About
St Stephens Care Home is a 40-bed home in the village of Elworth, Sandbach, Cheshire, providing residential and nursing care for older people and people living with dementia. The home has a dedicated dementia service, with furnishings and lighting chosen to suit residents' needs, and it has dementia-friendly gardens and a sensory garden where residents can spend time outdoors with family and friends. Indoor spaces include an activities room, a lounge and a large conservatory, along with a bar area called The Mason Arms.
Activities are built around each resident's interests and life story, and include arts and crafts, reminiscence sessions, quiz and games nights, sing-alongs and outings in the local community. Mealtimes are unhurried and social, and the home marks birthdays and festivals such as Burns Night and Mother's Day. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2025 report, with Good in each of the five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
