Swarthmore Residential Care Home

My mother was here for approximately 4.5 years. Always found the staff attentive, caring and helpful. Reaction to situations such as health timely. Always had the resident's needs uppermost. Plenty of activities, trips and visits. Overall a good carehome.

My mother stayed at Swarthmore for 10 months. She was like a different person whilst she was there. Like her old self. She was happy, comfortable and loved being with everyone. As a family we knew she was safe and cared for. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Lots of activities going on. Special diets catered for. The home itself is beautiful, clean and the grounds are magnificent. The best way for her to spend the last months of her life.

I cannot thank them enough for making her last months a happy and fulfilling experience .

We couldn't fault the care given to my mother at Swarthmore. Every carer made her feel welcome and it felt very homely. The food was excellent with plenty of choice. If she needed the help of a member of staff, they were there immediately. We would definitely like her to stay here again when she needs respite in the future. It is excellently run.

The premises are lovely and comfortable and the gardens are gorgeous in every season.

My mother is a long term resident- 5 years. In all that time we've run out of nice things to say. We've said or written all of them. They care beautifully and patiently and professionally for the residents in a wonderful environment. But more than that they embrace an entire family. My father who was not a resident and who recently died was such a frequent visitor that Swarthmore just adopted him anyway and he loved them for what they had given him - 5 years of life with a big worry lifted from him. The rest of us in the family value the time and care and the gentle, friendly and under-stated support they have provided to an entire family. We love them because ...... they're lovely and it would be hard not to.

A warm, welcoming calm and happy place, where residents are well cared for, loved and respected and valued. There are many activities planned to engage residents which cater for a wide range of interests. Everybody, staff and residents alike, always seem so happy and there is a warm glow about the place. The staff know the many different personalities and engage appropriately with each individual. Truly, a place of love, warmth and kindness.

One aspect I notice is that all the staff seem happy, smiling and willing to help. This creates a sense of home rather than institution. If my turn ever comes, I hope I can find somewhere as lovely.

We just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the summer family and friends gathering. Although we visit frequently it was lovely to share such a relaxed afternoon with my mum and dad and good to see so many generations of family together. A huge thank you for arranging such a convivial day.

There is always a warm, friendly welcome when I visit Swarthmore, my friend has been a resident for nearly 18 months and from day one we have all been made to feel that Swarthmore is our home.

Every member of staff is caring, approachable, helpful and friendly. It is a pleasure to visit the home. The rooms are well appointed, there are numerous shared indoor areas where a variety of activities take place and the garden is lovely.

Residents are treated with dignity and respect. Their voices are heard and suggestions are welcomed and acted upon.

She receives the best care we could ever have wished for. The staff have great care and compassion for everyone including families and friends visiting. Always a warm welcome. So pleased we discovered Swarthmore.

Spent a wonderful afternoon at Swarthmore for their annual summer gathering. My Mum has been a resident there since October 2024. Struggling to live on her own due to Dementia and living so far away from me I had to move her away from her home and friends so she was closer to me. She settled in very quickly and we haven't looked back since. The home is very welcoming, clean and the staff are great. Always lots of activities going on for those that wish to take part.

The team at Swarthmore supported my father in law during respite care. During his time with this excellent team the improvements in his health and determination to get well were profound. I would thoroughly recommend the home to anyone for short or long term care.

My mother spent the last five years of her life in this home, she was 99 when she died. She was suffering from the dementia throughout her time there and could be quite feisty at times. However, Mum was well behaved and lot of the time too. She was treated well and sympathetically throughout her time at the home and with plenty of patience. Staff coped with her well when she was difficult and uncooperative which happened more often in the last couple of years.

But it is the care from the team and all the staff at Swarthmore that has made the real difference for my Dad. Care and attention, numerous activities and trips have all helped his dementia and purpose in life and he has grown and changed. He is happy, safe and very content.

Wonderful care by a wonderful team. Thank you

My dad has been at Swarthmore Residential Care Home since March this year and I can honestly say it's been transformative for him! The kindness and loving care that he receives from all of the staff, along with great food and a fun filled activity roster, particularly the table tennis and dancing, have brought back the smile on his face. I can only thank you all at Swarthmore Residential Care Home for this.

Not easy to move a loved one to a home but would highly recommend Swarthmore.

My Mum was resident for exactly 3 years. She was well cared for by kind staff. She enjoyed the artistic activities and some of the trips out. The visit of the alpacas was a highlight. The staff were very good at noticing subtle changes and would keep relatives informed. Medical issues were dealt with promptly. I have no hesitation in recommending Swarthmore as a safe and caring environment.

Mum moved into Swarthmore, a care home in the heart of Gerrards Cross a few hundred metres from her house. Swarthmore is an extraordinary place, or rather the people who work there are extraordinary. They are a United Nations of Kindness. They looked after Mum with huge respect and dignity. She thrived there and I suspect without their love, she wouldn't have held on for quite so long. We are eternally grateful to them.

My mother lived in Swarthmore Residential Care Home for eight years. The staff adapted their care for her as her needs changed and became like family for her and for me. I found the team easy to approach with questions and always felt welcome in the home and well-supported. My mother received excellent care, both physically and for her personal welfare. We are very thankful for them.
