Review from Paul R (Son of Resident) published on 2 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At the 1st glance, Sweyne Court doesn't look much but has all the comforts required and is very clean inside and outside the building.
The biggest asset this home has is the genuine and consistent level of care offered by the staff who are absolutely amazing. We cannot thank them enough for the relentless
effort they made to care for our mum. Mum recently passed but was so happy at this home and that has been a comfort to know she was in good hands with her care.
We were very lucky to find this hidden gem of a care home .
Reply from Ryan Sivertsen, Home Manager at Sweyne Court

Many thanks for your kind words, we are glad you found Sweyne Court a suitable place for your mum and were happy with the care received.

Sweyne court is a lovely care home where the staff make the residents and their loved ones feel like family. They provide activities to keep the residents motivated and my auntie really enjoys them. Everyone is so kind, friendly and approachable should there be any concerns. My auntie is happy there
and often says the staff are so lovely. The meals provided are varied and my aunt enjoys them.

Review from S P (Sister of Resident) published on 2 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sweyne Court has been my brother's home for the last five years and he (and we as his family) cannot fault the care he has received. Any issues (although few) are dealt with promptly; the staff are all so kind and caring creating a positive and nurturing atmosphere; and we all feel included and cared
for, whether as a resident or as a relative.
The premises itself is always clean, tidy and smells good (a positive sign of the pride the staff take in their work and in the home and residents in general).
Activities try to include as many residents as possible; and families are invited to events where the staff go out of their way to provide an enjoyable and inclusive experience.
As a family, we are so grateful that we can visit our brother knowing that the worry of his care has been taken off our shoulders. He is content and so are we.

I live in the USA and I am visiting my mum. I am very impressed with Sweyne Court but importantly, I love all of the staff. They are so friendly and caring to my mum and other residents. When I am at home, I call to speak to my mum everyday by telephone. I am always greeted by all of the staff in a
professional manner. They are all very kind to my mum and that means everything to me.

Thank you very much for your kind words. It is lovely to hear that you are reassured, even from the USA and are satisfied with her care. We hope you enjoy your visit to England.

Mum settled into Sweyne Court very well and we always had a lot of confidence in the staff for the love, care and support they gave her. Particularly over the last couple of days, her needs were studied 100 and the staff also looked after us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been at Sweyne Court for 3 years. She is extremely happy living there. She is very well cared for. She enjoys the food which is freshly cooked and delicious. The lifestyle coordinator provides an excellent range of activities for residents which Mum enjoys. She really likes the in-house activities.
But the lifestyle coordinator also arranges many visitors from the local community such as regular visits from the local school and church. She also takes the residents out for shopping trips or trips to the seaside. All staff are totally dedicated to the care of the residents. They treat residents with care and respect at all times. All staff are welcoming to residents visiting. They keep me well-informed about my mum. This is a wonderful home with exceptional staff.

My mum went into Sweyne Court for respite whilst I was on holiday. Having visited the home previously, I was convinced this was the right place for Mum to stay. On arrival, she was greeted by a friendly member of the team. He made her feel very welcome. On collecting Mum, she was happy and relaxed.
She was clean and nicely dressed. Even though Mum has Alzheimer's, she didn't appear upset in any way. I was very impressed and booked again already.

What a wonderful experience it was to visit my old friend at Sweyne Court who sadly has advanced dementia and does not remember me but it was abundantly clear how well she was being looked after. She was bright and happy and looked very smart. The staff were all wonderful and friendly. We had tea and
biscuits in the 'quiet room' which is so lovely. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and tidy and there was a general feeling of cam, warmth and care. Sweyne Court has certainly got it right. 10/10.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Sweyne Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.942 for Sweyne Court is calculated as follows: ( (361 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.942
  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 Sweyne Court is based on 32 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 32 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.
