About Keer Sands Residential Home
Keer Sands Residential Home is a care home in Carnforth, Lancashire, providing residential care for older people, along with shorter respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We raise it early because it says something about how the home is run rather than about any single thing we do. Staff who stay for years, so that people are looked after by faces they know well. Days that belong to the person living them. Meals that people actually want to eat. Families who are treated as part of the household and who feel able to say when something is not right. The care itself is the ordinary sort, done carefully: help with washing and dressing, prompting and administering medication, meals cooked on the premises, support with mobility, and somebody always about when a person wants company or reassurance. Carnforth and the country around it matter to the people who live here, many of whom have spent their lives locally, and we keep those connections going with trips out, visitors and a good deal of flexibility about when family can come. Respite stays can cover a holiday or a spell of recovery after illness. Please ring us if you would like to visit.
