Swn-y-Gan is a home from home. Staff make sure residents are cared for both from a medical and social perspective. Relatives and visitors are made to feel welcome and where possible residents views on any improvement e.g menus, social gatherings are sought and catered for. I can honestly say from the
kitchen staff through to the matron all are considerate, friendly approachable and care for their residents.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Swn-y-Gan is a lovely small privately owned Nursing Home in village surroundings with very competent, efficient and friendly staff. The rooms are clean and bright and the atmosphere is homely. The home cooked food and cakes are superb. Mum receives excellent care medically, on a day to day basis, and
her psychological needs are looked after as well. Nothing is too much trouble and she has improved loads since she’s been there thanks to their care and nurturing. The staff are always there for you too, should the need arise. I would recommend this wonderful home to anybody.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.694)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.694) out of 10 for Swn-y-Gan 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.694 for Swn-y-Gan is calculated as follows: ( (109 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.694

  • 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 Swn-y-Gan is based on 12 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
