Sandfields is a purpose-built care home in Cheltenham, providing quality residential, nursing and dementia care. Known as a ‘home for life’, the team can support when a loved one’s needs change through a personalised care plan.
Sandfields truly sets the standard in comfort and has been recently refurbished to offer a luxurious, contemporary and elegant setting. Sandfields has a range of luxury facilities including a café, hair and beauty salon and cinema room.
Built over three floors, each floor is divided into suites, each benefiting from its own dining room, lounge and spacious en-suite bedrooms. Ground floor rooms open on to the beautiful gardens. Creating smaller communities in the home makes it easier for residents to get to know each other, and it keeps hustle and bustle to a minimum.
The Cheltenham home is situated near to town, and the dedicated lifestyle team arrange a programme of one-to-one and group activities, as well as trips out in the home’s minibus.

The medical staff are A1 and always so helpful and if you need a doctor they will get one ASAP.
The cleaning staff are again so very good, the place is spotless all the time plenty of freshly homemade cooked food and will take orders. Thank you so much really love it here.
That is very kind of you, we always do our best to maintain our high standards. Thank you for reviewing us.
The staff are fantastic with my dad. He's at a stage where he can be quite demanding; however, all his requests are met with a smile.

We were very unsure about whether our father was ready to go into a care home, but having placed him at Sandfields, we realise it was the best decision. His health, both physically and mentally, has improved since being there for the last three months. He is happy and never gets bored, as he loves all the activities that are laid on, and he gets to socialise regularly. The stress of having to go shopping, cook his meals, do washing, etc is gone enabling him to enjoy life. All the staff at Sandfields are friendly and always happy. No regrets on his and our side.

We have been very pleased with the care and help our auntie gets at Sandfields. What can be a difficult time has been managed with compassion and support by everybody at Sandfields. Thank you.

My mother moved to Sandfields in February 2023 from another care home in Cheltenham, where they had been awarded a CQC outstanding award. Her care there (and mine as a relative) at this home was much less than outstanding. Having never been through a care home selection process, I thought a CQC...
I'm so pleased with how well Mum has settled in, the staff are caring and compassionate, and I feel Mum's needs are fully met. Mum has dementia, is immobile and struggles to communicate her needs, but the staff understand and work with her to reassure her and ensure her comfort.
I visit Mum sometimes daily. Unlike the previous care setting, I'm made to feel very welcome and part of the family at Sandfields. This matters very much to me as I had looked after Mum at home for a long time prior to her needing a care home setting.
In my opinion, I feel that Sandfields deserves a CQC outstanding!

The team at Sandfields work hard to create a safe and comfortable home for residents. Key staff have been in post for years, creating a warm and caring environment. Communication with relatives is good, and we always enjoy our visits to Sandfields, including time spent with Mum in the excellent care, or when the weather is good, in the lovely garden.
Hi Philip, we are delighted to read your review. Thank you very much for highlighting our long-standing staff members and our communication.

My relative has lived at Sandfields now for seven months. Her physical health continues to be well, and her mental health has gotten better; she is witty, humours the staff, has established relationships with the carers and trusts and allows them to take her on walks, activities and showers regularly. We receive regular feedback, and even at the first sign of a cold coming, we were notified and continued to be updated as it developed to a sore throat but reassured it was not Covid and her temperature was regularly taken. If we take Mum out and we've asked for warmer clothing, we have gone in and found her dressed suitably, and her coat, hat, scarf and gloves are all laid out beautifully for us to assist Mum to be ready and warm on a cold winter's day. We could not be happier as the quality of care continues not only for Mum, but the staff take care of us also - nothing is ever a bother. If only all care homes were as genuinely compassionate and thoughtful and constantly considerate.
Sandfields is a warm and welcoming home with staff who show high levels of care and concern for both residents and their relatives.

My 90-year-old mother spent a few weeks here for respite after a fall. She loved it so much that she asked to stay permanently. Can't fault the staff - they are all lovely and caring. The meals are pretty good, and the service is first-class. Plenty of activities on a daily basis, and residents are encouraged to socialise and interact. Lovely rooms, all kept well and clean.
My husband was cared for very well and was very happy. We also loved the cat more. Thank you.

My mother has recently moved into Sandfields and is happy there, having been unhappy in her previous care home. She says that all the staff are very nice and caring and she enjoys regular trips out in the minibus. It is important for me to know that she is safe, well cared for and happy.

I was extremely grateful that my sister-in-law was allowed to enter Sandfields within six hours of applying to the home. All the staff that I came in contact with during my sister-in-law's stay were extremely helpful, caring, polite and respectful, and nothing was too much trouble. My sister-in-law's wife and myself found the facilities f the cafe/bar and garden were great areas for all of us to relax together. My sister-in-law was treated with dignity right up to the end.
The last week of her life, she was nursed extremely well, and all her needs were seen to quickly.
Top marks to every member of staff at Sandfield.
I will strongly recommend Sandfields to anyone because of all their facilities and caring staff.

The most caring staff I have ever met. It is so clean and always tidy. I can see it much be a difficult place to work in, emotionally and physically, but I am always met with a smile. My grandma suffers with dementia, and the staff are so sympathetic and well-informed.

Throughout the past five years, and especially during the "Covid" epidemic, I was kept informed about my sister's condition, and as the rules were in place, everyone did the best possible for me. All the staff work to keep a high standard at all times and the results can be seen and felt.

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.
