About St Stephens Care Home
St Stephens Care Home is a nursing home in Sandbach, Cheshire. We care for older people whose health needs go beyond residential care, and for younger adults living with conditions that require qualified nursing. Respite stays are available when a family carer needs a break or cover. Registered nurses are on duty here at every hour. Medication is managed carefully, wound care, catheter care and conditions that vary from week to week are handled on site, and a change in a resident's health tends to be noticed early because the person who notices knows them well. We work closely with GPs, district nurses, therapists and hospital teams, and we follow matters up on a resident's behalf when they are slow to move. Dementia care sits alongside the clinical side of our work, and the two are not really separable. Somebody frightened or in pain who cannot say so will show us in other ways, and reading that correctly depends on knowing the person. So we ask families about working lives, music, food and old habits, and we keep the day calm and familiar rather than busy and full of surprises. We are also keen that families stay properly involved rather than politely informed. Relatives know things about a person that no assessment will ever capture, and we would rather ask than guess. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable hour. Ring us if you would like to look round.
