About Sandpiper Care Home
Sandpiper Care Home provides residential care and elderly day care in a relaxed setting for people who need support with daily living or social connection. Residential support is shaped around individual wishes and choices, while day care gives older adults company, engagement and a safe environment without requiring an overnight stay.
A needs assessment considers interests, preferences and support requirements, with gradual introductory visits available for people who feel nervous. The home also offers structured dementia day care in a calm setting. Families can discuss attendance options and pricing according to hours, needs and the home attended. Day care can help carers obtain support while their loved one remains connected with others. Day care gives older adults company and engagement.
