I have to say I visited my uncle today and was amazed at how well he looked. He suffers from vascular dementia, and it goes to show the care he is receiving. We had our visit in the activities room, and I was there to assist him with his lunch which was braised steak, vegetables, roast potatoes and
Yorkshire pudding. It was well presented to him by the care assistant. The meal was that good; I wished I was having it myself. The home is spotless, and the domestics do a fantastic job; there is no odour on entry, not like the other home he was in. It is a sterling job the new manager has done to turn it around. Well done to all, and the staff are a credit to the group.

Since one of my best friends has been a resident of the home for several months now, the management and daily staff have been very supportive, friendly and respectful.
I visit each week and my friend seems very happy and shows no signs of distress or reluctance to be there and is treated with dignity
and respect. He has improved in so many ways, physically and mentally since he has been a resident. He does comment regularly that the food is good and is always to be eager to have his dinner, which is his signal for me to exit until the next visit. The home seems to have got the balance right between keeping the residents safe, happy and well looked after and the wants and needs of visitors and relatives.
The activity room seems to be well used and to be able to interact with my friend there on a regular basis is a bonus for him and myself.
I am happy that, at last, my friend is being cared for in a quality home close to his friend and relatives. Well done to all the staff at Swinton Grange.

My mother has been a resident of the care home for the last nine years. She has severe dementia and, at times, has exhibited very demanding behaviour. The staff and management throughout the years have been fantastic with both my mum and me, and without their amazing support, I would not have gotten
through this. They are very kind and gentle and have enormous amounts of compassion and understanding. The care and patience they show are to be recommended.

Swinton Grange - wonderful, caring, supportive staff. I totally admire them and the incredible work they do.
Our friend, who is a resident, is happy in the care home. We witness how caring, friendly and encouraging the staff were with him. We are always welcomed on our visits and I have nothing but
admiration for all members of the staff.
Carry on the good work.

My dad has been here for 5fivemonths now. He is well-settled and as happy as he can be. After stays in several different homes, we love Swinton Grange. Good clean facilities, friendly, patient staff and excellent communication between the home and ourselves. We have had a few small dramas and all have
been dealt efficiently and with great kindness. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. Cannot wait for visiting restrictions to be relaxed.

All the workers at Swinton Grange, domestic staff, carers, nursing staff and management are at all times professional, friendly, supportive and approachable. They have all become my lifeline since my husband became a resident several months ago. His care has been exemplary in every aspect of his many
needs. The home is bright, colourful, and beautifully kept with a lovely atmosphere. A pleasure always to visit.

My dad has been a resident here for well over six months. He is very settled. The staff and the facilities are amazing. If we have any questions, the staff are always happy to answer them regarding my dad's care. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and I would highly recommend this care home.

My father is a resident, and he has really settled in. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who care for his needs, which as a family, puts us at ease when we can't be there. The staff and management are very approachable if you have any questions. We are really happy that my dad is a resident
at Swinton Grange.

This home is fantastic. I've received nothing but polite and welcoming staff. The lovely manager has helped me and my family, so much in finding the right care for my grandad. He is so settled and enjoying his time there. I was so worried about finding the right place for my family, and this place is
100% perfect.
Thank you so much!

I went to visit a family friend, and one of the managers was doing such an amazing job; she stood out so much with how genuinely caring and pure-hearted she is. She not only makes the place light up, but she also made it a lovely atmosphere to be in. I will forever recommend this care home as its such
a warm and welcoming home due to the staff!

Mam seems happier than she was in her previous care home. They have sorted out her calves/ankles, which were really swelled up. She always looks well dressed and clean, her hair always looks very clean. She speaks very highly of the staff. She has good days and bad days, but in general, seems to have
accepted she is in the best place for her.

My friend has recently been moved to Swinton Grange, and I cannot be more pleased for him. The team are extremely accommodating, goes the extra mile, and evidently works together to provide high-quality care, support, and encouragement, which he so needed.
The surroundings are exceptional, clean, bright
and airy. My friend has a lovely room. Always mentions he enjoys the quality food provided, and his personal hygiene has greatly improved since he moved there too!
The manager and her lovely team cannot do enough for each resident, which is clear to see when I visit. For the first time in three years of battling to get him what he needs, finally, since his move to Swinton, he is being cared for with the quality care and respect he deserves!
The team at Swinton Grange are clearly a team! Thank you for caring for my dearest friend!

All the staff are very welcoming and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble for them; they will go that extra mile to help the residents and visitors. Very caring staff. The standards of Swinton Grange are extremely good, very clean and always smells nice. My mum has only been here just over a month,
and the first time my sister and I visited the home, we knew it was the one for her. We are so happy and content knowing that she is well looked after and cared for.

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.
