About Sandfields
Here at Sandfields, we provide nursing home care in the heart of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and we take genuine pride in the community we have built for our residents and their families. We support a wide range of needs under one roof, including older person care, nursing care, dementia care, mental health support, care for those living with a physical disability, care for younger adults, and respite care for those who need a short stay. Whether someone comes to us for a few weeks to recover and recharge, or makes Sandfields their long term home, we aim to make sure they feel genuinely settled and looked after from the very first day. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as good, and that reflects the effort our whole team puts in every single day. We work hard to know each resident as an individual, understanding their routines, their preferences, and what matters most to them, because good care really does depend on those details. Families are always welcome here. We believe that staying closely connected to the people you love is important for wellbeing, and we do everything we can to encourage those relationships to continue and flourish. If you have questions or concerns at any point, our door is always open. Cheltenham is a wonderful place to be, and we enjoy being part of this community. Residents who are able to get out and about can take advantage of everything the town has to offer, and we make the most of local connections where we can. If you are considering Sandfields for yourself or someone close to you, we would warmly encourage you to come and visit us and see the home for yourself. We are always happy to have a conversation and help you work out whether we are the right fit.
