Sandford House - Chesterfield Road

I have been visiting a resident at Sandford House for over three years. The staff are efficient and kind. It has a happy positive feeling about it, the manager goes that extra mile to make it a happy home.

I would recommend this home to other relatives and indeed future residents. Care and compassion is very evident from all staff and managers, well done to all and a big thank you!! You all deserve to be praised. Their CQC report is well deserved.

My sister has been a resident at Sandford House for 4 years. Earlier this year she was sadly diagnosed with motor neurone disease. My sister regards Sandford House as her home and desperately wanted to stay there, in most cases she would have been sent to a clinical care home. However, the staff at Sandford House have an extraordinary commitment to their residents and chose to take on the enormous task of caring for her. In the last few months, they have undertaken training and research to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills needed to manage motor neurone disease. All the staff at Sandford House have had to work extremely hard, take on duties they wouldn't normally be expected to do and all of them with passion, dedication, determination and a level of care and kindness above and beyond any care I have seen before. Words cannot express how amazing everyone at Sandford House has been and no amount of thanks will ever be enough. In my opinion, Sandford House provides a model of exemplary care that should be used as a standard for all care homes to look to and learn from.
