Our home at The Sands Meadows is nestled in the leafy suburbs of Hest Bank, near Lancaster. Surrounded by peaceful gardens, we help those with dementia manage everyday life in a homely and safe environment, perfect for those looking for care homes in Lancaster.
We are proud of our strong community links with local schools, churches and associations, who help bring life to the home with organised events. Residents here with us enjoy a varied activity programme from our dedicated Activities Coordinator, participating as much or as little as suits their individual needs.
Exceptionally decorated en-suite bedrooms are filled with home comforts and our dining and lounge areas are spaces for important interaction with family, carers or residents. There is also a quiet room for moments of calm when need. Nutritionally balanced meals are prepared fresh on site by our kitchen team and we have regular visits from specialists such as hairdressers, chiropodists and physiotherapists.
This truly is a home in all the ways it should be for our residents. Family and friends are welcome any time to pop in for a cup of tea and chat with their loved ones.
We specialise in EMD (Elderly Mental Dementia) care at our Sands Meadows home. This is for people living with dementia who do not require any clinical nursing care, but support with daily tasks.
Care is delivered by our experienced and close-knit team of highly-trained dementia carers. Every resident received a tailored care package in line with their individual needs and our staff are always close by with a listening ear, friendly word or reassuring hand.
Our residents also take peace and pleasure from the use of our fabulous gardens, where we encourage time with nature in whichever ways are possible for the individual.
I am responsible for the residents and the staff at The Meadows.
We provide EMD care, meaning we care for people with dementia on a residential basis. I make sure that everything runs to plan every day and that our residents are able to live as independently as possible in a safe environment.
I view our home as creating a family for our residents while they are with us.
I am responsible for the oversight of all employees, residents and those visiting our home.
I’m proud to work at such a homely and community-based home in Hest Bank, where we can engage with local communities and use our local environment to make the best experience for our residents.
I arrange and carry out all training for employees here at the Sands Care Group.
I view my role as setting high standards within the homes and ensuring that they can be maintained, whether that is through softer skill such as kindness and compassion to specific courses in areas such as mental capacity or manual handling.
I love my job as it enables me to make a difference every day.
