My mother has been in Sandford Care Home coming up for 4 years in April. Me and all my family are more than pleased with the care she receives. She has come on such a lot since when she first arrived. That's why we are all grateful to all the staff at Sandford.

The staff at Sandford were caring and attentive with my aunt who spent her last years with them. She really settled into her new home enjoying the entertainment and friendliness of everyone. Her funeral cortege departed from Sandford and the staff put on a lovely funeral tea. This was my aunt's home
and the staff really worked hard to make it so. We really appreciate their dedication.

My wife has been in care in this home for 4 years and 9 months. 3 and a half years ago this home was acquired by Pearl.
Since that date my wife has had the utmost care and attention (presently 93 years of age) and I am treated in the same way during daily visits.

Mum was taken into this home just over a year ago with dementia. The manager visited mum in her previous home where she was left in her room lying on the bed. They moved mum very quickly into Sandford Care Home and within a day of her move a doctor came to sort out her medication which she had not be
getting. My mother is no longer crying in pain and spends her days in the lounge with the other residents. The staff are so caring and dedicated to keeping residents happy, nothing is too much trouble for them. The staff are also very quick to keep family informed about any accidents that might happen. The home is clean and uncluttered. I have no complaints whatsoever.

After carefully finding a suitable home for my father, we could not of asked for anything better. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. He is very happy there, we are free to visit if and when we please, which is great, no restrictions which makes our life easier. Feel so happy and relaxed about the
home, very well kept and run which you can see as they all know exactly what they are doing. My father is 91 since the 22nd of July, he resides here because of dementia but we are so lucky to have found somewhere like Stanford and only 10 mins away.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for Sandford Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.878 for Sandford Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (244 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 278 Ratings = 4.878

  • 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 Sandford Care Home is based on 24 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 24 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.
