Introduction
Sandringham is a purpose-built 92-bed care home located in the heart of Bishop Auckland, Durham, providing care for residents with a variety of physical and mental health needs. The home is spread over three floors, each with its own dedicated staff, including registered nurses, senior care staff, and experienced caregivers.
Our three activity coordinators offer a range of activities, from hand and nail massages to personalised one-on-one sessions for residents unable to join group activities. These private sessions may include listening to music, reading, or reminiscing over photographs. We also offer animal therapy, featuring visits from dogs, miniature ponies, and more. Outings to the local church, railway museum, beach, and parks are regularly organised, and residents enjoy visits from singers, dancers, and an annual Summer and Christmas fete with a memorable elves parade.
Monthly film nights bring residents together for a classic movie, accompanied by snacks and drinks. Residents also participate in monthly meetings with the home manager to discuss concerns, ideas, and suggestions for improvements, from menu changes to activity planning.
Sandringham encourages 24-hour visits from families, friends, and even pets, fostering a true “home away from home” atmosphere. Our ground-floor “Grandma June’s” tea room is available for high teas, birthdays, or simply a relaxing tea and cake.
The care home is run by a team that includes a home manager, deputy manager, assistant manager, and a front-of-house administration team, along with nurses, care staff, maintenance, housekeeping, and kitchen teams. We welcome feedback through annual surveys, and a resident representative helps bridge communication between residents and staff, ensuring all concerns and suggestions are addressed.
