The dedicated and experienced team at Sandfields will provide your loved one with care that is completely tailored to their individual needs and wishes.

No two days are ever the same here at Sandfields. Every resident is treated as an individual and according to their changing needs.

What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Sandfields care home.

We would like to thank all the staff for the wonderful care you have given. We really hit the jackpot. The staff have always made her feel loved and I know she had a special bond with many of you. We were particularly touched by the end-of-life care, and how peaceful and tranquil you made her last few days.

Relative of a resident, September 2021

We are so grateful for the tender care you gave to John. We want to thank you for looking after him with such love and dignity over many months.

Relative of a resident, January 2021

The level of dignity, respect and care shown to my mother during her time at Sandfields was outstanding. The team were sensitive towards us at a difficult time, and were there to help if we had any concerns. As a family, we were so grateful.

Daughter of resident, January 2021

The care of my father-in-law has been extremely good at all times. When he had a bit of a temperature and requested a COVID-19 test he had this and the result was passed on to us as soon as it was available as well as to him personally. Having the company of other people to communicate with, both staff and residents has greatly improved his mental wellbeing.

LM, December 2020

Mum has been at Sandfields now for a year and she is clearly very happy in the environment there. The staff on her unit and throughout the building are all caring and compassionate and all treat residents and visitors with the upmost respect. There is a true 'family ' atmosphere there.
