Review from David S (Husband of Resident) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife was admitted after suffering a stroke which resulted in her being paralysed to her left arm and leg. She is not incontinent but cannot use toilet facilities which requires staff to carry out those duties. Here, much to her initial regret, duties are always completely carried out by male staff.
They have proved extremely popular with her since she's been here. Food she considers adequate but not attractive. She has a very limited diet, which is the main problem. Accommodation is adequate but it's beset by being contaminated by cats. I think she will have regrets in leaving when she is moved to her permanent home.

Staff are welcoming and show concern for both residents and relatives. The room is very clean. Efforts have been made to ensure the resident is comfortable. Any concerns are addressed promptly. All residents are included in outdoor entertainment, which takes effort and organisation.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
When I 1st came to visit my sister I couldn't believe it, the room was so spacious and so clean. The en-suite is excellent with many safety features. The staff are very friendly and so helpful. You hear so many stories and I was very concerned that she would be left to either vegetate and or not be
looked after, but now I am confident that when my visit is over she is in the best hands possible. She has had her hair cut, her nails cut & painted on her hands & her nails on her feet at last look so much better. Thank you for your care & concern. Her medical needs have been well looked after & she is so much calmer & happier.

Review from K H (Son of Resident) published on 29 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff prepared Mum in her special wheelchair at our advanced request. She was clean and appropriately dressed. We took her into the garden area where there was some gentle karaoke going on. There were quite a few residents enjoying themselves and the staff were doing a great job of keeping everyone
entertained, but not overheated in the sunshine. We had a lovely time in the garden with Mum and celebrated her 89th birthday. Staff were happy to help out with requests for glasses, cutlery, and napkins. A number of staff stopped for a chat with Mum and ourselves. When we took Mum back to her room a staff member asked if it was OK to go ahead with Mum's dinner and we left them to it. We are delighted with the care and atmosphere at Sandown Park!

A pleasant experience showing us very clearly that my sister is being well looked after in very suitable surroundings. There appears to be a mix up where head office has received money for toiletries etc. and has not told the care staff that payment has been made.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Find some staff to be rude often arguing with family members, refusing to let resident use the toilet when asked "No it's dinner time", in front of family! Lack of personal care with regards to injuries/rashes being cared for/hearing aids having batteries etc. Residents are left in chairs most of the
day with little interaction/ stimulation - tele very quiet or on mute.
Reply from Shahnaaz Mohamad, Manager at Sandown Park

Thank you for your feedback. We take all concerns seriously, as the well-being of our residents is our top priority. I am in regular contact with your grandfather's next of kin, who is very happy with the care being received. However, I appreciate that experiences can differ, and I would encourage you to reach out so we can discuss your concerns in more detail. My door is always open, and I would welcome the opportunity to talk.

Our Mum always showed respect and treated with dignity.
The staff were all courteous and supportive of Mum and to visiting relatives.
The facilities were always found to be clean, tidy, and welcoming.
Mum did not participate in activities, however, the newsletter regularly received by post always
showed a full and entertaining programme.

My mother moved to Sandown Park in September, reluctantly transferred from another home due to increased needs and challenging behaviour. She is well cared for, and supported, and I am greatly reassured that any medical needs are attended to quickly. Management is excellent, staff polite and respectful
to residents and visitors, and it is also clear that the activities team are enthusiastic and creative in keeping residents stimulated. I know my mother is in good hands.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.556)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.556) out of 10 for Sandown Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.556 for Sandown Park is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (92 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 363 Ratings = 4.556
  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 Sandown Park is based on 29 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 95 registered maximum number of service users is 19, which has been reached with 29 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.
