Sweetcroft is more like a "Home from Home" rather than a care home. The staff are attentive to individual needs and there is always a family feel in the home. Since the home has been taken over by the new owners, the home has improved immensely from staffing to decoration and renovations.

Reply from Jennifer Somauroo, Director at Sweetcroft Care Home

Thank you, Dawn, for writing such a nice review of Sweetcroft. Your words are greatly appreciated by the whole team and we are delighted to hear that you are happy with the care that your mother receives. We will continue to strive for outstanding in all that we do for our wonderful residents. Best wishes to you and your family.

My nan has been at Sweetcroft for 3 years now and I couldn't praise the home enough, even more so since the new management have been in place. The care she now receives is second to none and it gives our family great peace of mind knowing how well looked after she is. The home is very family orientated
and this is reflected in the relationships between staff and residents.

Reply from Jennifer Somauroo, Director at Sweetcroft Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. We really hope to see dramatic improvements in the home over the next 6 months, but it is so nice to see the hard work acknowledged. We have a fantastic team and it is lovely for their hard work and dedication to be recognised.

The staff are caring and attentive. Mum feels safe and content and the staff keep her social skills intact as they spend time chatting and listening to her stories.
The staff feel like family members. Many improvements happening in the home at present so we are looking forward to seeing the finished
product. I would recommend highly purely on the care mum receives and the communication with the staff.

Reply from Jennifer Somauroo, Director at Sweetcroft Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind review. As new owners we are striving to improve the home continuously and we appreciate that it will take some time to reach the standards we expect. We have great staff and together with them we aim to make Sweetcroft a champion for dementia and elderly care. We also really appreciate these reviews, as it acknowledges the hard work of our valued team. Many thanks.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Sweetcroft Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.956 for Sweetcroft Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.956

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sweetcroft Care Home is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
