for her care.

Feel so fortunate that we were able to secure a place here for my brother who unfortunately suffers from Parkinson’s, and needs residential care.
The staff are so caring, always have time to offer reassurance and information about any issues you want To discuss. Especially during such challenging
times for residents, staff and families.
Keep up the good work.
You are so appreciated.

Sandholme Fold is a very friendly and very clean home. I think the staff now "get" my mum as her dementia isn't necessarily what people would think. The staff are always very kind and caring with her.
Her room is always clean and tidy, and the laundry is turned round very quickly.
My mum is not
always that keen on some of the meals, but the choices are good (could just be here tastes changing as she deteriorates).
My mum is very happy there.

I have been satisfied with the level of care my mother has received during her four years at Sandholme Fold. During the Coronavirus pandemic, the home have done their utmost to ensure the residents are kept safe, in what was a worrying time. I hope this continues and I am happy the home have made it
possible for me to physically visit and see my mum.

The care for my Mum has been 100%. Very dedicated staff, caring and compassionate, and friendly. Very clean and well organised. Well balanced meals. It really is a peace of mind knowing Mum is very well cared for and in a safe environment. During the very difficult time with the pandemic, it was a tremendous
relief when the results came back all negative for the staff and all residents, no complaints whatsoever. I would recommend Sandholme Fold. Lovely place and lovely people. Thank you so much.

Management are excellent. We are missing having a dedicated activities person.
As I have not been to the home in person since the middle of March its very difficult to rate as current, so this is on my past experience.

My mum had been a resident at Sandholme for two and a half years before she passed away there earlier in 2019. The staff are marvellous and made mum feel very safe and sound. They treated her like family despite her dementia taking over from time to time. A lovely residence.

Sandholme Fold has a very welcoming atmosphere which is immediate on entry. All the staff are friendly, polite and caring. My mum-in-law has very well cared for in all her needs for the past two years.
If you have any concerns, these are addressed immediately and the staff are available at all times
to discuss any issues. It is an excellent care home and one that I have no hesitation in recommending.

I have been delighted with Sandholme Fold.
You achieve the perfect balance between professional competence, efficiency and friendly informality.
Every single member of the staff has been unfailingly kind and hospitable and I wouldn't have any idea how you could improve such an outstanding care home.
My mother is a very lucky woman to be here.

My mother was a resident at Sandholme Fold for 3 months. In her time there she was treated with the utmost respect by all the staff. The home is well managed and run. It is clean, bright and welcoming. There are always plenty of activities arranged for the residents. Families are welcome to visit and
are in turn welcomed. I would recommend Sandholme Fold.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.676)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.676) 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.676 for Sandholme Fold is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 306 Ratings = 4.676
  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 25 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 25 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.
