The staff took my medication off me and told me I would be given it at the correct times each day, but I soon realised the following day that if I didn't ask a staff member when I was due my medication, I wouldn't receive it at all, and this carried on for the whole two months of my stay. After...
The food was inadequate and too small portions, and also was given powdered soup each night for our evening meal, which tasted like cardboard. The cleanliness of the building and the kitchen area was not very good at all and at one point I had to ask the management to clean the microwave it was that dirty.

We take all concerns raised extremely seriously and have already investigated your concerns. We also independently contacted and worked together with local authorities and regulatory partners to investigate your concerns (November). Internal and external investigations did not find substance to the concerns raised. We provide all residents with 3 daily meals as well as larger portions, supper and snacks. We also provide personal food requests at no extra cost. We found no evidence that medicine was not given as prescribed. We carry out frequent audits and external auditing, which evidence medication management is in line with policies/procedures. We are sorry you were not satisfied with your redecorated bedroom. We understand you did not wish for the curtains to be rehung. This was later addressed when you requested them. We have a dedicated team that works hard to maintain cleanliness. We are regularly inspected by our management and external agencies. Your complaints are unfounded.

My family and I have been so incredibly impressed with the care and compassion displayed at Swillbrook. My elderly grandparents understandably found the transition to living in residential care a difficult one at first, but both of them have settled so well in their new environment, and this is...
The staff are so patient with the,m and this has made a huge difference.
Working as a healthcare professional myself, I understand the challenges of this environment, and I have been suitably impressed.
The home has made it so easy for us to even bring all the great-grandchildren to visit as well, which has been lovely.
Many thanks for your continued care for two people that are very precious to us.

Can highly recommend Swillbrook House to care for a family member or close friend in their moment of need. The quality of care is excellent and very reassuring both for the person being cared for and those family and friends who know them. It is not a sprawling medical-style establishment. It has the feel and looks of a large happy family home which is very comforting and relaxing.

After pestering from my family and the carers at Swillbrook House, I took the plunge and have not regretted it. I had a super haircut which has been admired by many. I will have no hesitation in going back to her again.

My wife has been a resident at Swillbrook House since November 2016. She has settled extremely well in the home. I cannot thank the staff for the assistance they give her. Everyone goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful to both my wife and myself.

I have been working in the Health & Social Care sector for over 15 years; I started my journey in domiciliary care. During this time, I worked my way up and did my NVQ Level 2 in care. I had a passion to work in the care sector. Following this, I enjoyed my role. I continued to progress my future career in the care sector, working in both the nursing care homes and residential and briefly in mental health. I was a senior carer for many years, and I showed outstanding practices and diligence in my senior role. I was allowed to become a care home manager, which I gave 100% to. I have also studied hard and have completed my NVQ Level 5. My desire is to ensure that the people who use services are given the highest standard of care in a way that makes them feel inclusive. It is important to me that the staff I work with feel supported, empowered, and happy in their role. I will reflect, open and non-judgemental so I can learn and adapt how we all work together in the longer term. I vigorously seek new opportunities to enable me to develop within the social care profession whilst gaining as much practical experience as possible. I am extremely confident in my own abilities and pride myself on my competence to think critically and creatively, adapting to These values made me believe that I am a good home manager.
