Swan House is a purpose-built care home in Willenhall, West Midlands, offering residential care, dementia care, respite care and rehabilitation care.
Fully refurbished in 2024, Swan House is a bright, modern home where the focus is firmly on everyday life. With 61 spacious single rooms, 16 en-suite wet rooms, beautiful gardens and a residents' kitchenette, the home is designed to feel comfortable, calm and genuinely homely. The home is also conveniently located close to local shops and amenities in Short Heath, Willenhall.
Swan House is a warm, welcoming community where families are encouraged to stay closely involved in residents' daily lives, with open visiting and a real sense of inclusion. The team takes real pride in the little things: freshly prepared meals, a varied activities programme and the kind of genuine attention that makes residents feel safe and settled, whether joining for a short stay or making Swan House a long-term home.
Specialist dementia care is delivered with patience, consistency and compassion, in an environment designed to support residents living with all stages of the condition. For those joining on a respite basis, every short-term stay is managed to feel as settled and familiar as possible, giving family carers the reassurance they need to rest.
The deputy home manager has 17 years of experience in the care sector and joined Swan House in April 2024. She is passionate about maintaining a warm, family atmosphere where every resident feels genuinely valued and cared for.
Swan House is located at Pooles Lane, Short Heath, Willenhall, WV12 5HJ.

This is the first experience we have with a care home. We know we couldn't have picked a better place to look after my father. The staff are genuinely caring. We haven't been able to visit him for the past year, but they have kept in regular touch with us and sent us photos. He looks happy, content and well-fed. He refers to them all being one happy family. We cannot put into words how much the staff mean to is, and how grateful we are.

My mother resided at Swan House, I couldn't ask for a more loving and homely place for her to spend her last months. The care is impeccable, the staff and management are friendly and always willing to help with any issues or problems I may have had which were few. My mom loved the staff and they all made her feel welcome and comfortable, even at the end, she had all the TLC that she and I as a daughter could have asked for. Wouldn't have wanted her anywhere else than Swan House. Thank you to all the staff for everything you do.

Having cared for dad at our home for nearly 3-years, the time came for dad to go into a care home. Swan House is local to us and dad had had several respite breaks while we went on holiday. We knew dad was in safe hands when he became a resident in Jan 2020. In the 6 months, dad was a resident, the care team went above and beyond with looking after dad. Then with Covid, the staff were brilliant even though I couldn't go inside I had to see dad by looking through his room window, I knew the staff were working so hard to look after everyone. When dad passed peacefully away the staff were so sympathetic. This meant so much to our family. We can't thank Swan House enough for all they did for dad.
Thank you all so much.

All of the staff at Swan House are polite and courteous they always greet us with hello and say goodbye but more importantly they treat each resident with dignity and respect. Every week the carers do their best to entertain the residents wether it be bingo or a good old fashioned sing song which they all seem to enjoy and everyone is encouraged to join in. The home is always kept clean and tidy and the handy man is always seen about repairing or improving the facilities. I would definatley reccomend.

My sister is happy in the Care Home, where the staff are very friendly with her and treat her with respect. Everyone looks after her with kindness and she has become very close and fond of staff and they are like a big happy family together. The rooms are light and airy and have an en-suite, which allows the residents their privacy. The facilities are good and the Home is always clean and tidy. The residents have access to the garden, where they can enjoy a coffee with family or friends or just sit outside in the warmer weather.

Swan House is a very friendly and caring environment which caters brilliantly for my mother's needs. The staff and management are a very professional team who interact well with the residents and their families alike.

We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
