The Sandstone Care Group has acquired Burscough Manor Care Home in Burscough, Lancashire.

The 80-bed home, which offer luxury residential and specialist/complex nursing care, joins Sandstone’s seven other homes in in Lancashire, Merseyside, Powys, Wales and Shropshire.

James Parkin, director and co-founder of Sandstone Care Group, which is based in Birchwood Park, Warrington, said: “We’re delighted to have opened our fourth home in Lancashire and our eighth in the group.

“Burscough Manor is a lovely new build property with some great facilities and we have a brilliant team of people in place to offer the highest standards of care to our residents.

“Our growing portfolio of care homes provide a range of residential, nursing and dementia care services within modern, vibrant communities. As ever, our focus is on providing the best person-centred care for our residents in a loving and welcoming environment.”

The home’s registered manager Samantha Smith said: “We’re looking forward to meeting all the residents and their families over the coming weeks and to becoming a key part of the local community.

“We’ll also be holding an Open Day on Wednesday, 31 May from 10.30am to 3pm so people can pop in and meet our friendly team and have a look around our facilities.” 

As part of the investment in the care home, a number of new jobs are due to be created including nurses, care assistants and care practitioners.
