Overview
Welcome to Sands Meadows – A Safe, Caring Home for Your Loved One
At Sands Meadows, we understand that choosing the right care setting for a loved one living with dementia is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. Located in the peaceful village of Hest Bank, just outside Lancaster and Morecambe, our residential dementia care home is designed to provide a warm, secure, and homely environment where individuals can live with dignity, comfort, and support.
We can accommodate up to 23 residents, offering a more intimate and personalised approach to care. Each of our residents is treated as an individual, with care plans tailored to their specific needs, preferences, and abilities. Whether they are in the early stages of dementia or further along in their journey, our compassionate and experienced team is dedicated to ensuring every person enjoys the highest quality of life possible.
Why Choose Sands Meadows?
A Trusted Care Provider: We are proud to hold a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care. Our team works tirelessly to create a safe, nurturing environment where residents feel at home and supported every day.
Homely and Comfortable Setting: Our home offers a comfortable, spacious environment, with thoughtfully designed areas that encourage independence, while also providing the support needed to ensure residents’ safety and well-being. We offer a range of communal areas where residents can socialise, relax, or enjoy activities with fellow residents and visitors.
Access to Outdoor and Garden Space: At Sands Meadows, we understand the positive impact that outdoor spaces can have on well-being. Our home boasts beautiful outdoor areas and garden spaces, where residents can enjoy the fresh air, relax in a peaceful environment, or take gentle strolls in a safe and secure setting.
Personalised Care: We recognise that each person is unique, and so is their journey with dementia. We work closely with families to develop tailored care plans that promote independence, maintain dignity, and respect personal preferences. Whether through engaging activities, tailored meals, or assistance with daily routines, we ensure each individual receives care that meets their changing needs.
Engaging Activities: Staying active and engaged is essential for everyone, and especially for those living with dementia. We offer a wide range of stimulating activities designed to enhance well-being and provide enjoyment, including arts and crafts, music therapy, reminiscence sessions, and gentle outdoor walks in our lovely garden area. Our team ensures there’s something for everyone, helping to maintain mental and physical health while fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Compassionate and Experienced Team: Our dedicated team of carers are trained in dementia care, with the experience and knowledge to provide the best possible support. We believe in building strong, trusting relationships with our residents and their families, ensuring that both the physical and emotional needs of each individual are met with respect and kindness.
Links with the Local Community: We value the importance of staying connected with the local community. At Sands Meadows, we encourage residents to maintain links with their community, whether through local events, visits, or activities that foster a sense of belonging outside of our home. We actively promote local engagement, helping residents to retain important connections and enjoy the social aspects of their local area.
Family Involvement: We recognise how important it is for families to remain involved in their loved one’s care. We maintain open lines of communication, keeping families updated and involved in care decisions. Regular visits, family meetings, and our open-door policy ensure that families feel supported throughout their loved one’s journey with us.
