She showed us to our friends room and what a lovely room it was. Very clean, bright, and modern.
Our friend then took us on a tour of Sandmere it had to be a 5*+ better than any hotel we have ever stayed at.
The staff were so nice and kind even though they were busy they still said hello and had a chat with us.
The dining area was very welcoming and the menu and food looked lovely.
We then went to the area for guests where there was tea, coffee, snacks and home made pastries for guests.
Coffee was made for us by staff which was very nice.
So we say to all staff at Sandmere thank you for the care you show to your residents but also to visitors.
We will visit again.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is so reassuring that visitors to Sandmere have also been made to feel welcome in our beautiful home. I will pass on your kind comments to the team. We look forward to seeing you again.

I would like to commend Sandmere's housekeeper who made no fuss & did an excellent job of cleaning up my Dad's room following an accident last week. It was much appreciated. I felt powerless to help as I had nothing suitable to use but she assured me that it was her role and no bother at all. She was quick, efficient & managed to remain upbeat & jovial throughout - which I would have struggled to be in her position!! She was a real superstar and SO professional and I would like to thank her.
Thank you for your lovely review. I will make sure that this is passed on to our amazing housekeeping team.
I came in for 3 weeks respite care following a foot operation. Only open for 6 months there are a few teething problems. I could see that in time everything would be excellent. I have recommended Sandmere to lots of friends who visited me and could see for themselves what an excellent home it is.

Thank you for your review. We are so pleased that you were happy with the standard of care we provided when your Mum was with us for a respite stay. It was a pleasure looking after her - she will always be welcome at Sandmere.
Mum was extremely well looked after during her respite stay at Sandmere and made to feel at home. Staff went above and beyond to take care of her when she fell poorly for a period of time. Excellent care, thank you.

Thank you for your lovely review. It was a pleasure looking after your Mum and we are all looking forward to her next "holiday" with us.
The ambience and design create an atmosphere of comfort and elegance. This is so important for the patients who, at the end of their lives, not only need to be treated with care and kindness but also need to be living in an environment that provides appropriate nursing facilities and dignity.
