My husband spent his final weeks at Sanford House Nursing Home, and I cannot begin to express my gratitude to the entire team for their kindness and compassionate care. Every need was met with warmth, patience, and a smile-nothing was ever too much trouble.
The home itself is immaculate, with bright
and welcoming spaces that create a comforting environment. A special thank you to Senior Nurse, whose exceptional dedication went above and beyond to ensure my husband and our family felt as comfortable and supported as possible.

Our father was admitted to Sanford House Nursing Home from hospital on 7/1/25. He was only in the home a short time before he passed away there on 26/1/25. However, we can not speak highly enough of all the staff we came across whilst our dad was there. They were all so lovely, very attentive and efficient
and cannot fault the care he received there in his final weeks and days.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this home with regard to care, nursing, family support and especially the palliative care. Our dad was treated with dignity and we appreciate that very much.

The care home manager has transformed what was a dated approach in that home into an absolute gem. My wife's 49 and has MS and as she's way too young to be in a nursing care section but is the time they spend one-on-one and even on days off making sure my wife and other residents get that personal connection
is way above and beyond. This isn't funded, and this isn't in not just in my wife's situation but others this isn't because it's extra funding they do it because they care I've spoken and expressed this to the manager who's always available to talk. I've myself worked in care homes and leadership starts from the manager and getting a team to support their idea of excellent care and that's exactly what's being achieved that home has really started to shine under her and I'm very thankful.

Dad was in need of urgent residential nursing care and Sanford although 30 minutes from his home proved to be the perfect place for him in his final 2 months of life. The family can't thank the team enough for the care and compassion they showed Dad. He was happy to be here and they made his time here
pleasant and soluble as much as they could before he was too weak to join in - but he was happy at his end of life. And when that came he was comfortable, pain free, and loved. Thank you Standford for all being so wonderful to our Dad.

When someone you love has care needs greater than you can provide as a family, the emotions are overwhelming. The care and treatment provided by the staff at Sanford House was individualised, consistent and of a high standard; over and above what we had anticipated but everything we could have hoped
for.
The communication and support for us as a family was honest, reassuring and compassionate. Every person we met whatever their role had a positive and kind attitude and we would have no hesitation based on our experience in recommending this care home to others.

Thank you for easing our concerns and reassuring us when my husband was discharged from hospital to be cared for at Sanford House. The knowledge and experience of the staff helped us enormously. It was a different time for all of us but he was made comfortable and received wonderful care. Meals were
excellent, all staff interacted with him constantly and they kept us informed all the time. He sadly passed away and that experience was made easier by the kind staff. Thank you from all his family.

As a resident whose family was spread across the country, with 3 children in Scotland, I can only commend the care, respect and friendship that was shown to my mother. As her condition deteriorated the level of attention that she was given and the phone calls we received assuring us of her comfort were
extremely assuring to us that she was in the place that suited her increasing needs. All the nursing staff were interacting with her and this was more than evident in conversations I had with them. We cannot thank the staff enough for this.

Just can't fault Sanford House Nursing Home. My dad arrived here after a long spell in hospital and wish we could have got him here sooner. Staff and care go above and beyond with a feel-at-home atmosphere. I only gave the activities an excellent tick based on previous reviews because my dad was unfortunately
too poorly to participate in any. Everything else in my opinion was faultless and just can't express enough how efficient the whole setup is. Bless you all the team and would recommend it without any hesitation.

Although he was only at the home for a short time all the staff went out of their way to make the whole family comfortable. His dementia made it hard for him to communicate but we could see that he appreciated the care given. All of the staff made sure that he and we were kept involved in his care and
informed. Two areas we did mark slightly lower were 'Rooms' - functional but a little dated/austere. 'Security' - we did have an issue with toiletries going missing. Overall though we are very grateful to all the management and staff for making his final days a little easier. Thank you.

We came to the dementia presentation which was excellent, informative, enjoyable and has left us with a much better understanding of the disease. The professionalism of the staff is always evident and now we feel we can tackle our family, who have dementia, with a much better understanding and can be

Although half of the ratings are marked good, all these are closer to excellent rather than satisfactory. I visit my wife (who can be difficult/awkward) more or less daily and see that much time is given and much effort is made to attend to her needs. Also, as a relative, I greatly appreciate the time
given to me by all staff to keep me informed on what has been happening and for helping to sort out various issues with my wife's care. Some ratings are left blank because - facilities and activities, my wife is very frail and immobile and hence unable to make use of/participate in these. However, I am aware of the weekly/monthly events and have seen the efforts made by staff for these, plus talks. Value for money, as presently care is funded through the NHS.

I have to congratulate the staff at Sanford House, each and every one of them has been supportive, informative and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for them. My mother was welcomed into the home for palliative care and she has been made very comfortable and is having a care plan put into place to
cater for her needs. It is a very emotional time and the staff are very reassuring and supportive. My own criticism is the decor is a bit tired and outdated. Perhaps a lick of paint would brighten things up but I am aware that a refurbishment is currently being put in place.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.706)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.706) out of 10 for Sanford House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 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 4.706 for Sanford House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 279 Ratings = 4.706

  • 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 Sanford House 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2023

As the Home Manager I believe our residents are our priority, and we are privileged that they choose to be in our homes and care and trust us to support their needs.


I completed my Nursing Degree at Trinity College Dublin in 2010 and moved to the UK in 2011. Since becoming a Registered Nurse, I have worked in a variety of roles within the care sector for over 13 years. I have worked with adults with learning disabilities and mental health problems in secure services for over 4 years and then moved on to Dementia and Nursing Home Care. I progressed to a clinical lead role and then onto the part of Home Manager. I also supported homes across Norfolk and Suffolk as an Operations Manager.


Working across various settings has supported my clinical and management skills development.


I operate an open-door policy and am approachable, not only to my team but to the residents and their relatives too. I encourage person-centred care and reflect this in how the staff team works and delivers their care.


I am passionate about putting residents first as we are given the opportunity to work in their homes and care for and support their needs.


I enjoy training developing and mentoring my team members to grow and develop in their roles at home and within the company.


In my spare time, I love to spend time with family and friends. I enjoy reading, running, and watching rugby. I also enjoy travelling when possible visiting different cities and countries and experiencing different cultures.
