Review from Gina S (Friend of Resident) published on 19 June 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
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.

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.

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.

Thank 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.

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.

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.

Review from Paul M (Son of Resident) published on 12 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been resident in Sweyne Court for almost a year now. Prior to admission she was diagnosed with mild dementia and was unable to care for herself. She wasn't maintaining basic hygiene, was hardly eating and was in a general state of distress. Sweyne Court staff have worked wonders with Mum. She
is eating regularly, putting on and maintaining a healthy weight and washing regularly. They look after her health and have tapered her smoking habit from twenty to thirty cigarettes a day to rarely now one or two a week. My mother is very stubborn, so we are astonished at the positive progress. When we visit, Mum is very settled and seems to enjoy the routine and atmosphere of the home. Gone is the anxiety and back is the cheeky humour that we missed before. As a relative, the staff keep us well informed and involved in her care plan, and we are welcome to visit at any time.

We hope by sharing your review this will give others hope and comfort when they are perhaps looking for care for their loved one.

Sweyne Court staff have been brilliant in settling my mum in to the care home, attended to all her needs, brought her weight up to a healthy level, addressed her health and personal care issues, all of which couldn't have been done before my mum went into the care home.
We had a very positive and
progressive care discussion with the team to address how my mum was, what the care home had done to continue her care and what my brother and I would like to see addressed and suggestions for hobbies. All very positive.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.980)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.980) 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.980 for Sweyne Court is calculated as follows: ( (351 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.98
  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 30 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 30 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.
