About Sands Lodge
Adults with learning disabilities or mental health needs receive residential support at Sands Lodge, part of RG Care. The group promotes choice, independence and practical skills while adapting staffing to each person’s funded support needs.
Residents are supported to participate in everyday life, including community activities, shopping and cooking. Families can remain involved in care, while RG Care uses digital care records that allow staff to record care in real time and relatives to access notes through a gateway portal. These arrangements give the service a practical focus on communication, autonomy and participation in daily life, with support built around individual behavioural and health needs.
