My mum spent 3 weeks at Sandhills Court for respite following a fall and a broken hip and then time in hospital and rehab.
She absolutely loved her time there, the staff, without exception, were kind and caring and treated her with dignity.
She always enjoyed the food and the facilities were first-class.
Thanks
to you all who cared for her.

Overall I have been very pleased with the friendliness, willingness, happiness, and attention to me as well as my husband, first class. Carpets let the home down, badly stained (clean though of debris etc.). Despite providing staff with a 'potted' history of my husband's life, no one made use of this,
to develop a greater understanding until I introduced it into conversations. Question the £30 a day extra for having a bigger room. The care and facilities are no different. A one-off premium should be quoted on arrival and the fees returned to the same as other rooms.

After previously asking for an extra wardrobe for my mother and nothing appearing for three weeks I asked the receptionist if she could chase it up. While I was there the wardrobe appeared and was put in place! Thank you to the receptionist, you are a star!

This was Mum's first experience of respite care. She was reluctant to go in, but the staff were very supportive and other residents were friendly. We were pleased to receive regular updates by phone on how Mum was settling and where she was joining in the activities. A good trial visit for us all. We'll
definitely use Sandhills again.

I was in rehab in March/May with a broken ankle and leg. The staff were very kind at all times helping me wash, toilet and dress. Always very helpful to take me to meals and activities. All the staff, office and cleaners, very nice people. My room was always clean. Always a good listening ear when feeling
down, missing my dog and family. The kitchen staff were helpful and the food was good. In fact, it was not very bad at all. Both day and night staff were great. Thank you.

My mum has been a resident in Rebourne since August 2020, I was aware of the home before she arrived as I had visited several times to see friends. The staff have been fantastic despite their pay, they have my greatest admiration, very few of us could do what they do every day. Mum is well-loved by
all and the standard of her care is superb, no one would want to go into a care home by choice but we are both delighted to have found a place here. Special thanks to the exceptional seniors and Mum's long-term carers. Remember, this is a partnership and as the family you must play your part, communication is key. Following a recent few days in hospital, my mum begged the doctors to be returned to Sandhills to die in her own home (what an accolade).

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after to such an excellent standard. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.

The care that is constantly given to me and my mum is excellent. The home has a family feel in a 5-star hotel setting. All of the staff are so caring, approachable and professional. I always felt welcomed by a friendly smile every time I entered.
Mum has been really poorly but thanks to her excellent
care she is feeling much better. I would absolutely recommend this home in a heartbeat. Thank you.

Mum was in Sandhills Court for one month for some respite care after a fall. The welcome was very warm and friendly. She settled in quickly and was very well looked after. All the staff were courteous and caring. Mum developed a bad chest infection, which was monitored and dealt with quickly and effectively.
On the whole, we were very happy with the home and the care.
The only negatives are 1) continuity - far too often, a different carer was on Mum's floor. 2) "Execution" - I asked if someone could help Mum cut her fingernails - it took three requests and one week!

My uncle came to Sandhills Court initially for respite care, and the carers were very supportive when he had to adjust to a permanent stay. His care was generally good, and he always felt safe and supported.
There were times when facilities and housekeeping fell below standards, with laundry being
delayed and his room untidy with cardboard boxes and unemptied bins. Problems were rectified but resurfaced. My uncle has limited use of his hand, and the carers help with his electrical devices and controls, ensuring he enjoys his interest in watching sports and listening to music.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.658)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.658) out of 10 for Sandhills Court 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 25 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 4.658 for Sandhills Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.658

  • 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 Sandhills Court 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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4, 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2025

I have been working in the care sector since 2003, starting my career as a kitchen assistant, where I soon realised my passion for the care industry. I later became a care assistant and progressed to the role of home manager in 2017. Throughout my career, I have managed different services and commissioned new homes – I have loved every challenge and experience.


I love working in the care sector as seeing the difference I can make every day brings me so much warmth. My goal is to make a difference to residents' lives and help them to live life to the fullest, by creating a home environment where everyone can thrive.


In my spare time I love to be with my family; taking on new adventures and enjoying quality time together.

Joined: 2018

I started working at Bupa as a care assistant, moving to senior care assistant, and then became Unit Manager before recently taking on the role of Deputy Manager. My mum was a care assistant when I was younger. She would take me to work with her on a weekend and I would sit and spend time with the residents and get involved with their activities.


I love working in care services and it's wonderful to know that you are making a difference in people’s lives.


I love helping people and I get a sense of satisfaction from seeing how my care makes a difference in their lives. Seeing residents achieve personal goals reminds me why I love doing what I’m doing. It's also about the staff; making sure they are happy and knowing they are able to come and talk to me for advice or just for someone to sit and listen to them.


I’m Married with 3 children and live local to Sandhill Court. In my spare time, I enjoy spending it with my family, bowling, escape rooms and going to the cinema. We enjoy going on holiday abroad once a year and will also have a long weekend away in the UK.

I love building genuine relationships with the people I work with, learning about their unique stories, and being there for them during both the good times and the challenging moments. The sense of purpose and connection I feel in this role is something I truly cherish.

I enjoy caring for people how they want to be cared for and taking time to earn their trust. Supporting residents physically and emotionally, building bonds and being able to make them laugh and smile is what I enjoy most; giving them and their families that well-needed respite.


In my spare time, I enjoy being in the garden with a beer or two. I don’t have any pets, however I would love to get a sausage dog. I’ve already decided when I do, he’ll be called Bert.

Laura has 2 daughters Evie and Maisie who are 8 and 5, we have them 4 days out of the week, so our house is a healthy split of giggles, barbie dolls and grumpy teens! I spend most of my spare time at the moment renovating the house and I'm also an avid woodworker, so can usually be found in the shed making bowls and candle holders on my lathe.
