Thank you to the whole team at Sandfields for providing excellent care during my mum's respite stay. She has been safe, happy and healthy during her time with you.
On her return home, she had nothing but the highest praise for the meals, company and kindness of all the Sandfields staff without exception.
She was also able to maintain her independence whilst she was with you, using the garden and cafe when she chose to.
We look forward to keeping in touch with you in the future.

Exceptional Care and Compassion.
Our family is incredibly grateful for the outstanding care our mother received during her final week at Sandfields Care Home.
From the moment she arrived, the team showed genuine warmth, professionalism and respect; not only to our mother, but to us as a family. It
made an extremely difficult time more bearable, knowing she was in such capable and compassionate hands.
One member of staff, in particular, stood out - our mother's primary nurse. Her empathy, gentleness and constant support were far beyond anything we could have hoped for. She treated our mother with true dignity and provided comfort and reassurance to our entire family. Her approach clearly inspired those around her, as the same level of care was evident across the team.
We also want to acknowledge a senior team member whose thoughtful words during a particularly challenging moment brought great peace of mind.
We will always be thankful for the kindness we received.

I had been visiting a former client of mine whom I attended in support in the community they moved into Sandfields where I would still come in and visit and found all staff very welcoming and friendly and also very caring meeting individuals care needs the home is also very clean no stale odours always
fresh moving on another one of my clients needed to move into a home and felt confident in recommending Sandfields that the family as well as my client would be happy to live here so they moved in and every time I visit they tell me they are happy and the food is good and again all staff are friendly and helpful and they love their room which is equipped well and was able to bring a few items from home laundry wise items do get lost but asked if I could look in lost property and items found today I've noticed the activities are well planned for everyone to attend and understand the mini bus is up and running for small trips happy residents happy families would continue to recommend

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I began my search for a Care Home for my aunt, I really didn't know where to begin as I lived a long way from Cheltenham and did not know the area. A friend of my aunt had recommended Sandfields so I began my search there. I didn't need to look any further. I was shown around by a very professional
lady who explained everything during my tour of the Home.
Having decided on the Home, a couple of staff visited my aunt with a brochure before she moved there to explain everything and reassure her. The transition went very smoothly and my aunt was extremely happy there for the final 2 years of her life.
The care she received was superb and the staff often went above and beyond. Unfortunately she was bed-bound for most of her stay so could not take full advantage of the activities, visits and outings that the home offered. The food was always amazing.
The quality of the food was excellent and the staff would often prepare special meals for her as she struggled to eat some food.

I have become extremely concerned about the lack of staff, non-existing activities (especially at Weekends) and lack of communication. I have reported this to management but have received no response. There appears to be great unhappiness in all care sectors and with the high fees charged and increase
in April, the issue is unacceptable.
Reply from Samantha Debenham, Reviews Team at Sandfields

My father is very well cared for at Sandfields. The staff quickly worked out how to deal with his needs. The care, support and attention to detail provided on his suite is outstanding. Everyone is so kind, very helpful and friendly. The team leaders run the suite very efficiently and the team works
extremely well together. The activities team are welcoming and runs a big program of activities for all abilities. They are brilliant with the residents, creative and welcoming. Everyone has been so kind and helpful since Dad arrived 6 months ago. It's a lovely care home with a very homely environment and a well-kept garden. Dad loves the food, afternoon tea and going to the cafe downstairs. His room is modern, clean, warm and safe.

Dad was admitted for respite care after being in hospital very ill. The staff made the transition quick and gave us lots of help and advice. A stressful time made it a little easier.
Excellent facilities, clean, welcoming amazing carers. Dad even likes the food after nearly 2 years of eating very poorly,
he was malnourished.

My mother-in-law joined the Sandfields community only recently but has already made it her home and is very happy. The staff are all amazing and always have time for her with lots of activities she can join in with, her favourite being art where she has hours of fun. The whole of Sandfields feels inviting,
homely and comforting. Mum has commented that it's lovely to have company and not be on her own but has the space to do so if she wants time in her room. Not that she is ever there, we usually have to take a tour to find her as she may be in the Art room, the Cinema, the Cafe or even the hairdresser. Thank you to Sandfields for putting our minds at rest and caring for Mum in a dignified and special way that we no longer can. And putting the smile back on her lovely face and hearing her laugh again.

My mother was not at all well when we decided she (and we) needed respite care. We selected Sandfields based on recommendations from others and arranged a two-week stay in August. Mom was welcomed, shown to her room and helped to settle. She was helped to organise herself and taken to dinner with the
other residents. Over the two-week period of care, Mom became very settled and her health improved. She decided that she was very happy at Sandfield and wanted to stay. She has made friends with quite a few of the residents and carers and will happily tell anyone (and everyone) how nice it is not to worry about anything anymore. Mom really enjoys the activities and events that happen daily. On the health and well-being side, it is clear that now Mom has a healthy, well-balanced and well-cooked diet her health has improved considerably. Regular Doctor/Nurse visits and very well-trained care staff are very reassuring. We are very happy with the choice of the care home and everything it offers to Mom.

My Mother has been a resident of Sandfields for some 3 years and it has been her home in the true sense of the word. All the staff have become like family to her and us (including my siblings) - her actual family. She has always been treated with dignity and respect, always clean, dressed, groomed with
hair and nails looking immaculate. The staff, those involved in her personal care and those behind the scenes are very special people - kind and considerate, nothing is too much trouble. The lifestyle team have a full programme of events for all the residents, everything from quizzes, films, trips out in the minibus, craft projects, baking, animal visits etc. They do all they can to make sure there are social events for a whole range of activities without ever forcing anyone to attend. Sandfields is an amazing and very special home - care - they absolutely do 100 per cent every day. I could not have wished for a better place for Mum to have enjoyed her final few years.

Both my parents now live at Sandfields. Dad (93) has very severe dementia and it is such a relief to know he is safe and cared for 24/7. The staff are so kind and patient and I can't imagine a better environment for him to be in.
Mum (90) has been suffering badly from all sorts of age-related conditions
for years and severe depression. She was having carers at home twice a day at £35/hour. After 6 months at Sandfields, she is really thriving. A combination of proper care, proper hygiene, proper food, kind staff, a community of other people around her, lovely spaces (garden and coffee shop), a variety of activities she sometimes joins in, kindness and attention. All family members that visit cannot believe the change in her health and mood. For less than £11/hour too!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum came to Sandfields for respite but chose to stay as her mobility wouldn't' allow independent living in her own house.
We initially visited a few care homes in the area and Sandfields was the only one where all members of staff smiled and/or spoke to us.
Mum was very anxious about moving from
her family home; Sandfields' staff have been brilliant at reassuring her and making her feel welcome.
Sandfields is clean, bright and alive. Events and trips are put on for the residents, but Mum especially likes the café area near reception, spending most of her free time there, watching people come and go. We particularly like the free drinks and cake!
Mum misses old neighbours but, with no visiting restrictions, rarely has a day without family or friends.
The food is good and varied but what really makes the place home is the staff. Our family are so grateful to the staff who are caring, compassionate, empathetic and understanding to each individual resident in a fun, respectful way.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) out of 10 for Sandfields 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.816 for Sandfields is calculated as follows: ( (344 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 391 Ratings = 4.816
  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 Sandfields is based on 32 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 32 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

I'm a qualified and experienced nurse – I've worked in hospitals and care homes for over twenty years.


I joined Care UK in 2014 and have worked my way up to clinical lead, deputy manager and now home manager.


No two days are ever the same here at Sandfields. Every resident is treated as an individual and according to their changing needs. My favourite part of the day is meeting with my team at the start of the day, receiving handovers from each unit and supporting colleagues to make decisions that will make a difference in the lives of the residents.


Outside of work, I'm very connected with my church and the local community. I also like to spend my free time going camping, sightseeing and connecting with friends and families all over the world via social media.
