Sanctuary Care – we’re about people, not profit
We’re so proud to be not-for-profit – after all its people that matter most – our wonderful residents, their loved ones and of course, our staff.
With 110 care homes across England and Scotland, providing residential, nursing, dementia, palliative and respite care, we’ve been delivering trusted care for over 25 years.
To provide the best care to our 4,600 residents, we are passionate about enriching the lives of our amazing staff, so they are driven to be the very best they can be. With over 7,000 staff, we support their careers to flourish, so they too can thrive.
Enriching lives every day
We believe providing high standards of care should be a given – we look beyond this with our unique Enriching Lives Framework.
We wanted to see what an enriched life meant for our residents, so commissioned independent research. From this we created our bespoke framework, based on the six senses people need to feel truly happy and fulfilled – a sense of achievement, belonging, continuity, purpose, security and significance.
By supporting our residents to fulfil these senses, we can help them to live life to the full through truly person-centred care.
Our residents leading the way
We are passionate about supporting our residents to live life their way. For example, our resident ambassadors get involved in everything from supporting to interview potential staff to providing feedback on everything from the menus to the activities on offer.
With our support one of our residents still coaches children’s rugby, while others run their own activities and grow their own fruit and vegetables, harvesting them for our chefs to use in the kitchens.
Life in our homes – embracing family
We know how hard it can be to make the decision to place your loved one in a care home and we are here for you too. Families and friends are warmly embraced into life in our care homes, so make yourself at home!
We even have relatives who volunteer in our care homes and run their own activities – they are part of the Sanctuary Care family too.
Our achievements
Last summer we were proud to win Outstanding Larger Group Care Provider at the Care Home Awards 2023, an annual benchmark of innovation and excellence in the care sector.
For four years running we’ve been named a Top 20 Large Care Home Group by independent care homes reviews website Carehome.co.uk, based on the glowing reviews left by our residents and their loved ones.
And in recognition of our dedication to our staff, we have Investors in People (IiP) Strong Gold status, an internationally recognised achievement which reflects how organisations care for and nurture their employees.
