What others have to say

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

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for the daily care, compassion, dignity and consideration you have given to mum throughout her time at Sandfields.

Relative of a resident, January 2023

We visited Mum for impromptu carols in the lounge, and another time we joined in with a quiz with Richard the Lifestyle Lead. Both events were very good. The staff are very helpful and patient every time we or other members of mum’s family visit.

Relative of a resident, January 2023

We want to say thank you all so much. For our family it was an absolute and total comfort for us to know that he was in genuine safe and caring hands. We are so grateful dad found another family in you all at Sandfields. A very heartful thanks from us all.

Family of a resident, November 2022

A huge thank you to Malakia and the team for your efforts regards my parents wedding anniversary this week. It was greatly appreciated by my mum and family.
