My mum is a resident at Sandalwood care home , and I couldn't be more happy with the care that she receives. I live in Australia and myself and my daughter came to visit my mum. Sandalwood went above and beyond , letting us have a family gathering on Saturday 21st June in the residents garden area. Sandalwood provided Sandwhiches, cakes and other snacks for us all to enjoy . The activities coordinator took time out to take some fabulous family photos, which was much appreciated . The whole family had a fab day.

I would like to commend the staff at Sandlewood Care Home in Corby for their very kind offer of supporting myself and family to provide a garden party for my mum who was having visitors from Australia and London and her family from Corby. The kitchen staff provided a buffet and a beautiful, very tasty sponge cake, along with plenty of drinks to keep us all hydrated in the sunshine. The activity coordinators supplied lots of games and equipment for all the family to use and took lots of photos for the family album. The care home staff went over and above their daily roles to do all of the above. My mum has been in Sandlewood for 18 months now and I would not want our mum/gran/GG to be living anywhere else. The home exceeds expectations and deserved 10 out of 10 for their kindness, empathy and caring attitudes towards the residents that live in the home. Well done to the manager and your team

Since my husband moved into Sandalwood court, I have seen a big change in him. He is so happy here and he is always talking about the care he gets and the people who look after him. I have never seen my husband so happy. I thank you to all staff who look after him.

My mum has been in Sandalwood for nearly 3 months. She is a very private person and had a few struggles too begin with, but thanks too all the amazing staff she has settled in great and is now enjoying mixing with the other residents and enjoying the great activities they have. Her care is second too none. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. So thank you everyone at Sandalwood you have made mums transition easy for her and our family. Keep up the amazing work.

I can not fault anything here, I am good, great staff. We all have a good laugh. I do odd little things with the gardening, keep them nice and tidy and they all call it my garden for what I have done as it was a mess. I have also walked around the whole building picking up all the rubbish. I can't thank you for letting me stay. I have lights for the garden to make it look a little cheerful. All staff love what I have done since I first came to live here. I thank you.

I am more than happy with the care my mom receives. All the staff go above and beyond to make sure all the residents are taken care of.

After the recent loss earlier than anticipated of my mum, dad had to be placed into urgent residential care. Sandalwood Court luckily for us as a family came to our rescue. The staff are wonderful with him and have really brought him out of his shell with his dementia. He is happy and settled which has brought such a relief to us at this sad time.

I had a week's respite as my wife had to go to hospital for heart problems and we were met by staff with much love and kindness, very welcoming. The home looked amazing with all the Christmas decorations and I just knew I was going to be happy. I had a lovely week, all the staff were very attentive, looking after me and caring to all my needs. Thank you all.

This is the first time experiencing a care home for one of our family. We have felt leaving my mum in very capable hands as she is being well looked after in very homely surroundings. The activities team are amazing at making everyone want to join in with them. We are so pleased we picked this place for Mum, she is happy and safe.

Didn't think Mum would have left her room when she first arrived but by the second day, she was joining in the activities (amazing). We are happy to leave her knowing she is being well looked after. Everyone is so nice and friendly.

I always find the staff caring and attentive. They engage with the residents in a friendly kind manner and seek to provide different ways to make their lives fulfilling and enjoyable. The staff provide seasonal celebrations and decorate the different floors to a high standard making the environment fun and uplifting. The residents are offered a variety of activities every day and have numerous entertainments from outside sources. It is lovely to see the residents joining in with singers that visit the home.

Amazing staff- careful, polite and professional. Everyday entertainment activities to make the residents feel more homely and make them happy. Well-designed, organised sitting areas. The resident's room is nice and clean and provided with needed equipment.

We have been very happy with the whole experience since Mum moved to Sandalwood Court. Everyone from the top down has treated Mum with dignity and respect. During her last month here I don't believe she could have received better care anywhere. Staff were always available to provide updates and any assistance required. Although Mum was confined to bed she still received excellent care and was always clean and comfortable. The atmosphere is always welcoming. No complaints at all.

We came to visit my nan today. The staff are always very friendly and caring. It was quiet today as many of the residents were upstairs for activities. Nan was happy and well looked after like she always is. We brought some old photos of my nan and her family. The staff were happy to come and have a look and talk to Nan about her family members.

My mum was at Sandalwood for 4.5 years. The care Mum received was exceptional. The staff on the top floor were great. Many thanks. Mum had to leave because we were told she needed more nursing care and was sent to another setting. She has been in there for 5 weeks. After 3 weeks Mum had 3 pressure sores. None from Sandalwood. She was being left in bed all morning. I visited every day and complained all the time. The hygiene care is not good, she doesn't seem to be bathed or showered often. And her incontinence pads are left wet and smelling. They don't seem to have the staff to look after all the residents that need extra care. Why oh why did they make me move her? She was so happy at Sandalwood.

Wonderful, clean and tidy care home with friendly, kind and compassionate staff. The resident was apprehensive when first moving in but has now settled in well and loves it. The staff are amazing with him and helps him to remain independent whilst keeping him safe. The staff truly care about their residents making sure they're well looked after and contact with families is great too.

I honestly can not review Sandalwood highly enough. Every member of staff no matter their role are absolutely amazing and have gone above and beyond. They have not only been fantastic with my family member, they have also been a huge support for myself when navigating this next step. I was so scared putting a family member in a care home and I felt a huge sense of guilt wondering if I had done the right thing, but the support of the staff showed me that I made the right decision. They truly are an amazing team and they are not just doing a job they care about their residents and are a family.
