Company Overview
Our directors have more than 50 years’ combined experience working in the care sector. They have pooled their knowledge, expertise and passion for the sector to create the Sandstone Care Group. Supported by high quality staff and a fantastic management team, they have a proven track record in successfully developing and running care homes. Having spent many years operating and managing care homes throughout the UK on behalf of others through our management company Caresolve, we are excited and privileged to have the opportunity to utilise the vast experience we have gained to operate our own homes, as the Sandstone Care Group. Our vision is to rapidly develop a fantastic, unrivalled reputation for delivering exceptional standards of care. In 2020, we opened the Oaks Care Home, a purpose-built, 73-bed luxury nursing and residential home in Newtown, Powys. We then added three existing care homes – St Helens Hall & Lodge, Longridge Hall & Lodge and Fleetwood Hall – to our portfolio of homes. We welcomed a second new care home in Merseyside to the Group in 2021. Oak Springs Care Home in Wavertree, Liverpool, offers a mix of residential, dementia and early onset dementia care across three floors. Our newest purpose-built luxury care home is Ribble Court Care Home in Much Hoole, near Preston. Our high quality and purpose built home offers a mix of luxury residential care and specialist/complex nursing care.
At Oak Springs, a luxury, purpose-built residential care facility, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest standards of residential, respite, and dementia care. Our 74-bed home, spread across three floors, offers residents access to music rooms, a beauty salon, and tranquil lounges and courtyards. We are committed to promoting sensory enrichment, celebrating individuality, and enhancing quality of life.
