About Sandy Banks Care Home

Sandy Banks Care Home is a nursing home in Leyland, Lancashire. We care for adults who need registered nursing alongside help with daily living, including older people, people living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions and younger adults whose health needs call for a nurse on hand at any hour. Nursing cover around the clock is what allows us to support people whose needs are genuinely complex. It means medication, skin and pressure care, continence and nutrition are managed properly, and that health is watched closely enough for changes to be picked up early. Where somebody is approaching the end of their life, it means they can stay somewhere familiar with people who know them. Clinical care is only part of what a good home does. It is easy for a nursing home to become a place where everything happens to people and nothing is chosen by them, and we work against that. Residents decide when they get up, what they eat, whether they join in and who visits. For people living with dementia we keep the day in a familiar order and the staff group as steady as we can, and we take time to learn about a person's earlier life. Respite and short stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring to arrange a visit.
