Review from Richard D (Grandson of Resident) published on 28 November 2017

Overall Experience

the staff at Sanford House provided excellent care for my grandmother whilst in their care from August 2017 through to her passing on November 6th 2017. The staff were professional and very caring in dealing with my grandmother. When the appropriate time came both my sister and I were kept fully updated

and discussed end of life care for my grandmother. This was dealt with in a sensitive and caring manner. The surroundings are pleasant and rooms provided are of a good standard. However, most importantly it is the staff that make the place and that is important for both residents and the relatives.

My visits to see mum are met with friendly and welcoming staff, I always find that any questions I have are answered and information and updates on mum are forthcoming. I have every faith and trust that my mum is being well cared for and looked after as well as can be expected with respect and dignity.

Thank you all so much.

Overall Experience

My mother spent the last 6 months of her life at Sanford House Nursing Home, passing recently. We cannot praise the staff highly enough, they all have hearts of gold and treated my mother with care, compassion and dignity at all times. My brother and I spent the last week at her bedside and they were

kind and caring towards us too. Seeing mum then and her interaction with staff, we realised that they had become like a family to her. We were apprehensive when we went in having heard horror stories about care homes, but we were so pleased that she ended up there. Should the need arise, I would be more than happy to place my elderly father there.

Overall Experience

My wife was a resident for the past 6 months at Sanford House Nursing Home. I spent every afternoon in the company of staff and patients and was pleased with the welcome I always received. The care given to my wife was all I could have wished for and I know that my wife appreciated all the help that

was freely given by all the staff and management. Thank you all very much.

Overall Experience

My mother reluctantly had to go into a nursing home 15 months ago. During her time the care sh received was outstanding from all members of staff, showing care and compassion at all times. In my mother's final three weeks of her life the family decided to stay by her bedside day and night, not only

did my mother receive care but the staff went out of their way to ensure that we were also cared for, supplying us with food, drinks and bedding, showing the same compassion for us as our mother.

Overall Experience

My wife came into Sanford House Nursing Home in September 2014 with a one-to-one care. At first, some of the care was provided by agency staff but since using the homes own staff, the care is excellent. This gives a much better quality of care as the carer knows the resident's needs. I am very grateful

for the care she receives.

Overall Experience

I am always impressed by the warm welcome by all the staff every time I visit the home. The care and attention given to each resident is very noticeable. The staff can't do enough for them and you can tell they enjoy their work. The home is decorated with Christmas decorations the residents would have

been used to. It looks comfy, warm, festive and homely for the residents. The Sanford whole team look after and take care of my mum and all the residents really well. I'm very grateful to them all. I have peace of mind and are completely satisfied, thanks to them all.

Overall Experience

Absolutely happy with the care my Aunt receives. The staff are efficient and go out of their way to assist the residents and their families;/friends. Sanford House has a welcoming and warm ambience and feels very homely. It certainly is not a sad place but is a bustling busy home which makes a real

effort to keep spirits up. I would happily recommend Sandford House.

Overall Experience

My mother came into this residential home after Easter this year and she has been welcomed into an efficient, caring and friendly well-managed home. She settled in really well because people who work here were so professional and kind. We felt safe and secure with good communication and effective medical

care as well as confident in their facilities and approach. The food is particularly excellent and the atmosphere is full of warmth and generosity of spirit.

Overall Experience

I have been very impressed with the home. The staff are very caring and get to know the residents very well, for example, my mam likes singing old songs and to cheer her up the staff will sing the songs for her.
Mam has even said that she is very happy at the home.
The activities are great and mam

particularly enjoys when the performer sings.

My Mother has been in this care home since 3rd October 2016. She is being well looked after and I cannot fault the staff, nurses and management in any way.
Every requirement has been met, when it's time to leave from visiting her I feel reassured to know that she is in good hands

Superb standard of catering wth varied meal choices, listening to residents preferences.
