Review from Val F (Wife of Resident) published on 22 February 2018

Overall Experience

I first went into Sweyne Court for a preliminary visit in October 2017. From the very first, I felt that this care home knew what it was doing and cared for its residents. My husband entered the home later in October and my original feeling has been confirmed over and over. The staff are friendly, helpful

and caring.
Either the home is able to recruit exactly the sort of people for the staff or they receive excellent training. My husband has dementia and does not really know where he is or what day it is but most days he tells me he is happy. The staff know him and his idiosyncrasies and deal with him in a good-humoured way. I have nothing but praise for Sweyne Court.

Reply from Hayley Gibbs, Home Manager at Sweyne Court

Thank you Val, for your kind words. I will share this with the staff and we will always continue to strive to make this home family environment for everybody to feel welcome.

Overall Experience

I visit my husband every day so I know the carers have got to know his ways, I feel confident with the care and attention they give him.
I appreciate everything the carers do for my husband, I have a very good relationship with them and they always take into account any suggestions I have regarding

his care. I feel they respect my feelings as sometimes it can be upsetting seeing my husband in a distressed mood which affects me greatly. Sweyne Court is now my husbands home and the carers are like another family to him and when I leave him I trust them with his care and well being.

Overall Experience

Mum moved into Sweyne Court in March when we realised that due to her dementia it was not safe for her to live on her own. My sisters and I visited the home unannounced and we were immediately impressed with the way the carers put the resident's needs first, even when showing round a prospective new

client. This was very important to us. The carers are respectful of Mum's personal needs, she likes to shower every day and they help her dress so she still looks nice. She was able to bring her own clothes and familiar belongings with her. Mum's room is cleaned every day and her clothes and bedding are all cleaned on site. Mum loves the outdoor courtyard and enjoys the regular BBQ's and activities. She enjoys visiting the on-site hair salon each week. Mum sometimes gets confused but all the staff handle her and the others with dignity. The doctor visits regularly and Mum's medication is being closely monitored rather than just being repeat prescribed. When we go home after visiting, we feel secure in the knowledge that mum is being well cared for and is safe. We would have no hesitation in recommending Sweyne Court.

Review from Edward B (Partner of Resident) published on 26 June 2017

Overall Experience

Whenever I visit the facility is either very clean or in the process of cleaning. The staff are, in general, caring and considerate of the residents needs.
For those who are unable to dress themselves perhaps more attention could be paid to dressing them in suitable clothing for the temperature (Winter/Summer)

but obviously this would mean either more staff (extra cost) or staff with more time available.
I do not know if more funds could be available to " beautify" the ladies, skin cream etc, (who seem to be in the majority) to maybe help them feel better about themselves. This review is from a male so the above sentence can ONLY be truly evaluated as regards it's validity by a female!!

Reply from Hayley Gibbs, Home Manager at Sweyne Court

Thank you Mr B, the ladies and gents are offered to spend time every Monday with the visiting hairdresser who is very accommodating and also attends on Bank Holidays, we also have a lady who visits the home every other week and offers a range of relaxation therapy, hand massages and other treatments to our residents. She also offers private sessions for those who wishing to relax in there own room rather than a group session. We will look into other alternatives for our residents to have a wider range of choice. ;)

Overall Experience

Home well, staff excellent. Room does need updating. Food excellent. More care needed with personal clothing, was in home for a week but lost quite a few items, even when I said I would wash her own clothes. Day care cannot fault, excellent.
