About Sandylee House

Here at Sandylee House, we offer residential care for adults in the heart of Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, and we take real pride in the community we have built together with the people who live here. We support younger adults living with a learning disability, autism, or a physical disability, and we also offer respite care for those who need a short break or a period of additional support. Whether someone comes to us for a longer stay or a temporary one, we want them to feel genuinely at home from the moment they arrive. Our approach is straightforward. We get to know each person properly, understanding what matters to them, how they like to spend their time, and what support looks like on their terms. No two people are the same, and we do not treat them as though they are. Care plans are built around the individual, and we review them regularly to make sure they continue to reflect the person's changing needs and wishes. We believe that good care is built on honest relationships, consistency, and mutual respect. The people who live here are not passive recipients of care; they are active participants in their own lives, and our role is to support that as fully as we can. Family members and loved ones are always welcome, and we work hard to keep those connections strong. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of good, which reflects the commitment of everyone who works here and the standards we hold ourselves to day to day. If you are considering Sandylee House for yourself or someone close to you, we would warmly encourage you to get in touch or come and visit. We are always happy to talk things through and answer any questions you might have.
