Review from Linda D (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 29 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Every visit, I feel comfortable, welcomed and satisfied with all aspects of the home. My relative enjoys the food, enjoys the company of the lovely carers, he likes a laugh and most of the carers have a joke, dance, and a good laugh with him I think he's settled in well and we are satisfied that he's
having a "happy time". Thank you all for looking after him.

My Mother is well looked after. I don't have to worry when I'm not around as staff are amazing all the way from cleaners, admin, carers and manager. She has regular food, drinks, and snacks all of which she looks forward to having. The staff are very welcoming at any time of the day.

Review from Liberty P (Great-granddaughter of Resident) published on 18 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This care home is a brilliant place for family/ friends, providing everything they need including a laundry room provided in the care home. All laundry is always put away tidy and clean and never any issues. As so for the kitchen, providing a selection of choices for breakfast and lunches. The staff
here are great with communicating to all of the residents and their needs and not only do they care for them but they are compassionate.
The management team is also very helpful and supportive, making sure anything needed from you is done straight away. Overall this is a great care home where you know your family is happy whenever you can't be there feeling comforted.

Review from R D (Son of Resident) published on 16 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Had an excellent visit. The staff are very kind and patient. The facilities are excellent and the rooms are warm and comfortable. The food is superb. All the staff know the needs of the residents individually and help them enormously. My mother is very happy at Sketty House and we can visit her at any
time. There are no 'visiting hours' as such. The staff are careful to ensure that residents' clothes don't get mixed up in the laundry and there is a high degree of cleanliness at all times. Hairdressing and Chiropody are available. There are many excellent activities for residents. Overall-splendid!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.221)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.221) out of 10 for Sketty House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.764 for Sketty House is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.764
  2. 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 4.457 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sketty House is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3.6
    2. 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.857
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
