Val and David Jefferies run Standon House the way a care home should be run. With heart. Families tell us the warmth hits them the moment they walk through the door. That's not an accident.
We're in Tamworth, Staffordshire, and we've built something different here. A place where residents say it feels like being at home, just with friends around. We offer residential care, dementia care, respite stays, and palliative care. Our activities coordinator Lauren runs music therapy sessions that get people engaged again. The gardens are a big part of life here — residents spend real time outside.
We're family-owned, and that shows. Staff treat residents like family because that's the culture Val and David have built.
Day-to-day support in a comfortable setting. Help when you need it, space when you don't.
Specialist support from staff trained to understand dementia. A calm, familiar environment.
Short stays to give family carers a break. All the support, no long-term commitment.
Compassionate end-of-life care focused on comfort, dignity, and family support.
