Gracewell of Sway care home is truly the nicest care home I have visited, it’s beautiful, clean, modern and our grandfather's room was so very homely. The facilities that come with this care home are beyond what we expected and the care offered by the staff members is what you would want for your family
member. I had met with a number of the staff members at Gracewell and all were very kind and loving towards my grandfather and I’m so very happy he was there, our family saw a difference in our grandad and we were beyond happy.
Many thanks to the team here at Gracewell, we would always recommend you.
Reply from Rachel Bedford, General Manager at Sway PlaceThank you for your kind words. We believe we have a fantastic team here at Gracewell of Sway and your recognition of this is appreciated by every member of our team. By having a whole-home approach here at Sunrise we believe this creates a relaxed and friendly environment for our residents to call home.

Thank you so much for taking such great care for my grandad, what a lovely place it is. My grandad's care started at such a difficult time of the Coronavirus lockdown. The assessment was quick to arrange, and care began immediately, following full PPE procedures. All the family are impressed with the
professional service given. All the girls are lovely. Highly recommended.

During my mother’s 5+ year residential stay at Gracewell of Sway, I have nothing but praise for all aspects her stay; from the entertainment and activities on offer and the quality and variety of the meals, to the maintenance and housekeeping staff who ensure that the home is always looking its best
and (most particularly) the carers who look after all the residents with good humour, thoughtfulness, tenderness and top quality attention to their individual needs.

Although you only require a review for the last 12 months I comment on the resident’s time at Gracewell since 2016. She was made to feel very welcome after a horrible stay in hospital. I cannot fault the care and attention she received. The staff are very caring. She enjoyed the activities provided
and certainly kept her engaged both physically and mentally. The staff were able to look after her needs as her dementia worsened. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gracewell to others.
Reply from Rachel Bedford, General Manager at Sway PlaceThe team here at Gracewell of Sway would firstly like to thank you for your kind words. We strive, as a team, to work closely with our residents so we can provide the very best care for each individual in our home, and we are glad to have made a difference.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After an accident at home, my father-in-law broke his wrist. Unable to care for her husband, both my father and mother-in-law went to Gracewells for respite care together, never having been separated before. Very quickly it became obvious they were unable to return home.
Gracewells handled the whole
situation very sensitively with the whole family, and particularly my in-laws, at what was a very emotional time.
The staff have always treated them with dignity, kindness and eager to form a relationship with them.
A great team of hardworking staff at a particularly trying time.
Reply from Rachel Bedford, General Manager at Sway PlaceOur care teams are central to everything we do in our home, your recognition of their passionate and skilled work is fantastic to hear. Thank you for your kind words, these will be shared with the rest of the team here at Gracewell of Sway.

My mum was a resident at Gracewell of Sway from January 2018 until her death in September this year. Initially, she lived on the independent living floor but, following a fall and the increasing impact of dementia, had to move up to the Reminiscence floor in August 2018.
Throughout her stay, she was
treated with kindness and received excellent care. Not once did I experience any negative behaviour from the hard-working and caring staff.
When I visited, I was always made to feel welcome and invariably offered a cup of tea.

They have been incredibly thoughtful to keep family members up to date of all new procedures put in place. I knew that their genuine care

My late mother and late stepfather stayed at Sway for almost five years. They stayed after their initial trial month and were very happy with the home and its staff as was I. The food was good and I ate there quite often. My folks enjoyed their stay as much as they could, bearing in mind my mother's
increasingly poor mental state. The other residents seemed very happy, albeit that there was always someone moaning about this and that - they never seemed to leave though, nor did their daily enjoyment of life seem to be affected.

I have lived in one of the cottages at Gracewell for the last four and a half months, and it has been a very happy time. Gracewell is coronavirus free, due I'm sure to the cleanliness and hygiene practised here. The staff are friendly and endlessly helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. The standard
of catering is consistently good and sometimes exceptional. The cottages, in particular, are an exceptionally good idea and allow the complete independence of your own home. Some people have been here for 9 years. Proof!

My Mum stayed here for over 7 years and I can honestly say that the care that was shown to her throughout that time was of the very highest standard. I never had second thoughts about my choice of care home. I was always kept well informed of any issues, changes or concerns. The last few days showed
the staff at their very best, and it was very humbling to see staff who had already done a long shift, want to sit with my Mum when they should be going home. I could not expect a higher level of care or a more dedicated team.

This is the third time my parents have stayed at Gracewell, and hopefully, this is now their forever home. On each occasion, the manager has gone above and beyond to accommodate my parents. All the staff are very professional, friendly and smiley. The facilities are amazing and I love the fact that

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.928)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.928) out of 10 for Sway Place is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.928 for Sway Place is calculated as follows: ( (485 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 514 Ratings = 4.928
  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 Sway Place is based on 43 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 43 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

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.
