My father was admitted on 25th March 2020 as he needed 24hr nursing care. I was only able to visit him three times during the year due to the virus as he was bedridden 24/7 and his bedroom was on the 1st floor. During these nine months until he sadly passed away on Dec 27th, the care he received was
second to none. All of the staff and nurses were very kind, caring and professional. In the last few days before my father's death, all of the staff treated me with dignity, respect and were very caring. This same dignity, respect and care was given to my father throughout his whole stay and especially in the last few hours. I would strongly advise anyone considering care for a loved one to not hesitate in contacting Swan House.

Following a fall at her former Assisted Living accommodation, Mum had to spend two weeks in hospital and a further three weeks in a Rehabilitation centre.
We realised that she now needed a 24/7 care facility .... we were so relieved and happy to find that Swan House had a vacancy.
Although Mum is
now very frail at 90 years old, the carers at Swan House have encouraged her to socialise a little. She now enjoys occasional bingo and quiz morning sessions!
Mum has a lovely room with windows overlooking the garden and although we haven’t visited as yet, we have been able to FaceTime her. She seems happy and enjoys her food too.
We couldn’t have asked for more from the team of carers day and night.
The manager is very approachable, professional, resilient and down-to-earth .... the welfare of her residents is certainly a priority.
Thank you so much Swan House for relieving us of a great deal of worry.

We are happy that the level of care that my husband is receiving is giving the family peace of mind that he is being well looked after and is safe. It has been much appreciated that visiting has been available during these extreme conditions so we can see each other. This is the first time we have been
apart in our 60 years of marriage.

Swan House was everything a care home should be. The care that you gave our dad was exemplary and it was a 'home' in the true sense of the word. Choosing a care home for a relative is one of the hardest decisions one can ever make and we're so glad we chose Swan House. We'd like to thank the wonderful
staff for their care and compassion and will be forever grateful.

I cannot thank all the staff for the care and attention they give my mum.
The new manager is doing a sterling job and has a great team.
My mother's health is declining but the dignity that is given to her is a great comfort.

I can't put into words how much I'd like to thank Swan House for looking after my dad so well. It gives our family peace of mind knowing that you're there for him. He looks so much healthier since he came here and I know that he's happy. Thank you to all of you.

At the time of entry, my father had suffered a number of long-term hospital stays which had caused a general decline in his muscle strength and possibly caused an element of depression due to his declined state. The massive improvement in his short stay before his sudden death is solely due to the provision
and staff involvement in Swan House. To die "with his boots on" in his hometown was an appropriate end to a long life.

My father has been in Swan House since January 2018. His care needs have been met and at all times carers have been polite and friendly. Whenever I have had any queries, the admin staff/manager are always happy to assist and solve any issues. The activities lady and her volunteer are excellent and a
real asset to Swan House. Without them, it wouldn't be the same there. They really care for the residents and should be backed up all the way.

My father-in-law has been in Swan House since January 2018. I always feel welcome at Swan House. All staff from the manager down to the cleaning staff treat you politely and are always very friendly. I am always amazed by the activities lady and her volunteer, who arrange so much for the residents so
they are not stuck in their rooms all day. And the way they treat the residents is lovely; with dignity and care, they love them all - WELL DONE!!

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.
