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.
Reply from Ryan Sivertsen, Home Manager at Sweyne CourtMany thanks for your kind words. We always strive to provide the best care possible and we are glad this was apparent to you. I will pass these kind words on to the team who will be pleased to hear this. We wish you and the family well and hopefully see you soon.

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.
Reply from Maxine Calverley, Home Manager at Sweyne CourtThank you for taking the time to write a review on your experience of the home and sharing it with others, who may be looking for some respite for their loved one and it may help them. We are delighted to know that Mum had a wonderful stay, and we are looking forward to seeing you and her in the very near future.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Maxine Calverley, Home Manager at Sweyne CourtThank you for taking the time to write a review, and sharing your experience with us and others. We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit with your friend and hope to see you again soon, where you can continue to make many more memories together.

Sweyne Court is a very clean, comfortable care home. The staff and management are polite, caring and helpful, treating the residents with respect and dignity. The dining and lounge areas are tidy and clean, with the decor nice and bright. The resident's room is good - clean and comfortable. Overall,
in my opinion, the care home is a safe environment for residents, is well-maintained and professionally run, and the residents are treated with kindness and compassion.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been in Sweyne Court for three years. She has always been looked after really well there, and is always happy and chatty with the staff, despite her dementia. My family are in there visiting on various days throughout the week, so see different shifts and staff dealing with various residents.
We can see that all residents are dealt with kindly and with respect and dignity. In the past, we have had other family members in other care homes and from this viewpoint, we can tell that Mum is definitely getting the best care possible.
Reply from Laura Nightingale, Sales and Marketing Business Partner at Sweyne CourtThank you for taking the time to leave a five star review of Sweyne Court. We are pleased to hear that your mum is happy and settled at Sweyne Court and that you enjoy visiting. We will pass on our kind comments to the team as well. Thank you!

Visited the care home a couple of times now, and I found the staff to be so welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble, offered The Sensory Room for privacy, and I even had tea and biscuits. The home is spotlessly clean, the carers/staff are so kind and professional, and it is a very relaxing
and calm atmosphere. My auntie seems very happy and settled.
Thank you for looking after her so well.

Sweyne Court is a welcoming, loving and determined care home, which strives to go the extra mile for the care of their residents. Volunteering at Sweyne Court is a privilege, talking with the residents who are always smiling due to the fantastic care they receive. I highly recommend Sweyne Court to
anyone as they always go that extra mile, never failing to keep up with the demands of residents.
Reply from Maxine Calverley, Home Manager at Sweyne CourtThank you for taking the time to write a review of the care home and sharing your experience whilst you have been volunteering at the home. The residents so look forward to having the younger generation visit and support with activities, manicures and 1-1 reminiscence etc. We truly appreciate your visits and seeing the kindness shown to all our residents you are a credit to yourselves and the school.

My stepfather moved into the care home in May 2023 and sadly passed away relatively soon after in September. The care that the staff showed, particularly during his last days was of great comfort to me and indeed the family. Nothing was too much trouble and he was treated with the utmost respect right
until the end.

We unfortunately only used Sweyne Court services for five months, but during that time we received a high level of care from all the staff. In the final days the level of care was outstanding, with all staff being very respectful throughout. Ultimately, this service helped our family to see how much
the staff care. Above and beyond just a job.
Reply from Maxine Calverley, Home Manager at Sweyne CourtThank you for being so thoughtful, as to taking the time to write a review and sharing your experience of the home and the team with others.

Mum came to Sweyne Court from hospital in London, it all happened fast and I didn't get a chance to see it first. But I can honestly say it's a lovely place, all Mum's needs are catered for. As Mum is a dementia resident, it's not always easy, but I find all the staff patient, caring and have a great
sense of humour. They keep me up to date on Mum's needs. We have informative meetings. They treat Mum like they would treat famiy, a great place for your loved ones.
Reply from Maxine Calverley, Home Manager at Sweyne CourtThank you for your kind words. We are thrilled that you and your mother have had a positive experience of our home. The team will be delighted with these comments and I will be sure to pass them on. We strive to make every move into the home as smooth as possible for our residents and families and continue to work together, ensuring families are continuously updated and included with their loved ones wellbeing.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) 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 5.0 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.952 for Sweyne Court is calculated as follows: ( (354 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 372 Ratings = 4.952
  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 31 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 31 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.
