About Sandstones
Sandstones supports older people through residential care, including specialist services for dementia and physical disability. The home is part of Anchor’s care network and offers daily assistance, activities and opportunities to maintain links with family and the local area.
Families can arrange an in-person or virtual show round before a pre-assessment checks whether the home can meet the resident’s needs. Sandstones also accepts short breaks and respite stays alongside permanent care. Its approach brings together support with daily routines, wellbeing, catering and social activity, while virtual show rounds help families view the home when an in-person visit is difficult.
