Each time I visit Sandiway Lodge everyone is so welcoming and caring, not only to the visitors but the residents also. All the staff whether it be the nurses, care staff, domestic staff, office staff or kitchen staff go above and beyond for everyone, nothing is ever too much trouble for them.
The home
is always spotlessly clean with a wonderful atmosphere.

The Sandiway Lodge staff have cared for my friend beautifully for the past 12 months. It can not have been easy, but my friend had only praise for his treatment and care. The staff are very welcoming to visitors and kept me well informed at an appropriate level. The lodge is a warm, clean, pleasant
and very comfortable environment. My friend was very happy there indeed.

Mum became a resident at Sandiway Lodge in August 2023 until she died in February 2025.
She was very happy and content there and as a family, we were more than happy with the care and love shown to her over the time. She was always treated with dignity and respect.

Would highly recommend Sandiway Lodge care home, my father spent the last 4 months of his life here and the love and care he received were exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble and all the staff from the nursing care team to the kitchen, laundry, entertainment, handyman, and domestic staff were absolutely
brilliant. As a family, we were encouraged to visit whenever and they also treated my mother with great respect and love. A very well done to you all for making Dad's final months so comfortable and happy.

My father was a resident at Sandiway Lodge for 10 weeks before he passed away (in hospital) due to multiple health issues. The care he received from the whole team was wonderful. From Day 1 they were extremely professional, calling us up to double-check details of his prescriptions so that everything
was 100% clear. They treated Dad with so much kindness and patience, getting him involved with activities even though his dementia and mobility made this challenging at times. We visited several times a week and every time he had been washed, had clean clothes on, was comfortable and well-fed. Tasty, varied food and plentiful cups of tea. The team were always thoughtful and kind to my mother and me as well, offering us hot drinks at every visit and always having a smile and kind word for us. My mother underwent major surgery during this period and the staff always spontaneously checked in to see how she was. Based on our experience, I would recommend Sandiway Lodge without hesitation.

Reply from Macie Cox, Marketing Executive at Sandiway Lodge Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review we really appreciate it. Although Dad wasn't at Sandiway for long he was very loved and is missed dearly. Sending our deepest condolences to you, your mother and your family - our door is always open to you if you ever need support.

We were incredibly fortunate to discover Sandiway Lodge, where my father was loved and cared for by the best staff in Cheshire before he peacefully passed away. I am so very grateful to everyone of you who cared for my beloved father with such kindness and love, dedication and professionalism. He could
not possibly have been in a better care home. We know this because we tried two others before he came to Sandiway. Thank you all so much for going the extra mile.

My mum died in Sandiway Lodge in August. She had been a resident for over ten years. Initially in a residential capacity but for years in a nursing capacity. She has always been looked after with care, even love as relationships grew, dignity and respect despite her often difficult attitude. I cannot
praise all the staff enough. They do a hugely difficult task in a superbly caring and professional manner. During these years Mum had 3 rooms always appropriate for her needs as they changed and grew. She was not a great one for joining in with activities and outings etc but they were always available and she was always included and encouraged. For the last few years, she became bedbound but time was always found to talk to her, look at photographs or just be there. They also took loads of time to help me and were always good at keeping me informed and on the ball. I considered them friends as well. Thank you Sandiway Lodge you will always have my praise and recommendation.

My Dad was diagnosed with blood cancer in hospital and was discharged to Sandiway Lodge to spend his end of days there. He actually spent two months at the home before he passed away and was looked after with care and dignity by all the staff. His family and friends could visit at any time and were
always made welcome. I could also take my dog Rex who has severe separation anxiety and this was invaluable to me. My Dad did not use any of the facilities as he was bed-bound but his room was comfortable. I would recommend the home and particularly the caring and helpful staff.

My mum came to Sandiway after a long stay in hospital. The change was a big challenge for her, and together with her diabetes and other conditions, we were worried about how she would settle. But I have to say that the staff have been excellent. They have helped her in every way they can and are always
checking she is monitored and ready if she needs anything. We are very happy with Sandiway and would recommend highly.

Following a long hospital stay and various unsatisfactory care home placements, my mother-in-law was moved to Sandiway Lodge. From day one, she has been treated with exemplary care, her considerable nursing needs have been monitored and kept on top of with the staff having a brilliant insight into what
she requires. The staff have gone above and beyond to make her feel welcome and ensure she settles in

Mum has been a resident at Sandiway Lodge for almost a year now and it has changed her life beyond recognition. From not leaving her bed for months (in hospital) she now is up, dressed, socialising and putting weight back on.
The staff are just wonderful. I cannot express how much weight they have
lifted off my mind knowing that Mum is so well cared for. They have taken time to get to know my mum as an individual, given her back her dignity and put a smile back on her face. They are knowledgeable and professional but compassionate and approachable. From the manager, receptionist, nurses, care staff, activities coordinator and all the staff behind the scenes feeding, cleaning and maintaining the home, there is a can-do attitude that is uplifting and filled with good humour. There must be days when they are tired or feeling down but you would never know.
Some of the staff feel like friends of the family now and they have managed to create a loving, safe and caring environment.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.759)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.759) out of 10 for Sandiway Lodge Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.759 for Sandiway Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 290 Ratings = 4.759

  • 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 Sandiway Lodge Nursing Home is based on 25 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
