The Sands Meadows is a specialist dementia care home nestled in the leafy village of Hest Bank, just outside Lancaster. Surrounded by peaceful gardens, we provide thoughtful, person-centred care in a homely, secure environment.
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.
Our care staff receive dedicated dementia training to provide sensitive, responsive support around the clock.
Purpose-designed spaces reduce confusion, support routine, and create a sense of comfort and control.
We involve families in care planning and provide regular updates—building trust and reassurance from day one.
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.
