We visited Sandmere for a birthday celebration for a resident. We didn't see any residents rooms or experience the normal meals. However, we were warmly welcomed on arrival, the staff we saw were friendly and helpful, the home was impeccably clean and well-presented. Overall, a very pleasant environment. The resident seemed very happy with his stay. We were impressed to hear how the home provides a birthday cake of the residents choice, and about how they organised activities to suit the residents. Overall, very impressed.
Thank you for your kind review. We aim to make all of our residents feel special and a personalised birthday event was the perfect way to celebrate.

I love sitting on the patio with dad looking at the garden having a cup of tea. I also love being able to book to eat meals with him as eating together is important, today we had a birthday lunch for dad in their private dinning room which felt very special.
I looked at a number of care homes in the area and am very pleased that we picked Sandmere
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are all really proud of the homely atmosphere at Sandmere. It was good to see you enjoying the fabulous meal in our private dining room for your special occasion.
I have learnt a lot about how special the people are that do this work.
Also, the food here is excellent. If I need care again I wouldn't hesitate to come here again.

Thank you so much for your lovely review and it is our pleasure to be supporting your lovely Mum, and we agree that she is doing fantastic and is very much a part of the Sandmere family as are all her family and friends.
I never thought I would have to place my mum in a nursing home and after a lot of emotions and feeling very guilty it had to be done.
My mum is settling well and the staff are professional and also friendly.

My cousin was cared for by the staff at Sandmere Care Home for a short while before her death.

My cousin was cared for by the staff at Sandmere Care Home for a short while before her death. From the first contact with the home, to moving her in and then to caring for her in her last few days, everyone was so kind and understanding. They showed great empathy and patience and kept me informed. They also accommodated numerous visitors and when she was on her own, sat with her themselves. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind review, it was a pleasure to be able to care for your cousin. We will pass your feedback on to the team.
