Care and support

All residents are encouraged to live as independently as possible and the design of our purpose-built or adapted properties foster an independent lifestyle, with added peace of mind there is someone onsite 24 hours a day.

Onsite care teams provide a range of flexible and personalised care and support. At most services, residents receive a daily wellbeing check, and pull cord alarms with emergency support is part of the package.

Onsite care

In some properties, our own Sanctuary Retirement Living care team can provide you with care and support, and in other properties, there is a local authority chosen care provider in place. Visit our property pages to find out who the care provider is at your local service.

Sanctuary Retirement Living is dedicated to ensuring residents’ health and wellbeing is promoted and to minimise any social isolation or loneliness among residents, whether we provide the care or someone else does. Read about how we are doing this through our Your Home Your Life initiate including our state-of-the-art lifting chairs and Please Disturb signs.

As part of our application process, we will assess your care needs to make sure Sanctuary Retirement Living is suitable for you. We also have strong links with local doctors, dentists, hospitals and social workers, to ensure you receive the best possible care and support.

Personal care

If you are assessed as needing some level of personal care and support, the onsite care provider will create a person-centred care plan which will be tailor-made to you and take into account your likes and dislikes, the emotional and social side of your life, your skills and abilities, religious, cultural and leisure preferences, and much more. You’ll review the plan with the care provider on a regular basis and you can involve your family and friends as well. Some of the personal care and domestic services you can receive include:

Technology

Assistive or telecare technology provides peace of mind while you’re still living independently.

As part of the sign-up process, you’ll receive a pendant or wrist alarm depending on your preference, providing you and your family with the reassurance that help is at hand if you need it and that you’re never on your own. Apartments in all our properties are fitted with a pull cord alarm system in each room, just in case you’re not wearing your pendant or wrist alarm. 

You can install additional technology if you like, which can be provided by Sanctuary365.
