Sweetcroft is a beautiful care home. The staff here are always so very welcoming. My mum is happy and content here. She always looks well and has a lot to say on the things she does on a daily basis. In fact, all the residents do. The management here will always answer to any queries I have regarding
my mum and will go out of their way to make sure she has anything she needs, whether it be health, medical and well-being. I myself enjoy being here when visiting. Such a beautiful, lovely care home.

Mum has been at Sweetcroft for 3 years now. I have always found the management and staff to be friendly, caring and very helpful. The home is small and has a great family atmosphere. There are always activities going on for residents (and visitors!) to take part in. The standard of care Mum has received
at Sweetcroft is second to none.

As of December this year, my mum has been a resident of Sweetcroft for just over a year. In this year we have seen a dramatic improvement in her mental and physical well-being. This is down to the excellent care and attention she receives from all the staff and the inclusive environment at Sweetcroft.
We cannot praise this establishment enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nan has been a resident at Sweetcroft for just over a year now. She has dementia and was unable to live on her own anymore. We were looking for a home that would give the care and love she deserves. We found it at Sweetcroft. The staff there are amazing, they really know the residents. The staff
are so patient and kind and always so happy and positive. Whenever my family and I visit there is always an activity going on. A birthday celebration, Chinese New year or Remembrance Sunday are a few examples. As a family, we are grateful for the care my nan receives, I look forward to seeing her happy and well looked after and when I leave, she waves at the window, just like she did when she was at her own home.

All the staff and management are wonderful! They are caring, compassionate, professional and genuinely nice people. I visit regularly and the staff are always welcoming. The residents appear relaxed and happy. Besides being treated with great care and dignity, they are encouraged to take part in the
variety of activities on offer – there is also a lot of laughter! My mother is full of praise for the staff and says they can’t do enough for her. She is always complimentary about the food which is plentiful and tasty. Sweetcroft is always clean with fresh displays linked to celebrations and seasons. I think it is an exceptional care home and feel totally comfortable leaving my mother in their care.

Everyone is always welcoming and friendly when we visit. Mum is well cared for - she is enjoying the food and has a lovely, light-feel room. The care home is quite small, and consequently, there is clearly a real personal approach, which is really beneficial to the residents. Sweetcroft is clearly a
well-managed care home.

This care home stood out when we were looking around for a suitable place due to the friendliness of all the staff and the overall feeling of it being cosy, relaxed and secure. The rooms are a good size that provides furniture for all the clothes and belongings with the option of either a bath or shower
in the en-suite. Plus, a bedside alarm and pressure pad for nighttime in case of movement out of the bed. The activities coordinator is brilliant, and my mum is more stimulated than I have seen her for years since being a resident here.

Sweetcroft has provided excellent care for my mother since she arrived here. The staff are pleasant, enthusiastic and caring. Being a small care home, it provides a more domestic, less institutional atmosphere than other care homes we inspected. Management has adequate overviews and focuses on the operation,
contributing greatly to the overall performance.

Wonderful in every way. Having to put a loved one in a care home is tough, but Sweetcroft supported my family through the transition and settled my father in the loveliest way. The staff are truly amazing, kind, caring, fun and welcoming. My family feel blessed to have found this gem of a place. As
the residents themselves say, it is not a care home, it is a five-star hotel they are lucky enough to live in.

I'm really impressed with Sweetcroft Care Home for the care and support given to my mother since she came into the home. She is in a lovely room, overlooking the garden with her own ensuite facilities. The activities that are offered to the residents are excellent. In all the time I have been visiting
Mum, I'm very appreciative of their caring nature to all the residents from all of the staff - they are so cheerful and friendly to us visitors and in such lovely surroundings throughout the home. Mum was impressed with the food from the first week of her stay, and I've never heard her complain since.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.958)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Sweetcroft Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.958 for Sweetcroft Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (299 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.958
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sweetcroft Care Home is based on 26 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
