Types of care we offer
We provide four core types of care, each delivered by a dedicated team and tailored to different needs. Whether you're looking for light day-to-day support or specialist nursing and dementia care, our team is here to help residents feel safe, comfortable and cared for.
Residential Care
Our residential care on our Keswick floor is designed for those who are able to continue some level of independent living, but with the security and companionship of on-site staff.Personal care needs are taken care of by our qualified carer and 24-hour support is on hand to help with daily life.
Comfortable shared spaces such as our lounge and dining room are available to use freely, with daily activities taking place and Thursday our special activity day where you will find karaoke, bingo and even the odd tipple!
Nursing Care
Our nursing care includes round-the-clock support for residents by a team of Clinical Leads, Matron, Registered Nurses and the support of professional care assistants. You can rest assured that all medical needs are taken care of, including drug administration and daily checks.
This unit ensures first and foremost that those living with us are safe and well, leaving our care team to provide daily stimulation through use of our shared living spaces, communal gardens and activity programme.
Personal choice is always respected here at The Sands, and residents are free to participate as much or as little as they would like.
Dementia Care (EMI)
Our Derwent unit provides crucial specialist care to those living with dementia or conditions that impact mental capacity. With the utmost of dignity and respect, we ensure our residents here are able to live as individually as possible but within the boundaries of safe care.
We offer specialist activities such as our “magic table” – an interactive light display designed specifically for those with dementia to interact with – and enjoy offering our residents to access our bright and airy shared spaces, where we regularly hold special events created specifically for those living with dementia.
