About Sandsground
Sandsground provides residential and supported living services for adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and associated needs. Support is shaped around each person’s preferred way of living, whether that means sharing with others, living more independently or choosing a quieter setting.
The service is part of Choice Care, whose support pathways cover specialist care settings and supported living. Its approach focuses on helping people feel at home, build confidence and pursue a life that reflects their choices. Support is shaped around the life each person wants to lead, rather than being limited to a standard accommodation model.

Questions families ask
How much does Sandsground cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Sandsground for its weekly fee. As a guide, Swindon council paid on average £999 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Sandsground whether it takes residents funded by Swindon council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
