Date of assessment 3 July 2024 to 23 July 2024. Sandwood is a ‘care home’ providing personal care and support to older people and people living with dementia. At the time of the assessment, the service was supporting 24 people with their personal care needs. Sandwood was last rated Requires Improvement (published 4 June 2024). Both the previous and this assessment have been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). We returned to complete remaining quality statements which had not been covered in our first assessment because we had seen improvements. We assessed a total of 20 quality statements from the safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led key questions and found areas of good practice. The scores for these areas have been combined with scores from the previous assessment. This means the overall rating has changed from Requires Improvement to Good.
