I cannot praise the staff at Sandholme Fold enough. Due to their care and expertise, my mother had a smooth transition when moving and has been able to settle in better than I could have dreamed. There are always various activities and entertainment taking place and due to these and the excellent members of staff, my mother has improved in every wa… y. The fact that I can see regular social media posts including my mother makes me very happy!

Mum was a resident at Sandholme Fold for the final 8 weeks of her life. Although her stay was short she was extremely happy and settled whilst living there. The staff were extremely caring and made us all as a family feel welcome. We were also well-supported following Mum's death. We are so happy we chose to be a part of the Sandholme family and wo… uldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

I can honestly not praise this care home enough. The staff are all so approachable and lovely. Nothing is ever too much to ask. The manager is fantastic. The care given is exceptional. They go the extra mile for their residents. My grandad is so happy and content at Sandholme Fold. With a lovely friendly atmosphere, home-cooked meals and a comforta… ble room what else could he need? A big thank you to all the staff for the amazing work you do at Sandholme Fold.

My mother has been a resident at Sandholme Fold for over 2 years. She is well-settled and very happy. It gives me and the wider family much happiness that Mum is so well cared for. The whole team at Sandholme Fold from the manager to all the carers are so welcoming and friendly whenever we visit, and my mum responds so well to all of them. I really… cannot stress enough how Sandholme Fold has changed all of our lives for the better.

Mum has settled very well in her first year at Sandholme Fold. The atmosphere is lovely and homely, in part due to the friendly, welcoming and caring staff who always have time for everyone, residents and visitors alike (including the family dog). Nothing is too much trouble. Mum is well cared for but is still quite independent enjoying spending ti… me in the conservatory area and with other residents and her own cosy room, reading or watching TV. She takes part in some activities and trips out. She enjoys the food, particularly bacon and eggs for breakfast! In Mum's own words recently 'I don't think you could get better'. I am happy that Mum is doing well and receiving the care and supervision she needs in a safe and comfortable environment.

How much does it cost?

Care homes

Our current private weekly fee at Sandholme Fold is from £1,250. This can vary due to resident dependency, size of room and location. Our Home Manager and other colleagues will be happy to discuss fees and any other questions you may have about paying for care.

What is included in care home fees?

For many people, moving to a care home is a big decision and it can be difficult to know where to start. Care home fees are based on a range of factors, including specific care needs, which can change over time.

Living in an Anchor care home you can be confident that a single fee covers the cost of your personally tailored 24 hour care and support, utility bills and meals, as well as a fantastic range of daily activities. In an Anchor care home our weekly charge includes:
- cost of personal care
- accommodation
- utilities e.g. heating and light
- all resident catering, meals, snacks and drinks
- laundry undertaken on the premises
- television licence, including for person use
- housekeeping services.

The following extra items and services are not covered by the weekly fees, however we can arrange for them to be provided (at an additional cost):
- professional hairdressing
- personal copies of newspapers or magazines
- personal purchases such as stationery, confectionery, toiletries etc.
- clothing, shoes and slippers
- dry cleaning
- private telephone line rental and calls and cable connections.

In the absence of free provision by the NHS, we can also arrange for the following healthcare services to be provided, these will be charged in addition to the weekly fees:
- chiropody
- optometry
- dentistry
- physiotherapy
- other privately arranged healthcare
- care staff accompaniment to regular medical appointments.

No upfront deposit is required at any of Anchor’s care homes to secure a room.

At Anchor we pride ourselves on offering a truly tailored approach to care and therefore need to fully understand your needs to provide you with an accurate fee estimate. Please call us to discuss your specific care needs today. Alternatively we welcome you to visit us to discuss your situation face-to-face.

Want more information on care home fees?

Learning about the different funding options available to you can also help you feel confident in your decisions. Anchor know that securing care home funding can sometimes appear a rather daunting task and so to help we have put together a free guide covering requesting assistance, top up fees and third-party payments.

Welcoming you

To start your enquiry simply click 'Enquire now' at the top of the page and either call us or complete an online enquiry form.

We’ll provide you with full details of the home, along with any other information you’d like, such as sample menus and activity schedules.

Whether you’re looking to stay with us permanently, or for a short break, we’d be delighted to take you on a show round of the home in person. Simply book a visit with the home manager once you’ve made your enquiry.

If you or your loved one doesn’t live nearby or are unable to visit in person we can provide a virtual show round. Either way, we’re keen to show you what daily life is like here and for you to meet our friendly team.

We hope you decide, following your visit, that you or your loved one would like to move into the home, in which case we’ll organise a pre-assessment to make sure we can meet all your care needs.

Our friendly onsite team will discuss every area of moving-in with you in detail to make sure you and your loved-one know exactly what to expect and feel confident, safe and welcomed when coming to live with us.

Before you move in, we will find out if there are any of your possessions that you wish us to place in your room before you arrive. Please bring your family photographs and most treasured possessions to help make your room your home.

We understand how important visits are for everyone and we welcome regular visits from family and friends. We also actively support our residents to enjoy visits away from the care home.

Each of our homes is different and the manager of the care home you’re interested in will provide all the information you need around visiting.
