I am very impressed with Swan House. The care they give my dad, who has complex needs, is excellent. They treat him with dignity and respect at all times and involve him in his care giving, even though he cannot always communicate effectively. There is documented evidence that staff from activities
and from the care team spend time with him outside of care giving, chatting to him about the family and TV programmes he enjoys, and even helping him to play dominoes.
When we visit, he is always smart and well presented, something that is important to him. During visits, the staff are always very welcoming and find time to talk with us, especially when we have the cat with us, and he is always made very welcome. As someone who works in a care home, I am very happy with the standards and care at Swan House.

On the occasions I have visited my friend, the staff have always been very friendly. Her room is always clean, and, although she had difficulty adjusting to her environment, she is now realising how fortunate she is to be so well cared for.

Reply from Anne Richmond, Home Manager at Swan House Care Home

Many thanks for taking the time to review Swan House - we appreciate all comments and feedback on the service we provide. I’m delighted to see you’d be likely to recommend us to others. We can certainly review the food options available here - I will talk in more detail with both yourself and the resident to make sure we are catering to everybody’s tastes. Thanks again.

My husband's illness is rare and his needs are complex. His mobility is very poor and he needs turning frequently, also his speech is compromised. The staff are diligent in giving his high level of routine care. They are all extremely kind and do their utmost to make and keep him comfortable. The staff
are very well trained and obviously take pride in carrying out their duties to the best of their ability. The overall atmosphere at Swan House is one of positive concern for residents and visitors and it's a happy place.

Very helpful and caring. The head lady and all her staff were so lovely. They made us all very settled as we were very upset. Could not do enough, not only for the friend of mine but it was a lovely homely, friendly place. Well done Swan House.

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.
