It wasn't an easy decision to put Dad into nursing care and we looked into various places, Sandstones had wonderful reviews and we now know why. The care that Dad receives is 2nd to non, each and every carer is so caring and considerate, nothing is too much trouble. We are really happy that we chose Sandstones.

My husband has been in Sandstones Care Home since May 2024. Right from the start the staff were helpful, caring and understanding it's not easy when someone you love can't be cared for at home any more but the management and staff have made it easier to accept. They have become part of our family and we thank them for that they are always available… when needed service with a smile.

Mum has been a resident since last year, we were struggling to find somewhere suitable, some of the places we looked at weren't good, we were so lucky to find sandstones. She's been very well looked after since arriving there, we feel reassured that she's in safe hands, it's taken the worry & stress off us.

An extremly welcoming environment making all feel at home. How the staff (all of them) manage to stay so happy and upbeat all the time I do not know. All staff are clearly well trained and appear to be happy in their roles, they provide a real home from home atmosphere. I consider Sandstones to be well managed providing dignity, support and fun for… everyone.

We moved my mum into Sandstones after having to move her from another home where she had been happy. However, finances meant we had to move her in March 2024. The support to enable her to settle was second to none. Staff were always on hand to support her and us as a family. She is really happy, loves the room that she has and really feels like she… is in her own home. The food is really excellent care and support are fantastic and communication between the home and our family is excellent. Thank you to all staff you are stars!

Staff have been very proactive and kind to my mother who is a resident at Sandstones. Their patience and caring are evident both with my mum who is experiencing worsening symptoms of dementia and the care displayed daily I see in the lounge to other residents. Excellent reliable lovely team.

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.

- 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.

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.
