I came to Sweetcroft after a spell in hospital. The caring and kind staff helped me regain my strength - to rest when I wanted to, encouragement to walk - albeit slowly. I feel I am amongst kind and friendly staff. I am very content. I have no complaints.

My mum has been at Sweetcroft for two months. She arrived following a lengthy and traumatic stay in hospital. She arrived bedbound and very weak and unwell. Two months on, she is now thriving, putting on weight and walking again. She is always extremely complimentary and happy with the care she receives.
We visit her regularly and are made to feel most welcome by the staff. From our experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending Sweetcrofy.

Excellent care home with incredible facilities. We couldn’t be happier with the care our grandmother is getting. She’s come out of her shell, eating more and generally thriving. The activities are out of this world. Food is wonderful, with a great variety. All staff are warm and kind and take a great
deal of care with the residents, which is wonderful to see.

I moved to this home in January this year (2021) following a fall at home. I was unable to walk when I came here, but the staff were excellent and helped me with exercises every day, and now I am walking unassisted. I love all the staff; they are all so kind and patient. My room is large and very nice
and expensively decorated. The food is very nice and tasty. I am very happy here and feel secure.

My dad is very, very happy. He settled far better than we expected. We looked at many, many homes before selecting this one, and this is far superior to any others. Activities are wonderful and still much cheaper than alternative care homes we looked at that offer far less. He has a better quality of
life now than he ever had.

I am very happy here. I have been a resident for almost six months, and I have a great quality of life. The staff are all very kind, caring, and they always take the time to talk to me. I really enjoy all the activities and the parties. The food is very good, and I always have lots of options. My bedroom
is beautiful, much nicer than my house/bedroom at home. I have many friends here, and I only wish I came sooner.

I am very pleased that he is in your care. He is obviously very happy and settled in the home. I feel he is very well looked after and always looks very clean and tidy. The way he is joining in all the activities you arrange is an excellent high, and I think it is a good incentive considering his condition.

Thank you for your wonderful review. It is lovely to see him joining in all the activities and creating such tight bonds and friendships with the other residents and staff. It's a joy to see any resident settle in so well and makes us very proud to see him walking again.

Mummy has been with Sweetcroft for the last 2 years. Since the new owners and manager arrived I have seen amazing improvements. I can leave Sweetcroft and know Mummy is in excellent hands. Before the new owners arrived I was coming 3 to 4 times a week as the care was very sloppy by some staff. Now lockdown
is here I am able to relax and know Mummy is really being cared for.

I cannot thank the owners, manager and staff enough. They have made the transition for my grandfather so smooth in such difficult times. They have been so professional, compassionate and welcoming. He has settled in so well and is the happiest he has been in a long time. He really enjoys the impressive
range of activities and is always talking about how kind, caring and generous the staff are. He loves Sweetcroft and really feels at home there. I feel so reassured knowing he is being looked after to such a high standard. I highly recommend Sweetcroft.

It means a lot to us at Sweetcroft to know that friends and family members acknowledge the wonderful care that we give to all our residents. We are a small care home but we have a big heart and most importantly, we know all our residents and ensure that we tailor our care to their needs. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

My grandad was admitted to Sweetcroft in March and what wonderful changes we have witnessed in him throughout that time. The team really do provide exceptional care and he has settled in better than we could ever have expected. We know that Sweetcroft is not the norm in the care industry as we had relatives
in other care homes who received substandard care by comparison. Sweetcroft makes what they do look easy. It's only said that all care and nursing home are not run to this superb standard, by staff and management who have expertise, compassion, kindness and understanding. The whole family couldn't be happier that grandad is in such a safe and happy environment as well as knowing he is being stimulated with meaningful activities and emotional support.

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.
