Review from Penny B (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Sandringham court is an old and tired building in desperate need of renovation.
Rats present in garden area, manager rarely available, advertise activities and chiropody on website, none done by Anchor. Residents family organize bingo and chiropody. Assisted bathroom out of order for 18 months.. regularly
complain to management all to no avail.
Reply from Shirley Toal, Service Delivery Manager at Sandringham Court

Thank you for your review of Sandringham Court. We are sorry to hear of your concerns and appreciate you sharing them.We have a preventative pest control contract in place with visits eight times a year. Following a recent sighting of a rat, a visit was carried out but no evidence of infestation was found.As we are an Extra Care housing location, activities are primarily resident-led, with our Location Manager supporting by promoting and advertising them. Chiropody is not a service provided by Anchor, though residents can arrange external providers and we understand families often help with this too.When away or on annual leave, our Location Manager, places a notice on his office door with contact details for support in his absence.We also note your comments about building improvements and the assisted bathroom, and we will continue to monitor these closely. If you would like to discuss further, he would be happy to arrange a chat at a mutually convenient time.
