Swarthmore Residential Care Home provided care, including end-of-life care, to my father. The staff were always kind and professional and treated him with the respect that one would hope. The staff appeared to do all they could to make him happy and comfortable. The food was decent and they made an effort to put on activities to provide stimulation for those who wanted it. They were good at communicating and visiting was never an issue. It is slightly more personal than some homes and the fact that some of the staff remembered looking after his mother, some twenty-five years ago, shows that they enjoy working there which is always a good sign!
The care staff have done everything they can to make my mother feel happy and comfortable in her new environment (especially...
I would like to thank every member of staff in Swarthmore for everything they have done for my mum.

On arrival at Swarthmore by ambulance after a major operation, I was welcomed by very friendly staff, shown to my room and my belongings put away for me. During my three-week stay, I have received professional and friendly care at all times. I cannot praise the food highly enough, excellently cooked, very varied and always a choice. The room I had was very comfortable, well-furnished and spotlessly clean. The laundry service was excellent. Help was readily available in getting to bed and up in the morning.
Thank you for your kind words about Swarthmore Residential Care Home.

Dad had respite care at Swarthmore following a hospital stay. Staff were friendly and welcoming, reassuring him when he was confused and always kept me up to date with information. Dad enjoyed the company of the staff and said they always had time for him and had a good laugh together. He loved the garden, said the food was excellent and that his bed was comfortable. He liked the home so much he has decided that he will move there permanently if he needs to go into a care home. What better compliment is there?
The care at Swarthmore was excellent. All the staff were kind and understanding, always willing to stop whatever they were doing for a...

Any assistance he required he was given, nothing too much trouble.
They are professional and caring, and my step-father enjoyed their company, as he did not venture out much from his room, but he knew that there was always help at...
I recommend Swarthmore highly, and if you have need of them, you will be looked after well and be part of their family.
My grandmother recently had a fall which resulted in her needing respite care while she recovered - an idea she was not fond of! However, from the moment we arrived, she was greeted with such kindness and care that she was instantly put at ease. The staff and management are so kind and attentive to...
We highly recommend Swarthmore and wouldn't hesitate to contact them if needed in future.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to have your grandmother in the home, she settled well, and the team thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and helping her recuperate. Thank you for choosing Swarthmore.
Long after she was able to recognise me she would always smile when her carers came into her room and I will always be grateful for how she was looked after for over a decade.

Thank you for your kind words. Her smile certainly lit up the room. She will be dearly missed.
Welcoming, conscientious and friendly. Lovely spacious grounds, not restrictive. Look forward to going again.

Mum became a Swarthmore Residential Care Home in March 2019, aged 95, and in a frail, confused condition following some four weeks in the hospital. On arrival, we were immediately reassured by the welcome and the caring attention she was given. We were able to visit whenever we wished and soon got to know the staff and residents, as well as the house and the beautiful gardens. Mum's strength and confidence rapidly grew as she was lovingly cared for and entertained with a full programme of events every day of the week. Mum enjoyed the meals and thrived on the company of staff and fellow residents, particularly when visits were restricted during Covid. Mum spent the last three years of her life at Swarthmore, and we are grateful for the care and companionship she received. We have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

I would happily recommend Swarthmore to other families.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Regards.
Mum was a resident of Swarthmore for almost a year. The staff were very friendly and welcoming to her, and she formed close relationships with several members of staff in varying roles in the house. We feel they were genuinely very fond of her. Her room was warm and very sunny, there did appear to...
We would be happy to recommend Swarthmore and have done so to other families.
Mum was in Swarthmore for a number of years before passing away in February this year. This was the best care home that Mum was in. Many promised lots but didn’t deliver. Swarthmore, at all times, treated Mum as an individual. She was treated with respect and dignity. We knew she was safe and well...
Mum had her last few days at Swarthmore. The staff and the care she received from them were exemplary. Faultless. Their care for us as her family at this difficult time was outstanding.
When she moved into Swarthmore, she was extremely...
We have kept this review short; but believe us, we are completely sincere and feel very deeply about recommending Swarthmore to any concerned family.
Thank you for your kind words; this means so much to everyone at Swarthmore. She is dearly missed to all that knew her well; she was sincerely part of our family at Swarthmore. We were very lucky to have had the privilege to have known her and yourselves.
I stayed at Swarthmore for one week following surgery which was very beneficial to my recovery. The staff and atmosphere were very relaxing and caring. They also catered for my specific diet at mealtimes and nothing is too much trouble. All in all, the experience was extremely pleasant.

Swarthmore did the most amazing job caring for my elderly aunt over several years. All the staff did so with compassion, professionalism and dedication, often going above and beyond what one could reasonably expect. This became especially apparent in her final weeks prior to passing away in late March.
The atmosphere at Swarthmore is that of a "home" where residents have the opportunity to socialise and join in many activities as suits their mood and state of health.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending you seriously consider Swarthmore.
Swarthmore's greatest asset (in my eyes) their staff. At all times very friendly and cheerful, and more importantly, kind and caring. All communication, whether in person or via telephone, was...
My family and I are very grateful to all the team at Swarthmore, and I would certainly recommend it.
