Opened in 2000 and acquired by MHA May 2011, Sandygate is a purpose-built home offering personal care and accommodation for 54 older people.
Sandygate is situated within its own grounds in the small town of Wath-upon-Dearne just outside Rotherham. Today the town is known for the Wath Festival of folk music and the famed throwing of buns from the church tower. There are community amenities close by including local shops, a library and a Post Office.
The home is built over two floors offering residential and dementia care. All rooms come complete with high quality furnishings with modern en suite facilities, TV and telephone points. Outside there is a safe enclosed garden on the lower floor and a sun terrace on the upper floor.
Above all, MHA's “person-centred” ethos is strongly developed in the home. The activities programme at Sandygate is tailored specifically to each individual. Members of staff develop a programme of activities and care that takes account of each resident’s personality, abilities, interests and preferences. It helps people to feel valued for who they are now as well as for who they were in the past.
Privacy and independence, friendship and support - 24 hours a day
Sandygate offers care and comfort, compassion and friendship. At the heart of all we offer is our assurance that you will be treated with the respect and dignity that we all deserve, and if you need anything at all, we’re here to help, 24 hours a day.
Whether in the privacy of your own room or relaxing in the company of your friends and neighbours, we will support you to spend your time doing the things you enjoy. Let us know if it’s music, a favourite newspaper, exercise or a spot of pampering at the salon. Landscaped gardens invite you to appreciate the fresh air, or tend the plants, if you wish. There’s a wide range of social events, so you never need to feel bored or lonely.
Meal times are a special part of the day for you to savour tasty food, freshly cooked by our chef to suit you and any dietary needs. And, of course refreshments are available throughout the day for you and your visitors, who are welcome at any time.
Sandygate has the latest safety and security design features so you can live life to the full with peace of mind.
