Sandmere Care Home is a private, luxury care home located in the vibrant seaside town of Margate. Specialising in Dementia Care as well as offering Residential, Nursing, and Respite Care, our beautifully designed home provides exceptional support and accommodation for up to 68 residents in need of expert or elderly care.
Dementia is a progressive condition that affects memory, thinking, and reasoning over time. In the earlier stages, individuals might struggle with everyday tasks such as keeping appointments or finding misplaced belongings. As the condition advances, daily routines can become increasingly difficult to manage without help, and many people eventually benefit from ongoing or full-time dementia support. The care required can vary greatly depending on the type and stage of dementia. Some individuals may thrive in a residential dementia care setting, while others with more complex needs might be better suited to a nursing environment. Both types of care provide structured, supportive surroundings with staff trained to care for people living with dementia.
At Sandmere Care Home in Margate, we take pride in offering high-quality dementia care provided by experienced, compassionate professionals. Our dedicated team understands the challenges faced by those living with dementia and is trained to deliver personalised support tailored to individual needs. With 24-hour care available, residents can feel safe and well-supported, while their families enjoy peace of mind. Each resident benefits from their own fully furnished en-suite room, which we encourage them to personalise with familiar items to create a calming and homely environment.
Our home has been thoughtfully designed to support those living with dementia, with careful attention paid to layout, lighting, and materials to help reduce confusion and promote independence. Beyond care, we place great emphasis on wellbeing – our private gardens, cinema room, and inviting communal spaces are all there to be enjoyed. Our Activities Team also runs a dementia-friendly programme, helping residents stay active and connected through stimulating, inclusive sessions tailored to different abilities.
The relationships we build with residents and their families are at the heart of Sandmere. We’re delighted to share their feedback and the experiences that show what life is really like within our care home.
We’re here to answer any questions and help you feel confident in your next steps.
We believe that living well with dementia means staying active, connected, and engaged. Within the home, residents can enjoy arts and crafts, in-house entertainment, and pampering sessions in our hair salon and beauty room. When it’s time to venture out, our residents often enjoy strolls by the sea, relaxing in our private garden, or exploring places that offer comfort and stimulation, like Dreamland amusement park, The WonderWorks model museum, or even catching a show at the local theatre. For those who enjoy quieter, reflective activities, Margate Caves and the town’s rich heritage sites provide peaceful outings with plenty of interest. Whether residents want to explore with loved ones or enjoy the sea breeze on a gentle walk, there’s always something rewarding to do in and around Margate.

At Sandmere, we focus on creating a familiar and reassuring environment rather than making care feel clinical.

Our team also gets to know each resident personally, helping everyday life feel familiar and meaningful.
Absolutely, families play an important part in helping our team understand the person behind the diagnosis.

Staying involved also helps families feel connected and reassured as their loved one settles into life at Sandmere.
