Today was the Big Care UK Sports Day held at Sway Place. What should have taken place in the gardens was quickly and expertly moved into the restaurant. What a fabulous event and such a joyful occasion for residents (whatever their ability), friends, family and staff. Everyone had a big smile on their face and all the residents were included. One resident kept telling me how amazing the day was and that 'everyone is so so happy'. I've often seen this resident very confused and sad recently but today she was smiling from ear to ear. The home admissions advisor and the rest of the staff pulled out all the stops to make sure everyone was fed the delicious hog roast and looked after. I was so impressed with today's event and will remember my mum's egg and spoon race for a long time! A special mention must go to the home admissions advisor who is an incredible member of the team and brings so much energy, love and care into everything she does at Sway Place.
At Sway Place Care Home - Care UK we hold ourselves to a high standard and therefore we appreciate all feedback so we can continually look to improve and ensure the delivery of high-quality care.

Excellent care, accommodation, food, orange juice and cranberry cordial. The management and carers are professionals in all their work. I am a temporary short-term resident who had an alcohol problem which is now cured. I will be leaving very soon in August to live independently with a carer (3 times per week, 1 hour per day). Thank you all.

We spent some considerable time visiting a number of care homes in the local area in order to find the very best one for our mother. Sway Place was the one which stood out from all the others. We were most impressed with the location, the beautiful grounds, the layout, airy feel and atmosphere within the Home and the overall set-up. Our second visit was with our mother who was equally impressed. We had the opportunity to meet members of staff both management and carers, all of whom seemed efficient, kind and caring. We were also introduced to some of the residents who all gave a good account of the home. It is well maintained, very clean and tidy and run efficiently. The home admissions adviser went out of her way to identify a lovely room for our mother and having her own furniture and personal belongings helps to make it a home away from home for her. Our mother has been there for two years come September. She is very content, comfortable, well cared for and amongst like-minded other residents.
Hi Paul, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review and for acknowledging our welcoming atmosphere. We are delighted that Mum has settled so well and is enjoying life at Sway Place. A truly lovely review that the whole team appreciate. Best wishes, from us all at Sway Place.

I live at Sway Place in the cottage with my husband and my beloved dog Pixie. Everyone is so kind and welcoming to all of us. I am so happy that life here includes my beautiful dog. There is so much to do here with my dog - including the beautiful grounds I can walk around with my dog and my new friends who all make a fuss of us.
Thank you for your kind words. It is a pleasure having you, your husband and the beloved Pixie as part of the Sway Place Community. We understand that pets are a big part of the family, here at Sway we are delighted to welcome four-legged friends into the home.
I have been in the home for 12 months. My sister is also in the home. The staff are wonderful and cannot do enough. I have settled well and adapted to my new life at Sway Place. We enjoy the activities and varied menu.

My mother has been a resident of Sway Place for nearly a year, she loves her accommodation and all that Sway Place offers, activities, outings, meals and it is set in lovely grounds. The team at Sway Place are all so welcoming, from the domestic staff, maintenance, care staff, reception/admin, chef/catering team and the management, the families are included in not only special events but on a day to day basis. I would recommend anyone looking for residential care to visit Sway Place as it has that 'home from home' atmosphere.
Overall, Sway Place has a homely feel and all the staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food is of a good quality and the accommodation is a good size. I like that they have quiet lounges, a separate library and a couple of activity rooms. They have regular entertainment and events, which anyone is welcome to attend.
Hello. We really appreciate you taking the time to write a positive review of Sway Place Care Home. It is testament to the hard working and dedicated colleagues we have within our home.

From day one I was made to feel welcome and they made the transition very easy. Prior to moving into Sway Place Dad was in a very dark place, he was lonely, not eating properly and suffering from depression. It was a tough decision to take him away from his family home of nearly 60 years but I need never have worried, I have seen a remarkable change in him. Since being at Sway Place he’s made new friends, and been taken out on the occasional outing, he has also joined in with various activities and took great pleasure in some of their open day events where we were also invited to join in. I would therefore like to say a huge thank you to all the staff who work tirelessly and have been a great support in helping him to settle in and enjoy life again. I could not be more grateful for the care and sensitivity staff have shown to him in all aspects of the care home, be it management, reception, kitchen staff and cooks, cleaners, medical staff, maintenance, laundry staff, carers and activity staff.
Best wishes, from all at Sway Place.
Things like the cleaning of my mother's room and laundry service have improved...
Well done, and keep it up!

Thank you for your kind words – we’re so happy to hear your positive comments, and I’ll make sure these are passed on to the team. We are very much in the middle of our improvements to the exterior and held a community garden event recently that was very well received. Both residents and visitors to Sway Place have commented very positively on the changes, and residents are more engaged and actively using the grounds far more than they did. Residents and visitors are also very involved with caring for the gardens, such as watering and planting, as well as growing a range of products in our walled garden, which will be used in the kitchens as part of our seed-to-table project. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page, where you can view all our exciting garden improvements as they happen, and of course, you’re welcome to visit any time to enjoy the lovely outside space at Sway Place in person too.

Through her dementia, she believed she was living in a country hotel which spoke volumes for the quality of the surroundings at Sway Place - her room was always clean and tidy. Staff always welcomed my two sisters and me on our regular visits to see our mother, and nothing was too much trouble.

Hi Jillian, thank you for your kind words. Our Independent Cottages offer privacy and a place of your own but with the advantage of handy services and wonderful facilities on your doorstep. We are glad your mother has settled into her Cottage and is enjoying her independence and being part of the Sway Place community.
My mother-in-law moved to an independent living cottage in Sway Place in March 2023. She relocated from another care home, in the expectation that she would have greater independence; find more residents with whom she could communicate and have more consistent provision of food and other...
The cottage is well provisioned for space and facilities, having a separate bedroom and en-suite large shower room. There is a small kitchen area with a fridge and washing machine, although washing services are included.

I love to see residents flourish, and I’m so proud to see our fantastic team play an essential part in making that happen.
As home manager at Sway Place, it is hugely important to me that every person we care for is happy and feels safe. We work hard to ensure residents feel understood. For us, it is about supporting residents and enabling them to continue enjoying relationships with their loved ones.
One of my favourite parts of the day is the time I spend with residents and their relatives. It is a privilege to get to know them and hear their life stories.
I joined Care UK because it supports its teams. It is an organisation with clear values, and there are systems in place that allow each of us to do our best, so residents receive consistent quality care.
I have a BSc in Dementia Studies and an MSc in Gerontology and Ageing. I also have a level five qualification in Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care. It is an area of study that I am keenly interested in, and I also spend time researching dementia studies at the Doctoral College at the University of Surrey.
