Types of homes
The Sands offers a choice of two bedroom, or two-bedroom with a flexible third room apartments, many with stunning sea views. Whether you like to entertain, or simply enjoy your own space, you’ll love the flexibility and open-plan living at The Sands. Every apartment is as functional as it is beautiful – with quality fittings that add that touch of luxury, as well as generous rooms and storage space. Relish the peace and comfort all year round with mod-cons including double glazing, heat pump, heated towel rails and a high level of sound proofing between apartments.
Care Suites provide both Rest Home and Hospital level care, which means you can relax knowing you won’t have the upheaval of moving again if your needs increase. Choose from either a studio Care Suite with an open-plan bedroom and lounge, or a one-bedroom Care Suite with a separate bedroom and living area. Some Care Suites are large enough to accommodate couples, so you can be together – even if one of you requires Hospital level care.
All Care Suites have a heat pump and full en-suite bathroom, as well as a kitchenette with a fridge and a kettle – perfect for making a cuppa when friends and family come to visit. We also have options with private balconies and/or patios.
You own the right to occupy your Care Suite, so you can personalise it with your favourite furniture and treasured pieces. A DHB assessment is not required for care that is paid for privately.
