Both parents are residents with very different needs. All of Sandy Banks staff show compassion and enthusiasm in their work and have a genuine desire to help. Mum is enjoying the social side of being with so many people and is in a place that can cope with her dementia bad days. We went through a number
of agencies whilst my parents were at home who all claimed to be able to deal with challenging behaviour and couldn't. There is plenty to eat with food trolleys serving drinks and snacks between meals. The home is a credit to the entire team.

Even from the 1st meeting at the care home, the staff were very knowledgeable about various behavioural problems, mum's medication and needs.
Before mum was accepted for Sandy Banks Care Home the manager came to see her and even when mum was exhibiting challenging behaviours I was assured she would
be fine here.
Mum has calmed down she has her moments but due to the skill, care and knowledge, the staff all seem to be able to cope with her. She is now eating, sleeping and not doing so many laps of the home now. Mum has even put on weight and my visits are so much more pleasurable.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.730)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.730) out of 10 for Sandy Banks Care 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.730 for Sandy Banks Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 270 Ratings = 4.73

  • 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 Sandy Banks Care Home is based on 23 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 23 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.
