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.
Sandygate Care Home shot to fame in September 2018 with their rendition of 'Baby Shark' which was watched by thousands of people on the MHA Facebook page.
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.
Sandygate is committed to providing alternative therapies such as music therapy to residents, while our Chaplain offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs.
Funded through charitable support, every MHA care home also prides itself in being able to offer unique and memorable opportunities and activities for residents to quite literally help them 'seize the day'.
