After visiting my cousin in the hospital where he spent 12 weeks I was sad to see his usual happy personality had gone. I have visited him 4 times in the past 6 weeks at Swan House and his persona has changed 100%. The staff are very helpful and attentive and he has nothing but praise for them. He is
very happy at Swan House and cannot praise the food enough. Overall the cleanliness, the staff and the food are excellent. Thank you for keeping him happy and comfortable.

Dad moved into Swan House in February this year. I feel he has settled really well and this is down to the committed staff. Whenever I visit all of the staff are welcoming and friendly and when I leave Swan House I know that my dad will be safe and well cared for. The food provided is excellent and
all dietary requirements are catered for. I feel my dad is treated with respect and dignity. The entertainment and activities are fun too.

Swan House is a very nice home, my mum has been here for a couple of years. The staff are wonderful and very kind and helpful and treat the residents with respect and dignity at all times. From what I can see on my visits, the food is very good and fresh and the cleanliness is brilliant. The decor needs
to be updated but I understand this is to come now it is under new management, I personally am happy.

Mum was in Swan House for almost three years and enjoyed her time there.
Recently she was very poorly, but in her last days was treated very caringly and compassionately. We could not have asked for anything better. All the staff were very considerate and were also very mindful of visitors. She was
always treated with dignity and respect. I only have good things to say. Great entertainment and activities too.

My mother recently passed away in Swan House, where she had been a resident for 9 1/2 weeks.
I cannot praise the staff and management enough. My mother experienced a difficult time during her stay due to her deteriorating health, and I felt reassured and very grateful for the support and care she
received throughout. The care staff were wonderful, and nothing was too much trouble. The nursing staff were also amazing and were very open and transparent with me about all aspects of my mum's ongoing care and health needs.
I consider losing my mum the hardest experience, and I was so grateful she was at Swan House, where they not only gave her the best care but consistently supported me.

My father moved into Swan House a few months ago and has settled in very well. The staff and management team have made him feel very safe and welcome and provide an impressive and reassuring level of care. It's never easy when a parent moves into a care home, but the team at Swan House have been very
helpful and supportive.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.747)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.747) out of 10 for Swan House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.747 for Swan House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 225 Ratings = 4.747

  • 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 Swan House Care Home is based on 19 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 19 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.
