Swan House Care Home is very welcoming. The staff are so lovely and caring, which has made my mum settle in really quickly. On arrival at Swan House, we were all a little anxious for Mum, but after meeting and talking to staff and seeing how they are with her has made us very happy. Your staff are a
credit to your care home - smiles all-round.

Staff at this care home are so friendly to both residents and visitors. My father was admitted to the care home last year for end-of-life care, and he's still here, which speaks volumes about how well the residents have looked after. There's plenty for residents to do if they want; my father doesn't
participate much in activities, but that's his choice; he prefers his own company. The care home has certainly given peace of mind to both myself and my sister.

The home is always clean, and the staff very friendly, must say even the food and cakes are very good.
During the whole Covid pandemic, the staff have gone above and beyond to keep everyone safe.
I have to say the activities that the home put on are excellent, most of the residents join in and always
lots going on singing, arts and crafts, spa days and pampering sessions.

Staff seem to generally care and are helpful and seem to be happy and smile a lot, which in turn, helps the patients they are caring for. Security is very hood and helps to keep out Covid. My opinion is it is a well-run care home.

My husband has been a resident at Swan House for almost four years.
In all the time he has been there, he has always been treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The staff are so caring towards both him and myself and are like a second family.
I have told friends about the care, and quite a
few people I know have been cared for both in the past and the present.
I would willingly recommend Swan House without hesitation.

I have had my mother living with me for the past ten years. Her general health declined over the preceding two years. Finally, after a fall when she broke her right wrist, it was obvious I could no longer take care of her. She was admitted into Swan House in May; her care has been first class. All of
the staff are very friendly, kind and always willing to help.

The staff have taken very good care of my mum over this very difficult time. It was lovely to see her hair being done and even her nails varnished, and also, entertainment in the lounge, bingo, exercises etc. Really great that her room has been decorated, thank you.

My father was placed at Swan House following discharge from the hospital. He was made to feel welcome and is treated with great care and understanding. He is very old and at the end of his days. I am confident that he will be properly cared for to the end. The staff care charming, considerate and welcoming.

My father was resident in Swan House from March 2020 until December 27th when he sadly passed away. He was well looked after, always well presented, and I was always grateful for the extra effort it must have taken to transport him outside of his room for visits. During his time at the home and especially
on his last day, the kindness, support and hospitality given to me were excellent. Through these difficult months, all the staff have been very professional and caring throughout. I, too, would not hesitate to recommend the Home to anyone who needed support later in life or with palliative care. Sincere thanks to all.

Reply from Olivia Shields, Marketing Assistant at Swan House Care Home

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.
