Sandfields

A very well run care home with great staff. I can honestly say that during the time my parents were at Sandfields I had no worries that they were being properly looked after. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. My father was discharged from hospital on end of life care to the nursing suite at Sandfields Care Home in July 2026. He could not have been treated in a more dignified manner and we as a family were treated with utmost respect and compassion. My mother had only just moved into Sandfields when my father passed away so was dealing with losing her home as well as her husband. Again, all the staff at the home treated her with care and kindness. They looked at Mum's needs and encouraged her accordingly to join in with activities. She especially enjoyed meeting other residents and visitors in the beautifully presented bistro/coffee area.

Staff do everything they can to help but can't always hear him if he needs to talk to us.

Thank you for looking after my mum during her second respite stay with you. Again we have been impressed by the high quality facilities and care. The staff are all so kind and friendly, providing a very welcoming atmosphere for residents and their families.

Sandfields have been absolutely fantastic at looking after my dad (who has advanced Parkinson's) The care has been both conscientious and full of compassion. My dad has thrived since moving here. Big shoutout to all the staff, from Tarisai, Vilma, Vivian and the whole team . The whole process has been great and couldn't ask for more!!

In my view, Sandfields Care Home deserves to have its Jan 2023 CQC "Good" rating changed to "Outstanding".

We have experienced nothing but extensive welcoming and hospitality. We are extremely pleased with the care and attention afforded to our friend. We have made these views known to everyone in our social community.

My aunt needed respite care after a fall at home. We approached Sandfields who arranged a home assessment and my aunt was admitted the next day. Since arriving at Sandfields she has enjoyed the food, had medication given on time, loves the activities, thinks the staff are very caring and kind and we have seen a huge improvement in her physical and emotional wellbeing she has since decided to make Sandfields her permanent home and we are delighted to support her decision and feel that Sandfields is the right place for her to live.

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

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.

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.

Mum's been here over a year now and things are as good as they've always been. The staff are amazing. So caring. The home always has a friendly buzz for residents, family, staff, and friends. There's always things going on if Mum wants to join in.

Excellent facilities, clean, welcoming amazing carers. Dad even likes the food after nearly 2 years of eating very poorly, he was malnourished.

Thank you to all the team and Sandfields for making the transition into care for my Dad so seamless. Every single member of staff I have met has been so friendly, knowledgeable and caring and the facilities are always spotlessly clean and of a very good standard.

I like the ambience, the staff is friendly and helpful. Love the Cafe area and think the garden area is well thought out. Staff always have time to talk to me and I have no concerns regarding Mum's safety and wellbeing. As an ex-nurse - the place smells nice! No stale urine or cabbage!

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.

Very friendly staff, always helpful. Feel my sister is well cared for. Nice garden to wander in. Activities are very good to keep my sister active. Very good coffee lounge for meeting other people. All in all, excellent.
