Care Homes Owned by Sandstone Care Group in Lancashire

overall, the care has been good and the staff have been kind. However we were very disappointed that a new bottle of expensive perfume went missing from my mothers room we reported it but unfortunately it was not recovered. we hope the home reviews its procedures to help prevent residents belongings from going missing in the future.

Eveything in care home is fine. I enjoy the food and kitchen manager is looking after residents and visitors. Carers are lovely and supportive. I am enjoying my stay at Ribble Court. I like receptionist Suzanne too.

We are delighted with the way in which my dad has settled into the care home. He looks well looked after & seems content most of the time, we know he takes part in some of the activities which he enjoys. Staff seem pleasant & attentive. We really really hope he will be able to stay here at Ribble Court in the pleasant enviroment which seems appropriate for his condition & well being. Thank you!

My mother-in-law has been in this care home for several years and each member of staff go above and beyond to make her stay as peaceful, happy and comfortable as possible. All the food is prepared specific to her needs and personal care in every aspect has always been handled very well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the care home to friends and family. Everyone deserves a pat on the back for thier commitment to the tasks in hand. Thankyou so much everyone.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Longridge Hall to care for your elderly relative.

The home is very welcoming and the staff are really attentive, my mum also tells me how she has enjoyed the activities that they put on for the residents.

A blonde carer said chiropodists only clip toenail!! Thats the first I've heard that! So if carer can clip fingernails why can they not clip toenails. Blonde carer said she doesn't know why mums fingernails are dirty and not been clipped in 3 weeks and proceeded to look for scissors then got Jackie who made up excuses and would NOT clip mums fingernails while I was there and walked away to paint nail varnish on someone else! This is neglect

Our lovely mum received the best care and attention from all the staff at Ribble Court. Everyone is so friendly and caring. Mum was treated with love and respect at all times, which gave her family peace of mind. Mum was happy here. Thank you to all at Ribble Court.

I would like to thank the Carers and Activities coordinators for the care and support they are giving my Mum. I enjoy seeing my Mum looking well and enjoying her social activities on social media, as I do not live close by. The management team keep me informed and up-to-date with my Mum's wellbeing. Thank you.

Ribble Court staff were all very caring, respectful, friendly and professional towards our family member resident. As well as towards myself and other members of family who visited. There were quiet areas and a communal area for visitors, as required and for me personally. The coffee bar and endless supply of biscuits (not to mention bakes made by the kitchen staff leader and team) were a godsend. Confidentiality when speaking openly in friendly chat and requests for help or advice was respected. And overall, it was our family member resident home and ours too! ,

I cannot fault the excellent care my mum has received over the 8 years she has been a resident . The management team are very professional, friendly and welcoming . My mum couldn't be in safer , kinder hands . The rest of the family sleep easy at night knowing she's getting the best care possible . She's not just a resident to the staff , she's part of the family .

My wife has recently moved into Longridge Hall Care home. All the staff provide exceptional care in a warm and friendly environment. The home has nice rooms with good facilities in a modern setting. I have peace of mind knowing my wife is being looked after so well.

Longridge Hall provides first class care to their residents. The compassion, understanding and level of care that each member of staff have shown to my dad since he became a resident is quite frankly superb. This extends to the warm welcome that my mum receives each day when she visits my dad. Thanks to the staff and the level of care provided, we as a family feel that my dad is being extremely well looked after and this has helped my mum so much at this very difficult time. Every aspect of the daily care provided is superb.

Lovely home, staff are very friendly and caring , the food is always good and the activities are engaging and enjoyable. The cleaners and laundry staff do a great job, no complaints whatsoever we as a family couldn't be happier.

I'd appreciate a knock on the door before entering.

This is a good residential place in a lovely setting. Rooms are nice and plenty of regular activities. Staff are lovely and very helpful throughout the time my mum was there. On the downside there were safeguarding concerns which I did not expect in such a place. There was also no indication upon taking the place as to what the position would be when mum transferred to local authority funding. If a relative is to be expected to pay such a high top up fee (£700 per week) this should be made clear from the start. Had this been made clear to me, I would have chosen another placement. As it was, she had the stress of having to move from Ribble Court to another placement where the top up fee was waived.

My mother was transferred from hospital on December 24th 2025. On December 22nd 2025 my sister and myself viewed Ribble Court. First impressions count and we were highly impressed from the moment we viewed Ribble Court has high standard. Professional staff, courteous and approachable. Highly impressed with the care demonstrated to our mother knowing she is in safe hands, comfortable and safe. Thank you so much.

When she was able to enjoy trips out there was plenty on offer, and there are regularly visitors to the home who engage the residents with a variety of activities in addition to the in house ones. I like the social media updates and the fact that visitors can call when it suits for the most part. Staff are quick to answer queries and questions and have kept family members up to date. I would, and do, recommend this home to others for spacious environment, facilities and overall care.

My dear friend/partner has been a resident sinceFeb.2025. He has been shown nothing but kindness, respect, care and dignity. Following a tricky settling-in period he now seems much more focussed and is a very popular resident.

When my Dad was transferred to the care home from hospital, his health had deteriorated to a point he did not have the strength to lift himself out of a chair or bed, walk unaided, had lost a huge amount of weight in a short period of time and he was falling multiple times a day. He moved into Fleetwood Hall on Christmas Eve 2025 and as I wrote this review on 1 February 2026 he has improved beyond measure. He is up and about, smiling, doing his puzzles again which he had lost a love for, he has gained weight and has a love for eating again. He is in such good spirits and has nothing but good things to say about the staff and care he receives every day. Because of this home, Dad has a lease of life again. Our family and myself are so grateful for everything you have done for him. We can not say thank you enough. If you are looking for somewhere to place a loved one who needs extra care I would recommend this home a 1000 times over. Our Dad's improvement is immeasurable. Thank you.
