About Us

We at Standon House offer a warm and welcoming residential care home in Tamworth, providing dedicated older person care, dementia support, and respite stays for families across Staffordshire and the wider West Midlands.

Nestled within the Tamworth community, our home benefits from its setting in a familiar and accessible part of Staffordshire, allowing residents to remain close to the people and places they know best. The surroundings offer a calm, homely atmosphere where residents can feel settled, comfortable, and part of daily life. Loved ones can visit with ease, and our location supports the kind of continuity and connection that matters so much when moving into residential care.

Our care is centred on the needs of older people, including those living with dementia. For residents, this means thoughtful daily support delivered with patience, dignity, and understanding. Our team works to create gentle routines, familiar surroundings, and meaningful moments that help each person feel secure and valued. For families navigating the emotional journey of dementia, we aim to be a steady source of reassurance, keeping you informed and involved every step of the way.

We also welcome residents for respite care, offering short term stays that provide a restful break for family carers or a period of recovery and companionship for the individual. Whether respite is planned in advance or needed at short notice, we approach every stay with the same warmth and personalised attention as long term residency.

Following its most recent inspection in October 2022, Standon House received an overall CQC rating of Requires Improvement. We are proud that inspectors recognised our home as Good in both the Caring and Responsive domains, reflecting the genuine compassion of our team and the way we listen and respond to residents as individuals. We acknowledge that other areas, including Safe, Effective, and Well led, were identified as needing improvement, and we take this feedback seriously as a foundation for ongoing development and stronger outcomes for those in our care.

Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are considering residential, dementia, or respite care in the Tamworth area, we warmly invite you to get in touch with Standon House to learn more about how we can support your loved one with kindness, respect, and person centred care.
