About Sandiway Lodge Nursing Home
Sandiway Lodge Nursing Home is in Northwich, Cheshire. Qualified nurses are on duty here at every hour of the day and night, and that is what allows us to support people whose needs a residential home could not safely meet. We care for older adults needing nursing care, and for adults with a physical disability who need daily help with moving, positioning and comfort. We also support people with a learning disability and autistic people whose health needs require nursing, which is a combination that a good many homes find difficult to hold. Where somebody takes in information differently, we slow down, explain before we act, and check rather than assume, and we do not let the clinical side of the work become an excuse for talking over a person's head. The nursing is thorough and unhurried. Medicines, wounds, pain, pressure care, and eating and drinking well. The harder part is noticing early when somebody is not themselves, and that rests on continuity of staff. Respite admissions are available where the clinical need rules out a residential stay, which gives a family carer a genuine rest rather than an anxious fortnight. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to visit without an appointment and see the home on a normal day.
