During my visits to the home visiting my friend I have seen a remarkable difference in her overall physical and mental health and well being.
It is wonderful to see each and every time the high quality of care delivered and kindness that is shown consistently and genuinely to all service users by
all staff members.
It is clear that from initial assessment through transition to settling into her new home here her quality of life has increased and improved significantly.
A large range of activities are always offered and available with a dynamic activity coordinator who is super friendly, patient and supportive.
Initially she was not eating due to her condition, within a short time of being here the staff have put together an individualistic holistic approach which has worked wonders! My friend is now eating, drinking and enjoying her meals!
I have worked in many different nursing homes over the years, this home stands out miles. I highly recommend!

My dad is a resident for 3 years and my experience is very supportive carers who make every effort to care for my dad and his needs. I visit most days and can see my dad needs are met. He isn't able to do anything for himself. Our feedback is always listened too and out wishes are followed through.
Carers are always busy but nothing is too much trouble.

Mum was unable to stay at her home due to mobility issues and sadly due to struggling with daily activities and both personal and cognitive decline.
Recent hospital admission also confirmed it wasn't safe for her to live alone with, minimal support.
The decision to move to Swinton Grange.
From the
beginning, the manager met Mum at the hospital. Including my perspective.
Visited the home, staff rapport was amazing. Home from Home.
Involved in the transfer, Mum accepted the home. Worried about Christmas but was involved in all the activities.
In turn, the family are totally involved and offers support at a difficult time.

Since my wife has been in Swinton Grange the overall experience has been excellent, the management through to the staff have gone out of their way to help my wife and me. My wife's dementia has hit a very trying stage for us all, the management have been in battle with the local mental health team to
get the support my wife needs, they're just not listening to them, yet they keep trying. It will be a sad day if my loved one has to leave Swinton Grange. Yes it's an old building, yes it may creak a bit, yes the paint may be peeling off the odd old wooden window, but it's the love, care and dedication inside that matters.

Reply from Janet Sheppard, Home Manager at Swinton Grange

Thank you for the lovely review. Our home has plenty of love and heart in it as you have stated, we are grateful for this. We will keep battling for your wife, you can be sure of this. I will pass on your comments to our care staff and thank you once again.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Swinton Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.938 for Swinton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (439 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 466 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 Swinton Grange is based on 40 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 40 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.

Janet Sheppard

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2021

Hello, my name is Janet Sheppard, and I am the Home Manager for Swinton Grange Care Home, where I have been in post since March 2022. I have been with the Company, Hermes Care since 2021 and was successful in my appointment to this home last year.
I have been in the Care Industry for over 30 years and am well equipped with the skills required to be fully competent in meeting the care and wellbeing needs of our residents.
My experience began at home aged 14 having to look after my ill mother, after this I decided caring for others would be my vocation. I then went on to work in various Care Homes with Mental Health and challenging behaviours, which include EMI Dementia physical disabilities, learning disabilities, neurological and spinal disabilities. I have a wide range of experience in all areas having worked my way up from a Care Assistant to a Home Manager.
I hold a level 5 Diploma in leadership and management. I am trained in Non-Abusive Psychological Physical Interventions (N.A.P.P.I) which supports the staff team to implement positive strategies to manage residents who may present with challenging behaviours. I believe understanding our residents' limitations helps us to build on their strengths in order to make a positive contribution towards improving the quality of their daily lives.
As a staff team we believe one smile a day is worth every bit of the hard work the staff team here implements because it allows our resident to know that they matter.
We have developed a Dementia friendly home with tactile, sensory, visual prompts, picture aids and activities to enhance our residents communication and orientation thus ensuring our home is fit for purpose to meet the needs of the residents.
If you are looking for a permanent home from home for your loved one, please rest assured that they will be made to feel safe and comfortable in a friendly environment, treated with kindness with an emphasis that they matter.
