Review from A K (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very satisfied with the care and attention, my mother received, during her one week's respite. The staff has endless patience and treated my mum with the utmost dignity. Mum enjoyed her meals, which was a bonus as I sometimes struggle with her eating. I was most surprised on returning home when
my mum said she would be quiet happy to go back another time. Considering she was a bit reluctant to go for respite so I could have a break.

The staff who work at Sweyne Court really care. They don't just provide the necessities such as nutritious food and personal care but their affection for residents is evident - little squeezes, hugs, encouragement and infinite patience. My mum's been here for 4 years and she couldn't be in better hands.
So reassuring.

Since mums been at Sweyne Court she has received a high standard of care. When she first arrived she was very apprehensive. The last few months mother is more relaxed and more often than not she has a smile on her face, has a laugh and seems content.

Review from Claire W (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum initially entered Sweyne Court as a respite patient in April 2019. She had been living in our Annexe, and we had been struggling with not only her dementia and behaviour but also regular carers. Mum had a bad fall, and we felt respite was a good solution. For various reasons, respite became
permanent. All of the staff have always treated mum with care, respect and dignity. I visit, unannounced, at different times and have never found the staff to be any different. I was recently in mum's room and overheard a really moving exchange between a staff member and an elderly gentleman, the level of empathy and respect shown, really moved me and reassured me that mum is in the right place. Mum has changed beyond belief since being with Sweyne. She is no longer irrational, emotional and distressed, she has settled better than any of us could have expected or hoped and we are truly grateful to the staff for the compassionate care and patience they show in all of their dealings.

My mum has been in here for respite followed by rehabilitation and has always been treated with respect and dignity. I go in unannounced at all different times and the staff are always caring. They constantly come round with drinks and you cannot fault the food. I have struggled with Mum's illness and
the staff have been a shoulder to cry on as they understand. As they say, it will never be like their own home but it comes close.

The staff at Sweyne Court have been so welcoming and reassuring since Dad was admitted at Easter. They have done all they can to ensure he is safe and well cared for. Dad seems to love interacting with everyone. The home is kept very clean and staff are skilled and friendly. He couldn’t be in better
hands, thank you to Sweyne Court.

Review from Lynda W (Sister of Resident) published on 16 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have visited my sister on quite a few occasions, without any notice and have always been struck on how caring and dedicated every member of staff I have been in contact with.
I always come away very melancholy with regard to the situation itself but happy in the knowledge that my sister is being
well looked after and is in the best place possible.
As I live a long way from the home and cannot visit very often, it is good to know that my sister is safe and being treated with respect and dignity.

My mother attended the day centre in the last few weeks of her life (she was not a resident). The staff were fantastic and made her feel so welcome, they put on lots of different activities to stimulate her.


She really enjoyed her days at the centre, and I wish I had known about it earlier! Thank

you Sweyne Court.

My mum is in Sweyne Court because she has Alzheimer's. All the staff have always been very kind and caring towards Mum and I feel she has the best care.
Managers, supervisors and all care and kitchen staff are always kind, helpful and supportive to Mum and us.
I have recommended this home to a friend
who needed to find care for her father in law. I cannot rate Sweyne Court highly enough. I have always been very happy with Mum's care.

I visit Mum (96) on a regular basis and always find the management, senior carers, carers, cleaners and catering all very open and informative. The day to day care is excellent. The home is clean with very little smells you sometimes associate with care homes. Any medical problems with Mum the care
home will telephone me and inform me so I can visit quickly if necessary. Mum has been in the home since July 2016 and seems happy and safe. Any concerns I may have from time to time I discuss with the carers who always respond positively.

I came to visit my friend at Sweyne Court recently and was overwhelmed with the care and attention my friend receives. The staff are very attentive and great with the service users.

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.
