Since moving in during March, despite her dementia diagnosis, my mum has gained weight, grown in confidence, is much happier and has settled extremely well. The care she receives is truly person-centred, enriching her life and improving her overall wellbeing.
The management team has gone above and beyond, taking time to explain processes and provide reassurance when other services did not. They supported us through every stage of a difficult transition with patience, professionalism and understanding. I have complete confidence that my mum receives exceptional care, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive difference this wonderful team has made to her quality of life.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share a thoughtful and heartfelt review. We are truly touched by your kind words. It means the world to us all to know that the care and support we have provided has made a positive difference to your mum and your family. We are so proud of the warm and...
Mum has settled in well and is being very well looked after by all the friendly and hard working team. She has such a good quality of life and company and I know I feel so much happier that she is living in a place where she is safe and that feels like home. All family members chat away to each other too and share experiences. Staff keep us up to date with activities and visiting professionals and keep me well informed. Mum is always clean and well dressed and fed at all times. She always has a cup of tea in her hand . Couldn't be happier with all aspects of her care
Thank you for your kind review. We are so glad you are happy with the care we provide. We always try to make everyone feel welcome and to be part of the Swintonhill family. I will pass your comments to our staff.
Can't believe the entertainment that the Staff has organised for Christmas, so much care and attention has gone into making the home look fabulous. My aunt had such a wonderful time today all the staff are very attentive it really is a special place can't thank all the staff enough for their kindness.
Christmas is such a special time for all and hopes that we can bring out the inner child in us all "Ho Ho Ho".
All the staff at Swinton Hill Care Home are polite, respectful and attentive to Mum'd needs. They all have the skills and experience to do their jobs with proficiency. Knowing Mum is being well cared for puts my mind at ease. The care home is kept clean and tidy at all times. The managers and staff have a great interaction with all the residents and their families.
Thank you for your kind review. We will pass your comments to our staff. We are so glad that you are happy - this means so much.
Families and visitors are made welcome and the separate room for visitors to make tea/coffee is great. Recommended!
I am very pleased with the care my mother receives in Swinton Hill. The manager and all her staff are very caring and always friendly and pleasant on each visit.
Thank you for your kind review. The care and wellbeing of every resident is our number one priority and it is rewarding to have such positive feedback about how well we are doing. I will pass on your comments to our staff.
The staff were very welcoming and helped put our minds at ease as it was an emergency admission.
Thank you for your kind review. We are happy that we were able to assist and reassure you all as a family during this time.
The manager discussed a number of issues e.g. mental health, mobility, personal hygiene etc. In a clear and structured passion. I am happy that the review was conducted in a very thorough and thoughtful fashion.
Thank you for your kind review. We are so glad that you continue to be happy with the care we are providing and that the review gave you an insight into your mum's ongoing care.
From the moment I enquired about a place for my sister I have received nothing but friendly professional care and support from the management and all the staff. When my sister was interviewed she thought they were lovely people and was reassured about her placement. I visited and spoke to managers and was shown around the facilities. I was very impressed by everything I saw, a very relaxed atmosphere, friendly attentive staff. A daily menu and activities board available for all to see. The freedom of movement of patients and staff's helpfulness and respect for patients. I am very glad my sister was accepted. She is happy.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear you feel your sister is treated with kindness and care. The staff are very appreciative of you recognising their hard work and dedication. We always strive to make everyone feel welcome and at home.
My mother is a resident of Swinton Hill Care Home. She has been a resident for over a year and I can honestly state my mother has been well cared for. She is always well dressed and clean. All the staff are fantastic and can't do enough for all the residents if there is any problem regarding my mother. I am informed immediately. Me and my dog are always made welcome.
Thank you for your kind review. We always strive to provide the best care and we are delighted that you are happy with it. All our residents and staff also enjoy your visits to see your mum so that they can see your lovely dog!
Under paid, worth more these staff.
Thank you for your kind review. We are so glad that you are happy with the care we are providing - this means so much.
When my wife was diagnosed with dementia I was devastated and having to pick a care home was daunting, the first place was Swinton Hill and I knew immediately that it was the best. The staff and management made it an east decision. I can only say that the staff and residents have become like an extended family. They have entertainment every week and treat everyone with dignity.
Thank you for your kind review. We always hope to make everyone feel welcome and to become part of the Swinton Hill family during their dementia journey.
We had quality time with Dad at Swintonhill.
Dad was independent, living his best life, enjoying family life and his holidays, then Dad was diagnosed with dementia, and as the dementia deteriorated, it broke our heart - we knew for Dad's safety, we had to look at care.
Swintonhill gave us back quality time that we realise now was precious, making more memories that we will cherish forever.
Swintonhill showed us love, compassion and kindness from the day Dad entered until the day Dad sadly made his final journey back home.
Thank you, Swintonhill, from the bottom of my heart, I can not thank you all enough.
Not all superheroes wear capes.
My mother is a resident of this care home for over two years. Cannot fault the staff - always friendly and willing to assist and help my mother. The facilities are good. My mum was always looked after, clean, with diffident clothes, and always well dressed. She enjoyed the activities- bingo. Easy access when it was visitor's time.
I cannot recommend Swinton Hill Care Home highly enough, as the care and dedication shown by the staff towards my mum over the past four and a half years have been truly outstanding. They have gone the extra mile to ensure that my mum's needs have been catered for.
Have been visiting for a few years now. Never had any issues with my friend's care and treatment. The accommodation is comfortable and clean. Staff work hard using patience.
When it became clear that my mother required full-time care, we had no hesitation in choosing Swinton Hill Care Home, as she had previously spent a respite weeks there. Throughout the four years of her stay, the care that she has received from the staff has been excellent. As my mother is 98 and has several health issues, we are grateful to the manager and her dedicated staff for the way she is looked after. I would recommend Swinton Hill to anyone who requires residential care.
Throughout all this time, she has received excellent care from the attentive and compassionate staff, who know all the residents very well and see to their individual needs, which are varied.
On arrival for visits, we are greeted with a warm welcome, and the atmosphere is always happy and friendly.
The manager and all staff members are very approachable, listening carefully to any concerns, which are always dealt with promptly.
My husband and I are extremely grateful to everyone at the home.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Swinton Hill to family and friends alike.
When it became evident that my mum needed full-time care, I did a lot of research and visited many care homes. As soon as I spoke to the manager of Swinton Hill, I knew that the kind and caring welcome I received was exactly the place my mum needed to be. The staff are so kind and really take the time to get to know all of the residents and what their needs are. There is always a happy and positive atmosphere when I visit and know that my mum is being very well looked after.
Would highly recommend Swinton Hill Care Home, as their care and facility are second to none.
