About Sandbeck House Residential Home

Sandbeck House Residential Home sits in the county of Lincolnshire, offering families a familiar and caring place to turn to when a loved one needs residential support. The team there understands how much it means to find somewhere that feels right, and they work to make sure residents feel at home from the very first day. It is the kind of place where people matter, and where families can feel confident their loved ones are in thoughtful hands.

Sandbeck House provides accommodation and care for up to 38 people, including older people and those living with dementia. At the time of inspection, 21 people were resident. The home's new manager, in post for four months, has implemented systematic improvements with support from the registered manager, and staff are supportive of the changes being made.

All five previous regulatory breaches have been addressed.

Staff demonstrate kindness and care, with good awareness of promoting residents' dignity, privacy and independence. People receive quality food and drink tailored to individual preferences, and the care planning system is effective. However, further improvements are needed to provide more stimulation and occupation for residents, and to ensure staff consistently apply their training and maintain person-centred approaches across all interactions.
