Reply from Diane Dunn, Area Manager at Sandbeck House

Thank you for your kind review of your experience with Sandbeck House. The staff are keen to ensure that residents receive person centred care tailored to their individual needs and their days are filled with interesting fun activities. Staff do not consider Sandbeck as their workplace, but more so the residents home to which they are invited in and try hard to maintain a homely environment.

From the outset 10 months ago, the staff have been excellent with my mum. At times they have been challenged with changes in her behaviour but have always looked after and helped her day and night.
Mum always remarks on how nice all the staff are which helps us as a family to know she is well cared
for.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Sandbeck House to anyone. All the staff are a credit to the care home.

My mum spent the last 3 years in Sandbeck House. I was apprehensive about mum going into a nursing home to be honest, but my fears were unfounded the first time I went to see mum the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The manager was so informative and patient explaining the care side, medications
and any medical procedures mum was going to have. The care mum got was exceptional and I could phone mum any time and even have face to face if I wanted to.
When you walked into the home it was like walking into a big extended family the residents all seemed happy there was a lot of banter between staff and residents which was lovely, nothing was too much trouble and the staff was all very caring and patient towards the residents. Mum loved it there and I can't say thank you enough to the manager and her team.

To the management and all the team at Sandbeck, thank you so much for your outstanding care of my stepfather in the last few weeks of his life. He was only at Sandbeck for 3 weeks, but from the moment he came to you, to the moment he passed away, your level of care was over and above anything we could
have hoped for. With us living so far away, you kept us well-informed between visits. He was very happy with you and as his condition deteriorated and hospice care was offered, all he wanted to do was stay in your care. You have an exceptional team! Thank you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My dad has lived at Sandbeck for a number of years now and always says there is nowhere else he'd rather live. The fact he considers it home says a great deal.
I have always found the staff to be caring and compassionate - both with residents and loved ones; available to speak to, promoting open and
honest conversations if there are any worries or concerns and making the time to listen, and respond to, the views of residents and their loved ones.
My dad has always enjoyed the range of activities regularly organised - be they in-home or out-and-about. There are frequent themed events organised which loved ones are invited to and which are always enjoyed by all.
In what must be at times a challenging and stressful sector to work in, I've always felt that the Sandbeck staff team prioritise patient care above all else; care that also extends to the loved ones of their residents.

My mom was left in the lounge all day and there were little no activities, they used the TV in replace of face-to-face contact. My mom was only there for one week's respite. She has come back in a very poor state, her mental health has suffered. The home was understaffed so she was not taken to the
toilet when she needed and the home desperately needs renovation. My mom suffers from mobility and Parkinson's. I work all over the UK in care homes and hospitals. I would never recommend this place to anyone ever again.

Reply from Diane Dunn, Area Manager at Sandbeck House

I find the staff very friendly and approachable. Residents are not just plonked in a chair and left in the lounge. I visit at different times and there are always staff interacting with residents. The food always smells and looks appetising. The residents always look clean and the home itself is clean.
My dad has dementia and I feel the staff have a good understanding of this cruel illness. They are very good with him. I, myself have been shown compassion and support - what a great team.

Hi Beverley,

Before his death, my brother had seven good happy years at Sandbeck House Care Home where I frequently visited him for days out and reminisce times past in childhood. More recently I stayed at Sandbeck House following a period of hospitalisation. I cannot speak highly enough of the care, accommodation,

Since entering permanent care my mother's health has improved dramatically and she is calm and content. She has the odd moan about boredom but she doesn't see too well so doesn't occupy herself like some of the others. She enjoys the food and thinks her room is very nice. She says the staff are lovely
and kind.
I like the fact that I can visit at any time without an appointment and the staff are very quick to keep me up to date on any health issues. I doubt I would find a better placement.

My father was a resident at Sandbeck House and we were extremely impressed with the care, compassion and professionalism of all the staff team. They work extremely hard to give residents a good quality of life. They cared for my father in every aspect of his personal needs with extreme dignity. The
father was made to feel at ease. I would thoroughly recommend Sandbeck to anyone needing to make the difficult decision of using residential care. I have given staff my details so if anyone needs to speak to a genuine relative I would be more than happy to speak first hand. Well done Sandbeck you are first rate.

We chose Sandbeck House as it had al friendly atmosphere, good facilities including a lift. Good levels of security with front door, secured (you have to be let in and out by a staff member). On site laundry and meals are cooked onsite and all the residents seem happy and alert. Overall it felt like
a nice B&B by the sea. My mother had end stage dementia and was cared for and attended by the friendly, professional and dedicated staff. She was treated with respect. I cannot speak highly enough of this care home and staff. I was informed of every detail to do with mums care and could ring and visit anytime. We were lucky to have such a place for mum.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.546)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.546) out of 10 for Sandbeck House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.546 for Sandbeck House is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.546

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sandbeck House is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
